  • Basic Trope: An eerie character with dark hair and pale skin. * Straight: Elvira, the eerie girl, has black hair and extremely fair skin, providing visual contrast. * Exaggerated: Elvira has Shiny Midnight Black hair, no colour to her skin at all, and haggard, sunken eyes. * Justified: * Elvira is allergic to light or simply doesn't tan. * Alternately, she's a Hikikomori. * Or anemic. * Inverted: Darkskinned Blonde. * Subverted: * It's revealed Elvira dyes her hair black and uses pale foundation. * Despite her eerie appearance, Elvira is an upbeat Perky Goth. * Elvira's pale skin and black hair makes her look beautiful instead of eerie. * Double Subverted: * But the makeup is to enhance her naturally fair skin tone, and her hair is dark brown rather than black. * Under her Perky Goth exterior, though, Elvira's got a lot of dark secrets she's hiding. * Parodied: Every time Elvira meets new people, they are horrified and think she's a ghost or a vampire. * Deconstructed: ??? * Reconstructed: ??? * Zig Zagged: ??? * Averted: Elvira doesn't have dark hair or pale skin. * Enforced: "We need to make our Strange Girl look creepy. That black-hair-and-pale-skin combo always works." * Lampshaded: Elvira's friend Bob says, "Elvira, you look like a vampire. It's really kinda creepy." * Invoked: Elvira is a Goth and deliberately goes for this look. * Defied: Elvira doesn't want to creep people out, so she dyes her hair blonde and visits the beach regularly. * Discussed: 'Man, look at that chick there. It's creepy how pale her skin is next to her black hair, isn't it?' * Conversed: "Elvira, don't you know that if you were an anime character, you'd be the creepy girl who ends up murdering her friends? That's why people keep avoiding you." * Exploited: Elvira deliberately goes for this look because looking eerie helps her manipulate others. Back to Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette
