The perfect anime girl could have any hair colors: pink hair or brown hair, or white, but chances are she has purple hair. Variety makes life better in this crazy world. Purple hair is a color that can be anywhere along the spectrum from close to white to darker than black. It’s often reserved for anime characters who have had dark histories but whose hearts are not entirely darkened, yet sometimes it just looks good!
Are you looking for that one anime girl with purple hair you once saw in an anime series? But with the amount of anime you watched, you probably forgot which anime series. Don’t worry, fam, I got you. Here are 10 of the most interesting female anime characters with purple hair:
1. Ritsu – Assassination Classroom
As a sci-fi anime series enthusiast, I’m not surprised that robots are better at taking the life of than humans. Robots like Ritsu; who starts off as a big hunk of metal with an adorable lilac haired screen saver and eventually evolves into a more compact form while also getting severely nerfed, so she can’t really fight anymore, but her role in class is to support the other classmates by being their E-Girl mascot!

2. Konno Yuuki – Sword Art Online
The “legends never die” character, Yuuki, even though she had a terminal illness, refused to bow down. She won countless duels against Kirito in the virtual world and made a name for herself as an excellent duelist. But what’s most impressive about Yuuki? Her mental strength-at only 13 years old, but with so few days left on this earth, she lived life like there was no tomorrow, helping out many people who were also suffering from their own diffi circumstances.
3. Izumi Kyouka – Bungou Stray Dogs
For most of her life, Izumi was an assassin with a grim future. She did whatever she could to survive and protect those that matter the most in her world. What’s more, is how well she plays these parts – it seems as though this will be all too easy for such a little girl! It also helps that she has such lovable personality traits; watching someone give care and attention to Izumi after doing so much on behalf of others makes even the grumpiest person feel warm inside.
4. Touka Kirishima – Tokyo Ghoul
What’s better than a cute little ghoul girl who follows around our protagonist, cackling and cracking jokes? A merciless one that sends shivers down your spine just by hearing her name.

5. Kae Serinuma – Kiss Him, Not Me!
Kae was always a chubby girl, but these days she’s the babe of school. Her transformation came from grieving an anime character, and her heart still pumps otaku blood through her veins.

Dorothy is the captain of Clover Kingdom’s Coral Peacock squad and a member of The Magic Knights.

7. Nana/ Lucy – Elfen Lied
Nana struggles with a life of aggression , but in another world, she would be free to enjoy her youth. The little horns that are the mark of an unavoidable destiny peek out from Nana’s purple hair and make for a cute look until you realize it’s inevitable they’ll bring about more bloodshed.
8. Sheele – Akame ga Kill
Night Raid member Sheele has two sides to her personality as a compassionate and caring person or a ruthless taker of lives. Her kindness can be seen through giving other people, especially those in need of emotional support when they are down on their luck, but don’t let this fool you because she can turn into a psychopath. She is also very clumsy, but it’s weird that with giant scissors in the hands of this clumsy girl, her fingers are still attached, but yours may not.

10. Haqua du Lot Herminium – The World God Only Knows
There’s more to Haqua than her long purple hair. That cloud-like cloth that she wears around the neck is as much of an eye-catcher, especially since it can turn into anything. She’s proud and would rather lose everything before asking someone for help.
