Clingy Jealous Girl / Video Games

Clingy Jealous Girls in Video Games.

---

• In Alpha Protocol, love interest and Mission Control Mina Tang acts as this to Agent Thorton, as he loses approval with her anytime he flirts with other girls and she develops a rivalry with Ms. Fanservice SIE.
• Joule from Azure Striker Gunvolt, in spite of being one of the nicest characters in the series. The first game has subtle hints towards this facet of her personality, but by the second game it is shown in full because of the introduction of Quinn. Joule repeatedly tries to be a Moment Killer, and gets nervous when the Ship Tease between Gunvolt and Quinn occurs anyway.
• Tsubaki Yayoi from BlazBlue is a rather good example with a dose of Love Makes You Evil. She really does love Jin Kusaragi, but thanks to Yuuki Terumi/Hazama's manipulations that lead her to believe that her best friend Noel Vermillion stole her rightful place to be with him, this becomes her driving point to madness. She still can't bring herself to murder Noel in Continuum Shift, however, despite Terumi's manipulations.
• Kina from Bug Fables is a sibling example. She loves her brother Maki deeply and doesn't like that Yin tends to hog Maki's attention. She even threatens Yin (who is still a baby caterpillar who can't talk, mind you) over this when forced to babysit the latter:
  Kina: DON'T YOU "MUH MUH" ME! I SEE HOW YOU KEEP LOOKING AT MAKI! YOU BETTER NOT THINK OF DOING ANYTHING FUNNY OR I WILL END YOU!!
  Yin: M-muh! Muh muuuuh!!
• Etna from Disgaea: Hour of Darkness harbored a crush on King Krichevskoy after he, the first person to show her kindness, took her in. However, he later married, so she... didn't approve. She initially hated their son Laharl for existing because of that.
• Dragon Age: Origins:
  • Morrigan becomes one of these if romanced (her new Catchphrase: "I do not share!"), despite her loud and frequent protests that she and the Warden are just Friends with Benefits.
  • Leliana of the same game may disagree with Morrigan on many things, but one thing that she does agree with her is this: she will not tolerate the Warden even looking at another woman if romanced. Woe betide a male Warden who accidentally romances them both. Subverted if she is hardened: a Optional Sexual Encounter with Isabela can go one or two ways, either she gets the idea that messing with Leliana will end in blood, or Leliana actually invites herself along for a threesome. (Leliana can also be romanced by female Wardens, which Morrigan cannot, but in that case Leliana is less violent in her expressions of jealousy should the Warden show interest in one of the male options.)
  • Isolde Guerrin is this. Toward her husband's brother.
    Isolde: Who is this woman, Teagan!?
• In Duel Savior Destiny Taiga's little sister tends to be all over him and tries getting in the way of his relationships with mixed success. In her own route, she takes it up a couple notches.

• Mai Shiranui from Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters. She thankfully doesn't get jealous towards other women, but is pissy as HELL because her would-be boyfriend Andy would rather team up with his older brother Terry and their common friend Joe than her, which also doubles as her believing he doesn't take her worth and Action Girl skills seriously enough to form a Battle Couple with her. That's one of the biggest reasons why she always chases after him.
  • Subverted by Athena Asamiya in the KOF: KYO continuity. She seemed to be heading here at first in the KOF:KYO manga, transferring to Kyo's highschool to be close to him and see the extent of his powers after he fought and defeated her in KOF, but she dropped said attitude almost immediately after learning that Kyo already has a girlfriend (Yuki) and after Iori Yagami showed up at the school grounds. From then on, they seem to be more of Platonic Life-Partners.
• Fate/Grand Order:
  • The protagonist is surrounded and fawned over by the greatest heroines in mythology and history, all of whom have their own varying levels of clinginess, yet it's Mash Kyrielight, the female lead with the most screen time, who is the most infamous for this. As Mash will usually tag along with the protagonist everywhere, she'll be the first to butt in when she feels like a female Servant is getting too friendly with her Master, which happens often.
  • Eric Bloodaxe's Interlude quest reveals that his wife, witch-queen Gunnhildr, is actively scrying on him from the Throne of Heroes, and quite unhappy that the player summoned her man, although she agrees to put up with it as long as you don't try anything with him. She also doesn't want Eric talking with anyone except her and threatens to curse anyone he does (in the Battle for New York challenge quest where you battle him and Gunnhildr is supporting him, using Charm effects on him is a very good way to piss her off and get cursed), leading him to Obfuscating Insanity to avoid conversation. He doesn't actually mind, though.
• Final Fantasy:
  • In Final Fantasy VII, Aerith Gainsborough is normally a cheery and mysterious happy go lucky gal. When Cloud mentions "Tifa", however, she latches on him during their Migdar adventures, bluntly asks questions Tifa what's going on between her and Cloud and is relieved, almost excited to learn Tifa is just Cloud "childhood friend". Even if Cloud dates Tifa at the Gold Saucer instead of her Aerith will still ask Cait Sith to measure how compatible her and Cloud are and is overly happy at the result, oblivious of Caith Sith's distress over Tifa's own feelings. In fact, it even plays in the Relationship Values for that determine who said date is. For example, if Cloud isn't chosen as Don Corneo's date, telling Tifa they have to go save Aerith improves Tifa's score but telling Aerith they have to go save Tifa decreases Aerith's score. Aerith was also this to her First Love Zack Fair in Crisis Core, sending him 89 love letters to him when he was on a mission for SOLDIER.
  • Tifa Lockhart herself has shades of this, while she keeps her feelings for Cloud buried deep she still shows distress when Aerith constantly reminds Cloud about the date he promised her (possibly because it clashes with The Promise Cloud made her). And even though she did fall in with love Cloud ever since he left Nibleheiem, she's mostly content to see Cloud happy if the player chooses to date Aerith or Yuffie at the Gold Saucer. Though after Aeirth dies, Tifa gets over her Cannot Spit It Out and openly speaks her feelings to Cloud under the Highwind.
  • Noijma specifically went out of his way to make sure Tifa wasn't written like this in Advent Children when Tifa is hurt and sad at Cloud's distinctness, at worst she's a very mild Wet Blanket Wife but not "clingy" as instructed while the movie was being created.
  • Downplayed in the Final Fantasy VII Remake, Aerith and Tifa always treat each other extremely well and despite shared attraction to Cloud they rarely butt heads over him, unlike the original game. Though they do engage in some mild Lover Tug of War during the Train Graveyard segment. Played straighter with Jessie, who’s low-key jealous of how close Tifa is to Cloud and is against Tifa joining the AVALANCHE missions, which she says is due to Tifa’s Reluctant Warrior tendencies but it’s clear that’s not the whole truth. Judging by the moment when Cloud gives Jessie a Bridal Carry to the bar and the camera lingers on Tifa following behind with an uncharacteristic frown on her face, the feeling is mutual there.
  • Eiko in Final Fantasy IX is extremely jealous that Zidane only has eyes for Garnet/Dagger.
  • In Final Fantasy X-2, Yuna gets mad when she sees a recording of what looks like her lover Tidus, but is actually Shuyin, talking about saving a girl named Lenne.
  • Alyssa from Final Fantasy XIII-2 is a Hopeless Suitor example, but still, she clings to Hope at least once in every scene they're together in. This jealousy extends to pretty much any female Academy researcher, and even Serah, although it's unknown if she realizes she's Competing with a Corpse^note In a Downplayed example; Lightning is Legally Dead.
• Fire Emblem:
  • Clarine in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade worships her older brother Klein to the point where she yells at another healer for healing Klein before she had the chance. Klein is NOT happy when he finds out.
  • In Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, Sylvia is initially this towards Lewyn and gets annoyed with Erinys for (supposedly) suggesting she's not good enough for him. She's also pretty insecure in her love talk with Lewyn if they do hook up. Then again Sylvia is just 14, she isn't half as clingy towards other love interests (like Alec or Claude), and in the Oosawa manga it's explained that she has her reasons...
  • Maribelle in Fire Emblem: Awakening is this to Lissa at times. Her entire B support with Chrom has her asking him to keep a sharp eye on the men who look Lissa's way, and she flat-out says in their Harvest Scramble talk that she's sick of sharing Lissa with the others.
• Ranpha's path in Galaxy Angel Moonlit Lovers has her snap when she walks in on Tact and Chitose picking up fallen papers. Tact's solution? Convince her that he could never love anybody else — by way of self-humiliation.◊
• Granblue Fantasy: Lyria doesn't like it when women get too close to the protagonist for comfort, like, for example, Anthuria and her advances, or Dorothy when she feeds the protagonist.
• Kiki, the lawyer girlfriend from Grand Theft Auto IV, has some serious psychological problems when it comes to relationships. If you wear inappropriate clothing she will berate you for letting "your other whore" dress you up for your date, and if you get her drunk she'll chew you out for supposedly checking out another girl at a bar. She is also very possessive but sweet, a definite Type B Tsundere, sending you text messages that alternate between "This is a picture of me thinking of you, I love you so much!" and "Come date me when you're not fucking one of your whores."
• Reika from Getter Love. If she finds you, she'll follow you around for a game-day, chase off any other girls you try to talk to, and generally ruin your day, unless you use certain cards or get lucky enough to run into your good buddy Alfonso.
• Rare MMO example: in Guild Wars, players who cross into Cantha for the Factions campaign are treated to an exchange between the monk Mhenlo, his apparent girlfriend Cynn, and his "old friend" Jamei:
  Cynn: That's Jamei? Mhenlo, he's a girl! All those stories about your old friend growing up, and you never told me...
  Brother Mhenlo: You never asked, Cynn, and I don't see that it matters.
  Jamei: Ah, the stories. There are so many, eh, Mhenlo? I swear, it seems looking back that there was not a day we were apart.
  Cynn: Not a day apart?! Listen lady, he may not be much, but that Monk is mine! Don't even think about it!
  Brother Mhenlo: Now Cynn, calm down...
  Jamei: Oh, Mhenlo! You got yourself a little girlfriend! How... sweet.
  Cynn: "Little girl"?! Lady, this "little girl" will show you big pain if you're not careful....
• In Halo 5: Guardians, the Came Back Wrong Cortana shows shades of this for Master Chief. They insisted that they want John to be there with them when they enact their plot to take over the galaxy and impose their rule over all organic life. Cortana was visibly heartbroken when John refused to go along with the plan. Then they kidnapped and imprisoned John, intending to keep them in cryo for 10,000 years so John could see things their way.
• Queen Vanessa from A Hat in Time, up to the point of banning bacon from the house because her prince enjoyed eating it so much, she was afraid he loved it more than her. Seeing the prince holding hands with another woman — who as it turns out was just a flower seller who the prince was buying flowers from for Vanessa, and the "hand-holding" was just him handing her money — drove Vanessa to chain the prince in the basement so that he could never leave her, where he transformed into the villainous Snatcher, and she transformed into an even more horrifying abomination.
• Kingdom of Loathing features "Clingy Pirate" as an opponent. If your character is male, she'll be a girl. She attacks by hugging you and hurting your feelings. You may simply beat her senseless like any other monster, or write a bogus phone number on a cocktail napkin so you won't have to fight her for a few dozen adventures.
• Knights of the Old Republic 2 gives examples from both genders in cut content. Visas, the Handmaiden, Atton, and the Disciple all have a cutscene on Malachor in which they attack whichever character of the same gender the player has been paying more attention to (i.e. has a higher Influence score with).
• Papillon from La Pucelle Tactics behaves this way towards Captain Homard. As she's an Expy of Tinkerbelle, who herself is quite the Clingy Jealous Girl towards Peter, this makes sense.
• The Legend of Zelda:
  • Maybe belongs in Fan Fic, but among the Ocarina of Time fandom, Ruto will usually fill this role when she's the rival for Link's affection. And occasionally when she's the female lead.
  • Downplayed with Mipha in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. She is a childhood friend of Link's who harbors strong affection for Link and was a little upset to realize that as Zelda's appointed knight, Link would be spending much more time with the princess. When the Champions were taking a photo, Mipha at first timidly stands away from Link but shuffles closer when Zelda looks away for a moment.
• Light Fairytale: Kuroko doesn't like it when Haru gets close to other girls, such as Emiko and Miyu.
• Ruby the baby red dragon is this to Hiro in Lunar: Eternal Blue when it comes to Lucia; Hiro in this case is clearly smitten with Lucia.
• Luna is this to Alex in the original Lunar: The Silver Star. Given that she spends a rather short stretch of the game with him, it leaves a bad impression. Talk to any female, and she'll snap back at him. It also doesn't help that they were raised together since birth. The remakes tone this down considerably.
• Even though Neeshka is not romanceable in an unmodded Neverwinter Nights 2, she gets very... possessive if the main character is male and he's paying attention to any of the other females in the party. Fan speculation supposes that she was once intended as an actual romance, though other than the aforementioned clinginess and overjoy at being praised there's no hard evidence of this (i.e., no cut dialogue files).
  • The romanceable Elanee isn't much better, though she at least seems to save her jealousy for women inside the party, whereas Neeshka is ready to unleash it on random dancers.
  • One community expansion, entitled Dark Avenger, gives a villain a Clingy Jealous Girlfriend who he's trying to get rid of so he can flirt and try to hook up with other women.
• The Pac-Man World games establish Pinky to be this towards Pac-Man.
• Persona:
  • Persona 2 has Lisa Silverman, in a case where the protagonist (named Tatsuya) actually isn't dating her (although at one point late in the game, he's asked which of his four party members he loves the most, and Lisa is an option). Due to her low self-esteem, she actively pursues him, as he's considered the popular bad boy of their school.
  • Chihiro Fushimi in Persona 3 is a rather minor version of this — she's mostly fine, but late in her Social Link Mitsuru calls the protagonist to see her, and Chihiro is mad... until it turns out to have been a misunderstanding. (Though the protagonist is able to date Mitsuru later, so Chihiro might have been Properly Paranoid) Yukari can become this if you end up Reversing her Social Link while you're romantically involved. In Persona 3 Portable, Aigis becomes this for the Female Protagonist.
  • Persona 4:
    • Ai Ebihara. Often while you're on a date with her, the two of you run into another of your female "friends". You then get to witness a grudge match where Ai chases off the other girl and then reprimands you for daring to speak to another girl while out with her. Unless the other girl is Yukiko; she actually manages to scare off Ai and then confronts you to find out just what you think you were doing with her. Fortunately, the MC is pimp enough to be able to easily defuse these situations without risk of a reversed S-Link. Yukiko apparently manages to cling more than Ai; if the above event happens, the MC will go out on a date with Yukiko instead and gain relationship points with her!
    • Played for Laughs in the anime series, where at some point Ai confronts Chie over Kou Ichijou. She then slaps Chie across the face, and the deal ends up in a Cat Fight where they childishly pull on each other's cheeks.
    • Rise Kujikawa as well, though she's sweeter about it than Ai is, given that she'll accept a rejection without a complaint. Still doesn't stop her from reacting poorly to girls other than her friends being around the protagonist (sizing up Marie when they first meet, demanding to know how the protagonist knows Margaret, etc). This becomes more perceptible in Persona Q during the Group Date Wedding in P4 Side. Any of her reactions to Yu marrying either girls or guys proves this.
      Rise: (if Yu is marrying a girl) Noooo! I won't allow this!
      Rise: (if Yu is marrying a guy) Noooo! Not that kind of love! Senpai, look who you're standing next to! It's a guy!
• Abigail from Red Dead Redemption acts like this when she finds out John has made a new female friend named Bonnie while she was being held prisoner by the proto-FBI. She's actually just messing with him and when she and Bonnie meet, they take turns roasting him.
• Resident Evil:
  • Played for Laughs, but in the RE2 scenario of Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, Claire noticeably dislikes Ada, as unlike her partner Leon, she doesn't trust her all and is pretty dismayed at Leon's actions regarding the Femme Fatale Spy, especially taking a bullet for her. At one point, Claire huffily accuses Leon of "trying to impress her", at which Leon simply sighs, "Tch... women". This is solely in The Darkside Chronicles, though, as Claire conveniently has never met Ada in Canon.
  • In Resident Evil: Revelations, after Jessica fails to seduce to Chaste Hero Chris several times, she starts to ask him blunt questions about his relationship with Jill and even asks Chris if he trusts her as much as trusts Jill. Towards the end of the game, she's irritable at seeing Chris and Jill reunite and annoyed that Chris "never took the hint".
  • In Resident Evil 6, Carla is devoted to Simmons and even lets herself become an Evil Knockoff of Ada to please him, but when the real Ada enters the picture, she plots to destroy Simmons for using her feeling for him as well as Ada out of jealousy of the former’s own obsession with her.
  • In Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, Mia, the Player Character's wife, becomes this if you choose the non-canon route of curing Zoey instead of her, causing Mia to become furious and succumb to Eveline's influence. At the end, she attacks Ethan with a knife, forcing Ethan to kill her, and the player will get the Bad Ending.
• Part of the Cruel Twist Ending of River City Girls reveal that Kiyoko and Misako are actually ex-girlfriends of Kunio and Riki who somehow didn't get the memo that they weren't dating anymore. Or if they did, they ignored it.
• Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time has this as one of Penelope's major flaws. She does not approve of Bentley having connections to anyone besides herself, especially his foster brothers Sly and Murray, and this motives her into betraying them to Le Paradox so she could eleminate them (along with Sly's ancestors) and have Bentley to herself. The "love" aspect is averted, as Penelope is mearly a Gold Digger who's planning to force Bentley to design weapons for profit and power, and only sees him and Le Paradox as tools.
• Amy Rose from Sonic the Hedgehog borders on the psycho stalker version (though just how close she is to being a Stalker with a Crush depends on the writer). And has a large hammer which she isn't afraid to use on Sonic if he refuses. It leaves behind a trail of hearts.
• Tales Series:
  • In Tales of Symphonia, Colette, of all people, displays some traces of this toward Lloyd in one skit. During one sidequest, she asks Lloyd if he likes girls like Princess Hilda, clearly bracing herself for the worst. He admits he thinks she’s pretty, almost confirming her fears, but then says Colette is cuter. However, he then compliments all the other girls in the party, triggering one of the very few moments in the game where Colette gets genuinely angry (She compares Lloyd to Zelos for doing that). Lloyd, being Lloyd, doesn’t pick up on this behavior.
  • Marta in Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. She immediately latches on to Emil. Thankfully, Character Development settles in and she eventually grows to be a bit more reasonable about her love... though this does not prevent her from flipping out in skits and victory poses when Emil so much as compliments another girl. This is reversed later on as Marta realizes what a Jerkass his alter ego is, yet at that point, it is he that applies The Dulcinea Effect to her. Were it not for his amnesia, he would've thought Humans Are the Real Monsters and wanted to destroy them all instead.
    Emil: Nice moves, Sheena.
    Sheena: Thanks.
    Marta: Noooo! I can't believe Emil is looking at Sheena's chest!
    Emil: What? No I wasn't!
  • Anise from Tales of the Abyss fits the bill for the first half of the game. Ironically, her interest in Luke stems not from genuine affection, but more from the fact that she desperately wants to marry into money.
  • Iria from Tales of Innocence also counts with a twist: she is not in love with Luca (at least not in their current lives). She simply loathes the other girl who is in love with Luca because they were love rivals in their past lives. Seeing Luca talking to Chitose is Iria's Berserk Button.
• Ling Xiaoyu from Tekken is this for Jin the maladjusted hunky poster boy of the series. While she's unable to admit openly to her feelings, Xiaoyu is obviously head over heels for Jin and gets extremely hostile to any young attractive woman whom he might even remotely take interest in. Case in point: she doesn't like Asuka at all and tells her to get lost and stay away from Jin, being unaware that she is Jin's cousin (albeit a cousin whose breasts he accidentally faces plants into in one ending). This jealousy even extends to crossover games, as in Street Fighter X Tekken, Xiaoyu antagonises Chun-Li and Cammy when they interact with her and Jin, accusing them of trying to seduce him away with their "tramp" clothing (for the record, they just want to question him). She also gets snappy at other girls in Project × Zone whenever they express attraction for him, even throwing out the classic "He's out of your league".
• Scorpio from Virgo Versus the Zodiac does not like it when she thinks someone is trying to jeopardize her relationship with Taurus and is quick to start uttering threats of violence against the perceived interloper.
• In A Witch's Tale, Aquell is this towards Liddell, as she sees her as competition for Loue.
• According to Wikipedia, Succubi from World of Warcraft frequently fall in love with their summoners and become insanely jealous of any members of the opposite sex their summoners meet.
• The 9th rival in the main story mode in Yandere Simulator is Hanako Yamada, who is very dependent and clingy towards her big brother, Taro Yamada, the senpai that Ayano goes after, and Hanako doesn't want Taro to get a girlfriend in fear of losing him.
