{{Original research}}


* [[Actress]]
This is a list of stereotypical female characters. These [[stock character]]s play off of popular stereotypes of women (e. g. innocence, helplessness, etc.,) or, more recently, attempts to break these stereotypes (e. g. women's rights, feminism, etc.)
* [[Bimbo]]

* [[Black American Princess]]
==Bad Girl/Rebel==
* [[Cinderella]]
The '''Bad Girl/Rebel''' is often an antagonist, the female counterpart of the Bad Boy. The Bad Girl/Rebel is usually a troubled and rebellious [[adolescence|adolescent]] or [[Youth|young adult]], often the [[black sheep]] of the family and a sort of [[Social stigma|outcast]] in school. Her preferences in music, fashion or lifestyle are [[unconventional]] or non-[[mainstream]]. The Bad Girl/Rebel is loud or obnoxious, and is not afraid to stand out in a crowd, an individual who doesn't care much about what anyone else thinks. Examples include:
* [[Damsel in Distress]]
* [[Kaitlin Cooper]] and [[Hailey Nichol]] from ''[[The O.C.]]''
* [[Dominatrix]]
* Margaret "Legs" Sadovsky in ''[[Foxfire (1996 film)|Foxfire]]''
* [[Dumb blonde]]
* Stephanie Zinone from ''[[Grease 2]]''
* [[English Rose]]
* Val from ''[[Beverly Hills, 90210]]''
* [[Feminist]]
* Angel Bright from ''[[Little Darlings]]''
* [[Femme Fatale]]
* Julie Pierce from ''[[The Next Karate Kid]]''
* [[Fishwife]]

* [[Gamine]]
==Outsider==
* [[Girl next door]]
The '''Outsider''' excludes herself from popular social circles and avoids people. Her story is centered around a new life for her and how she gets into trouble with the new society. She is usually the victim of every negative stereotype and rumor, and she doesn't have a social life. But it doesn't matter to her, because she hardly has anything to lose. Examples include:
* [[Girlfriend]]
* [[Alex Kelly (fictional character)|Alex Kelly]] from ''[[The OC]]''
* [[Gold digger]]
* Vanessa Abrams from ''[[Gossip Girl]]''
* [[Daria]]
* [[Gossip]]
* [[Grandmother]]
* Annie Dray from ''[[Big Liar on Campus]]''
* [[Harridan]]
* Janis Ian in ''[[Mean Girls]]''
* [[Heroine]]

* [[Hooker with a heart of gold]]
==Dumb Blonde==
* [[Housewife]]
The '''[[Dumb blonde|Dumb Blonde]]''' or '''[[Bimbo]]''', often also an ''Ingenue'', but may be simply unintelligent but attractive, or a very popular girl in school. Could also be just plain silly/comic relief-such as:
* [[Ingenue (stock character)|Ingénue]]
* [[Brittany Taylor]] in ''[[Daria]]''
* [[It Girl]]
* [[Melody Valentine]] in ''[[Josie and the Pussycats (TV series)|Josie and the Pussycats]]''
* [[Jewish-American Princess]]
* Jillian ([[Brian Griffin]]'s new girlfriend of ''[[Family Guy]]'')
* [[Lady]]
* Olivia Ryan from the [[The Clique Series]]
* [[Women's Land Army|Land girl]]
* Karen Smith in ''[[Mean Girls]]''
* [[Lesbian]]
* Deborah Ann Fimple from ''[[Secret Admirer]]''
* [[Mistress]]

* [[Model]]
Occasionally the Dumb Blonde isn't actually blonde, just dumb. [[Marilyn Monroe]] portrayed this stereotype in a number of movies. In very rare cases the dumb blonde isn't dumb but acts in the fashion of the dumb blonde to avoid being classified as a ''Nerd Girl'' in her social circle.
* [[Mother-in-law]]

* [[Timidity|Mouse]]
==Drama Queen==
* [[Movie star]]
The '''Drama Queen''' is an overly self-centered, popular, vulnerable, and dramatic person. Her sensitive side contrasts with her tendency to be controlling. Examples include:

* [[Nerd Girl]]
* [[Marriage|Newly-wed]]

* [[Nurse]]
==Prep==
* [[Orphan]]
The '''Prep''' is a superficial girl whose biggest preoccupation is with wealth and the appearance of wealth. More often [[White Anglo-Saxon Protestant|WASP]], blue-blooded and from aristocratic family. Her characteristics include particular subcultural speech, vocabulary, accent, dress, mannerisms, etiquette, and entitled life view. More generally, preps attend elite college preparatory schools, often boarding schools. Preppy culture idealizes intelligence, athleticism, sociability and wealth and in fashion the term "preppy" is associated not with dramatic designer fashions, but with classic and conservative clothing and accessory brands. Examples include:
* [[Pantomime dame]]
* Callie from ''[[The It Girl]]''
* [[Princess]]

* [[Prostitute]]
==Popular Girl==
* [[Queen]]
The '''Popular Girl''' is a girl who is well-liked and appreciated at her school, but is often mean and prissy to less popular girls. She is usually very attractive and often has [[sidekick]]s following her everywhere. In recent times, this character type has gained the appellation '''Queen Bee'''. In many high school Cinderella stories, the Popular Girl is the initial love interest of the male lead character--until she reveals her "evil qualities", which is usually midway through the story or near the end. Examples include:
* [[School diva]]
* Linda Barrett in ''[[Fast Times at Ridgemont High]]''
* [[School marm]]

==Ugly Sidekick or Wannabe==
The '''Ugly Sidekick''' or '''Wanna Be''' is a female character that isn't necessarily ''ugly'', but is referred to as such for being ''inferior'' in looks to the Popular Girl. The Ugly Sidekick idolizes and emulates the Popular Girl in manner of speech, dress and attitude. Out of envy and with a goal to someday outrun The Popular Girl in the rat race, the Ugly Sidekick has a tendency to [[Backstabbing|backstab]] her idol. Examples include:
* Kati Farkas and Isabel Coates from ''[[Gossip Girl]]''
* Tiffany from ''[[Odd Girl Out]]''

==Spoiled Princess==
The '''[[Valley Girl]]''' is young, rich, and spoiled but usually sweet and not as mean as the Popular Girl, The "Val" is a typically blonde-haired and tan-skinned (not necessarily a natural blonde), bright eyed Caucasian woman, although many other women of different nationalities are devoted to the trend. The typical style of dress was often garishly loud and colorful—a combination of pastel and neon colors, ruffles and lace. Tutus, leggings and bodysuits were more rare, but represented the extremes of the trend. The 21st century version typically carries such technologies as cell phones, iPods, etc. A typical Valley Girl is usually considered to be attractive and sexually promiscuous. Examples include:
* Cher Horowitz from ''[[Clueless]]''
* [[Caitlin Cooke]] from ''[[6teen]]''
* [[Kelly Taylor (90210)|Kelly Taylor]] in early seasons from ''[[Beverly Hills, 90210]]''.
* [[Paris Hilton]].

The '''[[Jewish-American Princess]]''' (JAP) or '''[[Black American Princess]]''' (Bap). It is referring to a stereotypical spoiled somewhat snobby young, rich, wealthy, materialistic and selfish girl. A pampered female of [[African American]] or [[Jewish American]] descent born to upper-middle- or upper-class families. Her life experiences give her a "sense of entitlement" and she is accustomed to the best and nothing less. Examples include:
* [[Summer Roberts]] from ''[[The O.C.]]''
* Gretchen Wieners from ''[[Mean Girls]]''

==Female Triade==
'''The Female Triad''' is a group of three girls who are mostly seen together. Often used in [[fantasy fiction]] as three women in magic (i.e.: witches, deities, etc.) or at least with different "special abilities", like Dylan, Alex and Natalie in ''[[Charlie's Angels (film)|Charlie's Angels]]'', but may alternatively be three girls who have different tempers that play off each other. They are usually differentiated by distinct hair colours: blonde, brunette and redhead. The [[Three Fates]] and the [[Weird Sisters]] are examples of the former; the Plastics from ''[[Mean Girls]]'', ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' and ''[[Josie and the Pussycats]]'' are examples of the latter. Occasionally qualifies as both, as with the Halliwell Sisters from ''[[Charmed]]''.

==Girl next door==
The '''[[Girl next door]]''' is the archetype of wholesome, unassuming, or "average" femininity and female counterpart to the "[[boy next door]]". Her character is open and straightforward, and her intentions do not need to be concealed. She is seldom much richer or of much higher social status than the protagonist. The girl next door is most likely someone the protagonist has known for most of his (or her) life, but in the past could not appreciate the depth of her feelings because of his age. Examples include:
* [[Mary Jane Watson]] from ''[[Spider-Man]]''
* [[Betty Cooper]] from ''[[Archie Comics]]''
* Judy from ''[[Rebel Without a Cause]]''
* [[Cherry Valance]] from ''[[The Outsiders (film)|The Outsiders]]''
* Toni from ''[[Secret Admirer]]''
* Stephanie Jameson from ''[[Minutemen (film)|Minutemen]]''

==It Girl==
The '''[[It Girl]]''', sometimes a '''[[Girl next door]]''' or simply the girl that everyone wants to be. She has everything that you want so you tend to envy her, however, she isn't mean as a Queen Bee. Her presence is always appreciated, all the guys want her and all the girls want to be her. Although she looks perfect, she's hardly happy and has a lot of issues. Examples include:
* [[Marissa Cooper]] from ''[[The OC]]''
* [[Serena van der Woodsen]] from ''[[Gossip Girl]]''

==Femme Fatale==
The '''[[Femme Fatale]]''', the ''[[vamp (woman)|vamp]],'' ''[[La Belle Dame sans Merci: A Ballad|La belle dame sans merci]]'', the ''Black Widow'', the ''Dragon Lady'' is a beautiful, seductive, but (traditionally) evil woman who leads the hero to his doom. Examples include:
* [[Poison Ivy (comics)|Poison Ivy]] from ''[[Batman]]''
* [[Lady Macbeth (Shakespeare)|Lady Macbeth]]
* the Dragon Lady from ''[[Terry and the Pirates (comic strip)|Terry and the Pirates]]''
* many women in [[film noir]].
*Lust from ''[[Full Metal Alchemist]]''.
*Lorry Dane from [[The Big Town]]

In more modern fiction, femme fatales aren't necessarily evil, but are simply women who use their looks and female charisma to get what they want. More often, they are protagonists, supporters of protagonists, antiheroes, or villains who switch sides, rather than all-out antagonists. Examples include_
* [[Gabrielle Solis]] and [[Edie Britt]] of ''[[Desperate Housewives]]''
* [[Julie Cooper]] from ''[[The O.C.]]''
* [[Catwoman (comics)|Catwoman]]
* Green of ''[[Pokemon]]''
* [[Nami (One Piece)|Nami]] of ''[[One Piece]]''
* [[Angel (Lilo & Stitch)|Angel]] from ''[[Lilo & Stitch: The Series]]''.

==Make Over Girl==
The '''Make Over Girl''' is a female stereotype who is the typical [[ugly duckling]], usually initially ignored, unnoticed or downright ridiculed, at times on account of being ''homely'', but later transforms into a lovely or elegant ''swan''. Examples include:
* Laney Boggs in ''[[She's All That]]''
* Danielle de Barbarac in ''[[Ever After]]''
* Andie Walsh in ''[[Pretty in Pink]]''
* Josie Geller in ''[[Never Been Kissed]]''
* [[Lindsay Lohan]]'s character from ''[[Mean Girls]]''
* Kathleen "Kiki" Harrison in ''[[America's Sweethearts]]''
* Alison from ''[[The Breakfast Club]]''
* Sandra "Sandy" Dumbrowski from ''[[Grease (film)|Grease]]''
* Kara from ''[[The It Girl]]'' series.

==Damsel in Distress==
The '''[[Damsel in Distress]]''' is a young, beautiful, virginal woman and often a '''[[Girly girl]]''' who must be rescued from some cruel fate by the Hero ''à la'':
* [[Penelope Pitstop]]
* [[Daphne Blake]]
* Buttercup in ''[[The Princess Bride (film)|The Princess Bride]]''
* [[Maid Marian]] in ''[[Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves]]''
* [[Princess Peach]]
* [[Tifa Lockhart]]
* [[Rinoa Heartilly]]
* [[Garnet]]
* [[Yuna]]
* Gwendoline in ''[[The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik-Yak]]''

This archetype is now often subverted, with the damsel being secretly formidable and waiting for the right moment to strike back (such as [[Amy Rose]] or [[Princess Fiona]]), or learning to do it as the story advances and she leaves her initially passive attitude, such as:
* [[List of characters in Fire Emblem (video game)#Nils|Ninian]] the Dancer from ''[[Fire Emblem]]''
* [[Yuri Sakazaki]] from ''[[The King of Fighters]]''

==Ingénue==
The '''[[Ingenue (stock character)|Ingénue]]''' is a sweet, beautiful, and virginal maiden, in mental or emotional rather than physical danger, usually a target of ''The Cad''. Usually a [[deer|fawn]]-eyed innocent. Examples include:
* [[Reese Witherspoon]]'s character in ''[[Cruel Intentions]]''
* [[Christine Daaé]] in ''[[The Phantom of the Opera]]''
* [[Dr. Allison Cameron]]—as is once explicitly stated, in fact{{Fact|date=April 2008}}—in ''[[House (TV series)|House, M.D.]]''
* [[Lynn Minmei]] from the ''[[Robotech]]'' and ''[[Macross]]''
* Jemima from the musical "Cats"
* Wendy Beamish from ''[[St. Elmo's Fire]]''

==Adventuress==
The '''Adventuress''' is a female character who takes on an adventure-hero role, especially from periods (such as the Victorian and Edwardian eras) where such activities wouldn't be considered "ladylike". Examples include:
* Kate Reed in ''[[Anno Dracula]]''
* Evelyn Carnahan in ''[[The Mummy (1999 film)|The Mummy]]''
* [[Elizabeth Swann]] of ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean (film)|Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' and its sequels
* ''[[Kim Possible]]''
* [[Maria von Trapp]] in ''[[The Sound of Music]]''
* [[Charley Pollard]] in ''[[Doctor Who]]''

==Cinderella or Pretty Ugly Girl==
'''[[Cinderella]]'' or ''The Pretty Ugly Girl''' is supposed to be somewhat plain-looking, yet is actually quite attractive—the most famous examples being Cinderella herself and [[Mary Ann Summers|Mary Ann]] from ''[[Gilligan's Island]]''. Usually, the girl's mother is either completely absent or is, of course, a '''Wicked Step-Mother'''. Her father is usually distant or uninvolved with her. Often this character is contrasted with someone considered to be the ''Beautiful'' or ''Popular Girl'', such as:
* Samantha Baker from ''[[Sixteen Candles]]''
* Gabriella Montez from ''[[High School Musical]]'' and ''[[High School Musical 2]]''
* Samantha "Sam" Montgomerey from ''[[A Cinderella Story]]''

==Nerd Girl==
The '''[[Nerd Girl]]''' differs from the ''Pretty Ugly Girl'' by being less wholesomely mainstream. She doesn’t dress fashionably and may be intensely interested in some specialized area or notable for her intelligence. Examples include:
* Deb in ''[[Napoleon Dynamite]]'' is a classic Nerd Girl (she wears her hair in an unusual way, dresses in loose, unfashionable clothing and is into photography)
* Darla Simmons in ''[[Martin Mystery]]''
* [[Gadget Hackwrench]] (''[[Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers]]'')
* Diane Snyder in ''[[Ed (TV series)]]''.
* [[Gretchen Grundler]] from [[Recess]]
The Nerd Girl is often kind and goodhearted, and may be quite attractive, or have the potential to be so with some “tidying up” like:
* [[Hermione Granger]] in ''[[Harry Potter]]''
* [[Ami Mizuno]] in ''[[Sailor Moon]]''

Like the Pretty Ugly Girl, she is explicitly contrasted with the beautiful but shallow popular girl.

==Nurse==
The '''[[Nurse]]''' is typically a woman who finds the hero or villain injured, and nurses him back to health. She falls in love with him, but will never have her love returned because of his love for another or his plans for conquest. Examples include_
* [[Amagi Mikaru|Michal Amagi]] from ''[[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch Pure]]''
* Hannah from ''[[The English Patient (film)|The English Patient]]''
* [[Éowyn]] in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' (at least in the film adaptation) also bears similarities to this character type towards Aragorn.

==Tomboy==
The '''[[Tomboy]]''' is a female character who is “one of the guys”, the Tomboy is generally "independent" and displays superior physical or athletic prowess and/or is able to relate more with ''males'' in terms of interests. Because of her attitude, interests or activities, the Tomboy is sometimes, though not always, a Pretty Ugly Girl. The Tomboy exhibits a deep-seated or transient envy of more feminine girls, usually when confronted by a boy she likes; others try to find a balance between their boyishness and some degree of femininity, with varying results. Examples include_
* [[Holly Short]] in the ''[[Artemis Fowl (series)|Artemis Fowl]]'' series
* Katarina "Kat" Stratford in ''[[10 Things I Hate About You]]''
* Ashley Spinelli from ''[[Recess (TV series)|Recess]]''
* [[Éowyn]] from ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''
* [[Motoko Aoyama]] and [[Naru Narusegawa]] from ''[[Love Hina]]''
* [[Akane Tendo]] from ''[[Ranma 1/2]]''
* [[Makoto Kino]] from ''[[Sailor Moon]]''
* [[An Tachibana]] and Miyuki Chitose from ''[[Prince of Tennis]]''
* Pepper in ''[[Good Omens]]''
* [[Faris Scherwiz]] of ''[[Final Fantasy V]]''
* [[Julie-Su]] from the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie comic)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' comics by [[Archie Comics]]
* [[Tex (Red vs. Blue)|Tex]] in ''[[Red vs Blue]]'' could be considered an exaggeration of this archetype.
* [[Buttercup]] from [[The Powerpuff Girls]]
* [["Moose" Pearson]] from [[Pepper Ann]]

==Hooker with a Heart of Gold==
The '''[[Hooker with a heart of gold|Hooker With a Heart of Gold]]''' or ''Tart with a heart'' is a young, attractive [[sex worker]] who, despite her lowly status in life, is a world-wise and compassionate person. Examples include:
* Vivian Ward from ''[[Pretty Woman (film)|Pretty Woman]]''
* Belle Watling in ''[[Gone with the Wind (film)|Gone with the Wind]]''
* [[Karen Kasumi]] from the ''[[x (manga)|X]]'' manga
* [[Nancy 'Sikes']] from ''[[Oliver Twist]]''
* Divina from ''[[Running Scared (2006 film)|Running Scared]]''

==Warrior Heroine==
The '''Warrior Heroine''' is a female hero who has many characteristics of traditional male [[List of heroic stock characters|heroic stock characters]]. The Warrior Heroine is sometimes prejudiced in her line of work by [[misogynist]] male characters, but always manages to come out on top. Many Warrior Heroines are Adventuresses. Some are also Femme Fatales or Tomboys, but do not necessarily have to be either. If the Warrior Heroine is of royalty, she is also a [[Warrior princess]]. Examples include:
* Shampoo from ''[[Ranma 1/2]]''.
* [[Leiji Matsumoto]]'s ''[[Queen Emeraldas]]''.
* [[Xena]]

Sometimes, if caught in a turn of events, this warrior heroine will leave her wild, spiteful, cold ways if rescued by a handsome/main character/newly introduced male and transform into a loyal, loving Barbie doll for her new crush. '''Shampoo''' from ''Ranma 1/2'' again is an excellent example for this, but another great example is the Native American Princess "'''Tiger Lily'''" from J.M. Barrie's [the author] & Disney's version of ''Peter Pan''.

==Motor-mouth==
The '''Motor-mouth''' is a female character who just doesn't know when to shut up, hold her silence or keep a secret, regardless of whatever harm that could befall her or her companions. Either for truth be known, uncontrollable urge, wanting to gain the approval of a certain person or group, or simply because they want to, these women will not simply put a lid on it. Examples include:
* Doreen Sears from ''[[Hard Rain (film)|Hard Rain]]''
* [[Taylor Townsend]] from ''[[The O.C.]]''
* [[Dodie Bishop]] in ''[[As Told By Ginger]]''

==Defensive Hopeless Romantic==
'''The Defensive Hopeless Romantic''', as a lead character in a [[Romantic comedy film|Romantic Comedy]] context, is usually an attractive female that ''supposedly'' does not believe in [[love|true love]], usually from being left heartbroken many times. Some Defensive Hopeless Romantics are players, some are single, and some are just plain man-haters, as a means of defense against any more emotional pain associated with a relationship--that is, until they meet their match. Examples include:
* Christina Walters in ''[[The Sweetest Thing]]''
*Katarina "Kat" Stratford in ''[[10 Things I Hate About You]]''
* Andie Anderson in ''[[How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days]]''
* Katherine Minola in ''[[The Taming of the Shrew]]''

==California Girl==
The '''California Girl''' is usually a sun-streaked blonde-haired, tanned, light-eyed girl who only eats health food and loves the environment more than anything else. Examples include:
* Dawn Schafer from ''[[The Baby-sitters Club]]'' series
* [[Marzipan (Homestar Runner)|Marzipan]] from ''[[Homestar Runner]]''
* [[Josie and the Pussycats (comic)#Melody Valentine|Melody Valentine]] from ''[[Josie and the Pussycats (comic)|Josie and the Pussycats]]''
* Sara Connors from ''[[Super Sweet 16: The Movie]]''
* Layla Wiliams from ''[[Sky High (2005 film)|Sky High]]''

This is in contrast to [[Valley girl]]s.

==Inga from Sweden==
'''Inga from Sweden''', often named Inga or Ulla, is a blonde, tall beautiful girl from [[Sweden]]. This comes from the myth that Sweden is a [[Sexual revolution#Explicit sex on screen|country of sin and free sexuality]]. Examples include_
* [[Ulla (The Producers)|Ulla]] from ''[[The Producers (1968 film)|The Producers]]''
* Inga ([[Victoria Silvstedt]]) in the movie ''[[Boat Trip]]''
