The unifying trait of all Strange Girls is that they are protagonists and most importantly, are ''different'' from their peers (though [[LonersAreFreaks rarely completely friendless]]). Her family or home life will be... ''interesting'' to say the least. Usually she is [[WeirdnessMagnet in touch]] with the supernatural aspects of her setting, even if she doesn't have powers herself. Because of this tendency to experience strange and supernatural adventures, it's not uncommon for their social clique to grow into a veritable MonsterMash of friends they've helped in various adventures, though they'll likely start out the series with at least one or two {{Arthur Dent}}s as completely human friends. Before long she's likely to have [[SeenItAll seen so much weirdness]] little if anything will faze her.

She's not normal, that's for sure. The only thing you can pin down about the Strange Girl is that she's hard to pin down (when she isn't doing the pinning, that is). Concerning appearance: she often dresses as but is not always herself a {{Goth}}; usually she's visually distinct from her normal peer group, often by being an EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette (which ties in with the high chance of being a {{Goth}}). As far as demeanor is concerned, she can be anything from a PerkyGoth, a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, TheStoic, a [[TakeOverTheWorld world conqueror]], TheOphelia, an EmotionlessGirl, [[SuzumiyaHaruhi Haruhi]]... or [[TheQuietOne quiet]], [[StraightMan sensible]] and even friendly.

* Now even SurvivalOfTheFittest has one, of all places! Version 4's Anna Chase is... a little off. To get an idea, she is a PaleSkinnedBrunette with some level of PerkyGoth to her, that is obsessed with horror movies, and is a ''massive'' CloudCuckoolander. At one point (in her introductory thread in pre-game) she tells her best friend not to eat her brains (ItMakesSenseInContext... sort of). And that's not even going into some of her other personality traits. Overall, she is generally seen as somewhat eccentric by other characters.

** And then there's Lily Ainsworth, also from v4. She's even ''more'' of a CloudCuckoolander.

** Zimmy might also qualify. Her strange skin tone and eyes covered in black gunk make her stand out visually, she wears her school uniform all the time, she's afflicted with the unfortunate combination of some kind of RealityWarper powers and horrifying hallucinations, she [[NoRestForTheWicked doesn't sleep]], she's got a PsychicLink with another girl who serves as her PowerNullifier... Honestly, the stuff that can be quantified is probably just the tip of the iceberg. There's a lot of mysteries and open questions surrounding Zimmy as well.

** This one's [[YourMileageMayVary debatable]], because Toni's strangeness is overshadowed or at least equaled by the strange behaviour of other cast members (like Hanna fainting for mysterious reasons, and Casimiro kicking Conrad in the face out of the blue and just generally flipping out) during her debut. She just doesn't stand out as much amidst all that. Also, the [[spoiler:werewolf]] thing doesn't seem that odd either in a FantasyKitchenSink.
