17"[[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/元気 Genki]]" is [[GratuitousJapanese Japanese]] [[BilingualBonus for "energetic" or "enthusiastic."]]
18
19The Genki Girl is a character – usually a schoolgirl, but not always – possessed of an over-abundance of energy, such that she [[ThunderingHerd runs everywhere]] (often with her arms [[HumanHummingbird waving wildly]] or [[AirplaneArms outstretched like airplane wings]]), [[MotorMouth speaks quickly]] (sometimes unintelligibly so) and/or [[NoIndoorVoice loudly]], and always does everything fast, fast, fast! She's filled with confidence and determination, regardless of whether she's competent or not. Although usually played exclusively for comedy, sometimes the Genki Girl slows down for a serious or introspective moment. But not for long -- she lives her life full-throttle. To sum it up, a good way of telling whether a female character is ''genki'' or not is to see if her family and peers are exhausted, astonished, or even creeped out by her chronic outbursts of vitality. (A female character is by far the more common version, but this trope is [[GenderInvertedTrope not limited to females]].)
20
21Despite what you'd think, the Genki Girl is usually not TheDitz. However, there have been a few blends. She is very often a MotorMouth or a [[TheNicknamer Nicknamer]]. Less sympathetic portrayals often make her the {{Jerkass}} of the group (though these are relatively rare). Alternatively, she could be both. Some are even the resident {{Cloudcuckoolander}}.
22
23The ManicPixieDreamGirl is a version of the Genki Girl who wants to introduce someone, such as her friend or beloved, to how to enjoy life. This version of Genki Girl will liven up your life whether you like it or not. A Manic Pixie Dream Girl uses her energy and love of life to help another character achieve the meaning of happiness.
24
25If this is an RPG setting, she's almost always going to be the FragileSpeedster, thus [[PersonalityPowers fitting her personality]].
26
27If a work of fiction gives its characters [[FlowerMotifs symbolic flowers]] that represent their personalities, the Genki Girl will likely get [[SunnySunflowerDisposition the sunflower]] while her animal is the [[PreciousPuppy dog]], though her energy won't necessarily make her go crazy.
28
29Whatever you do, don't give her too much coffee, cola, or sugar, and definitely teach her that hard drugs are very bad. This is why she may be [[SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl paired with somebody who is practical]].
30
31Voice actors sometimes become famous for just being able to keep up the role.
32
33Compare FistPump and HotBlooded. Compare ThePollyanna for endless optimism and cheer rather than energy. Contrast EmotionlessGirl.

35See {{Keet}} for the childish male version of this trope.

51* The eponymous character of ''Animation/{{Akis}}'' is quite the excitable girl, constantly pestering her family and friends with her antics and being unable to sit still a lot of the time.

54[[folder:Comic Books]]
55* ''ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey'': Misfit not only embodies this trope, she hangs a huge pink candy-striped [[LampshadeHanging lampshade on it]].
56* ''ComicBook/CerebusTheAardvark'': The Regency Elf.
57* Characters/{{Harley Quinn|TheCharacter}}, both in [[ComicBook/HarleyQuinn the comics]] and the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse.
58* [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker The Joker]] is an extremely dark version: he's usually portrayed as gleefully sadistic as he murders and terrorizes people.
59* ''Manhwa/TheGreatCatsby'': Sun.
60* ''ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica'': Cyclone.
61* ''ComicBook/{{Lumberjanes}}'': Ripley.
62* ''ComicBook/MegaManArchieComics'': Quake Woman started as this, but damage to her IC chip, plus the modifications she got from Dr. Lalinde who saved her from the rockslide that caused it, later caused this trope to be [[EmotionlessGirl inverted]].
63* ''ComicBook/StrangersInParadise'': Casey. [[spoiler:It may or may not be a part of her ObfuscatingStupidity.]]
64* ''ComicBook/{{Squish}}'': Peggy the Paramecium is very upbeat, energetic, loud, talkative, and optimistic. [[ForHappiness Her main goal in life is spreading positivity, joy, and happiness around and making people smile.]] Since she's always super excited, [[NoIndoorVoice her dialogue is always spoken in all-caps and tons of exclamation points]] and she cannot go through a single sentence without screaming "WEEEEEEEE!!!!!"
65** As revealed in the TV series, all her paramecium relatives share the same level of genki-ness as she does.
66* ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'': Flamebird and Miss Martian.
67* ''ComicBook/XMen'':
68** Villain Mojo has a DeadpanSnarker assistant, Majordomo, who in turn has a Genki Girl assistant, Minordomo. Minor can be expected to say "Ohmygosh, ''OH''mygolly..." at least twice per appearance, and will get worked up over something (complete with arm-waving and rapid-fire talking--her version of it goes from sentences to short phrases strung together in the end) more and more until finally having a ''heart attack''. Luckily, she's an artificial human, so Majordomo just has to hit her reset button to get her up and genki again.
69** Early appearances of [[Characters/MarvelComicsKittyPryde Kitty Pryde]] started her out as a Genki Girl, though she actually [[CharacterDevelopment matured]] during her run with the team.
70** Her best friend, [[Characters/{{Magik}} Illyana Rasputin]], tended towards this when she was in an honestly good mood, which, it must be admitted, [[CorruptTheCutie was not all that often]] after her...[[YearInsideHourOutside growing pains]].
71** Megan Gwynn (Pixie) follows ''both'' girls in starting this role, then she met Illyana a few times, and [[BreakTheCutie she's slowly being broken out of this trope]].
72* ''Young Liars'': Deconstructed; Sadie acts the way she does because a bullet in her brain destroyed her inhibitions and ability to realize consequences.
73* Guarana from ''ComicBook/{{Dollicious}}'' is an incredibly energetic, jolly, and crazy girl. It fits as Guarana fruit has more caffeine than Coffey and the character is meant to be a personification.
74* Jolt from the ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}} was ''literally'' this; she was suffused with "bio-electricity," giving her super-speed, enhanced strength, and the ability to shock with a touch.

87[[folder:Fan Works]]
88* ''Fanfic/TheChildOfLove'': According [[spoiler:Takuma -a character shows up in the sequel-]], Rei was very cheerful, vivacious, and nosy when she was a little child. He is actually shocked when he meets her again and notices she is now quiet and emotionless.
89* ''Manga/Evangelion303'': Before the beginning of this story, Rei Ayanami was incredibly cheerful, energetic, and sunny the whole time, but an accident rendered her emotionless.
90* Male example in ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11886910/1/Gankona-Unnachgiebig-Unità Gankona, Unnachgiebig, Unità]]'': Italy is basically the very ''definition'' of this trope. Germany and Japan are very fond of him because of his warmth and kindness.
91* ''Fanfic/{{HERZ}}'': [[StalkerWithACrush Kurumi]] is incredibly energetic and enthusiastic. She is constantly trying to [[TheGlomp glomp]] Shinji despite him avoiding her the whole time.
92* ''Fanfic/LoudBoyAltered'': Violet Fitz is an energetic and optimistic child.
93* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' fanfic ''Fanfic/MallRats'', there's, as well as the canonical Leni, a woman named Jolene who's "vibrant and energetic", which is part of the reason Lincoln has a crush on her.
94* Drama Heart in ''Fanfic/ManehattansLoneGuardian'' shows shades of this when she learns that her little sister is pregnant: she freaks out, squeals "I'm gonna be an aunt!" repeatedly, tackles Leviathan out of sheer excitement, and bolts for the train station as soon as her suitcase is packed.
95* Flippant, enthusiastic, and constantly wearing a toothy grin on her face, Luu-Luu from ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'' is the hyper one among the Seven Shields. These traits [[spoiler:are lost once she gets subjected to FaceFullOfAlienWingWong thanks to [[EvilSorceror Shamuhaza]], remaining a husk of her former self. Ooof]].
96* Oscar from ''Fanfic/OlivesLastPartner'' is a downplayed version of this. His brain is described as "a laser-shooting squirrel swimming in coffee inside a disco ball, quantity cubed", but all of the genki he has is solely in his overactive imagination and he's a GeniusDitz on the outside without the energy or the hyperactivity. Otto actually outpaces him in genki by at least a couple miles, if not more.
97* ''Fanfic/APikachuInLove'' gives us Pichi, a rather hyperactive Pikachu who, if not for her ''much'' nicer disposition and lack of [[RealityWarper reality-warping powers]], could be mistaken for the Pikachu equivalent of [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya Haruhi]]. [[spoiler:Gets {{deconstructed|Trope}} later on when her wacky and carefree antics nearly get Pikachu ''killed'' by an Ursaring and cause her to suffer a HeroicBSOD due to feeling like [[ItsAllMyFault it's all her fault]]. She gets over it a little as the fic goes on, but is noticeably a ''lot'' less carefree and perky for the rest of the fic.]]
98* In ''{{Fanfic/Pokempanions}}'' Plusle is very energetic and cheerful.
99* Yolanda Hall is by far one of the most excitable and happy go lucky staff members of the titular park in both ''Fanfic/PrehistoricEarth'' and its subsequent ContinuityReboot ''Fanfic/PrehistoricParkReimagined''. To put it simply, the number of times per day in which she's not walking at a brisk pace, enthusiastically doing her work or interacting with other staff members, or just plain enjoying life in general is usually always below ten.
100* ''Fanfic/SisterFloriana'': the titular character is all over this trope, especially in the original drawings.
101* ''Fanfic/SomeSemblanceOfMeaning'' has the District Twelve tributes' escort/makeshift mentor, Lavinia Gilden ([[spoiler:also known as Tansy Leefinch]]), who is highly energetic and bubbly...although this lessens later on as [[TheProtagonist Vale]] and [[MouthyKid Kit]] go into Literature/TheHungerGames and Lavinia has to watch them suffer in the arena.
102* While Fu the Nanabi jinchuriki in ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' displayed some traits of this, in ''Fanfic/SonOfTheSannin'' she gets to show it much more (helped by the fact that she's an AscendedExtra and SparedByTheAdaptation). She's an energetic girl who's always eager to make new friends and have fun, with a penchant for trolling people by [[ObfuscatingStupidity pretending she's a lot dumber than she actually is]].
103* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone'' fanworks where the girl squirrel becomes a human, she usually retains her squirrel level of hyperactivity.
104* ''Fanfic/TheTennDuology'':
105** Sigma, except for extreme circumstances, is always happy and highly energetic.
106** Tenn turns into this over having her own Megadoomer, becoming highly excited about using it, to the point of uncharacteristically bad decision making.
107* ''Webcomic/TransPonies'': Sketchpad is a loud, excitable stallion who's compared to Pinkie Pie.
108* ''Fanfic/UnbreakableRedSilkenThread'': Eventually becomes Zoey's defining trait out of the group. Always cheerful and upbeat, she also happens to be a former fan of the Total Drama series.
109* Taylor from ''Fanfic/WonderfulMazinja'' is an enthusiastic motor-mouth who can't stand still.
110* In ''Fanfic/TheZeroContextSeries'', Callista dives headlong into this category whenever she's on a shopping trip. She uses raw enthusiasm, energy, and volume alongside her fame as a PFL combatant to sway mall personnel into giving her what she wants. Bahija sees it as reality warping around her to fit her bargain-hunting desires, and it's implied she only gets away with her actions because Zapana foots the bills after she leaves.
111[[/folder]]
112
113[[folder:Films -- Animated]]
114* Faline from ''WesternAnimation/{{Bambi}}''. A wild, giggly fawn that completely flips out from a simple, soft "Hello" from Bambi.
115* ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6'':
116** Cass Hamada is a rare adult type, but she is always excited and happy.
117** Honey Lemon shifts into genki mode whenever she's doing anything chemistry-related.
118* Kiina's portrayal in ''WesternAnimation/{{Bionicle}}: The Legend Reborn'' qualifies her as one. It's in stark contrast with how sour she behaved in the novel that takes place before the movie's events--however, the movie was written first. It was also the only time we saw this side of her, but it had already stained her image in the fans' minds.
119* ''Franchise/DespicableMe'':
120** Agnes is a cheerful {{Cloudcuckoolander}}. The first time Gru meets the girls, Agnes is the one only excited and she starts happily hugging his leg.
121** Lucy Wilde in the sequel. Although initially introduced as a serious and stoic woman, she is generally very happy, enthusiastic, cheerful, and perky, shown when she exclaims, "Yay!" after telling Gru she is his new partner.
122* Dory from ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo''. Her perkiness and high energy buoy all her friends in rough times, or just annoy them.
123* Princess Anna from ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'' is extremely hyperactive and impulsive to the point of being dangerously reckless, even at the age of five. Being all alone in a castle with nothing to do and no one to talk to for 13 years has only exacerbated this, to the point where her second IWantSong is damn near exhausting to watch.
124%%* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles1'': Despite being [[MiniatureSeniorCitizens much older and smaller]] than most of the other examples listed here, Edna Mode '''definitely''' qualifies.
125* Joy from ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'' is this, being the very embodiment of happiness and energy. Even the way she moves around is very flighty and energetic, full of prancing, twirling, and dancing.
126* Unikitty from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie'' is a cat-unicorn hybrid who's full of energy and always cheerful. Barely a minute into her introduction though, we get to see [[StepfordSmiler what's beneath the mask.]]
127-->'''Unikitty:''' ''Any idea is a good idea, except the not-happy ones! Those get pushed down deep inside til you'll never, ever, ever,'' '''[[NightmareFace EVER]]''''', fiiiind theeeem~''
128* ''WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid|1989}}'' has Ariel, who frustrates her father with how energetic and adventurous she is.
129* Boo from ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc''. Justified, she is only about two years old.
130* Charlotte from ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' is a Genki Girl that seems to move entirely too fast [[TheDitz for her brain to catch up]].
131* Smurfblossom from ''WesternAnimation/SmurfsTheLostVillage'' out of the female smurfs from the lost village she's the most hyperactive, giddy, and excitable, she's very curious, always asks loads of questions, and thinks words relating to males are funny since she's never heard of them before.
132* Peni Parker from ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'' is always energetic, optimistic and happy-go-lucky. She also loves candy and manga.
133** Though her sadder, toned-down cameo in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse'' heavily implies that some BreakTheCutie has occured since then.
134* Tulip from ''WesternAnimation/{{Storks}}'', who's nearly always happy and energetic.
135* ''WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone'':
136** The squirrel that pines over Arthur after he becomes a squirrel himself is incredibly lively. It makes it all the more crushing when Arthur returns to normal and her heart is crushed.
137** The magnificently, marvelously mad Madam Mim is an older--and much eviler--example than normal, but almost every second she's onscreen, Mim is ''bursting'' with energy. Barely a moment goes by where she's not bouncing off the walls with wicked zest with the energy of a woman much, much younger than her. She's a rarity among Disney villains for this trait, but it makes her all the more enjoyable.
138* ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'': Rapunzel is pretty lively. Her never having been outside before only makes her more excitable.
139* ''Franchise/ToyStory'':
140** Jessie from ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/ToyStory3 3]]''. What we see of her ShowWithinAShow character is pure Genki; in her real-life personality, though she displays quite a bit of cynicism and remorse, she still manages to fit this trope.
141** Trixie the Triceratops from ''3''. Bonnie from the same film seems like she'll grow into one of these as well.
142* Poppy, the main protagonist of ''WesternAnimation/{{Trolls}}'' is happy, energetic, and hyperactive. She can sing, dance, and hug with the trolls.
143* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', Abby is quite loud, excitable and hyperactive. During the dodgeball game, she has two balls in either hand and catches a third one thrown at her by ''biting'' it, like a dog. And in many scenes she's visibly vibrating.
144* Young Ellie from ''WesternAnimation/{{Up}}'' is definitely one of these. Her wonderful mania for living makes you feel for her all the more when [[spoiler:she finds out that she can't have children]].
145* Gabi from ''WesternAnimation/{{Vivo}}'' is loud, chaotic, and impulsive, in contrast to the more even-keeled Vivo.
146* Vanellope von Schweetz from ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'' is certainly this. Considering that she's a game character from a [[LevelAte candy-themed]] RacingGame, it would be downright bizarre to have her be anything ''but'' hyperactive.
147[[/folder]]
148
149[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
150* ''Film/AllAboutSteve'' has Mary who is constantly cheerful, talks at a mile a minute about every bit of trivia that goes through her head, and has a tendency to flail when she gets excited.
151%% * Every role Bollywood actress Genelia D'Souza has done. Ever. Even in the non-Bollywood Indian movies. Her most famous Genki Girl role was in the Telugu film ''Bommarillu''. It was remade into three different languages, and she played the same character in all of them.
152* ''Film/BicentennialMan'': Galatea shows up halfway through the film. Her perky and pop-culture riddled personality initially suggests that she's like Andrew, but then she reveals that it comes from her "PersonalityChip", a program for human-like behaviour. After Andrew meddles with it, she turns into a surly grump that yells at Rupert for treating her [[ServantRace like a robot slave]]. Her personality at the climax of the film is much more subdued, suggesting that the chip has been removed entirely.
153%% * ''Film/BulletsOverBroadway''. Eden Brent is a giggly flapper.
154* Tessa, played by the wonderful Creator/JoanFontaine, runs everywhere barefoot and very excitedly in the ''Film/TheConstantNymph''.
155* ''Film/CoverGirl:'' Based on some catty advice from a rival, Rusty acts overly bouncy and perky in her interview for the modeling job, nearly blowing her chances. The publisher's assistant later describes her as "a redheaded nervous breakdown" and adds, "That one isn't a girl, John—she's a leaping thyroid."
156* ''Film/FanchonTheCricket'': Fanchon is full of energy, running around everywhere. She rolls around in the grass and splashes through the stream. She dances with her own shadow. She's so energetic that she can't just sit on a wooden fence, she has to bounce up and down on the beam while she sings.
157* ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' King Ghidorah counts as an extremely villainous version of this, as WordOfGod says that the weird chittering noise he makes is meant to be insane cackling, implying he's [[EvilFeelsGood having the time of his life as he massacres entire cities.]]
158* Tracy Turnblad in ''Film/Hairspray1988'' and [[Film/Hairspray2007 subsequent remakes]]. She is BigFun: energetic and optimistic. She loves dancing, the [[ShowWithinAShow Corny Collins show]], and social justice.
159* Toyo from ''Film/{{Ikiru}}'' is one of these, with her exuberance breaking Watanabe out of his [[YourDaysAreNumbered death]]-inspired angst.
160* ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull'': The girls in the opening scene get very excited about the drag race, jumping in their seats a little. They beg for the other driver to race their car, with one of them drumming her hands on the back of the seat and the other waving excitedly as they speed up.
161%% * Ashley in ''Junebug'' is one of the more realistic versions of this trope.
162%% * RebelWilson in a lot of her roles like the ''Film/PitchPerfect'' films and ''Film/WhatToExpectWhenYoureExpecting''.
163%% * Elle Woods in ''Film/LegallyBlonde'' is this trope personified.
164%% * Sophie in ''Theatre/MammaMia''. Donna and her friends are quite energetic as well, despite being in their fifties.
165* ''Film/MissMeadows'': Miss Meadows is an adult, {{downplayed|Trope}} version. She's energetic, friendly, and wears tap shoes at all times, skipping when she walks. Only a couple times is she anything less than confident and upbeat.
166%% * Bahia Ben Mahmoud in the french movie ''Le Nom des Gens''.
167* Jordan Cochran in ''Film/RealGenius''.
168-->'''Jordan:''' I never sleep; I don't know why. I had a roommate and I drove her nuts--I mean really nuts--they had to take her away in an ambulance and everything. But she's okay now, but she had to transfer to an easier school. I don't know if that had anything to do with being my fault. But listen, if you ever need to talk or you need help studying, just let me know, 'cause I'm just a couple doors down from you guys and I never sleep, okay?
169%% * Toby Walters from ''Film/RomyAndMichelesHighSchoolReunion''.
170* Basanti from ''Film/{{Sholay}}''--one of her main character traits is that she doesn't stop talking.
171%% * Christine [=McIntyre=]'s character in ''[[Film/TheThreeStooges The Brideless Groom]]''. She doesn't even have a name, but she leaves one heck of an impression.
172%% * Quorra from ''Film/TronLegacy'' is very much one when not in a life-threatening situation.
173%% * [[ActionGirl Tianxin]], the overly-energetic thief in the {{Wushu}} film ''Film/WuDang''.
174%% * Clementine in ''Film/EternalSunshineOfTheSpotlessMind''. Subverted in the sense that it's due to severe mental health issues and her boyfriend finds it grating at times.
175[[/folder]]
176
177[[folder:Literature]]
178* ''Literature/AngelaNicely'': He’s a male dog, but in “Puppy Love!”, Angela’s neighbour’s dog Max runs all about the place and literally the only time he sits down is to poop.
179* The eponymous character of ''Literature/AnneOfGreenGables'', who has a tendency to spout monologues lasting for more than a page. She stops this in the later books.
180%% * Creator/AndrewVachss's ''Burke'' books have Pepper, although speaking to Burke somehow puts a damper on her energy.
181* Permanent Rose Casson from the ''Literature/CassonFamilySeries''. She is described as recklessly boisterous (going so far as to cause a traffic jam just to meet a boy her brother knows--when she's only eight!) and, when told that her father is going to New York, she about bursts with energetic excitement.
182* The ''Literature/ChaletSchool'' books have a few of these, including heroine Joey Bettany (later Maynard), but the genkiest girl in the series has to be Mary-Lou Trelawney, arguably Joey's successor, whose endless enthusiasm and energy win her lots of friends and admirers during her time at the school. Add in {{Determinator}} tendencies and ChronicHeroSyndrome, and she wouldn't be out of place in a magical girl anime.
183* One of the first eccentricities Winterbourne notices about Literature/DaisyMiller is how she's just overflowing with energy and enthusiasm. "It was many years since he had heard a young girl talk so much."
184%% * Prilla from the ''Franchise/DisneyFairies'' series.
185* Piggie from ''Literature/ElephantAndPiggie'' is very active and cheerful, and, well, hammy. She often bounces onto the scene asking Gerald what they're going to do.
186* In ''Literature/FelicityFlooVisitsTheZoo'', Felicity runs around patting the animals and even shouts, "Guess who!?" to the zebra. Oddly enough, she's meant to be sick.
187* ''Literature/INeedAWee'': Or in this case, guy. Alan loves riding carnival rides and buying balloons and cake, to the point where even when he has to pee, he still wants to do them.
188* In the backstory of Creator/PGWodehouse's ''Literature/ThankYouJeeves'', Bertie Wooster fell in love with the American Pauline Stoker due to her beauty.. and quickly out of love when exposed to her impulsive dynamism; in the actual story, she jumps off her father's yacht in the middle of the night and breaks into Bertie's cottage trying to reach the man she now loves, "Chuffy" Chufnell.
189%% * Mizal from ''Literature/Spaceforce2012'', [[PosthumousCharacter even though she's dead]].
190%% * The eponymous character of the ''Literature/JunieBJones'' series. So. Much.
191%% * Suzy Turquoise Blue from ''Literature/KeysToTheKingdom'' is almost perpetually cheerful.
192%% * Andy from the ''Literature/{{Goosebumps}}'' story ''Literature/MonsterBlood''.
193%% * Amaranta Ursula of ''Literature/OneHundredYearsOfSolitude'', and especially Remedios the Beauty, who's also the {{Cloudcuckoolander}}.
194* ''Literature/IAmJazz'': Jazz seems to be energetic as she lists dancing, backflips, soccer, and swimming in her interests, then later she does cartwheels and bounces on the trampoline with Casey and Samantha.
195* ''Literature/TheMoonstone'': Godfrey Ablewhite's sisters, whom Betteredge calls 'the Bouncers'.
196-->Everything the Miss Ablewhites said began with a large O; everything they did was done with a bang; and they giggled and screamed, in season and out of season, on the smallest provocation.
197* ''Literature/OfFearAndFaith'': Elin is joyful, bubbly, and enthusiastic with NoSenseOfPersonalSpace, sometimes to her [[TheGlomp friends' chagrin]], but [[TheHeart usually not]].
198%% * The eponymous heroine of ''Literature/PippiLongstocking''.
199* The eponymous character of the ''Literature/RamonaQuimby'' series is rambunctious and noisy and described as "the cheerleader type" by her older sister. Her excitable nature has been known to clash with her friend Howie's stoic demeanor.
200%% * Birdie Boyer, the main character of ''Strawberry Girl''.
201%% * Quite a few of Anne Tyler's heroines qualify, especially Pauline in ''The Amateur Marriage'' (one of the many reasons why she and her husband [[TheStoic Michael]] are so mismatched). There's also [[CuteClumsyGirl Maggie]] in ''Breathing Lessons'', [[StepfordSmiler Rebecca]] in ''Back When We Were Grown-Ups'', [[AbusiveParents Pearl]] and Jenny in ''Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant'', and [[ManicPixieDreamGirl Muriel]] in ''A Patchwork Planet''.
202%% * ''Literature/TheHungerGames'': Effie Trinket is a grownup version.
203%% * ''Literature/TheMysteriousBenedictSociety'': Kate Weatherhall.
204%% * Tansy in Mira Grant's ''Parasite'' combines this with DarkActionGirl. Justified by her having suffered some brain damage due to [[CameBackWrong flawed resurrection]].
205* ''Literature/RainbowMagic'':
206** [[Literature/RainbowMagicAmberTheOrangeFairy Amber the Orange Fairy]] has the most energy of the Rainbow Fairies, and loves to turn cartwheels in the air.
207** Addison the April Fool's Day Fairy is always bursting with excitement and has to be reminded several times that she can't be spotted by other humans.
208* ''Literature/RiversOfLondon'': Beverly Brook. Her enthusiasm frequently leaves protagonist DC Grant exhausted, especially when she is near a river (well, she is an AnthropomorphicPersonification of the river by the same name).
209* ''Literature/RoysBedoys'': Zigzagged for Roys himself. Sometimes he seems very energetic, running and jumping, and other times he’s more grumpy.
210%% * ''Literature/{{Firefight}}'': Mizzie is...oddly cheerful for someone who grew up in a post-apocalyptic world.
211%% * Anthora yos'Galan in Miller & Lee's Literature/LiadenUniverse; in a different manner, her cousin Theo Waitley.
212* ''Literature/SpySchool'': Zoe is a very positive and upbeat character and one of the first to genuinely befriend Ben (although this characterization seems to be slipping a bit by the eighth book). Ashley Sparks is also a pretty cheery and energetic person to be around [[BewareTheNiceOnes as long as she likes you, that is]].
213%% * Lieutenant T'Ryssa Chen from the ''Literature/StarTrekTheNextGenerationRelaunch''.
214* ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive'': Shallan portrays this image in public, always smiling and cheerful, full of energy, and ready to move forward on the next project. It's not quite an act but... [[HiddenDepths it's an incomplete image of her]].
215* ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'': Alice Cullen is happy in nature and very energetic.
216%% * Wendy from Creator/JohnCWright's ''Literature/WarOfTheDreaming''.
217%% * Of all possible people in ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'', we are given [[spoiler:Magos]] Felicia Tayber.
218%% * Squirrelflight from ''Literature/WarriorCats''. Also, Cinderpaw [[spoiler:(before she is hit by a car and becomes crippled)]], and most of the newer Warriors and Apprentices.
219* Hajrah from ''Literature/WestMeadowsDetectives'' runs and talks almost constantly. As she explains it, she goes to the special needs classroom because she bounces too much. She sits on an exercise ball and squeezes toys to get her energy out.
220[[/folder]]
221
222[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
223%% * ''Series/{{Alphas}}'': Kat, who never seems bothered by her constant loss of memory.
224* ''Series/AmberBrown2022'': Amber and Brandi are both usually very energetic, cheerful girls.
225* Creator/AmberRuffin from ''Series/LateNight'' and ''Series/TheAmberRuffinShow''.
226%% * Momoyama Lily in the Japanese drama ''Anna-san no Omame'' (a.k.a ''The Best Friend of Beautiful Anna'').
227%% * ''Series/{{Bones}}'': Daisy Wicke manages to pull it off by being endearing...when she isn't being ''incredibly'' annoying.
228* Geum Jan Di from the 2009 Korean adapted show, ''Boys over Flowers''. When she transferred to Shinhwa school, she was the target of the f4 (the school bullies) but she doesn’t acknowledge this as she refused to be treated which later on got the interest of the two members of the group, one is Gu Jun Pyo and the other is Jihoo. Besides that, she is loud and brash and believes what’s right as she always stands up for her friends.
229%% * ''Series/{{Carrusel}}'': Valeria Ferrer.
230%% * ''Series/CoronationStreet'': This is a common trait, right from the first episode with Linda Chevski (which aired [[OlderThanYouThink December 9, 1960]]) to today's Kylie Platt. Combine this with ReallyGetsAround and you get one of the show's favorite archetypes: the classic "Tart with a Heart."
231* ''Series/DharmaAndGreg'': Dharma is the most energetic flower child you can imagine.
232* ''Series/{{Doctors}}'': Cherry, particularly in her early appearances. When she first started work at the Mill, Michelle got her to put away all the medicine that had been left out, expecting to have to sort it out herself later. Not only did Cherry get it done in record time, while she was at it, she alphabetized all the cabinets to make things easier to find.
233* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
234** The Thirteenth Doctor is loud, socially awkward, and extremely excitable, to the point of jumping up and down like a child when she gets a package delivered to her by a robot.
235** While the emotions of [[SapientShip the TARDIS]] usually aren't able to be fully read, when she takes on the form of a human named Idris, she's shown to be incredibly bubbly and go-getting.
236%% * Similarly, Creator/EllenDeGeneres is very energetic.
237* ''Series/{{Firefly}}'': Kaylee.
238-->'''Jayne:''' Captain, can you stop her from being [[SunnySunflowerDisposition cheerful]], please?\
239'''Mal:''' I don't believe there's a power in the 'verse can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just want to duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.\
240'''Kaylee:''' ''(kisses Mal on the cheek)'' I love my captain.
241* ''Series/FullHouse'': Middle child Stephanie is perky, talkative and the most excitable of the girls. Unless Kimmy is around.
242* Creator/GiadaDeLaurentiis is a somewhat more sedate Genki Girl, also on Food Network. What probably helps is that, with that largish head and especially large eyes of hers, she even almost looks like a real-life anime girl. [[http://www.joeydevilla.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/giada-enthusiasm.jpg Or, to put it visually]]...
243* ''Series/GilmoreGirls'': Lorelai is perhaps one of the most chipper characters on the show. Her daughter Rory is the more grounded one, although she has her genki moments as well.
244* ''Series/GinnyAndGeorgia'': It's {{downplayed|Trope}} as she doesn't always act like this, but when in a good mood Max is bouncy, extremely cheerful and energetic.
245* ''Series/GirlMeetsWorld'': Riley Matthews is full of it. She always has a happy and bubbly attitude.
246* ''Series/{{Glee}}'': Rachel Berry is the triple-threat Genki Girl. She always signs her name with a gold-star sticker and wakes up every day at 6:00 for her daily exercise routine. She claims to have won her first dance competition at three months old.
247* ''Series/HannahMontana'':
248** Lilly, especially in her early tomboy days, is extremely extroverted and excitable. Creator/EmilyOsment often carries this into her 2014 show, ''Series/YoungAndHungry'', too.
249** To a lesser extent, Miley herself has a very energetic attitude, including her pop-star persona.
250%% * ''Series/{{Heroes}}'': Daphne must have been written with this trope firmly in mind.
251* ''Series/ICarly'': Carly, with her loud nature and her LargeHam tendencies, can be considered this. Their LoonyFan Mandy as well.
252* Ingrid Hoffman is relatively sedate on her English-language show, but watch her in Spanish... it's like Rachael Ray raided Giada's closet.
253* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'': At the start of her vampiric existence, Claudia is an exuberant and energetic girl, frequently running around the house even though Louis and Lestat repeatedly tell her not to.
254%% * ''Series/{{JAG}}'': Jennifer Coates.
255%% * ''Series/{{Jessie}}'': Emma.
256* Kwebbel and Smal from Creator/Studio100's ''Series/KabouterPlop'' series. They get easily excited compared to the other gnomes. Especially Kwebbel who gets excited very easily when certain events happen.
257* Nico Saiba of ''Series/KamenRiderExAid'' channels her hyperactive energy into her colorful dressing style, energetic personality, and tendency to redecorate the place she's staying at to match her style. No respect for personal space or material possession, either. Everything mentioned above is either a sign of her immature personality, trolling, or a bit of both. This kind of attitude often grates on the nerves of her doctor, [[HeroWithAnFInGood Taiga Hanaya]] a.k.a the poor sap who [[TheThingThatWouldNotLeave got stuck]] with [[MoralityPet her]].
258* ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'': Eliot Stabler's daughter is found in one episode wearing just a shower curtain and playing on the swings in a children's playground (ItMakesSenseInContext... up to a point, anyway); when challenged, she replies, "It's wonderful, Daddy! I'm flying, I'm flying!". It turns out that she has bipolar disorder and is in a manic state.
259* ''Series/LazyTown'': Stephanie is energetic and happy a lot of the time, and many of her songs are about getting up and moving.
260* ''Series/TheMiddle'': Sue has enough energy and enthusiasm to rival a cartoon character[[note]]Including [[WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil the cartoon character her actress would later play]][[/note]], but for some reason, she's always ignored by everyone and, as a running joke, nobody notices her or remembers her name. On the bright side, she at least appears to be cheerfully unaware of it.
261%% * ''Series/{{Mythbusters}}'': Jessie Combs. Kari slightly less so, but she also delves into this a lot.
262* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'': PerkyGoth Abby Scuito. If this show was a manga, she would be most likely to SayItWithHearts.
263* ''Series/OddSquad'': Olympia is far and away the most excitable and energetic member of the main cast, which helps with her {{Workaholic}} nature. And [[{{Fangirl}} whenever she's around Olive and Otto,]] her excitability rises. Her genki nature is a contrast with her partner Otis, who is more calm and reserved.
264* ''Series/OpenHeart'': Mikayla. She's super excited about helping Dylan find her dad. And also most other things.
265* ''Series/ParksAndRecreation'': hyper, perennially enthusiastic Leslie Knope, to the stoic chagrin of boss Ron Swanson.
266%% * ''Series/PushingDaisies'': [[TomboyishName Chuck]].
267* Creator/RachaelRay from her eponymous talk show. She purposely avoids "sob stories" and almost always has a smile on her face. She also works 100-hour weeks and is a rather shrewd businesswoman, and her energy and determination are usually quoted as the source of her success.
268* [[ForeignQueasine Sandra Lee]], once again from Food Network. She fits the "dosed up on caffeine" requirement.
269* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'':
270** Elliot Reid was for the most part of the first few seasons highly enthusiastic and quick-talking, tempered with bouts of self-doubt [[TheWoobie (audience: AWWWW!)]]. Her enthusiasm was more of a mask. She was very neurotic on the inside, due to bad childhood experience, overbearing parents, etc. She could be considered a Genki Girl later on, the way she pushes her boyfriends about (sometimes literally). This is a case of CharacterizationMarchesOn and EarlyInstallmentWeirdness. Elliot was initially portrayed as a competitive and smug know-it-all--her genki tendencies didn't show up until the second season.
271** PlayedForDrama with Denise, a paramedic Dr. Cox is forced to work with. She's eternally cheerful and babbles on and on about everything. It turns out that [[spoiler:her young son died in an accident years ago]].
272%% * ''Series/ShakeItUp'': [=CeCe=] and Rocky.
273%% * ''Series/{{Smallville}}'': Chloe Sullivan and Lois Lane are like this, and it's become a rather endearing trait in both of them.
274%% * ''Series/SonnyWithAChance'': Sonny Munroe.
275%% * ''Series/That70sShow'': [[Creator/MilaKunis Jackie Burkhardt]], particularly when she says, "Oh, my God!"
276%% * ''Series/TheAmazingRace'': Brook from season 17, who talked nonstop while working a speed bag and jumping rope. Also, Mallory from the same season.
277%% * ''Series/TheOC'': Taylor Townsend.
278%% * ''Series/TheOfficeUS'': Kelly and Erin.
279%% * ''Series/ThePattyDukeShow'': Patty Lane.
280* ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine:'' Julian Bashir is a male version of this at times in the early seasons, approaching everything with great excitement and basically never shutting up. He largely grows out of it as the series progresses due to being tempered by experience.
281* ''Series/{{Victorious}}'': Cat Valentine. Even though she's a MoodSwinger, she spends most of her time in happy mode.
282* ''Series/Warehouse13'': Claudia Donovan, a hyperactive, always-getting-into trouble tech wiz.
283* ''Series/WildRomance'': Kang Jong Hee is [[spoiler:bipolar, so she goes through periods of excitability and depression. When she's happy, she's]] exceedingly happy and takes to biting people.
284%% * ''Series/Zoey101'': Nicole Bristow.
285[[/folder]]
286
287[[folder:Music]]
288 * ''Music/DepecheMode'': The girl from "Happiest Girl". We don't really learn much about her other than she makes the protagonist happy as well and is [[PerpetualSmiler always smiling]], and at one point he mentions [[PokeThePoodle pinching her just to see if he can make her stop smiling for a second.]]
289* Kimi Ward Encarnacion, lead singer of [[TheNineties Nineties]] alternative band Moonpools & Caterpillars. Her signature live performance move was ''hopping'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzD2yZ1m0v4 up and down on stage]]. Even a 15-year hiatus couldn't [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLpJCdB4PWQ slow her enthusiasm]].
290* Music/{{Paramore}} frontwoman Hayley Williams is known for her extremely high-energy style.
291 [[/folder]]
292
293[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
294* Wrestling/MickieJames, though she fits the bill more when she was playing her psycho character. Her entrance theme was a SuspiciouslySimilarSong version of "Hey Mickie" and she would literally bounce all the way to the ring. She calmed the bouncing down after her HeelFaceTurn, but still fit the trope.
295* Wrestling/AJLee when she was on NXT season 3. Overly perky and energetic and she once appropriately had to give a speech about caffeine. "Caffeine will perk you up, but I'm some natural dynamite, baby."
296* Wrestling/ChristyHemme from the first Diva Search was like this, standing out as the only girl who actually had a lot of personality. Wrestling/TrishStratus even told her with her winnings she could go buy herself some decaf. Christy responded, "It's all natural."
297* Jessica James from the indie circuit and Wrestling/{{SHIMMER}} fame is like this as well. It rubbed off on her tag team partner Rachel Summerlynn when they formed Rachel and Jessica's Excellent Tag Team.
298* The appropriately-named Amber Lively from ''Wrestling/{{Wrestlicious}}'', the perky and fun-loving cheerleader. What's hilarious is that the woman who plays her (Madison Rayne) is known for playing [[AlphaBitch the exact opposite]] in TNA.
299* Canadian wrestler Jennifer Blake is in full-on genki mode whenever she works face. As a heel, not so much. It's still very appropriate that her nickname is "Girl Dynamite."
300* As a heel, Wrestling/{{Layla}} wavered between this and TheFool. After her HeelFaceTurn, she was a proper Genki Girl. She would even enthusiastically kiss a child in the crowd during her entrance.
301* {{Wrestling/Bayley}} eventually became this as a result of CharacterizationMarchesOn. Her character began as a starstruck fangirl who was a bit shy. Eventually she morphed into an energetic character who wanted to hug everyone. Her change in entrance themes to a more up-tempo song reflects this.
302* Wrestling/BeckyLynch whether heel or face is an aggressive headbanger who just seems to have unending sources of energy. A glance at interviews shows she's like this in real life too.
303* Male example with Welsh wrestler Mark Andrews, who borders on {{Keet}} territory at times. Just watching his ''entrance'' is exhausting. He seems to be like this most of the time, if interviews are any indication.
304[[/folder]]
305
306[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
307%% * A Wizards of the Coast free online supplement for ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons 3.5'' [[http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/mm/20040103a describes]] Mercury Dragons as such.
308* ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'': The ''Curse of the Crimson Throne'' AP gives us allied NPC Laori Vaus, the disturbingly enthusiastic cleric of a god of Pain and Loss. So genki, she creeps out other members of her church. The book she's introduced in includes the wonderful description of how she made her pilgrimage "Armed only with her indomitable optimism and an appetite for pain."
309* ''Blog/ThingsMrWelchIsNoLongerAllowedToDoInAnRPG'':
310-->"48. The elf is restricted to decaf for the rest of the adventure."
311[[/folder]]
312
313[[folder:Theatre]]
314* Hilde Wangel in ''Theatre/TheMasterBuilder'' by Creator/HenrikIbsen is probably one of the oldest examples. She is irresponsible, playful, and clearly after amusement. And when she gets Solness to climb the highest tower, like she has urged him to, she can't keep herself from jumping and waving her hat--and making him lose his balance and fall to the ground in the process. Her reaction is more bewildered than guilt-ridden.
315[[/folder]]
316
317[[folder:Visual Novels]]
318* ''Franchise/AceAttorney'':
319** Maya Fey in the Phoenix Wright arc, being a fangirl of the Steel Samurai and her tendency towards high-energy curiosity.
320** Trucy Wright in ''VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney'', due to her perky stage personality as a magician.
321** Kay Faraday in ''VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigations'', as the excitable HighlyVisibleNinja GentlemanThief. Her contrast with Miles Edgeworth brings it out more than the other assistant characters.
322** Ema Skye was this in her first appearance in the first game, being very enthusiastic about everything (though especially scientific things). She's less so in her reappearance in ''Apollo Justice''.
323** Athena Cykes in ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyDualDestinies''. Athletic and go-getting about nearly everything, she has a near-continuous need to be active (like she runs laps around the courthouse while waiting for a trial to start). [[spoiler:It could be said she acts this way to [[StepfordSmiler suppress the dark thoughts she's been carrying around since childhood]].]]
324* ''VisualNovel/Ascension2013'': Tillie, the TeamMom. Her relentless ''joie de vivre'' is frequently [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by the other characters; {{The Hero}}ine even refers to her as a "sugar-crazed alchemist dwarf." Proof: her reunion with The Heroine in the second chapter, in which she goes in for a big ol' [[TheGlomp glomp]]:
325-->'''Tillie:''' [[MotorMouth OHMYSPIRITSEANNAOLDKINGSGREATSTONES!!!! ICANTBELIEVEITSYOUICANTBELIEVEITSYOU!!!!!]]
326%% * Nelie and Orpha in ''VisualNovel/AseliaTheEternalTheSpiritOfEternitySword''. Nelie's twin Shiah looks like she's trying, but she's a little shy.
327* Hagino apparently has this role assigned to her in ''VisualNovel/Canvas2'' and is required to be cheerful or Hiroki will get upset.
328%% * ''VisualNovel/DaCapoII'' has Yuzu, one of the characters in Nanaka's route, who is as genki as they come, despite being ill.
329* ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'':
330** The [[VisualNovel/DanganRonpaTriggerHappyHavoc first game]] has [[spoiler:Genocide Jack]] describe herself as this. [[AxCrazy It is not an accurate description]].
331** ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'': Ibuki Mioda, the Ultimate Musician. She's prone to saying things twice when she gets particularly excited. When Hajime spends time with her, he notes that keeping up with her is an immense challenge (one event has her getting him to run laps around the island for no particular reason).
332* ''VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub'' has Sayori, the player character's childhood friend, a bright and cheery girl who seems to live to make everyone around her happy. [[spoiler: [[StepfordSmiler It's a coping mechanism she uses to hide her depression,]] [[DrivenToSuicide and it eventually stops working]].]]
333%% * ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'':
334%% ** ''Fujimura Taiga'' is an adult Genki Girl.
335%% ** Ilya is too, except she's a genki not-quite-evil girl who likes dismembering Shirou a bit too much. [[spoiler:Shirou also realizes after spending a little time with her that it's all an act and that in reality she's immensely conflicted inside about whether to treat Shirou as a brother or a usurper]].
336* ''VisualNovel/TheFruitOfGrisaia'': Makina is arguably the most energetic and random member of the cast, often exhausting or exasperating the others - and leaving them dumbstruck with her motor mouth when she doesn't.
337%% * Tsuzuriko/Tojiko in ''VisualNovel/KaraNoShoujo'' is your everyday genki girl, going to school at an academy full of near zombies. You might say she stands out a little.
338%% * ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'': Emi and Misha. However, they are rather...[[StepfordSmiler interesting variants]] of the trope. The former, [[spoiler:while she indeed is a cheery girl, it turns out she's not as drama (or trauma)-free as she initially seems. The loss of her legs was traumatic, but she learned to cope with that well. The loss of her ''[[DisappearedDad dad]]'' she did not cope with at all. Part of getting her happy ending is to help her deal with her loss]]. And for the latter, [[spoiler:it's partly a pretense to hide the emotional trauma of Shizune rejecting her love confession, as well as being [[LoveHurts a coping mechanism for said trauma]]]].
339* ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'': Haruka. Constantly running around causing mischief? Penchant for broadcasting her emotions at the top of her lungs? Acts like she's incapable of being serious for ten seconds at a time? Check, check, and check. She has HiddenDepths, though--she's well aware that she's very noisy and feels awkward around people like [[NoSocialSkills Rin]] who can't deal with that, and can be quite savvy when she puts her mind to things. [[spoiler:The whole thing is covering up a ''very'' screwed-up, insecure individual who has very, very good reasons for priding herself on causing commotions.]]
340* ''VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors'' zigzags on this with Clover. This is her default mood, but she also spends most of the game depressed and moody due to [[spoiler: her brother Snake's apparent death]]. When [[spoiler: it turns out that Snake is still alive]], she bounces back quickly and returns to her normal energetic self.
341%% * ''VisualNovel/SharinNoKuni'': Sachi. [[spoiler:Natsumi]] used to be one as well until [[spoiler:she was accused of "seducing" an upper-class boy and receiving her obligation. Natsumi gets hers back at the end of Chapter 5 and keeps it in the fandisc]].
342* ''VisualNovel/{{Sunrider}}'': Asaga Oakrun is the most energetic [[AMechByAnyOtherName Ryder]] pilot in your team, a self-styled "hero of justice" prone to spouting off lines like [[MemeticMutation "I'ma firin' mah lazors!"]] in the middle of combat, and a constant annoyance to your ship's disciplinarian because of her lack of it and her attempts to gamble with the crew during her downtime. In an aversion to the RPG aspect, her Ryder is the JackOfAllStats rather than a GlassCannon.
343%%* ''VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorial'' series: [[{{Kawaiiko}} Yumi Saotome]] and [[TheFashionista Yuko Asahina]] in ''1'', [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Hikari Hinomoto]], [[CuteClumsyGirl Miyuki Kotobuki]], and [[TwinSwitch Maho Shirayuki]] in ''2'', and [[{{Bokukko}} Itsuki Maeda]] and [[TwinSwitch Rui Nanakawa]] in ''4''. Yumi and Hikari even get [[SunnySunflowerDisposition the Sunflower]] as their [[FlowerMotifs symbolic flower]] to drive the genkiness point home.
344%% * ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'': Arcueid Brunestud when she's not out killing Dead Apostles and is spending time with Shiki instead.
345%% ** Kohaku definitely qualifies, too. [[{{Flanderization}} Especially]] in [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Kagetsu Tohya]] and ''Videogame/MeltyBlood''. [[spoiler:In the original game, though, this is subverted to point of being [[PlayerPunch a punch in the gut]]]].
346%% * ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'': Beatrice deliberately invokes this trope as per [[ServileSnarker Ronove]]'s suggestion at the start of the fourth arc to cheer up Battler after [[spoiler:she crushingly deceives him by the end of the third arc]]. However, it turns out that Battler got over that very quickly, and Beatrice just ends up making a complete idiot out of herself.
347* Mildly deconstructed with Akira Amatsume in ''VisualNovel/YosugaNoSora'' who gets so energetic and enthusiastic during the preparations of a festival that she overworks herself and collapses due to exhaustion.
348[[/folder]]
349
350[[folder:Web Animation]]
351* The thief from ''WebAnimation/DiamondJack'' is very cheerful and a charming {{Determinator}}, although she's also more [[DownplayedTrope composed]] than the usual.
352* ''WebAnimation/{{Dreamscape}}'': Anjren sometimes is, like when she gets amped up or excited about something.
353* ''WebAnimation/DSBTInsaniT'':
354** Kayla is very chatty and hyper.
355** Weird Girl is very...eccentric and talkative.
356* ''WebAnimation/ObjectMayhem'': Toast is basically one of the [[TheScrappy most hated characters]] in the series due to her extreme annoyance, overexcitement, exaggerations, candy-loving, and hyper personality.
357* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': Nora is an energetic [[MotorMouth non-stop talker]] who doesn't appear to have an off switch even at the crack of dawn. She's even accompanied by her own unique zany music score for when she really gets going. Contrast with her partner Ren, who [[NotAMorningPerson needs to be kicked out of bed in the morning]] and who [[TheQuietOne barely talks]]. Not even brushing her teeth or eating breakfast slows her down. The quietest and most still she gets is when the Headmaster is explaining their first task, but she interrupts him once and can be seen in the background bouncing energetically on her heels as she waits for the task to begin. Ren seems to tolerate her energy and MotorMouth with good humor and affection.
358[[/folder]]
359
360[[folder:Webcomics]]
361%% * ''Webcomic/AloneInACrowd'': Hope.
362* ''Webcomic/AngelMoxie'': Shugari, one of the BigBad's minions, is the embodiment of CuteIsEvil.
363* ''Webcomic/AnsemRetort'': Larxene. She's a homicidal version of this, once nuking Disney World because she couldn't get free Funnel Cake.
364* ''[[http://www.revenant-braves.schala.net Circumstances of the Revenant Braves]]'': Fio is a girl of action and gets restless when sitting around for too long. She even hopes for trouble if it will alleviate her boredom.
365%% * ''Webcomic/TheDevilsPanties'': Jennie.
366%% * ''Webcomic/{{Earthsong}}'': Felucca.
367%% * ''Webcomic/EarsForElves'': Myari is this, much to the chagrin of Elon, who is the other half of their [[SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl duo]].
368%% * ''Webcomic/EerieCuties'': Nina Delacroix.
369* ''Webcomic/{{Erma}}'': Erma's cousin Emily. It makes Erma nervous.
370* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'':
371** Grace fits this trope [[http://www.egscomics.com/sketchbook/?date=2002-08-18 sometimes]], though she also enjoys sleeping a lot. Sometimes, she combines the two, resulting in the invention of her legendary "Sleepy Little Ninja Stealth Hug"...
372** [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2007-09-29 Catalina Bobcat]], who can't even ask someone to keep something quiet quietly. "'''SHHHHH!!!'''"
373** Heidi, [[spoiler:Elliot's "party animal socialite" alter-ego]].
374--->[[MotorMouth Holy crap I feel like I just chugged down an espresso not literally of course that would hurt unless it]]...
375%% * ''Webcomic/GhastlysGhastlyComic'': Freddy is about as genki a girl as they get. (The genki part, anyway. [[spoiler:Freddie's as much a girl as she wants to be]].)
376* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'':
377** A [[CrossesTheLineTwice comically]] AxCrazy version--Bangladesh [=DuPree=]. Her [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20040121 first]] phrase in the comic is "''Ta daa! I'' am ''here!''" and on the next page she proclaims "''Nobody'' knows more [[TortureTechnician about torture]] than ''me''!"...just as cheerfully.
378%% ** Agatha when [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070525 she's]] [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070528 on coffee]] or other stimulation agents.
379* Alma of ''Webcomic/{{Godslave}}'' has all the syndromes, including breaking into squeeing over Anpu and constantly pestering Edith to go and ''do something!''
380* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'':
381** Jade Harley. Even her typing quirk is genki--omitting periods and overusing exclamation points and emoticons.
382** Nepeta wears a cute outfit and shows lots of enthusiasm. Her saccharine disposition is demonstrated as she demonstrates TheGlomp on her friend Equius. (Just after she [[CuteBruiser shreds a monster]] with her WolverineClaws.)
383** Feferi also tends to get overexcited about ''everything'' and frequently makes fish puns with glee, even when [[spoiler:she’s dead]].
384** Beforus gives us Latula, who is constantly on the go and obsessed with being TotallyRadical, and Meulin, a Website/{{Tumblr}} {{Fangirl}} parody prone to over-dramatic emotional declarations and gleeful [[ShipperOnDeck shipping]] dedication.
385%% ** Turns out that [[spoiler:Aradia]] used to be one of these -- though probably not to the extent of Jade or Feferi, and certainly not to the extent of Latula or Meulin--before she died.
386* ''Webcomic/ImpureBlood'': Mac [[https://web.archive.org/web/20100828080518/http://www.impurebloodwebcomic.com/Pages/Chapter007/ib040.html comes running to burble]] [[WrenchWench over the car]] and [[https://web.archive.org/web/20110811054321/http://www.impurebloodwebcomic.com/Pages/Issue3/ib061.html goes]] {{squee}} over the Abomination.
387* Sedine from ''ComicStrip/InSecurity'' tends to be childlike and energetic, much to her husband Sam's dismay.
388* ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'': The always-enthusiastic Molly the Peanut Butter Monster. It probably helps that she has a super-fast metabolism and can outrun a bear.
389** Floyd Fitznewski is a more obnoxious example. He's a grown adult with children of his own, but seems to live his life in a perpetual sugar-rush and will take any opportunity to deliver a "flying tackle" to... well, anyone.
390* ''Webcomic/{{Lackadaisy}}'': Ivy is actually based on a hyperactive cat that the author knew.
391* Cinnabar from ''Webcomic/LittleLapses'' is your typical hyperactive child. A loud motor-mouth who frequently fidgets, hops, and runs around.
392* ''Webcomic/M9Girls'': Clau is always hyperactive and overly optimistic.
393* ''Webcomic/AMagicalRoommate'': Daria is a genki dragon who was introduced to tools and became obsessed. Then she was introduced to modern technology...
394-->'''Aylia:''' Clearly, you've never witnessed [the] homework exploding machine.
395* ''Webcomic/MegaTokyo'': Asako is a [[http://megatokyo.com/strip/1181 Genki Girl of Mass Destruction]], and her friend Mami knows the arming codes. As Mami says, "Hey, I always reserve the right to use the 'Asako option'. You should know that by now."
396* ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'': Missi definitely qualifies. While not exactly hyper, she's drastically more energetic and upbeat than [[{{Wangst}} the rest of the cast]]. So far, nothing, not even being dumped, has been able to make her sad for more than a single panel.
397* ''[[http://www.monsterful.com/ Monsterful]]'': Sapphire. The energetic zombie teenager is way faster and louder than a zombie should be.
398* ''Webcomic/MurphysLaw'': Serrin. As an example, she [[TheGlomp energetically hugs]] an armed stranger.
399* ''Webcomic/MyImpossibleSoulmate'': The adorable fish girl Verity is very frequently excited.
400* ''Webcomic/OzyAndMillie'': The hyperactive, lovably eccentric Millie Mudd is a Genki Girl-in-training.
401%% * ''Webcomic/{{Pacificators}}'': [[TheDitz Larima]] [[BewareOfTheNiceOnes Torbern]] once accidentally wiped herself out after she took down an enemy.
402* ''Webcomic/{{Paranatural}}'': Suzy is a journalist version of this. Every time she appears, often or always around her "willing" assistant Collin, she's doing something over-the-top and insane. This mostly involves trying to get the main character Max to join the Journalism Club at the school. Or blackmail. And in the spinoff section, ''Supernormal'', she has a single appearance that further cements the evidence she's slightly off...and a fan of circular journalism. [[http://paranatural.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/SUPERNORMAL2.jpg See it here]].
403* ''Webcomic/PennyAndAggie'': Lisa and, to a lesser extent, Katy-Ann.
404-->"Dear Mr. President: I have solved the world's energy needs. All you need to do is put two girls I know on a treadmill."
405* ''{{Webcomic/Phantomarine}}'': [[https://www.phantomarine.com/comic/4-19-a-bite-of-brunch Lani is far too energetic for someone who's been a seagost for a while now]].
406%% * ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'': Randy the Bandicoot.
407%% * ''Webcomic/SchoolBites'': Sugar Shock.
408* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'': Kiki. The one time they fed her Pixy Stix, she [[ImpactSilhouette made a ferret-shaped hole in the wall]] and circled the Earth three times before the others had even reacted.
409%% * ''Webcomic/SoreThumbs'': Harmony.
410%% * ''Webcomic/SquidRow'': Spill is this sometimes.
411* ''Webcomic/SuperTemps'': Skull Girl. She has been barred from coffee and sugar twice, her outbursts can create walls of text, and her energy can demolish a multi-story corporate complex in minutes.
412* ''Webcomic/ThreeJaguars'': [[https://web.archive.org/web/20130317020316/http://threejaguarscomic.net/?comic=opportunity-cost-page-1 Marketer, with her boundless energy]].
413* ''Webcomic/{{Walkyverse}}'': Robin [=DeSanto=] from ''[[Webcomic/RoomiesItsWalkyJoyceAndWalky It's Walky!]]'' and ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'' is so genki it qualifies as a superpower. She moves like a bolt of lightning, smells like Skittles, and has less impulse control than your average three-year-old. She once ate a bowl of Cadbury cream eggs; next thing she knew, she'd been elected to Congress and had no idea how.
414%% * ''Webcomic/{{Weregeek}}'': Abby.
415%% * ''Webcomic/ZodiacBlues'': Nancy.
416[[/folder]]
417
418[[folder:Web Original]]
419* ''WebVideo/{{Dad}}'': Downplayed; Diane can be calm and rational, but is still highly energetic and extroverted, even being referred to by Cheryl as a "big ball of energy" and by Dad as impulsive and wild. She just enjoys life and likes to have as much fun and adventure as she can.
420%% * ''Website/GaiaOnline'': Rina and the {{squee}}s.
421* ''WebVideo/TheGumdrops'' Laura is very energetic and too quick to act on certain things. This was influenced by her actress Rebecca Rose Flynn - who was often cast as serious GirlNextDoor characters - but was fun and bubbly offscreen. The character was created for her to play someone close to her own personality.
422%% * ''Literature/LandGames'': Mei.
423* [[CuteGhostGirl Evelyn]] from ''Podcast/LessIsMorgue'' is an insanely excitable ghost girl who gets to giddy levels of enthusiasm over everything from dogs to Music/{{Nickelback}}.
424-->'''Evelyn:''' Did you know there are whole Website/{{Twitter}} accounts that just have pictures of dogs? I hadn't seen a dog in sixteen years, then boom, dogs everywhere! Dogs driving cars - can you believe that? Can you believe that there's a dog out there that can drive? I mean, how did the dogs learn how to drive? Is there a doggy driving school? I bet every dog that goes to driving school just aces it, because dogs are good at everything. I used to have a dog - she was a rescue and her name was Peppermint. She was a Pomeranian-Cross-Alaskan-Malamute, and--
425* ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest V4'': Maria Graham, who's an odd mix of Genki Girl, {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, and StepfordSmiler.
426* The French-Italian Website/{{YouTube}}r Creator/TessMasazza can be VERY enthusiastic and energetic [[https://youtu.be/AFpioZnakYE?t=24 when she is brought to a waterpark]].
427* ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'': Toni Chandler, AKA Chaka, is definitely a Genki Girl. She's learned to stay away from caffeine and sugar (and to be very careful with [[GRatedDrug chocolate]], which acts as an aphrodisiac for her).
428* ''Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical'': Ginny, as part of her ManicPixieDreamGirl persona. Cho comes close as well.
429%% * [[https://www.youtube.com/user/boxxybabee Boxxybabee]]. 'Nuff said.
430[[/folder]]
431
432[[folder:Western Animation]]
433* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': Francine. With her high energy, she can be somewhat crazy.
434%%* ''Franchise/{{Avatar|TheLastAirbender}}'' franchise:
435%%** ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': [[PerkyFemaleMinion Ty Lee]], in contrast to her {{Foil}}, EmotionlessGirl Mai.
436%%** ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'':
437%%*** The latest Avatar, Korra, in contrast to her mentor [[TheComicallySerious Tenzin]].
438%%*** One of Tenzin's children, Ikki, is this trope personified. Like Ty Lee and Korra, Ikki even has a foil to make her genki nature even more obvious (her [[SiblingYinYang sister]], [[CuteBookworm Jinora]]).
439%%* ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans'': Uniqua in spades. This is helped by the Japanese dub, where in a few episodes she says the word "genki" after introducing herself.
440%%* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'': Characters/{{Harley Quinn|TheCharacter}}.
441%%* ''WesternAnimation/CuriousGeorge'': A nonhuman example: Charkie.
442* ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'': Gadget is a very cheerful and energetic WrenchWench.
443* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'': Kuki "Numbuh 3" Sanban is, without doubt, the most bubbly and energetic ([[CuteButCacophonic often annoyingly so]]) member of Sector V. [[note]]Her mom's name is even "Genki." Oh, and they're [[ActingForTwo voiced by]] [[Creator/LaurenTom the same actress]].[[/note]]
444* ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'': Brittany. She's a bubbly, energetic, and ditzy blonde-haired GirlishPigtails-wearing cheerleader who just wants to make people happy. There are other examples on the show as well. Quinn lapses into this at times. Stacey maybe even more so.
445* ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'': Dee Dee, the hyperactive sister of Dexter.
446%%* ''WesternAnimation/ElTigre'': Frida Suarez.
447* ''WesternAnimation/FanboyAndChumChum'': Yo is so genki, she can appear in two places at once.
448* ''WesternAnimation/FetchWithRuffRuffman'': Season 2's Rosario Corso is a male example. He's usually very funny in the show, and the episode "Ruff's Big Break" goes to show just how hilarious he can be.
449%%** Bethany Owens, Talia Patapoutian, and Liza Giangrande in Season 4.
450* ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'': Goo is a straight-up example. Madame Foster herself sometimes fills this role, too, despite the fact that she's an old lady. Coco also shows elements of this at times, with a heavy dose of {{Cloudcuckoolander}} and TheUnintelligible.
451* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' introduced Puck in "The Mirror", a trickster elf of the Third Race. A bit more subdued than most examples, he is still one of the most energetic characters in the show; constantly floating or dancing around, befitting his carefree nature.
452* ''WesternAnimation/TheGhostAndMollyMcGee'': The titular character Molly is very excitable and energetic.
453* ''WesternAnimation/GlitchTechs'': Miko's one boisterous tomboy. Even while playing games, she tends to move and run around constantly.
454* ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'': Pistol is constantly hyper. As her neighbor Max once put it, "watching Pistol is like nailing Jell-O to a tree." Playing with her is considered a nuisance at best and outright torture at worst, and, if they can, people try to avoid the task or pass it on to others, usually stopping at ExtremeDoormat PJ unless he manages to hide. It's fairly surprising, considering that her father is very lazy and her mother and brother take turns being the OnlySaneMan.
455* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': Mabel Pines is loud, playful, and enthusiastic about just about everything ("Yay, grass!"). Her energy is justified since the show has frequent references to her [[SweetTooth sugar intake]].
456-->'''Wendy''': What is she talking about?
457-->'''Dipper''': Nothing! Mabel's just been eating raw sugar packets again.
458-->'''Mabel''': ''(Eating sugar packets)'' Om nom nom... that's beside the point!
459%%* ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw'': Birdgirl.
460* ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'':
461** Charlie Morningstar is a peppy and enthusiastic demon princess who's all fired up about the idea of rehabilitating demons and sending them to Heaven. Sometimes aggressively so.
462--->'''Charlie:''' Omigosh, welcome to the Happy Hotel! You are going to ''[[WingdingEyes LOVE IT HERE!!]]''
463** Niffty the maid is very hyperactive and zips around the hotel at incredible speed.
464%%* ''WesternAnimation/Hero108'': Mystique Sonia.
465* ''WesternAnimation/HeroElementary'' has two examples:
466** Sara Snap is definitely a feisty ball of energy whenever she's passionate about something, such as lifting heavy objects, or her sports idol Athletica.
467** Turbo Tina also falls into this thanks to her speed and Main/MotorMouth tendencies when she's excited.
468* ''WesternAnimation/HiHiPuffyAmiYumi'': Ami Onuki, who's ''very'' much this. Excitable, cheerful, always optimistic, and an all-around sweetie. Needless to say, whenever Ami gets all excited, she sometimes gets on [[DeadpanSnarker Yumi]]'s nerves as a result. For example, in "Collect All Five", there's this little exchange when Ami explains to Yumi about the Super Rainbow Blast cereal:
469-->'''Ami''': Isn't it awesome?!
470-->'''Yumi''': Yeah, awesomely sappy.
471%%* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'': Moofy, a one-shot character, is both a hilarious and downright scary example of this trope.
472%%* ''WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures'': Pepper Potts is a big-time Genki Girl.
473* A number of characters (female ''and'' [[GenderInvertedTrope male]]) in ''WesternAnimation/{{Jellystone}}'' have shades of this, but the one character who fully embodies the trope is the show's version of WesternAnimation/{{Jabberjaw}}.
474-->'''Jabberjaw''': Anybody wanna hear how loud I can scream? '''''[[GaleForceSound AAAAAAAAAH!!!]]'''''
475%%* ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'': Saffi.
476* ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'': June started out as one of these, as well as TheDitz. In season two, she's still this trope at times, but much more snarky. In season three, this starts to drop a little bit more as she becomes a sarcastic {{Jerkass}}, and by season four, this is gone and she became a slight example of the [[OnlySaneMan only sane girl]].
477* WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}} is perpetually cheerful, hyperactive, playful, and enthusiastic about almost everything.
478%%* ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012'': Minka Mark.
479%%** Especially Buttercream. [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Dear]] [[TalkativeLoon God]], ''[[BuffySpeak Buttercream]]''.
480* ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'': WesternAnimation/LolaBunny. She's an energetic {{Cloudcuckoolander}} with a MotorMouth.
481* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'': Leni, Luan, and Lily are very happy-go-lucky, Lynn is energetic enough to do many sports at once, and Luna is a rocker. Darcy also seems quite cheery, although she does cry when Lisa rejects her. Sid is also very upbeat and energetic and Polly Pain is energetic too.
482* ''WesternAnimation/TheMightyB'': Bessie Higgenbottom is an ambitious and optimistic 9-year-old Honeybee Scout who believes that she will become a superhero called "The Mighty B" if she collects every Honeybee badge.
483* ''WesternAnimation/MollyOfDenali'': Molly is a playful, happy-go-lucky girl. She loves coming up with crazy schemes and going on epic adventures.
484* ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'': Jenny is very bubbly and is shown to get excited easily. Her mother is also is very excitable and lively, so it's no surprise where she gets it from.
485* ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'':
486** From the original series, we have Surprise, whom FIM Pinkie is heavily based on. She enjoys pranking people, is very active, and is very loud.
487** ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyG3'': Pinkie Pie isn't ''quite'' as madcap as her ''FIM'' version, but she loves parties and is obsessed with the color pink.
488** ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
489*** [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicPinkiePie Pinkie Pie]] is this merged with {{Cloudcuckoolander}}. Her energy [[BreakingTheFourthWall breaks the fourth wall]] by pure accident! "Party of One" explores (and later deconstructs) this; there ''is'' a limit to her energy, but it is significantly higher than everyone else's. Then you watch her get angry and find out her energy can be used for more than just bouncing happily... "Too Many Pinkies" has Pinkie inadvertently creating an unruly horde of {{flanderiz|ation}}ed clones of herself. Her friends, used to Pinkie embodying this trope, can't tell the difference between the mindless clones who constantly spout "FUN!" and the real Pinkie. This causes Pinkie to have an existential crisis and seriously consider the possibility that [[CloneAngst she's just a clone who thinks she's real]].
490*** The Cutie Mark Crusaders. Individually, they're energetic. Together, they egg each other on and build off each other to astonishing lengths.
491*** [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicRainbowDash Rainbow Dash]], surprisingly, counts as well, especially in later episodes with her excitement over the new ''JustForFun/DaringDo'' book and the Equestria Games. In the latter, she flat-out channels Pinkie Pie for the whole episode.
492*** As "Amending Fences" reveals, Minuette, one of Twilight's old Canterlot friends, is a very upbeat girl. No wonder she and Pinkie are friends.
493*** Gabby Griffon is a griffon who's obsessed with getting a cutie mark of her own (despite it being a pony-only trait) and a major [[TheGlomp glomp]]. Even the Cutie Mark Crusaders find her energy overwhelming.
494*** Silverstream the Hippogriff is absolutely fascinated by everything on the surface world after she spent most of her life in a coral reef underwater.
495*** One-shot character [[{{Kirin}} Autumn Blaze]] may be an even bigger MotorMouth than Pinkie Pie. Given that her fellow Kirin decided to stop talking, it's not surprising she'd have a lot to say.
496* ''WesternAnimation/{{Mysticons}}'': Piper is extremely energetic, often doing acrobatic moves (such as flips) and having some pretty energetic responses when she figured out a riddle or if she's excited.
497* ''WesternAnimation/{{Numberjacks}}'': A lot of characters seem to fit this trope, but Three is the most recognisable example. Getting jumpy and excited, especially when she's going out on missions. Is it any wonder Four, Five, and Six sometimes consider her a handful?
498* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': [[Characters/TheOwlHouseLuzNoceda Luz Noceda]] is an energetic and playful teenage girl who's enthusiastically learning to become a witch. Her bright personality also allows her to slowly make the Boiling Isles a more upbeat and friendly place [[TheIngenue due to winning over it's inhabitants with her sunny and energetic personality]]. [[spoiler:Over the course of the show however, her brightness and positivity are gradually worn down as a consequence of all of the traumatic events to happen to her and her loved ones to the point that in "Thanks to Them", Luz is now a listless and self loathing BrokenBird. Fortunately, in "For the Future", she learns to become herself again.]]
499%%* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'': Candace Flynn. Her energy levels can rival her brothers, for starters.
500* ''Franchise/ThePowerpuffGirls'': Bubbles is, fittingly enough, the most [[{{Pun}} bubbly]] of the girls, having their "joy and the laughter". Don't think for a second, though, that she cannot be hardcore. Mojo Jojo learned that the hard way.
501* ''WesternAnimation/PuppyDogPals'' has two girl pups Keia and Lollie who are both very energetic.
502* ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'': Mindy is a highly bubbly and energetic CheerfulChild.
503* ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'': Cindy, one of the kindergartners. Miss Grotke can be a mild example at times.
504* ''WesternAnimation/RoliePolieOlie'' has Zowie, the younger sister of the titular Olie. Most child characters in the series are [[CheerfulChild cheerful children]], but she easily takes the cake by being the most hyperactive and rambunctious out of all of them. She is outgoing and welcoming to nearly everyone she meets, and often happily cries "Olie Olie Olie Olie!" whenever her brother comes into the picture.
505%%* ''WesternAnimation/RubyGloom'': Iris.
506* ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst'': In stark contrast to her owner, who is shy when Sofia first meets her, Crackle is an excitable dragon who likes tackle-hugging any new friend she meets, especially Clover.
507* ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks'': Ensign Tendi is a bouncy EnsignNewbie who approaches even the most boring jobs on the ''Cerritos'' with [[ThePollyanna glee]].
508* ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'': [[Characters/StarVsTheForcesOfEvilStarButterfly Star Butterfly]], who takes this as far as the meter goes and more. She is a hyperactive teenage girl whose hobbies include fighting monsters, going on dangerous adventures, and using her wand's powers to create anything she wants, such as adorable animals or indoor water slides.
509%%* ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever'': Batgirl. Her ''[[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries The New Batman Adventures]]'' incarnation is this at times.
510* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'': Starfire. All that emotional energy is the source of her superpowers. 'Joy' for Flight, 'confidence' for super strength, and general perkiness.
511* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'':
512** Izzy. So genki, that she's even enthusiastic about getting poison ivy wrapped around her face as part of a challenge.
513** Sierra is almost as hyper and energetic as Izzy, further exacerbated by her [[{{Fangirl}} fangirliness]].
514** Lindsay also counts as well. She's really bubbly and energetic, and tends to get excited if she sees something she likes. She's really cheerful and, despite being a DumbBlonde, always makes up for her mistakes with her positive attitude and kind-hearted personality.
515* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaPresentsTheRidonculousRace'': Kitty is quite upbeat and tries to look on the bright side of grave situations.
516* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'': Miko, who transferred to an American school to escape a life of piano lessons and ends up in the middle of a war between alien robots, to her absolute delight. She's voiced by Creator/TaniaGunadi, who is good at these in many of her roles.
517* If you thought this type couldn't be evil, check out ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'''s [[SheIsTheKing Lord Dominator]], KnightOfCerebus, VilerNewVillain, and OmnicidalManiac to boot. Per the creators, she was intentionally written as a character whose [[EvilFeelsGood enthusiasm for evil]] matches AllLovingHero Wander's [[GoodFeelsGood enthusiasm for good]].
518* ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'': Hay Lin loves life, designing clothes, painting, and [[BlowYouAway sending armies of mooks flying with a wave of her arm]].
519%%* ''The WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker Show (1999)'': Winnie Woodpecker.
520* ''WesternAnimation/WorkItOutWombats'': Zadie loves zooming from place to place and forming hundreds of ideas at once.
521* ''WesternAnimation/WorldOfWinx'' has Lorelei, who replaced Bloom as co-host of "Wow!" because of a . . . [[FakeHairDrama certain incident between Bloom and show host Ace]]. She is excitable, [[TheDitz ditzy]] . . . and slightly obnoxious.
522* ''WesternAnimation/XavierRiddleAndTheSecretMuseum'': Just like her brother, Yadina is eager and enthusiastic about pretty much anything.
523* ''WesternAnimation/ZigAndSharko'': Marina the mermaid, who gets excited about every little thing, even when Sharko is the one doing it.
