History Main / StrangeGirl

* Miss Spider from ''JamesAndTheGiantPeach'' Interestingly, she displays some maternal feelings towards James.

* Isabella "Bella" Swan in ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''. She is TheStoic, the StraightMan, and TheQuietOne all at once, hangs around [[EverythingsBetterWithSparkles sparkly vampires]] and American Indian werewolves, and has both magical blood that attracts magical creatures toward her and a magical mental shield power and a vampire boyfriend that keeps her safe from harm.

* Despite her normal clothes and appearance, something about Ayumu Kasuga (also known as Osaka) from ''Anime/AzumangaDaioh'' seems a little off, though not in a bad way. The rest of the cast - and it's full of colourful individuals - agrees that she is the strangest of them, mostly due to her [[Main/CloudCuckoolander unique imagination]] and strange hobbies (like semantics or standing in the rain).

* '''Mabel Pines of ''GravityFalls''.'''

* Heloise on ''{{Jimmy Two-Shoes}}''. A MadScientist EnfanteTerrible who works for {{Satan}}.

* From ''SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' we have... Uhm, pretty much the entire friggin' cast? ... Well, except for that [[UnfazedEveryman one girl]].
* In ''RanmaOneHalf'', pretty much ''every'' girl would be considered unusual in a more real-world setting, seeing as how they include a busty BigEater who's really a '''[[GenderBender guy]]''', a GirlNextDoor who can jog up a flight of stairs while carrying a fridge single-handed, an AnimeChineseGirl from a hidden warrior village who [[BalefulPolymorph turns into a cat when splashed with cold water]] and [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength plows headlong through concrete walls rather then use the door]], and a [[WholesomeCrossdresser cross-dressing]] okonomiyaki chef who [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking never goes anywhere without a giant spatula strapped to her back]]. And yet, each and every one of these girls unquestionably considers [[LordErrorProne Kodachi Kuno]] the weirdest person in town, hands down. While played up a bit more in the manga, in either version she has such traits as hunting down potential boyfriends like animals, even going so far as to paralyze them so she can kiss them, while insisting that they are the ones chasing ''her'', spiking just about any food or drink she makes with paralysis or sleeping powder (even her own brother is hesitant to eat them without testing them first) and [[NoblewomansLaugh laughing like a loon]].
* Natalia aka Belarus from AxisPowersHetalia. She's a beautiful, small, dainty-looking blonde girl in ElegantGothicLolita clothes... and very, very ''frightening''. So much that she's the only nation-tan able to scare someone as feared as ''Russia''.
** Romania is stated to be a RareMaleExample. We get some glimpses of it when we have him tell his best friend Bulgaria about his ''very'' special former boss [[NightmareFetishist with a huge grin.]]

* Despite her normal clothes and appearance, something about Kasuga Ayumu (also known as Osaka) from ''Anime/AzumangaDaioh'' seems a little off, though not in a bad way. The rest of the cast - and it's full of colourful individuals - agrees that she is the strangest of them, mostly due to her [[Main/CloudCuckoolander unique imagination]] and strange hobbies (like semantics or standing in the rain).
* Ranze Etoh from Manga/TokimekiTonight

->''"[[WeirdnessCensor Live people ignore the strange and unusual]]. [[GenreSavvy I myself,]] ''[[GenreSavvy am]]'' [[GenreSavvy strange and unusual.]]"''

* Mary Katherine (Merricat), the protagonist of Shirley Jackson's ''WeHaveAlwaysLivedInTheCastle''.

* Mandy of ''TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' is like Emily, planning on world conquest. She's ruthless, not entirely without compassion or standards, but ''cross her and you will '''suffer.'''''

** Also Sara from ''[[FireEmblemJugdral Thracia 776]]'', a cute WhiteMagicianGirl who asks Leaf if she can join him by saying that she can hear his voice in her head and speaks very nonchalantly about how [[spoiler: she hates her grandfather Manfloy for killing her dad before she was even born.]] Even her caretakers in [[spoiler: the Lopto Sect]] regard her as being weird!

** And then we have BlackMagicianGirl Tharja from FireEmblemAwakening, who with her {{Yandere}} tendences and her "habit" of cursing or threatening to curse pretty much everyone in the party, blows all of them out of the water.

** Predated by the sisters Rosa and Clara del Valle from ''TheHouseOfTheSpirits''.

''She had her own style her own rules''\\

* Vanellope Von Schweetz from ''Disney/WreckItRalph''. She's a [[TheMissingno glitch]] in a video game, ostracized by the other characters, and it's had an [[FriendlessBackground effect]] [[NoSocialSkills on]] [[BrokenBird her.]] Not to mention her wicked sense of humour...[[spoiler: And then it's revealed that she's ''not'' a glitch, but that King Candy has rewritten the code so everyone else ''thinks'' she is. She's actually the true ruler of Sugar Rush!]]

* ''[[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Suzumiya Haruhi]].'' "Normal humans don't interest me. If anyone here is an alien, a time traveler, slider, or an esper, then come find me! That is all."

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). She's visually distinct from her normal peer group, typically in both physical appearance (she's likely to be an EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette[=/=]RavenHairIvorySkin) and dress, but sometimes only one of the two. As far as demeanor is concerned, she can be anything from TheWonka, a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, TheStoic, a [[TakeOverTheWorld world conqueror]], TheMessiah, TheOphelia, an EmotionlessGirl... or [[TheQuietOne quiet]], [[StraightMan sensible]] and even friendly. Anything goes as long as it stands out from the series' norm.

* [[TVGenius Kotomi Ichinose]] from ''VisualNovel/{{CLANNAD}}''. [[TheWonka Extremely smart but has virtually no social skills]], to the point where she doesn't even acknowledge people talking to her.

* In ''RanmaOneHalf'', pretty much ''every'' girl would be considered unusual in a more real-world setting, seeing as how they include a busty BigEater who's really a '''[[GenderBender guy]]''', a GirlNextDoor who can jog up a flight of stairs while carrying a fridge single-handed, an AnimeChineseGirl from a hidden warrior village who [[BalefulPolymorph turns into a cat when splashed with cold water]] and [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength plows headlong through concrete walls rather then use the door]], and a [[WholesomeCrossdresser cross-dressing]] okonomiyaki chef who [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking never goes anywhere without a giant spatula strapped to her back]]. And yet, each and everyone one of these girls unquestionably considers [[LordErrorProne Kodachi Kuno]] the weirdest person in town, hands down. While played up a bit more in the manga, in either version she has such traits as hunting down potential boyfriends like animals, even going so far as to paralyze them so she can kiss them, while insisting that they are the ones chasing ''her'', spiking just about any food or drink she makes with paralysis or sleeping powder (even her own brother is hesitant to eat them without testing them first) and [[NoblewomansLaugh laughing like a loon]].

* Anne Shirley of Anne of Green Gables is thought to be a Strange Girl when she first arrives at Avonlea but she is just a girl with a vivid imagination that the Avonlea residents aren't used to.

* Parker from ''Series/{{Leverage}}'', with many characters asking what is wrong with her or that she is nuts.

* ''Series/Degrassi'' has Imogen, who is a little odd. At first she didn't match this trope as her antics were malicious and dangerous, manipulating people to get what sh wanted. Midway through Season 11 her tone shifted and she just became an odd and excitable goofball, and landing her squarely here as she still had just as many quirky and eccentric moments but without any direct result in mind.

* The female Malkavian of ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade: Bloodlines'' is by far one of the most bizarre of any Strange Girl characters. Since her lines are unvoiced, the player is left to fill in the sound from their own imagination, yet she simultaneously gives the impression of complete silence. Not only is the content of her lines head-spinningly insane, these impressions of muteness and derangement combine to make it seems as if the voices in her head are communicating with everyone else, an impression supported by other characters' reactions to her.

* Miss Spider from ''JamesandtheGiantPeach'' Interestingly, she displays some maternal feelings towards James.
