| 11 | The ''stereotypical'' fangirl is a girl who loves a story/series for one or more of the male characters. They have existed for longer than you may think: the Creator/DavidDuchovny EstrogenBrigade was a ''terrifying'' force on ''Series/TheXFiles''' group on Platform/{{Usenet}}. The term has since widened beyond that stereotype to include girls who are merely fans of something or other. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | 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 enthusiasm for the subject. If they're a fangirl of a real celebrity, that's also FictionalFanRealCelebrity. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | See GroupieBrigade if they come in swarms. If the fangirl is a fan of a villain, see MonsterFangirl. If the fangirl takes her fangirling to disturbing levels, she's a LoonyFan, not this trope. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | See also EstrogenBrigade, {{Squee}}, and {{Groupie}}. Approximately the DistaffCounterpart to {{Fanboy}}, though the two types of fan have sufficiently different stereotypes that it would make sense to [[GenderInvertedTrope describe a boy as a fangirl, or vice-versa]]. |
| 18 | ---- |
| 19 | !!Examples: |
| 20 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 21 | |
| 22 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 23 | * ''Manga/{{Bakuon}}'': Rin is a Suzuki fangirl, to the point that she has trouble riding bikes from other brands. [[HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood She even has a Suzuki mark in her left ass cheek, but that's entirely for other reason]]. |
| 24 | * Mendou in ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'' had a formal organization of fangirls following his every move, and ready to punish Ataru for any perceived infraction against him. |
| 25 | * ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'': Gary Oak has his very own cheerleading section, whose only purpose is to accompany him on his Pokémon journey and cheer about how great he is... and [[RunningGag "occasionally"]] mention that [[DudeWheresMyRespect Ash sucks compared to him.]] |
| 26 | * Renge in ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' is a very educated one. 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'''. |
| 27 | * ''Anime/PowerpuffGirlsZ'': Momoko (Blossom) has a triple dose of this: |
| 28 | ## Food (especially sweets), |
| 29 | ## 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 |
| 30 | ## Damn near every cute boy in the Tokyo area. |
| 31 | * Minto from ''Manga/TokyoMewMew'' is a closet fangirl of model and actress Fujiwara Zakuro. Removes the "closet" (pun not intended, but strangely appropriate) after Zakuro joins the team. |
| 32 | ** The lead character, Ichigo, begins the series as a fringe member of her eventual love interest's InstantFanclub (he's the KendoTeamCaptain). Both she and Minto grow to see their respective objects of affection as people rather than ideals. |
| 33 | * Subaru of ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'' is the title character's 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... |
| 34 | * Motomiya Jun of ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'' is a living embodiment of this trope, going so far as to chase down the [[ChickMagnet cool, aloof, and completely uninterested]] Ishida Yamato whenever within sight. Once it becomes clear that he's interested in Sora, she moves onto Jou's older brother. [[AllThereInTheManual An audio drama]] seems to imply that they eventually have some kind of relationship: she visits him on Valentine's Day and gets introduced to his parents. |
| 35 | * ''Manga/MakenKi'': Uruchi's admiration for Haruko goes beyond fangirling, she openly ''[[EvenTheGirlsWantHer fan]]''''[[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c042/18.html -GASMS]]'' over her. Though Haruko has no clue that her kohai [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c044/5.html wants to get into her pants.]] |
| 36 | * ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': |
| 37 | ** Sakura and Ino spend the majority of Part I fangirling over [[TheRival Sasuke Uchiha]], though [[ByronicHero Sasuke]] was more turned off by it than anything. Thankfully they [[CharacterDevelopment get better and stop]]. Sakura's simple fangirlism turns into a more mature attraction [[spoiler:that ends in her married to Sasuke]], while Ino moves on [[spoiler:to Sasuke's SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute Sai]]. |
| 38 | ** In Part II, which takes place after a three-year TimeSkip, there's Karin and Shiho, both of whom [[MoodSwinger alternate]] between calm and level-headed scientist-types to squealing fangirls for Sasuke and Shikamaru, respectively. |
| 39 | ** In ''Anime/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. |
| 40 | * An, Tomoka, and Sakuno from ''Manga/ThePrinceOfTennis'', each girl in her different ways. |
| 41 | %%* ''Anime/SailorMoon'': |
| 42 | %%** Also happens in the anime with the Starlights; particularly Ami, which shocks everyone. |
| 43 | %%** Also in the anime, Minako turns out to be a fangirl of an idol singer--an important plot point in the end. |
| 44 | * Ohno, Ogiue, and Ohno's friends Angela and Sue from ''Manga/{{Genshiken}}'', though they're more realistic than most portrayals of fangirls (aside from Ohno and Angela's [[{{Fanservice}} exaggerated proportions]]). |
| 45 | * ''Manga/{{Nana}}'': In her earliest appearances, Misato-chan seems to exist solely to fangirl Nana and the Black Stones, to the point of ignoring school, moving in with them to act as a fetch-and-carry girl, and even [[spoiler:using a fake name to stump Yasu's attempted background check]]. |
| 46 | * ''Manga/LuckyStar'': |
| 47 | ** Konata Izumi is a rare example of a different type of fangirl. She is not interested in shipping or attractive male fictional characters, instead having many characteristics of a typical male {{Otaku}}; she consumes tons of manga and anime and is addicted to video games of all genres (especially [=RPGs=] and {{Dating Sim}}s). That said, in the anime adaptation she's an especially big fan of ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'', owning tons of ''Haruhi'' merchandise and being easily bribed by Patty with tickets to see Creator/AyaHirano, Haruhi's voice actress. Some of this may be influenced by her father, who is also an otaku. |
| 48 | ** Hiyori Tamura, with her YuriFan and {{doujinshi}} drawing tendencies, is a more traditional example of this trope. She's especially prone to [[ShipperOnDeck shipping her friends Yutaka and Minami together]] and drawing manga based on them, much to her own shame. |
| 49 | * [[ClassRepresentative Emily Sevensheep]] of ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' is a massive Nagi fangirl. In fact, many females in the Magic World are Nagi fangirls. There's a reason why being among the first 100 to join the official Nagi fanclub is considered a special thing. Hell, being in the first ''five digits'' is considered a big deal. |
| 50 | ** Ayaka runs the line between being a Negi fangirl and being a paedophile. Most of the class thinks it's the second. |
| 51 | * 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 defense. |
| 52 | ** Kaguya's an even bigger example. |
| 53 | * Yumi from ''Literature/MariaWatchesOverUs'' 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. |
| 54 | * Kanade from ''Anime/CandyBoy'' has her fangirl in Sakuya. She doesn't seem too happy about most of the time, but she also doesn't try to get rid of her, turning poor Sakuya into a HopelessSuitor. |
| 55 | * In ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny'', Meer Campbell was so much of a fangirl for Lacus Clyne she willingly became her BodyDouble and adopted her personality and, to a degree, her role. |
| 56 | * Tomoyo is Sakura's fangirl in ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'', in addition to loving [[SingleTargetSexuality her]] in other ways. Her obsession with filming all of Sakura's exploits even disturbs Sakura on occasion, and in an early episode, she gives an impromptu manifesto on Sakura's varied awesomeness to a boy who had just complimented Sakura on her athletic skill. |
| 57 | * Mei Chan fangirls Ed briefly in ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' until she meets him and sees how short he is. She then [[HeroicBSOD BSODs]] briefly before bawling him out for "toying with her heart", and then moves her affections to Al, who is suitably tall, being a suit of armor. No pun intended. |
| 58 | * In ''Manga/KamichamaKarin'', [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Kazune]] and [[NewTransferStudent Michiru]] ("Micchi") have ''[[SeriousBusiness competing fanclubs]]'', the Kazune-Z and Michirians. They argued over who should play the good prince and bad prince in the SchoolPlay, before the Kazune-Z eventually decided that an evil Kazune would be "sinfully delicious". [[IdolSinger Jin]] also has many, some of whom get downright violent. |
| 59 | * Nozomi of ''Anime/ChancePopSession'' is a major Reika fangirl. The reason she joins the Akiba music school in the first place is for the chance to meet Reika. Even after having success as part of R-3, she still keeps her fangirl status. |
| 60 | * In ''Anime/ProjectAKo'', C-ko has been A-ko's fangirl ever since A-ko rescued her from the wolf that was about to attack her. |
| 61 | * Surprisingly, Yuki Nagato in the spin-off ''The Melancholy of Manga/HaruhiChan'' comes the closest ever to showing any emotion (thus far) by becoming the fangirl of an unnamed anime/game series. |
| 62 | * There's a couple of {{loony fan}}girls played for laughs in ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack''. This is because 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. |
| 63 | * Excel of ''Manga/ExcelSaga'' is willing to take a bullet for her leader, Il Palazzo. Several bullets. And an antitank rocket. All fired by him. |
| 64 | * Tomoe Amamiya of ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'', Kotetsu's classmate back in high school, was a giant {{superhero}} fangirl. [[spoiler:Naturally, she ended up marrying one]]. |
| 65 | * In ''Manga/BlackButler'', Grell personifies MANY of the fan's emotions towards a certain demonic butler... |
| 66 | * Reika in ''Manga/{{Gantz}}'' is a Kurono fangirl and is called [[LampShadeHanging Kurono's #1 Fan]] by Gantz. |
| 67 | * In ''Literature/ThePetGirlOfSakurasou'', Sorata's little sister Yuuko became a fan of [[IdiotSavant Mashiro]] after learning the latter is the author of her favorite manga, ''Nanohana-sou''. |
| 68 | * In ''Manga/YuGiOh'': Vivian Wong is a Yugi and Kaiba fangirl. She even kidnaps Yugi's grandpa, just because to get a date with our hero. |
| 69 | * In ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'', Rei Saotome (Blair Flannigan) was first introduced as a crazy Ryo Marufuji (Zane Truesdale) fangirl. Then, she turns into a Judai Yuki (Jaden Yuki) fangirl. She was also a Jun Manjoume (Chazz Princeton) fangirl for a minute, but then she remembers Judai. She's still hitting on Judai. |
| 70 | * In ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'', Jack has Carly, Mikage/Mina, and Stephanie. The three of them don't like each other. |
| 71 | * In ''Anime/DokiDokiPrettyCure'', [[TheHeroine Mana Aida]] is a fangirl to the IdolSinger [[TheLancer Makoto "MakoP" Kenzaki]]. One wonders who Mana loves the most, [=MakoP=], [[ChildhoodFriends Rikka]], or Regina. |
| 72 | * ''Anime/DevilHunterYohko'': [[CuteClumsyGirl Asuza]]'s admiration for Yohko knows no bounds and she aspires to become just like her. So when she saw Chikgako's [[WhoYouGonnaCall ad in the paper]], she assumed Yohko was looking for an apprentice and [[JumpedAtTheCall quite literally showed up on her doorstep to accept the job offer]]. |
| 73 | * Akane of ''Manga/CastleTownDandelion'' is a fangirl of [[IdolSinger Sacchan]]. In chapter 20/Episode 7B, she even drops her ShrinkingViolet shell to invade the backstage of a concert just to see Sacchan (after Hikari refused her request as the latter doesn't want people to know she is Royalty). |
| 74 | * Most of the female characters in ''Anime/YuriOnIce'' are fangirls towards a specific male figure skater or male skaters in general (even the six-year-old Nishigori triplets!). The only exceptions are Hiroko (who isn't familiar with the figure skating world) and those who are already figure skaters themselves like Mila and Sara. |
| 75 | * Ai Haibara of ''Manga/CaseClosed'' 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. |
| 76 | * In ''Anime/TomicaHyperRescueDriveHeadKidouKyuukyuuKeisatsu'', Cyclone Interceptor seems to be a magnet for human fangirls, most notably Kasumi and Sasagawa. While the former makes it clear that she's in love with Interceptor's driver (despite not knowing his true identity), it's much vaguer in Sasagawa's case, given her tendency to blush around it, call it "My Cyclone" and even faint when it saves her. |
| 77 | ** There is also Kasumi's classmate Azusa, who favors the red Drive Head, Backdraft. |
| 78 | ** Lastly, Mikoto Ishino, who this time is a fangirl to IdolSinger Sala Manda, and gushes when she realizes that she met and even got to touch Sala. |
| 79 | * In ''Anime/BattleSpiritsShonenToppaBashin'', Meganeko is a huge fangirl of [[IdolSinger My Sunshine]] and is certainly overjoyed when they're able to become friends. |
| 80 | * Laila of ''Anime/BattleSpiritsSaikyoGingaUltimateZero'' is a crazy fan of the space pirate Eris, to the point where it seems like she [[LesYay has a crush on her.]] |
| 81 | * ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'': |
| 82 | ** Karen and Erika are both massive fangirls of Kaguya (Erika just being a fan in general while Karen is a Kaguya/Shirogane shipper) and refer to themselves as the [[InstantFanClub Kaguya-sama Fan Club]]. |
| 83 | ** 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 excited after finding out that [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall he'll be playing the lead role in the live-action adaptation of a seinen series that Shirogane and Ishigami read]]. |
| 84 | * In ''Manga/AsteroidInLove'', the reason for Asuka Tomori, a fellow participant in the Shining Star Challenge, to get into astronomy in the first place is this trope—-she's a fan of Neon, an IdolSinger who is supposed to be an astronomy enthusiast. |
| 85 | [[/folder]] |
| 86 | |
| 87 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 88 | * ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'': |
| 89 | ** Characters/{{Harley Quinn|TheCharacter}} in all her appearances. |
| 90 | ** This happens from time to time with the Bat-Family. Robin moved Spoiler to costumed adventuring (she later became an [[AscendedFanboy Ascended Fangirl]]), Oracle has a new one in ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey named Misfit, and back when she started being Batgirl could have been considered one herself. |
| 91 | * ''ComicBook/CaptainBritainAndMI13'': Faiza Hussain, a civilian doctor who's a big fan of superheroes, particularly British ones. She [[AscendedFangirl eventually ends up with superpowers herself]] ''and'' a superhero for a boyfriend. |
| 92 | -->'''Pete Wisdom:''' So you're into cricket?\ |
| 93 | '''Faiza:''' It's my other fandom.\ |
| 94 | '''Pete Wisdom:''' You're calling British Occult Intelligence and the S.A.S. a ''"fandom"''? |
| 95 | * ''ComicBook/MsMarvel'': In ''ComicBook/MsMarvel2014'', [[Characters/MarvelComicsKamalaKhan Kamala Khan]], the current Ms. Marvel, before being activated as an Inhuman was a fangirl of the Avengers to the point of writing in-universe RealPersonFic about them. |
| 96 | * ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'': Molly Hayes of used to be a major ComicBook/XMen fangirl, particularly when it came to [[Characters/MarvelComicsLogan Wolverine]]. Although once he showed up with [[Characters/MarvelComicsTonyStark Iron Man]] and [[Characters/MarvelComicsSteveRogers Captain America]] (who had previously sent her to a foster home she ran away from) to arrest her friend Cloak, she decided he was a lot less cool in person. |
| 97 | * ''ComicBook/SecretSix'': The minor villainess Virtuoso is a ''huge'' Fangirl of the deceased [[MusicalAssassin Fiddler]] and is the current holder of his violin. When Fiddler appeared in front of her as a [[ComicBook/BlackestNight Black Lantern]], he could see that she was brimming with love. She claimed to be his biggest fan, gushed about his past work, and even offered to return his original violin. |
| 98 | * ComicBook/WonderWoman'': |
| 99 | ** This is how [[Characters/WonderGirlCassieSandsmark Cassie Sandsmark]], the second ComicBook/WonderGirl started out. She was the President of the Wonder Woman fan club in [[TheCity Gateway City]]. |
| 100 | ** ''ComicBook/WonderWomanTheHiketeia'': The story is actually something of a {{Deconstruction}} of the trope. Danny, the main character, idolized Diana when she was younger and and her getting revenge for her sister's death (at the behest of the Furies) was her acting on the belief that she was being strong like Diana. |
| 101 | ** ''ComicBook/WonderWomanBlackAndGold'': "The Stolen Lasso of Truth" centers around a young fan of Wonder Woman who through circumstance has gotten Diana's lasso and uses it throughout her daily life to deal with her bullies and family. She even ends up making a makeshift Wonder Woman-style outfit from clothes in her closet, Diana eventually shows up to reclaim the lasso and gives her a ride on the Invisible Jet. |
| 102 | * ''ComicBook/{{X 23}}'': [[Characters/WolverineSupportingCharacters Honey Badger]], cloned sister of [[Characters/MarvelComicsLauraKinnet X-23]], positively geeks out over meeting ComicBook/CaptainAmerica and the adult ComicBook/JeanGrey. Gabby's BigSisterWorship of Laura also edges in this direction. |
| 103 | * ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers'': Coat-Of-Arms of the Young Masters is a super-villain fangirl. When she meets Norman Osborn for the first time, she actually ''{{squee}}s''. |
| 104 | [[/folder]] |
| 105 | |
| 106 | [[folder:Comic Strips]] |
| 107 | * ''ComicStrip/FoxTrot'': |
| 108 | ** Consummate geek Jason Fox loved the first two ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' movies. ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheReturnOfTheKing The Return of the King]]'' was less enjoyable; the difference being that his teen sister Paige was now an Creator/OrlandoBloom fangirl. |
| 109 | --->'''Paige:''' I hope Orlando is in every shot of this movie! Please, please, please, let Orlando be in every shot! You read ''Return of the King'', Jason -- does Tolkien mention Orlando Bloom a lot? Wait, don't tell me! I want to be surprised!\ |
| 110 | '''Jason:''' ''[turns to someone off-panel]'' You, with the orc arrows -- please shoot me. |
| 111 | ** [[http://www.foxtrot.com/2009/12/best-gift-ever/ A blog post]] eventually reveals that this is based on Bill Amend's wife's real-life fangirlism. |
| 112 | [[/folder]] |
| 113 | |
| 114 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 115 | * ''Fanfic/OfficialFanfictionUniversity'' deal with... curing ...fangirls. Sample students include: |
| 116 | ** Suzianna Goldenfur from the ''Literature/{{Redwall}}'' OFU, who supplied the page quote for BreadEggsMilkSquick. |
| 117 | ** 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. |
| 118 | * ''Fanfic/TheOfficialFanfictionUniversityOfMiddleEarth'' has lots of them as students. They're brought there to get over it. |
| 119 | * ''Fanfic/BecomingPonies'' introduces us to the trio of Jacqueline, Linda, and Ginny, as well as Harold. They follow Pinkie's counterpart around. |
| 120 | * ''Fanfic/FateRevelationOnline'' has Silica being a fangirl of Shirou, the SixthRanger. |
| 121 | * Fans have theorized that [=GoGo=] Tomago from ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6'' is a mild ComicBook/CaptainAmerica fangirl due to her noble personality and natural ability to throw flat circular objects. |
| 122 | * In ''Fanfic/HopToIt'', Rabbit meets another American girl in Paris named Colleen who was a fan of her superhero persona when they both still lived in Calfiornia. Colleen gets akumatised after getting angry over a Ladyblog video attacking Rabbit, and proclaims herself Rabbit's sidekick Cottontail. Hilariously, Cottontail and Colleen's reactions to meeting Rabbit are almost the same: |
| 123 | -->'''Cottontail:''' ''[after Rabbit shows up at the observatory]'' Rabbit! Omigosh omigosh omigosh! You're here! I knew you would be able to find me! I knew it! Ahhhhhh! I can't believe this is happening! This is the greatest--THE greatest thing that has ever happened to me, ever!\ |
| 124 | '''Colleen:''' ''[after being freed from her akuma]'' Rabbit! Omigosh omigosh omigosh! Ahhhhhh! I can’t believe this is happening!\ |
| 125 | '''Rabbit:''' I can. |
| 126 | * ''Fanfic/MegaManDefenderOfTheHumanRace'' has Klainka Cossack, who is a huge fan of Mega Man. |
| 127 | * In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9495178/1/Return-of-the-Hero Return of the Hero]]'', [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Rosa]] is a HUGE fan of May, to the point where she humiliates herself {{Squeeing}} over eating in the same restaurant as her idol. |
| 128 | * ''Fanfic/TheSomewhatCrackedMindOfUchihaItachi'': Samehada ''hates'' them, which is a problem because most female Academy students were fangirls. Sakura and Ino even originally joined the summer camp as fangirls 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. |
| 129 | * ''Fanfic/YetAgainWithALittleExtraHelp'': Fangirls 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 fangirl ''riot'' outside his home. |
| 130 | * In ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' fanfic ''Fanfic/ResurrectedMemories'': Danny has got a ton of them, due to becoming famous after saving the world from the Disasteroid. Paulina is the most prominent example of them. One of the reasons Danny [[spoiler: ends up falling for "Amberline" is because she's not one of them.]] |
| 131 | * In ''WebVideo/UltraFastPony'', Pinkie Pie is a fangirl for ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' films. She frequently works ''LOTR'' references into her conversations, she wrote a massive SelfInsertFic (where her author avatar ends up in a love triangle with Bill the pony and Shadowfax), and her main reason for going to the Grand Galloping Gala was to share this fic with as many people as possible. |
| 132 | * ''Webcomic/{{REMNANTS}}'': Ruby's deceased mother Summer was a 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. |
| 133 | * ''Fanfic/{{Essence}}'': Ash's mother Delia is a huge fan of science and the scientific community. She freaks out when she learns that Ash is friends with ''the'' Bill Montgomery. |
| 134 | * While in ''Fanfic/AYoungWomansPoliticalRecord'', Millicent Caldwall is merely a fan of Tanya, largely for her being the most successful woman in history, in some of the omakes, she goes to incredible extremese such as thinking the mere act of Tanya sitting on a barstool and leaning against the bar would be award worthy in a movie. |
| 135 | * Most of the characters of ''Fanfic/TinSoldiers'' are this for Steve Rogers. |
| 136 | * ''Webcomic/NaruHinaChronicles'': A flashback set during the canonical TimeSkip showed that Mina used to behave like a fangirl towards Kiba, similar to how Sakura used to behave this way towards Sasuke. |
| 137 | [[/folder]] |
| 138 | |
| 139 | [[folder:Films -- Animation]] |
| 140 | * ''WesternAnimation/Cars1'' had Mia and Tia, the two little convertibles. After the race in the film's beginning, they [[{{demographically inappropriate humour}} "flash" their "headlights"]] at him. They later appear repainted light green when their adoration has shifted to Chick Hicks. But when Chick's penchant for UnnecessaryRoughness is exposed in the tiebreaker race, they switch back to adoring Lightning again. They even move to Radiator Springs and become waitresses at Flo's V8 gas station in the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue. |
| 141 | * In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', Mei and her friends are huge fangirls of 4*Town, and their motivation throughout the film is to attend the boyband's Toronto concert. |
| 142 | [[/folder]] |
| 143 | |
| 144 | [[folder:Films -- Live-Action]] |
| 145 | * An OlderThanTheyThink example as Marcia from the film ''Film/ItsLoveImAfter'' (1937) is a big fan of a Shakespearean actor, Basil, and will stop at nothing to get him to marry her. |
| 146 | * In ''Film/GalaxyQuest'', a fangirl at a convention faints upon seeing Jason and Gwen kiss. |
| 147 | * In ''Film/{{Colette}}'', Willy assumes that the first Claudine novel will mostly sell to men, thanks to its erotic elements. However, it 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. |
| 148 | * ''Film/NotOkay'': Danni is one for Literature/HarryPotter, having the books in her old room and naming her guinea pig "Guinea Weasley". She also references Creator/AlanRickman in her article, speculating if it was his ghost that saved her. |
| 149 | [[/folder]] |
| 150 | |
| 151 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 152 | * Prudence in ''Literature/DontCallMeIshmael'' is a fangirl of Music/TheBeatles. She knows every Beatles song ever recorded and can play most of them on three different instruments. She is named after their song 'Dear Prudence'. Her brother comments that she even looks like one of them. |
| 153 | %%* Miranda Duke, from ''Literature/EighteenDaysToGraduation'', is obsessed with Music/SidVicious. And punk rock in general... |
| 154 | * ''Literature/HarryPotter'': Romilda Vane and her posse are obsessed with Harry, to the point that she plans to [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale spike his drink with a]] LovePotion so he'll fall in love with her. Ron ends up taking the hit for that one instead. |
| 155 | * In ''Literature/{{Loveless}}'', Georgia likes reading [[invoked]] {{Shipping}} fanfics, but despite [[ThinksLikeARomanceNovel knowing the common romance tropes]], she can't understand why she doesn't feel the same attraction as the characters. |
| 156 | * ''Literature/{{Nightside}}'': Some of the lesser Beings on the Street of the Gods don't have "religions" so much as "fandoms", and one of the Beings [[spoiler: whom Lilith destroys personally]] was revered entirely by young teenage girls. |
| 157 | * 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 one of these for Music/OneDirection. 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. |

| 159 | |
| 160 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 161 | * ''Series/TheWestWing'''s Josh Lyman has in-show fangirls ("The Lyman Hos" and those from lemonlyman.com). A bit of TruthInTelevision, as [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed he's pretty much]] [[MemeticBadass Rahm Emanuel]]. |
| 162 | ** Although it is also a little bit of Aaron Sorkin's experiences with commenting on Website/TelevisionWithoutPity. |
| 163 | * ''Series/TheGirlFromPlainville'': Michelle is a big fan of ''Series/{{Glee}}'' and gets Susie to watch it with her. Later she has a FantasySequence where she and Conrad are doing a cover of Music/REOSpeedwagon's "Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore"... as Rachel and Finn. |
| 164 | * ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' added an in-show fangirl Becky Rosen, who meets Sam and Dean in the first episode of season 5 and 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.]] |
| 165 | ** And writing creepy Wincest [[RealLifeWritesThePlot fanfiction]] |
| 166 | * ''Series/{{Castle|2009}}'': |
| 167 | ** 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]]). |
| 168 | ** 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 cosplay. The whole episode is also a hilarious meta-nod to ''Series/{{Firefly}}''. |
| 169 | * The web show within a show of ''Series/ICarly'' has an obsessed and annoying fangirl named Mandy. |
| 170 | * In ''Series/{{Leverage}}'', after Eliot plays the guitar once in public he gains a shocking amount of fangirls - in one scene they recognize him on the street and chase after him en masse. Later in the episode, Hardison spreads a rumor online, causing the fangirls to attack a car that they believe Eliot is in. |
| 171 | * In the show ''Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm'', specifically the episode ''I Love Lothor'', Lothor stars in a tv show ala ''I Love Lucy'', which sways the minds of anyone who watches the show to fall in fangirl love with him through subliminal signals, instantly creating an army of fangirls who swarm the studio with homemade signs and attack anyone who dares say anything against Lothor. |
| 172 | * Penelope of ''Series/TheAmandaShow'', who's obsessed with Amanda (and is played by Amanda). |
| 173 | * Goes back a long way further than the Creator/DavidDuchovny EstrogenBrigade. Seventies cop show ''Series/StarskyAndHutch'' saw its own Estrogen Brigade volunteering in the devoted service of the two lead actors, most noticeably David "Hutch" Soul. Soul was propelled into a lucrative second career as a crooning pop star on the back of the series, with a long string of chart hits, lapped up by his adoring and swooning fan base. Who even now, in their fifties, still go to his gigs. |
| 174 | * ''Series/DoctorWho'' has presented us with several examples. Recent ones include: |
| 175 | ** Osgood (to the extent that she actually ''cosplays as the Doctor''). |
| 176 | ** O'Donnell ("Under the Lake" and "Before the Flood") who has a squee moment when she first meets the Doctor and displays a detailed knowledge of his exploits. |
| 177 | ** Generally speaking, the Doctor's companions do not come off as "fangirls" or "hero-worshippers", but Clara Oswald has exhibited these tendencies from time to time, such as with Robin Hood in "Robot of Sherwood", Jane Austen, and even the Doctor himself. |
| 178 | * ''Series/HimitsuNoHanazono'': Ryoko is a HUGE fan of Yuriko Hanazono and is oblivious to the fact that she isn't a woman. She also loves ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' and often talks about it with Osamu. At one point she even tries to launch a fashion line using Gundam figurines as models. |
| 179 | * ''Series/HometownChaChaCha'': Chun-jae's teenage daughter Ju-ri is a passionate fan of (fictional) K-pop group DOS, with her bias specifically being a member named June. She collects their merchandise, obsessively watches their performances, and starts respecting Hye-jin after the latter tells her she treated June at her clinic once. |
| 180 | * In ''Series/PrettyGuardianSailorMoon'', Usagi and most of her friends are fangirls of Aino Minako, an IdolSinger who also turns out to be Sailor Venus. |
| 181 | [[/folder]] |
| 182 | |
| 183 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 184 | * First emerged in Western culture with stereotypical female responses to Music/FrankSinatra and Music/TheBeatles. |
| 185 | * Music/DieArzte parodied the fandom of German-language rock (not to be confused with KrautRock) in their song “Deutschrockgirl.” |
| 186 | * Music/PorterRobinson went as far as to write a song about an indescript fangirl of himself in the single “Cheerleader.” |
| 187 | [[/folder]] |
| 188 | |
| 189 | [[folder:Podcasts]] |
| 190 | * Episode two of ''Podcast/MysteryShow'', entitled "Britney," features Andrea, who was a big Music/BritneySpears fan even before Britney was photographed carrying Andrea's book. |
| 191 | [[/folder]] |
| 192 | |
| 193 | [[folder:Pro Wrestling]] |
| 194 | * 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 the Super Star Unit to take over the company and put out all the young ones who had been her fans. |
| 195 | * [[Wrestling/{{Melina}} Kyra]] was one to Wrestling/ReyMysterioJr, following in his footsteps by going down to Tijuana's WWA. However, when she finally caught up to Rey Mysterio he was the opponent of her boyfriend [[Wrestling/JohnMorrison Johnny Nitro]], so he had to go down. |
| 196 | * 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. |
| 197 | * Wrestling/SaraDelRey to Wrestling/AjaKong. She considered working for Kong's ARSION the highlight of her career(up to that point) and got to wrestle Kong in Wrestling/{{Chikara}}. Also of Wrestling/MickieJames. She rekindled an old rivalry with Madison Rayne in Remix Pro over Rayne breaking James's arm in TNA. |
| 198 | * Wrestling/BlackRose to Bronco #1. It's one thing to support a managerial client. It's another when you've left WWC for its biggest rival but keep buying tickets to shows to cheer him on. Also, unsurprisingly, to Wrestling/BruiserBrody. Surprisingly to Wrestling/IvelisseVelez, who she had been wrestling longer than, had been beaten down by several times and been described by as "most annoying". However, when Taylor Made [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown tried to cave Rose's skull in with a prolonged brass knuckle assault]], [[EvenEvilHasStandards even Velez]], who had just given an ItsAllAboutMe speech earlier in the night, found it excessive and [[SympathyForTheHero was the only wrestler in SHINE to do something about it]]. |
| 199 | * 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. |
| 200 | * Sara Del Rey had her fangirls 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, despite Del Rey's repeated attempts to make her piss off. And like any proud fangirl, Rush was knowledgeable enough about the subject to successfully con Del Rey into being her TagTeam partner! |
| 201 | * Wrestling/TheBeautifulPeople, fangirls 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. |
| 202 | * Jennifer Blake of Las Gringas Locas became one of The International Home Wrecking Crew after meeting Radiant Rain(aka Payton Banks), a fellow member of the larger stables La Legion Extrajera and La Sociedad. Unfortunately for her, the only woman in Wrestling/{{AAA}} Rain seemed to truly like was Sexy Star, so Blake never officially joined the crew. |
| 203 | * [[Wrestling/{{Paige}} Britani Knight]] was another Home Wrecking Crew fangirl, in her case the catalyst being "Coventry's Loudest" Jetta. When a heckling fan called her a "Jetta wannabe", Knight said "[[InsultBackfire thank you]]"! |
| 204 | * Another 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. |
| 205 | * [=LuFisto=] to Ayako Hamada. She considered it a dream come true when she got to wrestle Hamada in nCw's spinoff Femme Fatales promotion. Also to [[Wrestling/CarleneMoore Jazz]]. When Jazz taunted [=LuFisto=] about how much less [=LuFisto=] had accomplished compared to her [=LuFisto=] said that was why she liked her. |
| 206 | [[/folder]] |
| 207 | |
| 208 | [[folder:Roleplay]] |
| 209 | * ''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 hugs them. |
| 210 | [[/folder]] |
| 211 | |
| 212 | [[folder:Theatre]] |
| 213 | * ''Theatre/{{Fangirls}}'': As can be surmised from the title, all of the teenage characters are fangirls: obsessed fans of Harry, the lead singer of the boy band True Connection. |
| 214 | [[/folder]] |
| 215 | |
| 216 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 217 | * ''[[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 has a Yuka T-shirt, a ball cap 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)!]] |
| 218 | * ''VideoGame/BetrayalAtKrondor'' has the resident stoic badass Gorath run into "an admirer" who's immediately all over him, causing him to do what anyone would do - ''flee''. |
| 219 | * 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 the 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. |
| 220 | * 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 fan clubs, sending e-mails about insipid details, and even arguing amongst themselves - just as their real-life counterparts do. There is even a side-quest that involves helping them which directly influences the final number of members in Zack's fan club. |
| 221 | * Nomi-Nomi in ''VideoGame/IWasATeenageExocolonist'' fits the stereotype although they're nonbinary. They're obsessed with anime, especially ''[[ShowWithinAShow Turbogirl Hyperjet Transform]]'', and like making fanart and fanfics out of their favorite shows and video games and cosplaying as their favorite characters. They also made their own OriginalCharacter for ''Turbogirl'', which is an AuthorAvatar of themselves. |
| 222 | * In ''VideoGame/TheLastStory'' after a sidequest you'll get a few of them, with a fan club... |
| 223 | * ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' has, once you win a specific mini-game, three {{squee}}ing fangirls who will follow Link as if he were a rockstar no matter where in the city he goes. |
| 224 | * ''VideoGame/LikeADragonInfiniteWealth'' has Kei, a waitress at Revolve Bar in Hawaii, who gets absolutely ecstatic when she sees Kiryu come by and spends a solid minute gushing about him to Kasuga. She is [[InkSuitActor modeled after]] and [[PromotedFangirl voiced by]] Japanese[=/=]English streamer WebVideo/KsonOnAir, [[ActorAllusion who is a real-life Kiryu fangirl.]] |
| 225 | * ''VideoGame/LimbusCompany'' has Don Quixote, who became a Fixer because she is a massive fan of them. When she meets Siegfried, who has been sent to kill her for breaking a K Corp. taboo, she babbles incoherently about her admiration for him. |
| 226 | * ''Franchise/MassEffect'': "Good to finally meet you Commander Shepard. Kasumi Goto. I'm a fan." Since the quote is not quite enough to show Kasumi's fangirlishness, she will keep shipping you with other teammates (especially Tali) and discuss your date with Kelly (though not for very long, due to the way her "dialogue" is written). |
| 227 | * ''VideoGame/OsuTatakaeOuendan 2'' has a scenario where the player cheers on a group of three middle-aged Fangirls trying to save their [[DistressedDude kidnapped idol]]. |
| 228 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Solatorobo}}'', if Red becomes a prizefighter, 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''. |
| 229 | * ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'': Amy combines this trope with StalkerWithACrush and 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. |
| 230 | * Marina from ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'' is one to the Squid Sisters, the IdolSinger group that hosted [[VideoGame/Splatoon1 the first game]]. One of the Sunken Scrolls implies that [[spoiler:they inspired her to move to Inkopolis]], and she claims in one conversation to have watched a particular Squid Sisters music video "like 300 times". Her interview in the Splatune 2 soundtrack reveals that she considers them her "roots" and confirms that they're the reason she wanted to start getting into the music world. [[spoiler:The second game's ''Octo Expansion'' plotline confirms that it was the Squid Sisters' "performance" at the climax of ''Splatoon 1'' that convinced her there was a life for her beyond designing war machines, and she idolizes the Sisters as a result.]] |
| 231 | * ''[[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 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. |
| 232 | * ''VideoGame/SuikodenIII'' has two fangirls, Cecile and Alanis, of [[LadyOfWar Chris Lightfellow]]. Both want to be just like her, and Cecile is well on her way, but Alanis's talents [[SquishyWizard lie in other areas]]. |
| 233 | * Morgan [=LeFlay=], Mighty Bounty Hunter(TM), from ''VideoGame/TalesOfMonkeyIsland'', is a rabid (and the only) Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate(TM), fangirl. |
| 234 | [[/folder]] |
| 235 | |
| 236 | [[folder:Visual Novels]] |
| 237 | * In ''VisualNovel/DoubleHomework'', Lauren starts out as one of these for the protagonist. As time goes on, she starts to like him more for him than for his fame. |
| 238 | * 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 the 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. |
| 239 | * Chris in ''VisualNovel/MajikoiLoveMeSeriously'' is a huge JidaiGeki fan, and in particular 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. |
| 240 | * Played for laughs in ''VisualNovel/HalloweenOtome'' when fangirls coo about [[spoiler: Tyger, Mr. Wolf’s stage name]] without knowing that he's nearby. |
| 241 | * 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 was aware that he was so good at writing horror because [[spoiler:he committed horrific acts of surgical BodyHorror on girls that he kidnapped.]] |
| 242 | [[/folder]] |
| 243 | |
| 244 | [[folder:Web Animation]] |
| 245 | * ''WebAnimation/MGTSchool'': |
| 246 | ** 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]]. |
| 247 | ** 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. |
| 248 | [[/folder]] |
| 249 | |
| 250 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 251 | * In ''Webcomic/{{Blitzcrafter}}'', Meredith mentions writing lesbian incest fanfiction. For what, we're not sure. She's also a YuriFan. |
| 252 | * In ''Webcomic/ErrantStory'', Misa to Sara, improbably enough (at least having the 1400-year-old immortal be the fangirl to the young woman barely out of her teens seems to fit the "improbable" category). |
| 253 | * ''Webcomic/FontesRants'': A recurring character is an unnamed fangirl who appeared in the very first strip obsessing over ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}''. |
| 254 | * In ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' Tarvek is flabbergasted to learn that Captain Hawkins and her crew are fans of the incredibly violent Bangladesh [=DuPree=]. Gil reveals that he runs into people who are fans of her surprisingly often. |
| 255 | * [[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 getting over it very quickly now. |
| 256 | ** Also WV, after [[spoiler: leading the Prospitians and Dersites]] to battle, he has many admirers, most of them female pawns from both sides. |
| 257 | ** On [[spoiler: Scratched Earth]], Jane is Betty Crocker's No.1 Fangirl and heiress to the company. Oddly enough, her Beta counterpart, [[spoiler: Nanna, hated and feared the baroness, while her adoptive brother inherited the company.]] |
| 258 | ** [[spoiler: uranianUmbra]] is a fangirl of the kids and the trolls. She even draws fanart of them (Which is drawn by an [[http://wecansexy.tumblr.com/ actual fanartist on Tumblr]].) (Warning: link contains spoilers.) |
| 259 | * In ''Webcomic/ImpureBlood'', Mac, toward Roan. [[http://www.impurebloodwebcomic.com/Pages/Issue3/ib061.html Though she does realize it could be unpleasant for him]], [[http://www.impurebloodwebcomic.com/Pages/Issue4PAGES/ib082.html she doesn't realize he might dislike "The Abomination"]]. |
| 260 | * ''Webcomic/LeifAndThorn'': Ivy is a [[http://leifandthorn.com/comic/fish-story-441/ gushing fangirl]] of in-universe magical-girl series. |
| 261 | * ''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]], even though 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.]] |
| 262 | * In ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'' fandom opinion is divided whether Missi is simply an over-eager fangirl about Ash or a creepy StalkerWithACrush. |
| 263 | * In ''Webcomic/NipAndTuck'', [[http://www.rhjunior.com/NT/00641.html denying the impact on your life is weakened when a fangirl goes squee over you.]] |
| 264 | * In ''Webcomic/{{Rascals}}'', Issy just adores Reiko. |
| 265 | * In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', Monique meets her first fangirl, just when she has decided to rebel against the patriarchy. Her fangirl still worships her as It-Girl. |
| 266 | * Marie of ''Webcomic/SandraOnTheRocks'' is a reasonably sane video games fan and blogger who occasionally displays [[http://www.sandraontherocks.com/strips-sotr/i_was_imagining_things slightly worrying fangirl tendencies towards Sandra.]] (The Franchise/SuperMarioBros lingerie there doesn't exactly make her look less of a fangirl either.) Offering to [[http://www.sandraontherocks.com/strips-sotr/stench_of_ex-husband wash Sandra's back]] in the {{shower|Scene}} might be considered a little worrying of her, too. |
| 267 | * 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 through 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]]. |
| 268 | * There was also the ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'' storyline in which most of the attendees of a comic book convention were mauled to death (in variously creative ways) by a small army of angry fangirls. |
| 269 | * In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Akiko is [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2012-02-13 like]] [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2012-02-27 this]] toward [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} Rapunzel]]. |
| 270 | [[/folder]] |
| 271 | |
| 272 | [[folder:Web Original]] |
| 273 | * Iphigenie in ''Literature/GreekNinja'' is a big one. She fawns over any officially hot guy (and even unofficially hot.) |
| 274 | * Every time the young, handsome police officer Derek appears in the web fiction serial ''Literature/DimensionHeroes'', it results in the two female leads going crazy. |
| 275 | * Although 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 ensue, culminating with the fangirl getting a nosebleed during an attempted (same-sex) KissOfTheVampire, and crying about her OTP when said kiss is interrupted. |
| 276 | * In the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'', [[SuperheroSchool high school]] girl [[TheFairFolk Fey]] has her fan club chock full of fangirls who are ''also'' superpowered mutants. Not only does this mortify her, but her friends tease her about it. |
| 277 | * In the {{superhero}} {{web serial novel}} ''Literature/{{Gamer Girl|2016}}'', Kazé/Fangirl is the self-proclaimed number one fan of the superhero Golden Boy as well as a superhero fangirl generally. Interestingly, her fandom seems to encompass both the real superheroes of the ''Gamer Girl'' [[TheVerse Verse]] and fictional superheroes from [[Creator/MarvelComics Marvel]] and [[Creator/DCComics DC]] comics. |
| 278 | [[/folder]] |
| 279 | |
| 280 | [[folder:Web Videos]] |
| 281 | * This is basically the whole shtick of ''WebVideo/ColeyDoesThings''. She describes herself as a "professional fangirl" on her channel's About page, and when she's not busy making fun of different fandoms, she's freaking out over some of her favorite TV shows. |
| 282 | * ''WebVideo/DrHorriblesSingAlongBlog'' has two Fangirls and a CampGay {{Fanboy}}. They worship (and stalk) Captain Hammer, and even engage in some DieForOurShip against his faux LoveInterest. After Hammer's humiliating defeat, they switch to Dr. Horrible. |
| 283 | * ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'': |
| 284 | ** The Critic fits the stereotype more than he does the [[{{fanboy}} male version]]. When he likes something, he'll glee over it and go into {{squee}} levels of excitement. More often than not he'll get crushed by the film making a bad move but it's still cute to see. |
| 285 | ** And then there's Hyper Fangirl, a representation of [[RealitySubtext Doug's fangirls who creep on him at cons.]] |
| 286 | * ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick'': |
| 287 | ** While the Chick refuses to count herself as this, BFF Nella {{squee}}s over most things. |
| 288 | ** And Elisa is a huge fan of ''Literature/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'', writing Fanfic and having lots of merchandise! |
| 289 | * Parody artist Jon Cozart, a.k.a. WebVideo/{{Paint}}, makes fun of Music/OneDirection fangirls in the song "Boy Brand" |
| 290 | -->''A horde of girls threw my date down an empty well\ |
| 291 | After they threatened to drown me in styling gel.'' |
| 292 | * ''WebVideo/DreamMachine'': Meredith relates to media in the manner of an obsessive nerd, including shows she’s worked on. She even ships the characters. |
| 293 | [[/folder]] |
| 294 | |
| 295 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 296 | * ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': |
| 297 | ** A random posse of fangirls shows up in the BeachEpisode when [[MrFanservice Zuko]] flings his shirt away. This is probably a shoutout to Zuko's massive EstrogenBrigade. |
