Icy Blondes
According with the color palette for hair (see more about that in the page about colors), blond characters are considered very beautiful. However, they are also usually known for being extremely cold and apparently lacking of feelings, but this is actually nothing but a façade for their sensitive, anguished personality.
By stunning everybody with their extremely arrogant attitude and an apparent iron-grip on their behavior, they try to keep people off and close themselves in a private world, in which they do not have to face their seemingly impotence before all the injustice and suffering they see in the "real world".
Physically, apart from the hair color (that is usually at least long enough for a ponytail), these characters have in common their blue or green eyes and a lean, well-shaped body, often displaying well built muscles, since they feel they must always prepared to face anything. They have calm, sure voices and only raise it when they are pushed beyond their limits, which usually takes a lot to happen. When cornered, they usually show a strong tendency to self-sacrifice, which suggests a low self-esteem, maybe because of the constant need to prove they are something more than a "pretty face".

Sechs (Gundam Wing), Hyouga (Saint Seiya), Rafaga (Magic Knight Rayearth), Tsume (Wolf's Rain), Orpheus (Meine Liebe)

(P.S.: Although it is written "Zechs" on the picture, the correct form would be "Sechs", that means "six" in German. Most character names in Gundam Wing are numbers in several languages. Besides that, Tsume isn't exactly blond, but he sure is icy... I haven't seen the kanji for his name, but tsumetai is the Japanese word for "icy cold"...).
