History Main / GenkiGirl

* ''Series/ICarly'': Carly, with her loud and spastic nature and her LargeHam tendencies, can be considered this. Their LoonyFan Mandy as well.

%%** Emmie, Sherya, and Michelle in Season 5.

* Boo from ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc''. Justified, she is only about three years old.

%% * Mizal from ''Literature/{{Spaceforce}}'', [[PosthumousCharacter even though she's dead]].

%% * The thief from Music/DiamondJack, although she's more [[DownplayedTrope composed]] than usual.

* Robin [=DeSanto=] from ''Webcomic/ItsWalky'' 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.
* ''Webcomic/AMagicalRoommate'': Daria is a genki dragon who was introduced to tools and became obsessed. Then she was introduced to modern technology...
-->'''Aylia:''' Clearly, you've never witnessed [the] homework exploding machine.

*** [[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 [[CloningBlues she's just a clone who thinks she's real]].

[[folder:Korean Television]]
* 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.
[[/folder]]

* ''Literature/RainbowMagic'': 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.

* 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.
* 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]]...
* [[ForeignQueasine Sandra Lee]], once again from Food Network. She fits the "dosed up on caffeine" requirement.
* Ingrid Hoffman is relatively sedate on her English-language show, but watch her in Spanish... it's like Rachael Ray raided Giada's closet.

%% * Similarly, Creator/EllenDeGeneres is very energetic.
%% * ''Series/{{Alphas}}'': Kat, who never seems bothered by her constant loss of memory.

%% * Tracy Turnblad in ''Film/{{Hairspray}}''.

%% * RebelWilson in a lot of her roles like the ''Film/PitchPerfect'' films and WhatToExpectWhenYoureExpecting.

%% * Bahia Ben Mahmoud in the french movie ''Le Nom des Gens''.

* ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks'': Ensign Tendi is a bouncy ExtravertedNerd EnsignNewbie who approaches even the most boring jobs on the ''Cerritos'' with [[ThePollyanna glee]].

* ''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]].

*** 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.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': Luz 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]]. 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.

* ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'': 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.

* ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks'': Ensign Tendi is a bouncy ExtrovertedNerd EnsignNewbie who approaches even the most boring jobs on the ''Cerritos'' with [[ThePollyanna glee]].

* Peni Parker from ''Western Animation/Spider-Man:SpiderVerse'' is always energetic, optimistic and happy-go-lucky. She also loves candy and manga.

* 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,

* ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'': Alice Cullen is happy in nature and very energetic.

%%* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'': Despite being [[MiniatureSeniorCitizens much older and smaller]] than most of the other examples listed here, Edna Mode '''definitely''' qualifies.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'': Despite being [[MiniatureSeniorCitizens much older and smaller]] than most of the other examples listed here, Edna Mode '''definitely''' qualifies.

* ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'': Haruka, oh, so much. 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 [[NotGoodWithPeople 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.]]

* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'': At the start, Claudia is an exuberant and energetic girl, frequently running around the house even though Louis and Lestat repeatedly tell her not to.

* ''Franchise/{{Avatar|TheLastAirbender}}'' franchise:
** ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': [[PerkyFemaleMinion Ty Lee]], in contrast to her {{Foil}}, EmotionlessGirl Mai.
** ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'':
*** The latest Avatar, Korra, in contrast to her mentor [[TheComicallySerious Tenzin]].
*** 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]]).
* ''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.
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'': Characters/{{Harley Quinn|TheCharacter}}.
* ''WesternAnimation/CuriousGeorge'': A nonhuman example: Charkie.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'': Brittany in spades. 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.

* ''WesternAnimation/ElTigre'': Frida Suarez.

** Bethany Owens, Talia Patapoutian, and Liza Giangrande in Season 4.
** Emmie, Sherya, and Michelle in Season 5.

* ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw'': Birdgirl.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Hero 108}}'': Mystique Sonia.

* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'': Moofy, a one-shot character, is both a hilarious and downright scary example of this trope.
* ''WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures'': Pepper Potts is a big-time Genki Girl.

* ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'': Saffi.

* ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012'': Minka Mark.
** Especially Buttercream. [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Dear]] [[TalkativeLoon God]], ''[[BuffySpeak Buttercream]]''.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** 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 [[CloningBlues she's just a clone who thinks she's real]].
** The Cutie Mark Crusaders. Individually, they're energetic. Together, they egg each other on and build off each other to astonishing lengths.
** 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.
** As "Amending Fences" reveals, Minuette, one of Twilight's old Canterlot friends, is a very upbeat girl. No wonder she and Pinkie are friends.
** 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.
** Silverstream the Hippogriff is absolutely fascinated by everything on the surface world after she spent most of her life in a coral reef underwater.
** 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.
* From the original ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'', we have Surprise, whom FIM Pinkie is heavily based on. She enjoys pranking people, is very active, and is very loud.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyG3'': Pinkie Pie isn't ''quite'' as madcap as her ''FIM'' version, but she loves parties and is obsessed with the color pink.

* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'': Candace Flynn. Her energy levels can rival her brothers, for starters.

* ''WesternAnimation/RubyGloom'': Iris.

* ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever'': Batgirl. Her ''[[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries The New Batman Adventures]]'' incarnation is this at times.

* ''The WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker Show (1999)'': Winnie Woodpecker.

* ''WebAnimation/{{Object Mayhem}}'': 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.

* ''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.
