I had never realized how difficult it is to find anime girls who have legitimately white hair until I started researching this topic. Before we get started, a disclaimer: this list contains anime girls with strictly white hair, confirmed by multiple pictures and sources. I excluded silver-haired girls or girls with mixed hair, like Shiro who has multi-colored hair, or Frieren who has silver hair.
I know that it has not been even a few days since I published a post about top anime girls with blonde hair, and here we have another list. This time, it’ll be a list of white-haired anime girls!
I probably mentioned somewhere before that I really love white hair on anime characters, whether it’s a girl or a boy. It’s refreshing and cute, and I wish I had white hair in real life, but that requires a lot of bleaching and I really don’t want to damage my hair, so… I’ll have to keep myself satisfied by identifying with some cute white-haired anime girl (for now).
I tried to make it a bit representative by considering the character popularity list on MAL, but I also mixed in my own opinions.
These are the 10 best anime girls with white hair.
10. Chaika Trabant
- Anime: Hitsugime no Chaika
- Species: Human
- Age: 14
Chaika is a wizard who carries a giant coffin around her at all times. She strongly dislikes the use of violence and is a kind-hearted and empathic young girl who will help allies and enemies like-wise. This naivety and kindness have shown to be often dangerous.
Her quest is to gather the scattered remains of her father, the former Emperor Gaz, who was slain in a war. These remains, in the form of magical artifacts called “Gundo,” hold great power and significance. By collecting them, Chaika hopes to fulfill her mission and uncover the truth about her past.
9. Noire (Black Heart)
- Anime: Hyperdimension Neptunia
- Species: Goddess
- Age: Unknown
Noire, also known as Black Heart, is a character from the “Hyperdimension Neptunia” series. She represents the fictional gaming console, PlayStation, in the world of Gamindustri.
Noire is often depicted as serious and hardworking, with a strong sense of responsibility as the CPU (Console Patron Unit) of Lastation, one of the game’s nations. Despite her serious demeanor, she can also be a bit clumsy and has a softer side, especially when it comes to her friends and fellow CPUs.
8. Shiro
- Anime: Deadman Wonderland
- Species: Human
- Age: 14-15
This cute albino girl has an extremely tragic backstory behind her beautiful red eyes. The traumatic experiments she endured throughout her childhood made her the first Deadman and caused her a lot of physical and mental pain.
Despite the excruciating pain she has had to endure her whole life, she still appears bubbly and energetic, mainly around Ganta (the main character of the series). She acts as his guardian and wants him to be happy more than anything.
7. Orphelia Landlufen
- Anime: Gakusen Toshi Asterisk
- Species: Strega/ Genestellar
- Age: 17
Orphelia certainly looks beautiful with her long white hair, bleak expression, and horns. This look mirrors something much darker and traumatic – her hair turned white after a series of experiments conducted on her while she was a child, and despite being a fatalist now, she used to be a very kind and playful girl as a child.
She also became a Strega and a Genestellar after the experiments (basically a new, higher race of humans).
6. Lissana Strauss
- Anime: Fairy Tail
- Species: Human
- Age: 17
The first of two Fairy Tail characters (who are also siblings) has arrived! While she doesn’t have as extensive powers as her sister Mirajane, she is still a capable mage. Her main ability is called Animal Soul, which allows her to take on the forms and abilities of different animals. This includes creatures like birds, fish, and even mythical beings like a winged snake. She can also communicate with animals and has a strong bond with them.
Lisanna’s past is quite due to her separation from her siblings. However, she is a very outgoing and friendly girl who can easily make friends. In her past, she freaked out Natsu (the main character of Fairy Tail) by joking about becoming his wife someday.
5. Kanna
- Anime: InuYasha
- Species: Nothing yokai
- Age: 10 years (physically)
Kanna is a reincarnation of Naraku (the main antagonist of the series) with only one purpose: to destroy Tessaiga (a powerful yokai sword). Despite being a void, she still has her own emotions and sadness that could not be expressed.
The story of Kanna only gets darker from there, after she begins to question her own existence while unable to do much about it, only to end up sacrificing herself as the last act of her own decision-making and will.
4. Mirajane Strauss
- Anime: Fairy Tail
- Species: Human
- Age: 19
Mirajane has the angel look, doesn’t she? A powerful S-Class mage, she is exceptionally strong and skilled in combat. She specializes in Transformation Magic, which lets her change her appearance and adopt the abilities of demons. Through her “Satan Soul” transformations, she gains increased strength, speed, and magical abilities by tapping into powerful demon energies.
Mirajane is an absolute angel in her normal, human form, looks, and personality like-wise. When turned into her demon form, her looks might change but her personality stays the same. Mirajane will always protect what is dear to her, no matter the cost.
3. Neferpitou
- Anime: Hunter x Hunter
- Species: Chimera Ant
- Age: ~60 d/o
Neferpitou might look like a cute cat humanoid, but she is actually a Royal Guard of the King of Chimera Ants. As a Royal Guard, it’s only natural that she is incredibly OP, possibly one of the strongest characters in the series. On top of that, she is quick-witted and possesses lightning-fast reflexes.
Her utter devotion to Meruem (the King of Chimera Ants) is shown multiple times throughout the series. However, her loyalty is not devoid of individuality. Just like any kitty, she is intelligent and curious.
2. Koneko Toujou
- Anime: Highschool DxD
- Species: Reincarnated Devil
- Age: 15 years old
Koneko is a low-ranked devil, student, and member of the Occult Research Club, famous for the presence of Rias Gremory.
She barely shows any emotions and maintains a cold attitude, but inside she cares deeply about her comrades and does not hesitate to lend them her strength if needed.
All in all, her kitty-like appearance paired with her serious personality makes her a fan-favorite.
1. Nanachi
- Anime: Made in Abyss
- Species: Narehate
- Age: in her 20s
The first place on this list of the best anime girls with white hair goes to no one else than Nanachi. While it’s unknown whether Nanachi is a girl, since some translations have opted to refer to Nanachi as female, I included them in this list. Unfortunately, this fluffy cutie doesn’t make it to the top waifu list.
Nanachi are a rabbit-like creature who live in a dangerous place called the Abyss. I classified Nanachi as a girl Nanachi are good at surviving there and know a lot about its creatures. They help the main characters, Riko and Reg, on their journey through the Abyss.
However, don’t let their looks fool you: despite her fluffy, rabbit-like cute looks she has an immensely dark past. Even though they have had it rough, Nanachi are a very gentle and selfless soul.
Which white hair anime girl do you stan the most?
