History Main / Fangirl

* ''Anime/DemashitaPowerpuffGirlsZ'': Momoko (Blossom) has a triple dose of this:
## Food (especially sweets),
## Sentai and other heroes (Yeah, not so much JumpedAtTheCall as [[TheGlomp Glomped The Call]] [[AndCallHimGeorge And Never Let Go]]), an obsession she shares with her little sister, and
## Damn near every cute boy in the Tokyo area.

* Yumi from ''LightNovel/MariaSamaGaMiteru'' gathers quite an extensive group of fangirls in the course of the series. She is the undisputable center of attention during the tea party she and Yoshino organize to find a suitable soer--much to Yoshino's chagrin.

* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'': Amy combines this trope with StalkerWithACrush and [[HyperspaceMallet a big ass hammer.]] She thinks Sonic is the coolest thing ever and is bound and determined to make him her boyfriend, even if she has to drag him kicking and screaming. Problem is, she has to ''[[SuperSpeed catch him]]'' first.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Ninjago}}'' a group of [[{{Adorkable}} Za]][[RidiculouslyHumanRobots ne]]-fangirls (and a Fanboy) showed up briefly.

* Fans have theorized that [=GoGo=] Tomago from ''Disney/BigHero6'' is a mild ComicBook/CaptainAmerica fangirl due to her noble personality and natural ability to throw flat circular objects.

* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Akiko is [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2012-02-13 like]] [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2012-02-27 this]] toward [[Disney/{{Tangled}} Rapunzel]].

-> ''EEEEEEEEEEEEE​EEEEEEEEEEEEE​EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE​EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!''

-> ''[[{{Squee}} EEEEEEEEEEEEE​EEEEEEEEEEEEE​EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE​EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!]]''

It is not always a pejorative term but it can be among people who don't "get" a particular fandom. Most folks today use the term to mean nothing more than a female {{nerd}}. Someone describing herself as a fangirl is usually expressing an enthusiasm for the subject.

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'': Gary Oak has his very own cheerleading section, who's only purpose is to accompany him on his Pokemon journey and cheer about how great he is... and [[RunningGag "occasionally"]] mention that [[DudeWheresMyRespect Ash sucks compared to him.]]
* Renge in ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' is a very educated FanGirl. Of course she spends more time criticizing and advising the members of the Club than fangirling them, but when she ''fangirls'' she does it '''big'''.

* Subaru of ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'' is the titular character's personal fangirl. Half of her spells are named after Nanoha's and in the [[AllThereInTheManual supplementary manga chapters set before the third season]], she carries around a magazine clipping of Nanoha on her person at all times. It may have something to do with the small fact that Nanoha saved her life when she was 11...

** Ayaka runs the line between being a Negi fangirl and being a paedophile. Most of the class thinks its the second.
* Kallen is Zero's biggest fangirl throughout most of ''Anime/CodeGeass'', complete with a BodyguardCrush when Lelouch sees the true value of her devotion and puts her in charge of his personal defense.

* Yumi from ''LightNovel/MariaSamaGaMiteru'' gathers quite an extensive group of fan girls in the course of the series. She is the undisputable center of attention during the tea party she and Yoshino organize to find a suitable soer--much to Yoshino's chagrin.
* Kanade from ''Anime/CandyBoy'' has her own personal fan girl in Sakuya. She doesn't seem too happy about most of the time, but she also doesn't really try to get rid of her, turning poor Sakuya into a HopelessSuitor.

* There's a couple of {{loony fan}}girls played for laughs in ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack''. This is due to the fact that the protagonist is a weapons-grade ChickMagnet; the fangirl in the OVA was also [[BunnyEarsLawyer smart enough to recognize]] that the cute guy was the one who had saved her the other day (even if her logic was a bit...[[FemaleGaze unique]]), leading to outright StalkerWithACrush behavior.
* Excel of ''Manga/ExcelSaga'' is willing to take a bullet for her leader, Il Palazzo. Several bullets, in fact. And an antitank rocket. All fired by him.

* In ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'', Jack has Carly, Mikage/Mina and Stephanie. The three of them don't like each other.

* Ai Haibara of ''Manga/DetectiveConan'' is this towards athlete Ryusuke Higo. At first she just claims to admire him because his situation bore similarities to her own, but over time it becomes more evident that whenever he's involved, all of her [[TeenGenius common sense and intelligence]] takes a hike and makes way for the fangirl within.

** Lastly, Mikoto Ishino, who this time is a fangirl to IdolSinger Sala Manda, and absolutely gushes when she realizes that she met and even got to touch Sala.
* In ''Anime/BattleSpiritsShonenToppaBashin'', Meganeko is huge fangirl of [[IdolSinger My Sunshine]] and is certainly overjoyed when they're able to become friends.
* Laila of ''Anime/BattleSpiritsSaikyoGingaUltimateZero'' is a crazy fan of the space pirate Eris, to the point where is seems like she [[LesYay has a crush on her.]]

** Miko is a big fan of real-life actor and Idol Singer Sho Hirano, with the joke being that [[ShipTease he resembles Ishigami]]. She gets really excited after finding out that [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall he'll be playing the lead role in the live action adaptation of a seinin series that Shirogane and Ishigami read]].

** Nara from the VideoGame/{{Myst}} OFU, who calls for "Eedrah my love" in his wife's presence, and later writes a FanFic that brings a CharacterReplacement into being.

* ''Fanfic/TheSomewhatCrackedMindOfUchihaItachi'': Samehada ''hates'' them, which is a problem because most female Academy students were fan girls. Sakura and Ino even originally joined the summer camp as fan girls of Sasuke, only to break out of that mindset as they came to know Sasuke as a person along with being influenced to focus on their ninja careers more.
* ''Fanfic/YetAgainWithALittleExtraHelp'': Fan girls are a great source of humor in this fic. Along with being both Scabbard's BerserkButton and greatest fear, they are the bane of Sasuke's existence. He faints at the idea of them ever learning the shadow clone jutsu, and both him and Itachi are utterly terrified of their horrific, YaoiFangirl evolution. During the TimeSkip, Sasuke eventually had to resort to wearing a mask a la Kakashi-style; the last time he took it off, there was a massive fan girl ''riot'' outside his home.

* ''Webcomic/RWBYCherish'': Ruby's deceased mother Summer was a famous celebrity. Ruby is a fangirl of her mother and owns a lot of her merch. This is both due to admiration and a desire to better understand the mother she barely knew.

* In ''Film/{{Colette}}'', Willy assumes that the first Claudine novel will mostly sell to men, thanks to its erotic elements. However, it really takes off with young women who identify with the lead character, and he finds that he and Colette have quite a fangirl following -- some of whom become significant characters in the film.

* In the ''Literature/VillageTales'' series, the Duke's teenaged niece Hetty (Henrietta Maria) has but two interests. The [[AllGirlsLikePonies non-equine one]] is her being a massive [[Music/OneDirection One Direction]] {{Fangirl}}. And she regards some of the locals at home as being near-avatars thereof with a decade's maturation: which is why she's a ShipperOnDeck for the Rector and the Deputy Headmaster in the Woolfonts (she is after all a lampshaded InUniverse Ziam shipper). It's become an InUniverse RunningGag.
* ''Literature/{{Nightside}}'': Some of the lesser Beings on the Street of the Gods don't really have "religions" so much as "fandoms", and one of the Beings [[spoiler: whom Lilith destroys personally]] was revered entirely by young teenage girls.

* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' added an in-show fangirl Becky Rosen, who meets Sam and Dean in the first episode of season 5 and in the 9th episode of season 5, is a crazed fangirl who epitomizes the fangirl role as she can't seem to contain her excitement or stop touching Sam. And in one episode she even [[spoiler: gave him a love potion, married him while he had it in him, took his pants, tied him to a bed, and almost went as far to sell her soul for more of the drug.]]

** Detective Kate Beckett is a devoted fan of the novels of Richard Castle, and has been since before she met him. Since after meeting him he has exasperated and infuriated her in equal measure by tagging along on her investigations, she would rather die than have him find out. As such, she's something of an aversion in that she manages to restrain any squeeing urges she might have remarkably well; this is primarily to avoid giving Castle the satisfaction, however, and they have been in danger of slipping out on occasion. It's all for naught, however, since Castle knows full well that she's a fangirl anyway and eagerly teases / flirts with her based on it regardless ([[{{UST}} not that he needs the excuse]]).
** Some years ago, Kate was also a serious fan of a sci-fi show that was canceled after one season. She even used to go to conventions and do cos-play. The whole episode is also a hilarious meta-nod to ''Series/{{Firefly}}''.
* The webshow within a show of ''Series/ICarly'' has an obsessed and annoying fangirl named Mandy.

* ''Series/DoctorWho'' has presented us with a number of examples. Recent ones include:
** Osgood (to the extent that she actually ''cosplays as the the Doctor'').
** O'Donnell ("Under the Lake" and "Before the Flood") who literally has a squee moment when she first meets the Doctor and displays detailed knowledge of his exploits.

* PlayedForDrama after The Crush Gals after they had been kicked out of Wrestling/AllJapanWomensProWrestling for being too old. Chigusa Nagayo formed GAEA in response, a haven for all the "old" wrestlers but also admitted several aspiring wrestlers who had been fans of the Crush Gals. Wrestling/LionessAsuka, Nagayo's partner, didn't like that and formed Super Star Unit for the purpose of taking over the company and putting out all the young ones who had been her fans.

* Payton Banks, who debuted for [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]] in the crowd cheering on Wrestling/BobbyRoode, and hated his official valet Traci Brooks. Banks would end up looking more and more like Ms Brooks after Roode fired her and hired Banks as her replacement, but that was seemingly part of her desire to please Roode.

* Sassy Stephie, who can be seen in such enterprises as Wrestling/{{SHIMMER}} and Wrestling/{{WSU}}, is a really obvious one to Wrestling/SherriMartel, frequently referencing her in makeup, face paint and outfits.
* Sara Del Rey had her own fan girls in [[Wrestling/HaniaTheHowlingHuntress Saturyne]] and [[Wrestling/{{Rosemary}} Courtney Rush]], the latter being the only wrestler who wanted to be Del Rey's friend in SHIMMER after she actively alienated the entire roster, in spite of Del Rey's repeated attempts to make her piss off. And like any proud fan girl, Rush was knowledgeable enough about the subject to successfully con Del Rey into being her TagTeam partner!
* Wrestling/TheBeautifulPeople, fan girls to Sarah Palin's husband ([[Wrestling/BillyGunn Cute Kip]] being the exception). Wrestling/TaylorWilde, Wrestling/DaffneyUnger and Roxxi Laveaux took advantage of this to prank founding members Wrestling/AngelinaLove and Wrestling/VelvetSky.

* [[Wrestling/{{Paige}} Britani Knight]] was another Home Wrecking Crew fan girl, in her case the catalyst being "Coventry's Loudest" Jetta. When a heckling fan called her a "Jetta wannabe", Knight said "[[InsultBackfire thank you]]"!

* ''Roleplay/WeAreOurAvatars'': Though normally stoic, Caroline Parton/[[PhysicalGod Athena]] gets a fangasm whenever a {{Bishounen}} from a video game she likes comes into the picture. She immediately asks for their autographs and/or gives them a hug.

* ''VideoGame/BetrayalAtKrondor'' has the resident stoic badass Gorath run into a "an admirer" who's immediately all over him, causing him to do what anyone would do - ''flee''.
* It's hard to tell if the fangirls in the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' prequel ''VideoGame/CrisisCore'' are a show of affection or not. They obsess over the four First Class [=SOLDIERs=] in the game - making fanclubs, sending e-mails about insipid details, and even arguing amongst themselves - just as their real life counter-parts do. There is even a side-quest that involves helping them which directly influences the final number of members in Zack's own fanclub.

* In ''VideoGame/TheLastStory'' after a sidequest you'll get a few of them, with a fanclub...

* ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Street Fighter Alpha 2]]'': Sakura is [[TheProtagonistIsRyu Ryu's]] no.1 fan and self-appointed apprentice. Going so far as to emulate his fighting style, including wearing a headband identical to his own. When she finally caught up to him and asked Ryu to train her, he refused, citing he was still in the midst of his own training. However, he didn't leave her empty-handed. Ryu gave her his old wrist guards as a parting gift and told her to seek him out again once she had gained true strength and found her reason to fight. Sakura has never taken them off since.
* ''[[VideoGame/AdvancedVariableGeo Advanced V.G. II]]'' plays the trope straight and for laughs with Tamao's [[HeroWorshipper hero worship]] of Yuka. Tamao sees Yuka as her role model, who she affectionately refers to [[CoolBigSis as "sempai"]], and entered the VG Tournament so she could meet her. The cutscene preceding her match with Yuuki even shows that Tamao literally has a Yuka T-shirt, a ballcap and jersey with Yuka's logo, and fan posters of her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1-gCrAwNZc (seen at 0:32-0:43)!]]

* In ''VideoGame/{{Solatorobo}}'', if Red becomes a prize fighter, he'll get a fangirl named Toffee who almost confesses love to him before finding out that he's not the independent badass she thought he was. She later gets over it and starts crushing on him again -- but by this point, she's made a name for herself and the move upsets her fan''boys''.

* In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'', [[LadyOfWar Cassandra]], of all people, is revealed to be a hopeless fangirl of Varric's novels, especially of ''[[ShowWithinAShow Swords & Shields]]'', a rather smutty series that Varric considers his greatest failure as a writer. She started reading them after his autobiographic ''Tale of the Champion'' -- [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial ostensibly in hopes of finding more clues to Hawke's whereabouts]]. When truth comes to light, Cassandra first goes in full {{tsun|dere}}tsun mode about her GuiltyPleasures, and then starts to pester Varric about him making her favorite characters' life into utter hell. She also turns out to be one to Hawke, asking Varric if Hawke ever gives autographs and wondering if s/he'd be willing to sign her copy of ''Tale of the Champion''. A DLC later shows her to be a fangirl of Varric in general, as when he gets around to writing memoirs about the inquisition, her reaction to finding out he wrote her as tearfully begging his forgiveness is to {{Squee}} about having been included in his book.

* Rena of ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' goes nuts over anything she thinks is cute (whether or not it actually ''is'' cute), always announcing her intention to [[ImTakingHerHomeWithMe take said object of her affection home]]. In ''Kai'', the perpetually stoned-looking Takano [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbgxnQ5O5CQ reveals her terrifying fangirl side]] over the dark legends of Oyashiro-sama.
* Chris in ''VisualNovel/MajiDeWatashiNiKoiShinasai'' is a huge JidaiGeki fan, and in particularly loves the [[ShowWithinAShow Show Within A Game]] Yamato-maru Nikki series, a common interest she shares with Yamato. Yamato himself can also be described as a ''hermit crab'' fanboy.

* In ''VisualNovel/SpiritHunterNG'', the Kijima sisters both become huge fans of the children's horror author Yakumo Miroku. Natsumi was motivated to become a horror novelist herself because of him, while Satomi became his housekeeper [[spoiler:and conceived his child.]] Neither of them were aware that he was so good at writing horror because [[spoiler:he himself committed horrific acts of surgical BodyHorror on girls that he kidnapped.]]

* [[spoiler: Kanaya]] is this towards [[spoiler: Rose]] in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', having [[spoiler: read her walkthrough]]. Suffered a mild case of WartsAndAll after actually chatting, but is apparently getting over it very quickly now.

* ''WebComic/MagickChicks'': Nearly the entire student body at [[AllGirlSchool Artemis Academy]] are fans of their student council president, [[SmugSuper Faith]] [[LovableAlphaBitch Abbot]], and her boyfriend, [[LovableRogue Ash]], despite the fact that he's the alpha from the competing school. So when they saw the two of them were about to go head-to-head, [[http://www.magickchicks.com/strips-mc/you_have_improved they fangasmd.]]
* In ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'' fandom opinion is divided whether Missi is simply an over eager fangirl about Ash or a creepy StalkerWithACrush.
* In ''Webcomic/NipAndTuck'', [[http://www.rhjunior.com/NT/00641.html denying the impact on your life is weakened when a fan girl goes squee over you.]]

* A truly terrifying example exists in ''Webcomic/AndShineHeavenNow''. Around once a year the ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' characters get glomped by numerous chibi-fangirls who {{squee}} as they fly though the air and rant about how cool a character is after latching on. Even worse than this though is that the fangirls can also ''force people to act out their ships''. In a recent storyline, the Major (a fanboy of War himself) turns this to his advantage. [[spoiler:He gives a version of his 'I Love War' speech chock full of fandom terms to subdue the fangirls]].

* Iphigenie in ''Literature/GreekNinja'' is a big one. She fawns over any guy that is officially hot (and even unofficially hot.)

* Despite the fact that Fangirls make up a major part of the site, Website/GaiaOnline felt the need to mock fangirls in their lost Rejected Olympics Manga. The main event? ''Escape The Fan'', in which a rabid fangirl is released from a box to chase down a FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire and an attractive (and female) Dark Elf. GratuitousJapanese and hilarity ensues, culminating with the fangirl getting a nosebleed during an attempted (same sex) KissOfTheVampire, and crying about her OTP when said kiss is interrupted.
* In the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'', [[SuperheroSchool high school]] girl [[TheFairFolk Fey]] has her own fan club chock full of fangirls who are ''also'' superpowered mutants. Not only does this mortify her, but her friends tease her about it.

** And then there's Hyper Fangirl, a representation of [[RealitySubtext Doug's own fangirls who creep on him at cons.]]

* Sierra from season three of ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' is, as the series puts it, an "Uber-fan", she mentions that she's created fansites for each and every character and knows their eatings habits, hopes and fears and even their ''dental records.'' Needless to say, she creeps everyone out, ''especially'' Cody.

* ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Street Fighter Alpha 2]]'': Sakura is [[TheProtagonist Ryu's]] no.1 fan and self-appointed apprentice. Going so far as to emulate his fighting style, including wearing a headband identical to his own. When she finally caught up to him and asked Ryu to train her, he refused, citing he was still in the midst of his own training. However, he didn't leave her empty-handed. Ryu gave her his old wrist guards as a parting gift and told her to seek him out again once she had gained true strength and found her reason to fight. Sakura has never taken them off since.
* ''[[VideoGame/AdvancedVariableGeo Advanced V.G. II]]'' plays the trope straight and for laughs with Tamao's [[HeroWorshipper hero worship]] of [[TheProtagonist Yuka.]] Tamao sees Yuka as her role model, who she affectionately refers to [[CoolBigSis as "sempai"]], and entered the VG Tournament so she could meet her. The cutscene preceding her match with Yuuki even shows that Tamao literally has a Yuka T-shirt, a ballcap and jersey with Yuka's logo, and fan posters of her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1-gCrAwNZc (seen at 0:32-0:43)!]]

** Consummate geek Jason Fox loved the first two ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' movies. ''Return of the King'' was less enjoyable; the difference being that his teen sister Paige was now an Orlando Bloom fangirl.

* Played for laughs in ''VisualNovel/HalloweenOtome'' when fangirls coo about [[spoiler: Tyger, Mr. Wolf’s stage name]] without knowing that he’s nearby.

* In the series ''WebSeries/MGTSchool'', Rasta was like to Seira. She had [[WingdingEyes heart eyes]] when Seira came by, jumped up eagerly, and got excited when Seira knew her name. [[spoiler:She stopped being a fangirl when she realized that Seira is a cold-hearted monster]].
** Creamy Chan from [[Recap/MGTSchoolEpisode11FanFreak "Fan Freak"]] is also a huge fangirl to Akira, refers to her as "Akira-senpai", and even follows Akira around.

** In ''Film/TheLastNarutoTheMovie'', Naruto has become famous after winning the war and has gained a very large female fan base, being fawned over immensely and receiving countless gifts from his many female admirers during the Rinne Festival. However, he is far more interested in his childhood secret admirer Hinata, since she liked him before he became famous.

* ''FanFic/TheSomewhatCrackedMindOfUchihaItachi'': Samehada ''hates'' them, which is a problem because most female Academy students were fan girls. Sakura and Ino even originally joined the summer camp as fan girls of Sasuke, only to break out of that mindset as they came to know Sasuke as a person along with being influenced to focus on their ninja careers more.
* ''FanFic/YetAgain'': Fan girls are a great source of humor in this fic. Along with being both Scabbard's BerserkButton and greatest fear, they are the bane of Sasuke's existence. He faints at the idea of them ever learning the shadow clone jutsu, and both him and Itachi are utterly terrified of their horrific, YaoiFangirl evolution. During the TimeSkip, Sasuke eventually had to resort to wearing a mask a la Kakashi-style; the last time he took it off, there was a massive fan girl ''riot'' outside his home.

* ''[[VideoGame/AdvancedVariableGeo Advanced V.G. II]]'' plays the trope straight and for laughs with Tamao's [[HeroWorshipper hero worship]] of [[TheProtagonist Yuka.]] Tamao sees Yuka as her role model, who she affectionately refers to [[CoolBigSis as "sempai"]], and entered the VG Tournament so she could meet her. The cutscene preceding her match with Yuuki even shows that Tamao [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments literally has a Yuka T-shirt, a ballcap and jersey with Yuka's logo]], and fan posters of her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1-gCrAwNZc (seen at 0:32-0:43)!]]

* ''Webcomic/RWBYVisions'': Ruby's deceased mother Summer was a famous celebrity. Ruby is a fangirl of her mother and owns a lot of her merch. This is both due to admiration and a desire to better understand the mother she barely knew.

-> ''[[{{Squee}} EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!]]''

* In ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'' fandom opinion is divided whether Missi is simply an over eager fangirl about Ash or a creepy StalkerWithACrush. It's [[InternetBackdraft strongly recommended to not mention the subject]] on the fan forum.

* Payton Banks, who debuted for [[Wrestling/ImpaxtWrestling TNA]] in the crowd cheering on Wrestling/BobbyRoode, and hated his official valet Traci Brooks. Banks would end up looking more and more like Ms Brooks after Roode fired her and hired Banks as her replacement, but that was seemingly part of her desire to please Roode.

* Payton Banks, who debuted for Wrestling/{{TNA}} in the crowd cheering on Wrestling/BobbyRoode, and hated his official valet Traci Brooks. Banks would end up looking more and more like Ms Brooks after Roode fired her and hired Banks as her replacement, but that was seemingly part of her desire to please Roode.

* Another Wrestling/{{TNA}} example was when Orlando Jordan's valet, Brittany, who turned out to be a fangirl of Wrestling/MadisonRayne. She started trying to follow Wrestling/GailKim when Rayne was slow to accept her, and even used "eat defeat", but it became clear this was just to pass time until Rayne was available.

* Sara Del Rey had her own fan girls in Saturyne and [[Wrestling/{{Rosemary}} Courtney Rush]], the latter being the only wrestler who wanted to be Del Rey's friend in SHIMMER after she actively alienated the entire roster, in spite of Del Rey's repeated attempts to make her piss off. And like any proud fan girl, Rush was knowledgeable enough about the subject to successfully con Del Rey into being her TagTeam partner!
