It's not just a pun on valley girl as the description does try to incorporate the Uncanny Valley trope into this one. The last sentence even says that focus is on the Uncanny Valley part and the girl part is just for word play.

Macron's notesI'll start a wick check when I am done with another one I am working on but bumping for feedback on the trope's concept.
Macron's notesFunnily enough, I think actual horror show examples teeter on being chairs. I haven't checked that much of the rest, but they seem to be a mix of misuse and similarly defined chairs to "a seemingly perfect high school girl that has something off about her". I don't know how salvageable the concept alone is but I'd be willing to help with the wick check.
Your goateed philistine is sashaying towards us. | 🧱~Tropers/Coachpill This is late but I started Uncanny Valley Girl Wick Check and I will fill out when I feel up to it (busy with IRL + not as active on TVT). You can contribute if you still want to.

Uncanny Valley Girl has been bothering me for a while. The trope ("a seemingly perfect high school girl that has something off about her) doesn't have much to do with Uncanny Valley despite the description and the examples are all over the places (many of them are just examples of Cute and Psycho or Bitch in Sheep's Clothing).
I looked into an old TRS thread
and apparently this trope was supposed to be renamed but that never happened. Looks like it could have been something like Perfectly Unnatural Girl.
That's more in line with the description but I am not sure how that looks in practice, if it's covered by other tropes we have, and if the definition needs to be specific to high school girls.
