− | + | '''Hair Bun Girl''' is a [[stick figure]] character in [[xkcd]]. She is distinguished by her hair that is set up in a bun. But she can have several different hair styles and sometimes uses glasses see the [[#Gallery|gallery]] below. But the picture here is her most prevalent appearance. | |
− | + | ==Characteristics== | |
+ | Hair Bun Girl is a minor character in xkcd. She appeared two weeks in a row in the spring of 2015 and was recognized as a "new" character at that time, though she had been used several times prior to then. | ||
− | + | She is not the same character from comic to comic. She is mainly just another woman that [[Randall]] can use when he wishes to give a woman a specific characteristic so to set her aside from the more commonly used women [[Megan]] and [[Ponytail]]. Often she is depicted together with both Megan and Ponytail proving this point. (Nine appearances as of February 2016: [[703]], [[708]], [[1052]], [[1253]], [[1504]], [[1507]], [[1601]], [[1637]] and [[1645]].) | |
− | [[ | ||
− | + | *In her first appearance, [[337: Post Office Showdown]], she is drawn with glasses. | |
+ | **She also wears glasses in [[1637: Salt Mine]], [[1110: Click and Drag]], [[1088: Five Years]], [[1052: Every Major's Terrible]], [[835: Tree]] and in [[410: Math Paper]] | ||
+ | ***In [[835: Tree]] she actually portrays Cueball's mother and/or the wife of [[:Category:Multiple Cueballs|another version]] of [[Cueball]]). | ||
+ | ***She wears sunglasses (as Trinity) in [[566: Matrix Revisited]]. | ||
+ | ***In total up to Salt Mine she has used glasses eight times. | ||
+ | *Her first appearance without glasses was in her second appearance: [[378: Real Programmers]]. And with the recent comics (past no. 1500) this is now her most prevalent appearance. | ||
+ | *In [[572: Together]] a woman looking like Hair Bun Girl is obviously Megan who has turned old during the comic, so this is also not included here. But it could indicate that Randall often uses Hair Bun Girl to represent an older woman, as this was also the case in [[586: Mission to Culture]]. | ||
+ | *Since she is a grown woman - she cannot be the small girls in [[1519: Venus]], [[1584: Moments of Inspiration]], or [[1611: Baking Soda and Vinegar]]. | ||
+ | *A character with a hair bun was also featured in [[911: Magic School Bus]], but she is drawn in color and with a dress and represents the fictive character Ms. Frizzle. She is thus not included as a Hair Bun Girl. | ||
+ | *She can, however, represent a real person: | ||
+ | **This occurred when she represented Emily Dickinson in [[788: The Carriage]]. In that comic Emily is drawn exactly as the standard version of Hair bun Girl, and she is thus included. | ||
+ | ***This is similar to Cueball who also represents real persons from time to time. | ||
+ | **In the book [[Thing Explainer]] she is used in the explanation for ''The pieces everything is made of'' (i.e the {{w|periodic table}}) to represent {{w|Marie Curie}}. | ||
+ | *In both [[703: Honor Societies]], [[708: Sex Dice]], [[1520: Degree-Off]], [[1601: Isolation]] and in every instance of her in [[1608: Hoverboard]] her hair looks somewhat different, curly and with some kind of pony tail, but since her main distinguishing characteristic is the hair bun, these comics are included here. | ||
+ | **Her hair looks somewhat the same in [[1645: Toasts]], but without the ponytail appendage. | ||
+ | **Six times in total with different hair. Never also with glasses though. | ||
+ | *This leaves 10 times (after 24 appearances) where she has looked like the picture used on this page. | ||
− | + | ==Gallery== | |
+ | Since Hair Bun girl is depicted in quite many different ways here is a gallery of some of these different appearances: | ||
− | + | [[File:Hair Bun Girl with curly hair and ponytail.png]] [[File:Hair Bun Girl with glasses.png]] [[File:Hair Bun Girl as Emily Dickinson.png]] [[File:Hair Bun Girl with curly hair but no ponytail.png]] [[File:Hair Bun Girl with curly hair and ponytail biologist.png]] | |
