History Main / FourGirlEnsemble

* Female members of your squad in VideoGame/MassEffect2 include Tali (Not really naive, but quite sweet), Jack (very mannish), Miranda (sexy, cynical), and Samara (wise, motherly). The addition of Liara as a GuestStarPartyMember and Kasumi in DLC mods throws off the dynamic a bit.

** The later [[InSeriesNickname Clone Club]] additions: Krystal is TheFashionista ValleyGirl (the sexy ''[[MsFanservice and]]'' pretty one), Charlotte is the good-mannered TagalongKid (sweet one), M.K. is the elusive hacker (intelligent), and Tony is the butch one (mannish, [[{{Transgender}} in the literal sense of the word]]).

* ''Women's Murder Club''

* ''OTMA'', a play that hypothetically explores the [[RulingFamilyMassacre last days]] of the real daughters of [[UsefulNotes/RomanovsAndRevolutions Nicholas II]], has the intelligent Olga, haughty Tatiana, sweet Marie, and mischevious tomboy Anastasia.

* ''Manga/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.

* ''Girls on Top'' (Creator/Channel4's DistaffCounterpart to ''Series/TheYoungOnes''): Jennifer is TheDitz (bordering on CloudCuckooLander), Amanda is a StrawFeminist, Candice ReallyGetsAround, and Shelley is the WildCard who takes charge... not in a TeamMom way, but in a "I'm the only one who can remotely afford the rent here, so do as I say or else I'll leave" way.

* Played with somewhat on ''Series/PrettyLittleLiars'': Hanna definitely fits the glamor-obsessed role; Emily is sort of mannish, insofar as she is an athlete (and a lesbian, but a rather [[LipstickLesbian feminine]] one), although she is definitely not the DeadpanSnarker of the group; Aria is the sweet one, although not naive; Spencer is definitely the WildCard, and the DeadpanSnarker, and she is generally also the one who holds the group together, although more through [[{{Determinator}} sheer determination and iron will]] than by being the TeamMom.

** Still applicable with only female party members: Bethany as the sweet, naive one (at least in Act 1), Aveline as the masculine one, Isabela as the sexual one, and Merrill as the wild card (on account of her blood magic and/or her CloudCuckoolander nature).

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has the alicorns (as of season 4 and beyond): Luna (naive), [[spoiler:Twilight Sparkle]] (snarky), Cadence (glamorous), Celestia (wildcard, Team Mom, trickster).

* Played with somewhat on ''Series/PrettyLittleLiars'': Hanna definitely fits the glamor-obsessed role; Emily is sort of mannish, insofar as she is an athlete (and a lesbian, but a rather [[LipstickLesbian feminine]] one, although she is definitely not the DeadpanSnarker of the group; Aria is the sweet one, although not naive; Spencer is definitely the WildCard, and the DeadpanSnarker, and she is generally also the one who holds the group together, although more through [[{{Determinator}} sheer determination and iron will]] than by being the TeamMom.

* WebVideo/CreamHeroes: The four female cats; Chuchu (sweet and childlike), Lala (the pretty one liked by all the male cats- except Dodo), TT (the gruff [[ActionGirl action girl]] although she will occasionally slip into the mother role), and Nana who is literally a mother cat and extends this role to the adult cats (namely Lulu) as well as her kittens.

* Team ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}''. 'Nuff said.

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

* ''Film/HighSchoolMusical'' has [[ShrinkingViolet Kelsi]] as the sweet one, [[ControlFreak Taylor]] as the snarky one, [[RichBitch Sharpay]] as the sexy, fashionable one and [[HiddenDepths Gabriella]] as the thoughtful, wise one.

* 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 with a penchant for spears; 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 fourth sister Sarella is not introduced with the others, but there are strong hints that she is DisguisedInDrag as brainy, guileful master archer "[[SdrawkcabName Alleras]] the Sphinx" in order to infiltrate the OneGenderSchool where Maesters are trained.
** Without Sarella, the fourth spot is filled by their cousin Arianne, who is very sexy too, but most fills the role of the narrator/Team Mom.
* The four Cullen women of ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' are the snarky Bella, pixie-like Alice, elegant Rosalie, and the motherly Esme.

* ''Film/HighSchoolMusical'' has [[ShrinkingViolet Kelsi]] as the sweet 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.

* ''Series/DerryGirls'': The main cast consists of this plus TheOneGuy James. There's {{Cloudcuckoolander}} Orla (the naive one), who's too out of it to ever bother anyone most of the time, lesbian Clare (the snarky, smart one), who flip-flops between being the OnlySaneMan and a NervousWreck, the (allegedly) promiscuous HardDrinkingPartyGirl Michelle (the sexy one), who's always talking about sex and boys, and the narrator Erin (the admirable one), who thinks of herself as cultured, WiseBeyondHerYears writer, though [[NotSoAboveItAll she's just as prone to mistakes and tomfoolery]] as everyone else. Although cousins Erin and Orla are approximately the same age, they interact as if Orla was the AnnoyingYoungerSibling.

* ''Literature/MatesDatesSeries'': Nesta is the pretty one, Izzie is the Deadpan Snarker, Lucy is the sweet/innocent one, and TJ is the smart one.

Although cousins Erin and Orla are approximately the same age, they interact as if Orla was the AnnoyingYoungerSibling.

* ''Series/DoctorWho'': The first four companions of the new series fit this trope. Rose Tyler is sweet and naive (although she becomes wiser as the series progresses), Martha Jones is smart and practical, Donna Noble is feisty and outspoken, and Amy Pond, who attempts to seduce the Doctor, is the sexy one.

* In ''WebVideo/TheMarchFamilyLetters'', a SettingUpdate of ''Literature/LittleWomen'', Meg is the sensible TeamMom, Jo the DeadpanSnarker, Beth is the sweet/naive one and Amy is the flirty, girly girl.

* ''WebVideo/TheLizzieBennetDiaries'' has Lizzie as the DeadpanSnarker, Jane as the sweet one, Lydia as the sexy one, and Charlotte as the smart one.
* ''WebVideo/TheMarchFamilyLetters'', a SettingUpdate of ''Literature/LittleWomen'', has Meg as TeamMom, Jo as DeadpanSnarker, Beth as the naieve one and Amy in the SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan role.

Although cousins Erin and Orla are approximately the same age, they interact as if Orla was the AnnoyingYoungerSibling.

* Cathy Hopkins 'Mates, Dates' series has this with wise Izzy, sweet Lucy, bookish tomboy TJ and flirty Nesta.

* The Creator/VCAndrews miniseries, ''Literature/{{Orphans}}'':
** Butterfly: Naive, sweet, childlike.
** Brooke: Mannish (not really, but she is a tomboy)
** Raven: Sexy one.
** Crystal: Team Mom, responsible.

* ''Series/TheGoldenGirls'': Rose is the ditz, Blanche is the slut, Dorothy is the snarker, and Sophia (Dorothy's mother) the Team Mom. Despite age, Sophia is kind of more the snarker and Dorothy is more the level-headed "mother" type.
* ''Series/TheFactsOfLife'': Blair (glamour-obsessed pretty one), Jo (tomboyish, straight-laced one), Tootie (sweet-naïve, one) & Natalie (quirky, odd one) (students/roommates).

* ''Series/{{Girlfriends}}'': Joan Clayton (smart, straight-laced one), Antoinette 'Toni' Garrett (glamour-obsessed pretty one), Maya Wilkes (streetsmart one) & Lynn Searcy (quirky, odd one) (students/roommates).
* ''Series/SexAndTheCity'': Charlotte (Idealistic, slightly naive, The "Park Avenue Pollyanna"), Samantha (slutty, cynical), Miranda (Deadpan-snarky, career-focused, less glamourous than her friends), & Carrie (romantic and the {{narrator}} who sees everyone's foibles)
* Series/{{Switch2012}} : Grace as the youngest of the group is ostensibly the identification character. Hannah is the useless Naive one and TheDitz. Stella is the DeadpanSnarker. And Jude ReallyGetsAround.
* ''Series/DoctorWho'': The first four companions of the new series fit this trope. Rose Tyler is sweet and naive (although she becomes wiser as the series progresses), Martha Jones is smart and practical, Donna Noble is feisty and outspoken, and Amy Pond, who attempts to seduce the Doctor, is the sexy one.

* ''Women's Murder Club''
* ''Series/{{Privileged}}'': Megan (fulfilling the TeamMom role for both the twins and her own sister), Lily (the sexy one, more towards the ReallyGetsAround end of the scale), Rose (the well-meaning but not too bright Ditz) and Sage (the cynic and DeadpanSnarker)

* The girls of ''Music/SClub7'' were portrayed this way on their TV show. Hannah was TheDitz, Jo was the mannish one, Rachel was the glamorous one obsessed with her looks, and Tina was the wise one.
* Although not all four ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'' Ones were on the show at he same time (since Prue [[McLeaned died]] before Paige was introduced), the sisters still fit this trope. Paige was TheDitz, Piper was the DeadpanSnarker, Phoebe was the [[InformedAttractiveness sexy one]], and Prue was the wise CoolBigSis. Before Paige, Phoebe played a combination of the sexy one and The Ditz. Once Prue passed away, Piper took on her role as the wise Cool Big Sis but still had her Deadpan Snarker traits in tact.
* ''Series/BeverlyHills90210'': Annie is the sweet naive girl, Silver is the DeadpanSnarker, Adrianna is the one obsessed with glamour and fame, and Naomi serves as the mother figure for the group.
* In the original ''Series/BeverlyHills'', Donna was the sweet naive one, Brenda was the DeadpanSnarker, Kelly was the pretty one, and Andrea was the smart one.
* ''Series/PanAm'': Laura is the sweet, naive one, Maggie is self-righteous and free-spirited, Colette is sexy and romantic and Kate is the independent, TeamMom type (and CoolBigSis to Laura).
* ''Girls on Top'' (Creator/Channel4's DistaffCounterpart to ''Series/TheYoungOnes''): Jennifer is TheDitz (bordering on CloudCuckooLander), Amanda is a StrawFeminist, Candice ReallyGetsAround, and Shelley is the WildCard who takes charge... not in a TeamMom way, but in a "I'm the only one who can remotely afford the rent here, so do as I say or else I'll leave" way.
* ''Series/{{Victorious}}'': Tori is the main character, the jack-of-all-trades in terms of talent and the most "normal" of the group. Tori's sister Trina is obsessed with fashion and quite ditzy and girly, Cat is childlike and naive, and Jade is the snarky bad girl of the group.
* The girls on, well, ''Series/{{Girls}}''. Marnie is the level-headed, smart one, Jessa is the sexy free spirit, Shoshanna is the naive [[TheDitz ditz]], and Hannah is the lazy snarker.
* The four students on ''Series/{{Bunheads}}''. The show hasn't been on long enough to tell but so far Boo is the sweet one, Sasha is the glamorous IceQueen, Melanie has elements of being TheDitz, and Ginny is the smart one.
* Played with somewhat on ''Series/PrettyLittleLiars'': Hanna definitely fits the glamor-obsessed role; Emily is sort of mannish, insofar as she is an athlete (and a lesbian, but a rather [[LipstickLesbian feminine]] one, although she is definitely not the DeadpanSnarker of the group; Aria is the sweet one, although not naive; Spencer is definitely the WildCard, and the DeadpanSnarker, and she is generally also the one who holds the group together, although more through [[{{Determinator}} sheer determination and iron will]] than by being the TeamMom.
* The early-to-mid 90's NBC series ''Sisters''. Interestingly, it was the second-''youngest'' sister Georgie who took on the TeamMom role.
* The ladies in waiting on ''Series/{{Reign}}'' are four friends. Lola is the strongest one, not afraid of death or speaking out, even to a queen. Greer is ambitious for her family's sake even though she does believe in the power of love. Kenna is a real firecracker which makes her unpredictable and totally captivating. Aylee is the most reserved, acting as the voice of caution out of concern for her friends.
* ''Series/GilmoreGirls'' uncomfortably fits protagonist Rory into this kind of clique in her high-school years. PParis is the DeadpanSnarker, Louise the sexy ReallyGetsAround type, Madeline is TheDitz and Rory is the admirable narrator.
* ''Series/OrphanBlack'' has two sets.
** The main clone quartet: Sarah is the RebelliousSpirit (tomboy), Alison is the glamorous and cultured soccer mom (feminine), Cosima is the resident scientist and OnlySaneMan (intelligent), and Helena is [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} mostly stuck in her own world]] but is nonetheless a loyal sister ([[PsychopathicManChild a rather dark version of the sweet one]]).
** The later [[InSeriesNickname Clone Club]] additions: Krystal is TheFashionista ValleyGirl (the sexy ''[[MsFanservice and]]'' pretty one), Charlotte is the good-mannered TagalongKid (sweet one), M.K. is the elusive hacker (intelligent), and Tony is the butch one (mannish, [[{{Transgender}} in the literal sense of the word]]).
* ''Series/TheAmandaShow'' had a skit called The Girls' Room. It had glamourous, popularity-obsessed AlphaBitch Amber (a sexy one), tough, intimidating [[SassyBlackWoman Sassy Black Girl]] Sheila (a tomboyish one), sweet-natured but completely airheaded [[TheDitz Ditz]] Debbie (a sweet-naive one), and relatively nice and down-to-earth SouthernBelle Tammy (an admirable one).
* ''Series/DerryGirls'': The main cast consists of this plus TheOneGuy James. There's {{Cloudcuckoolander}} Orla, who's too out of it to ever bother anyone most of the time, lesbian Clare, who flip-flops between being the OnlySaneMan and a NervousWreck, the (allegedly) promiscuous HardDrinkingPartyGirl Michelle, who's always talking about sex and boys, and the narrator Erin, who thinks of herself as cultured, WiseBeyondHerYears writer, though [[NotSoAboveItAll she's just as prone to mistakes and tomfoolery]] as everyone else. Although cousins Erin and Orla are approximately the same age, they interact as if Orla was the AnnoyingYoungerSibling.

* ''OTMA'', a play that hypothetically explores the [[RulingFamilyMassacre last days]] of the real daughters of [[RomanovsAndRevolutions Nicholas II]], has the intelligent Olga, haughty Tatiana, sweet Marie, and mischevious tomboy Anastasia.

* ''American Street'' by Ibi Zoboi focuses on a young Haitian girl who immigrates to Detriot and lives with her aunt and three cousins. Her cousins as a whole are called "The Four Bees": Eldest Chantal is something of the TeamMom and the one who could have gone to an Ivy League had it not been for her mother's health is "Brains", twin Donna is the sexy one who is "Beauty" and dates a drug-dealer who beats her, ButchLesbian twin Pri (TomboyishName for "Princess") is the "Brawn" who constantly combats people, and NaiveEverygirl and NiceGirl Fabioula is a good student who is trying to navigate the dysfunction of her new surroundings and American culture while holding on to her Haitian values and spirituality while questioning the actions of her family and circumstances is "Brave".
* ''Literature/FortyFiveMasterCharacters'' is a [[BooksOnTrope Book on Trope]] that has eights types of heroines, and while different combinations could work, in general the Persephone / Artemis / Aphrodite / Hera types fit for those of this trope.
* ''Literature/TheCompleteWritersGuideToHeroesAndHeroines'' details different types of heroines generally found in the {{romance}} genre. The three closest to this trope are Spunky Kid / Boss / Seductress / Nurturer.
* ''Literature/LittleWomen'' is the TropeCodifier: Meg, the oldest, is [[TeamMom the lecturer and mature example-setter]] who wants a husband and family; Jo is the tomboy who wants a career, fame, and fortune; Beth is the shy, gentle and musical one who wants to stay with her family; Amy is the vain and spoiled but later artistic and flirty young lady who wants to marry someone with money.
* The ''Literature/ChaletSchool'' has the Quartet in the early books. Joey is the tomboy and the leader, Simone is the temperamental ClingyJealousGirl, Frieda is the TeamMom and the best-behaved, and Marie is the pretty one.
* The original four members of ''Literature/TheBabySittersClub'': Kristy is known for her leadership skills and great ideas, which along with her outgoing nature make her a good softball coach. Mary Anne is good at being organized but she has a sensitive and shy nature. Claudia is a passionate artist and is known for her creativity and fashion sense as well as being boy-crazy. Last of all there is Stacey who is like Claudia but a more sophisticated math genius who is looked up to because she's from New York.
* ''Literature/TheSisterhoodOfTheTravelingPants'' has Lena, who is a shy, introspective aspiring artist, Bridget, who is daring and courageous with gorgeous blond hair, Carmen, who is the organized one and the "glue" keeping the Sisterhood together, and Tibby, who is known as the rebel and disdainful one.
* Marylin Kaye's ''Sisters'' series: Activist Lydia is the TeamMom figure, Cassie is the fashionista, Daphne is the shy and sweet one, Phoebe is the tomboy.

* The ''Literature/AmericanGirl'' books have the Montoya sisters: Ana, the oldest and the TeamMom (almost literally, since their mother is dead and she's already married with two kids); Francisca, the beautiful, fashionable, rebellious one; Clara, the diligent, prudent, preachy one; and Josefina, the youngest and the main character, who's chirpy and cheerful and tries to keep the peace between Francesca and Clara when Ana's not around.
* Cathy Hopkins 'Mates, Dates' series has this with wise Izzy, sweet Lucy, bookish tomboy TJ and flirty Nesta.

* ''Literature/PrettyLittleLiars'': Emily is the sweet and sporty one, Hanna is glamorous and popular, Aria's the artistic hipster DeadpanSnarker, and Spencer sort of replaces "wise" with "perfectionist". They each represent Aspects of Ali's personality.

* ''Literature/ThePoisonwoodBible'' has the Price sisters: Rachel, the pretty one and the RichBitch [[spoiler: who becomes "the sexy one" who ReallyGetsAround as she grows up]]; Leah, the wise and motherly one; Adah, the intellectual and DeadpanSnarker; and Ruth May, the sweet, naive baby of the family and TheHeart. [[spoiler: This book being [[BlackAndGrayMorality the kind of book it is]], Ruth May, naturally, gets killed off.]]

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

* ''Literature/TheAnderssons'' by Solveig Olsson-Hultgren follows this trope with the four original Andersson sisters. Elin is the most "mannish" one, who used to have a tough job at a paper mill. Mandi is the sweet and naive one, who ends up in a bad marriage. Ida Sofia is TheSmartGal and the BookWorm. Greta is the sexy one, who works within fashion.
* ''Literature/JamesAndTheGiantPeach'' has James's four female companions: the Ladybug (TeamMom), [[ActionGirl the Spider]] (mannish), the Glowworm with her beautiful glow (pretty), and [[TheQuietOne the Silkworm]] (childish).
* The major girls in Dumbledore's Army in ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix'': Hermione (admirable and wise), Ginny (tomboy snarker), Cho Chang (boy-crazy pretty one), and Luna (CloudCuckooLander ditz).
* The short-lived 1990s YA series ''Sleepover Friends'' had Kate (tomboy snarker), Stephanie (fashionable and slightly snobby), Patti (shy sweet one), and Lauren (sensible and level-headed narrator).

* Team ''WebAnimation/RWBY''. 'Nuff said.

* The Crystal Gems of ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' fit despite being three [[NoBiologicalSex genderless yet fem-presenting extraterrestrials]] [[TheOneGuy and one boy]]. Garnet is the strong one, Amethyst is the provocative one, Pearl is the motherly one, and Steven is the TagalongKid.
