Six-Student Clique



A standard of teen sitcoms and dramas, the Six-Student Clique is an ensemble that has members fall into standard teen archetypes. This was particularly common in The Nineties, so it sometimes overlaps with Five-Token Band.

Six is a good number because it gives plenty of choices for Shipping without going into Loads and Loads of Characters. And with a Gender Equal Ensemble, you have the option of Cleaning Up Romantic Loose Ends. Or not.


 * The Head -- Usually but not always the main character, if there is one. Clever but Book Dumb, he uses his brain to get what he wants. He can go from being a Standardized Leader to being similar to The Muscle to having a bit of The Ace or Schemer in him. Often the Deadpan Snarker, or another similar role that lets him use his mouth to get out of trouble.
 * The Muscle -- Sometimes a Jerk Jock, a character that is depicted as being particularly strong or athletic. Is not Always Male, as there are many female characters who can fit into this role. May or may not be Book Dumb.
 * The Quirk -- Usually depicted as a nerd, though there are some exceptions. Very smart, yet not very world savvy, this role is usually but not always male, as girls often fit the Wild One. Similiar to the Wacky Guy.
 * The Pretty One -- She is the beauty of the group, often the one being fought over. Sometimes surprises people by having a lot of brains. Sometimes, she's a ditzy chick. The key is that she's considered attractive by the rest of the cast. Using hair color metaphors, she's most likely to be the Dumb Blonde, though actual blonde hair is not a requirement, and neither is stupidity.
 * The Smart one -- Like the Quirk, but without the quirks. That is, the smart one. Most likely to freak out at the prospect of getting The "B" Grade. Often a Soapbox Sadie and/or a Straw Feminist. If the school has a student council, she's the Class Representative or the Student Council President. In hair color metaphors, she's most likely to be the Brainy Brunette.
 * The Wild one -- Usually, this slot will be reserved for a girl (or sometimes a boy) who is either as quirky as the Quirk or a really wild child (dramas). The key is that she's independent and makes her own rules, whether that be as The Ladette, the Granola Girl, The Fashionista, the Biker Babe, etc. In hair color metaphors, she's most likely to be the Fiery Redhead.

This is the standard version, although variations do occur. The main thing is to fill all six roles. Trying to fit any group of six into this trope runs the risk of Square Peg, Round Trope.

Typically, the Head, the Muscle and the Quirk are male, while the Pretty One, the Smart One and the Wild One are female. Although none of them are Always Male or Always Female, this generalization can make it easier to classify the characters if some of them have characteristics of more than one role.

Sometimes a seventh character can be added -- usually an upperclassman -- to bring either a Foil to the main clique (comedy) or a teenaged Obi Wan (drama). Stories attempting realism may avoid exaggerating these personality traits too much, under the assumption that kids that different generally don't hang around each other in real life.

 * Marissa is explicitly the Pretty One in series, Summer is arguably the Smart One, and Taylor is probably the closest to the Wild One you'll find. Also, Seth's the Head and Ryan's the Muscle, and they don't really have a third guy most of the time.

 * The Muscle -- Flash Thompson
 * The Quirk -- Harry Osborn
 * The Pretty One -- Mary Jane Watson
 * The Smart One -- Gwen Stacy
 * The Wild One -- Liz Allen
