History Main / FourGirlEnsemble

** [[SharonSmall Trudi]]: A blend of TeamMom and the "sweet and naive" type. A 9/11 widow with two children; has a tendency to get caught in awkward situations. The most motherly.

* ''{{High School Musical}}'' has [[{{ShrinkingViolet}} Kelsi]] as the sweet, quiet one, [[{{ControlFreak}} Taylor]] as the snarky one ''[[note]]'' (while not mannish she's extremely outspoken and determined), [[/note]] [[{{RichBitch}} Sharpay]] as the sexy, fashionable one and [[{{HiddenDepths}} Gabriella]] as the mature, wise one.

* The [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Amazoness Quartet]] in ''Manga/SailorMoon''. [=PallaPalla=] is the naive childlike one and [=JunJun=] the tomboy (she even uses informal male speech patterns). [=VesVes=] gives the image of the sexy one with her whip but actually splits the mannish role with [=JunJun=], and while [=CereCere=] is sexy and glamorous, she tries to be the most mature of the four.
** This is because the Quartet are counterparts of the Inner Senshi (excluding Manga/SailorMoon herself), who also form a FourGirlEnsemble. So do the Ayakashi Sisters, their counterparts in the second season.
*** Ami/Mercury is The Smart One and TheQuietOne, Rei/Mars is the {{Ojou}} and the DeadpanSnarker, Makoto/Jupiter is The Tomboy (in the anime) and the TeamMom (in the manga), and Minako/Venus combines The Sexy One and TheDitz.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy both in the role of the sweet, naive one, Applejack and Rainbow Dash both in the role of the tomboy, Rarity in the role of the glamour girl, and Twilight Sparkle in the role of the smart one/big sister.

* The BabysittersClub-esque ''GirlTalk'' books had Sabrina, the ditzy, bubbly everygirl; Katie, the perfect, blonde-haired, blue-eyed athlete; Allison, the quiet, bookish TokenMinority; and Randy, the [[{{Badbutt}} "cool"]] one, who was from New York and had a skateboard and played the drums and [[HumorDissonance was probably intended to be]] the DeadpanSnarker.

** KOF 99/2001: King (mature, but also [[Bifauxnen mannish]]), Mai Shiranui/Blue Mary Ryan (sexy CoolBigSis types), Li Xiangfei (GenkiGirl and BigEater) and Kasumi Todoh (naive, somewhat reluctant YamatoNadeshiko)
** KOF 2000: Kasumi Todoh (may pass for mature in her LadyOfWar moments), Mai Shiranui (sexy), Yuri Sakazaki (GenkiGirl) and Hinako Shijou ([[SpoiledSweet naive]])

** KOF 99: King (mature), Blue Mary Ryan (sexy), Kasumi Todoh (GenkiGirl, sorta) and Li Xiangfei (naive)
** KOF 2000: Kasumi Todoh (SORTA the mature one), Mai Shiranui (sexy), Yuri Sakazaki (GenkiGirl) and Hinako Shijou (naive)
** KOF 2001: King (back to mature), Mai Shiranui (sexy), Li Xiangfei (GenkiGirl) and Hinako Shijou (naive)

* The ''{{Discworld}}'' fic, ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5055274/1/The-Graduation-Class The Graduation Class]]'' covers four mature entrants through their training to become full Assassins. The four women candidates fill these four niches: Johaana Smith-Rhodes is the pretty ditz, Alice Band the mannish rather butch one, Emmanuelle Lapoignard les Deux-Epees is the one who's been around the block a few times (Alice snarkily sums the three up as ''the virgin, the dyke and the nymphomaniac. What a trio we make.'') They are bonded together by the older Team Mum type, Joan Sanderson-Reeves.

* In ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'', Oberyn Martell's four adult daughters are known as the Sand Snakes, and are quite the BadassFamily. Obara is a butch ActionGirl; Nymeria is a beautiful seductress and KnifeNut; Tyene is a FakeCutie, outwardly a sweet, pious girl in training to be a priestess and secretly a MasterPoisoner. Their brainy, guileful, master-archer fourth sister Sarella is not introduced with the others, but there are strong hints that she is DisguisedInDrag as "[[SdrawkcabName Alleras]] the Sphinx" in order to infiltrate the SingleGenderSchool where Maesters are trained.

* The four Cullens women of Literature/{{Twilight}} are the snarky Bella, pixie-like Alice, elegant Rosalie, and the motherly Esme.

->~ ''SisterhoodOfTheTravelingPants''

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' gives us the Ashleys. Blonde leader Ashley A., African-American and snarky Ashley B., athletic FieryRedhead Ashley Q., and Hispanic and quiet Ashley T.

* GirlGroup [[TheXFactor Little Mix]]: Perrie is the sweet naive one, Leigh is the DeadpanSnarker, Jesy is the glamorous one, and Jade is the Mother..

* Liv world features a BrainyBlonde, a clumsy tomboy, a fashion-savy black girl, and a drama queen (is she hispanic, or asian?).

* ''Manga/KOn'' has [[TheDitz ditzy]] Yui, [[GenkiGirl genki]] Ritsu, the outstandingly attractive though withdrawn Mio, and [[TheOjou the very wealthy]] yet warm and friendly Mugi. [[TheSixthRanger Then Azusa joins the club.]]

* ''SchoolRumble'''s primary cast locks up. Innocent and naive Tenma, tomboyish Mikoto, the {{Ojou}} Eri, and Akira, the silent, snarky observer.

* ''Anime/LuckyStar'' brings us two sets of four girls (they were even grouped as such in their ImageSong releases).

* ''{{K-On}}'' has [[TheDitz ditzy]] Yui, [[GenkiGirl genki]] Ritsu, the outstandingly attractive though withdrawn Mio, and [[TheOjou the very wealthy]] yet warm and friendly Mugi. [[TheSixthRanger Then Azusa joins the club.]]

* ''FreshPrettyCure'': [[GenkiGirl excitable]] Love/Cure Peach, down-to-earth Miki/Cure Berry, [[ShrinkingViolet introverted]] Inori/Cure Pine, and misunderstood yet tranquil [[HeelFaceTurn former villain]] Setsuna/Cure Passion.

* Manga/{{Bleach}}: Harribel (TeamMom), Sun-Sun (TheQuietOne), and Apache and Mila-Rose share the mannish role. No GenkiGirl to be found.

* ''Manga/ToAruKagakuNoRailgun'' has the {{Tomboy}} Misaka, the {{Ojou}} [[LoveableSexManiac Kuroko]], the {{Adorkable}} Uiharu and the one who [[StepfordSmiler tries to be]] a GenkiGirl Saten.
** Similarly, Team ITEM from [[ToAruMajutsuNoIndex both]] [[Manga/ToAruKagakuNoRailgun series]] fits this with the {{Yandere}} [[spoiler:Mugino]], the IllGirl Rikou, the GenkiGirl Saiai, and the MadBomber BadassNormal Frenda. [[spoiler:They lose this trope after Frenda dies and is eventually replaced by Shiage.]]
* TanteiOperaMilkyHolmes: Has TheDitz Sherlock/Sheryl, {{Bokukko}} Nero, CloudCuckooLander Cordelia and the ShrinkingViolet Hercule. Also G4 has {{Jerkass}} Kokoro, HugeSchoolgirl Tsugiko, TheStoic Saku and the polite [[TapOnTheHead Karate-chopping]] Hirano.

* ''YuruYuri'' has Akari (TheDitz), Yui (DeadpanSnarker), Kyouko (WildCard), and Chinatsu, who has the most obvious desires toward [[LesYay another classmate.]] There's also an ensemble of four student council members, composed of three tsunderes and a ShipperOnDeck.

[[caption-width-right:350:Clockwise from left - Michelle ('pretty'), Maggie ('mannish'), Anita ('childish'), Nenene ('TeamMom').]]

* GirlGroup [[TheXFactor Little Mix]]: Jade is the sweet naive one, Jesy is the DeadpanSnarker, Leigh-Anne is the glamorous one, and Perrie is the WildCard [[TheLeader leader]], vocally.

* In ''FanFic/{{Horseshoes and Hand Grenades}}'', the Kamen Rider Club Girls consist of LovableAlphaBitch Miu Kazashiro, GenkiGirl and {{Otaku}} Yuki Jojima, PerkyGoth Tomoko Nozama and CoolBigSis Erin Suda.

* The original four members of ''The BabysittersClub'': Kristy is the tomboy, Mary Anne is shy and gentle, Claudia is TheDitz, fashionable and boy-crazy, and Stacey who is like Claudia but a more sophisticated math genius who is looked up to because she's from New York.

The wild card might be TheSmartGal or the CoolBigSis but not the TeamMom. In that case the mother figure will be be doubled up with either the sweet-naive girl, the sexy girl or even [[TeamDad the mannish one]].
