Clingy Jealous Girls in Western Animation.


  • Avatar franchise:
    • Avatar: The Last Airbender:
      • Katara was very displeased when Aang was crowded by girls on Kyoshi Island due to him being the Avatar and snapped at Aang when he tried to lampshade this trope. Katara never showed this jealous side again until the third and last season during the "The Head Band" episode where Aang starts dancing with another girl named On Ji which makes her very envious. But Katara needn't have worried as Aang almost immediately goes to her and asks her to dance which culminates in a massive passionate Dance of Romance.
      • Humorously Ty Lee is a low-key version of this towards Sokka given her reaction to the news that he has a girlfriend in Earth Kingdom finale:
        Sokka: Thank goodness we're in time!
        Kuei: In time for what?
        Ty Lee: Yeah. What are you in time for, [Cartwheels to Sokka.] cutie?
        Sokka: Uh, (conflicted) I'm kinda involved with Suki.
        Ty Lee: Who?
    • The Legend of Korra:
      • Asami Sato and Korra are jealous of each other over Mako in seasons 1 and 2. Thankfully, they get over him and move on to each other. Ironically, Mako has quite the reaction when he finds out about them.
      • Eska is very possessive towards Bolin when they're dating. For example, when Bolin hugs Korra, she encases him in ice and says in a Creepy Monotone "Why did you initiate physical contact with another woman?" Then Bolin leaves her at the altar and she chases after him with a Nightmare Face.
  • Usually Charley doesn't take Vinnie flirting with her too seriously in Biker Mice from Mars, but she didn't react well when he mused if Hard Rock's girlfriend Darla has a sister.
    Charley: Oooooh, men!" (punches him in the arm, then pouts)
    Vinnie: What? WHAT?
  • Linka from Captain Planet fluctuates between shutting down Wheeler's flirtation and flirting right back with him. However, no matter her current mood, the possibility of some other girl ending up with him irritates her strongly. Kwame commented during one of these incidents that Wheeler wasn't the only one who was acting stupidly, to which she snapped (unconvincingly) that he didn't know anything.
  • Played for Laughs in Castlevania Season 3 where Sypha (a Fiery Redhead) adores her lover Trevor but makes it clear she doesn’t enjoy competing with his other love... alcohol. Best seen when Trevor comes across a bar in Lindenfeld, orders a massive pint, and after one big guzzle claims "That's Better than Sex". In response, Sypha freezes the beer solid with her ice magic and walks off in a huff followed by an apologetic Trevor.
  • Code Lyoko: Alpha Bitch Sissi wants Ulrich to be her boyfriend, although he has no interest in her, and she's annoyingly jealous over him, especially when it comes to his actual crush, Yumi.
  • Codename: Kids Next Door: Lizzie, Numbuh One's girlfriend, wants to monopolize his attention and hates that he keeps prioritizing his duties to KND over her. In her introduction, she uses a mind control helmet on Numbuh One in order to stop him from ditching her to spend time with his teammates. Ironically, Lizzie is the one who eventually ends their relationship, once she finally gets tired of competing with the KND over Numbuh One, and she realizes he might not even be worth it anyway.
  • In Danny Phantom, Sam doesn't like seeing Danny with other girls, such as Paulina or Valerie.
  • The early seasons of Detentionaire had Brandy acting this way towards Lee and Tina, not even letting them talk. Thankfully, she matures.
  • Lena from DuckTales (2017) is a platonic version of this during the events of the episode "Friendship Hates Magic!", where she grows increasingly envious of Webby finding a new friend in Violet and at one point angrily screams out "She's mine!". Of course this probably comes from Webby being her first friend ever and her growing up in a... less than ideal environment.
  • Ed, Edd n Eddy: The Kanker sisters, especially Marie. She takes it to a whole new level in the Valentine's Day Episode / special Hanky Panky Hullabaloo when cherub Jimmy and cherub Sarah hit Edd and May with arrows, thinking they both have a special connection. May had wanted to give Ed a Valentine's Day card, but Ed being Ed, he turned her down, thinking she had "GIRL GERMS!". Edd tries to give May a card of his own design out of pity, hoping it will cheer the heartbroken Kanker sister up. This gesture completely confuses May, but the cherubim mistake that confusion for burgeoning infatuation, and shoot her with an arrow so she falls for Edd instead of Ed. Later that day, in science class, she blows Edd's mind with her Hidden Depths knowledge of chemistry, so the cherubim take the opportunity to hit Edd as well, and they start openly flirting with each other. Marie becomes furious, and does not handle her "boyfriend's" new relationship well at all, drawing hateful pictures of her sister and violently restraining May whenever she gets a chance.
  • There are a few from The Fairly OddParents!:
  • Family Guy:
    • Lois has expressed jealousy toward any women who gain Peter's attention.
    • Meg. Anyone willing to show kindness to her beyond her status as a Butt-Monkey will become an object of her obsession, as she Desperately Craves Affection.
  • Hey Arnold!: Helga G. Pataki gets very jealous of the girls Arnold crushes on, like Ruth and Lila.
  • On Jimmy Two-Shoes, Heloise got pretty mad when she saw what appeared to be Jimmy dating Jez when in reality, Jimmy was only keeping Jez company so Lucius could date her after attending to some business. Also, several episodes have centered around her being jealous of Jimmy's Ho Yay-laden friendship with Beezy.
  • Kaeloo: Kaeloo, as she tries her hardest to get any girl who Mr. Cat could even potentially develop a crush on far away from him, even though their relationship is based on Unresolved Sexual Tension and they're not an Official Couple. Examples of girls she has done this to are Pretty, their Alpha Bitch neighbor, who she once invited on a trip to Egypt to keep her away from Mr. Cat, a picture of a girl in a magazine, which she burned, and her own self after Hulking Out.
  • Kim Possible:
    • Kim didn't take it well when Ron went off with Yori, or when he started hanging out with Zita due to their mutual love of gaming... or when Tara showed him any affection. Come to think of it, even Shego trolled her for fun about flirting with Ron. The final straw was when Bonnie kissed Ron on the lips during one episode of season four.
      Kim: WHAT IS THE SITCH?!
      Ron: (desperately explaining) I was the kissee here, not the kisser!
      Kim: No kidding! It only took you twelve stinkin' years to kiss me!
    • Played for Laughs in the episode "Emotion Sickness" where both Kim and Shego act like clingy girlfriends towards Ron and Draken, respectively after a device turns the two into extreme Mood Swingers.
      Shego: (sobbing) You're leaving in my time of need!
      Draken: No! No, no, no, I-I'll be right back.
      Shego: I'm not gonna forgive you for this! (sob) Ever!
  • Elena Potato in Monster Allergy falls under this trope when it comes to Lay Mamery, a girl Tamer.
  • My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
  • Phineas and Ferb:
    • Little Suzy is very protective of her relationship with his brother Jeremy. She hints in her first appearance, and outright states in "Suddenly Suzy," that she's perfectly fine with Candace so long as she's well and far away from Jeremy.
    • Candace herself flips out pretty much any time Jeremy is seen with another girl. Or a guy who kinda looks like a girl from the back, for that matter.
  • In Season 1 of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, Velma became this towards Shaggy, to the point that she felt threatened by his dog. However, according to Word of Gay her forceful attitude towards their relationship was the result of being in denial about her sexuality.
  • Marge Simpson from The Simpsons can get jealous when another woman shows interest in Homer, such as Lurleen Lumpkin for example. Luckily for her, Homer is oblivious to all attraction other women have, as Marge is the only woman he loves.
  • Wendy, a few times to Stan, when they were dating at least, in South Park. Once, she actually gets her substitute teacher (on whom Stan has a crush) kidnapped by terrorists and catapulted into the sun, even though the teacher was in fact a lesbian. And earlier, she stays after class to tell the teacher "Don't fuck with me!" You can't get much more extreme than that.
  • In the backstory of Steven Universe, Pearl acted jealous towards Rose Quartz when she saw her becoming closer to Greg, but she was willing to tolerate their romance because Gems are practically immortal and Greg is a human mortal, making her believe he wouldn't be a threat in the long-run. Unfortunately, Rose ended up giving up her life to give birth to Greg's son. Pearl still holds a grudge over Rose choosing Greg over her in the present to a lesser degree; she merely suppresses it and channels it towards being insanely overprotective of Rose's son, Steven.
  • Lo becomes jealous and possessive regarding Reef in season two of Stōked.
  • In Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!, Nova is usually shown to be jealous whenever Sprx ogles at a hot woman.
  • In Teen Titans (2003), Starfire really hates it when Kitten forces Robin to take her to prom in "Date with Destiny". Kitten being the Spoiled Brat daughter of a villain doesn't help this.
  • Total Drama:
    • Courtney to Duncan in Action. She is constantly suspicious of his friendship with Gwen in this season, although both insist repeatedly that they are just friends. This is justified in the following season when Duncan cheats on her with Gwen.
    • The Action special mentions that Bridgette once smashed a surfboard over Geoff's head because he was paying too much attention to a group of female fans...which is odd because she's supposed to be very gentle and peaceful.
    • Sierra to Cody in World Tour. Especially when it involves Gwen. An example of this is calling for a Group Hug then telling Gwen, Courtney, and Heather to back off while she's glomping Cody.
    • Again in World Tour, Heather does not want Courtney to have Alejandro (who is flirting with her in order to manipulate her and distract Heather).
    • Lindsay once yelled at Bridgette because she fell and Tyler caught her, even though the situation was obviously not romantic in any way.
      Lindsay: Hey! Puke on your own boyfriend!
  • Winx Club:
    • Stella in Season 4 when Mitzi gets a crush on Brandon and is determined to make him hers. This infuriates Stella and causes her to constantly question Brandon's loyalty since Mitzi constantly follows him around.
    • Flora is normally too sweet to count, but she's notably uncomfortable when Crystal gets a bit too close to Helia.
  • X-Men: The Animated Series:
    • Rogue (just like the comics) is this to Gambit despite also being a Tsundere. Rogue expresses her displeasure seeing Gambit with other women even if he’s not even attracted to them. This is taken further in "X-Ternally Yours", where she is stricken upon learning about Gambit's “engagement” with Bella Donna but Rogue is relieved when sees that Gambit doesn't love her.
    • Speaking of which, there's Bella Donna herself, who traps Gambit with a depowering engagement ring so that he won’t be able to run away from her again. Bella Donna also goes full Yandere when she sees Rogue aiding Gambit, attacking Rogue with her powers, calling her a “seducer” and screaming that Gambit is hers.
