I keep noticing light/dark hair duos either in protagonist/antagonist pairs or protagonist/deuteragonist pairs. The blonde is always the stoic, logical, distant, sometimes “ethereal” one, while the dark-haired one is more emotional, rougher in appearance and more empathetic. The blonde is closer to an “ideal” while the brunette is closer to “human nature”. Occasionally they’re accompanied by a third, usually female character that fits the balance between.
