  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Droy asks:

What does pigtails and tsundere has to do with anyway?[]

  • The point is that it adds in more "moe" traits, and therefore is more attractive. One person online mentioned that adding in kitty ears, glasses, and a maid uniform or Sailor Fuku would make the ultimate Zettai Ryouiki.
    • The reason is that Zettai Ryouiki is more commonly seen on Tsundere characters along with the pigtails such as Rin Tohsaka of Fate/stay night. Tsundere characters alternate between hot headed and nice which is a trait that is commonly attributed to cats, which is why adding cat ears is considered moe. I have no idea about the rest though.
  • The idea of of this trope is to highlight innocent sexuality, and pigtails are representative of youth (see Girlish Pigtails), which highlights this further. Not sure about the tsundere aspects, but it may be beacuse tsunderes are very childish, thus further highlighting that innocent, budding sexuality. But take my word with a grain of salt, I'm no anime fan.
  • It may be just a trend/meme started by Rin. Unless, of course, it appeared earlier than that.
