Simply put, the [['''Cute Ghost Girl]]''' is a female member of the cast who just so happens to be a ghost. Despite this fact, they often look entirely like a normal person (except for the presence of [[Ghost Lights]] and a [[Fog Feet|lack of feet]]), will act accordingly, and are treated more or less normally by the rest of the cast. The whole "they're dead" aspect is not considered a big deal by anyone, and once they are inducted into the cast the fact that they are a ghost will only come up on occasion. Oftentimes, it can be easy to forget that they're a ghost because they act so much like the rest of the cast. . .to the extent that the cute ghost girl herself is sometimes afraid of ghosts.
 
In some cases, the ghost girl will actually have some sort of artificial body that allows them to act even more like a normal human.
 
A subtype of [[Cute Monster Girl]]. Often overlaps with [[Reluctant Monster]], especially when they are first introduced. If the [['''Cute Ghost Girl]]''' is evil and trying to scare the crap out of/curse everybody, she's a [[Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl]].
 
{{examples}}
Line 17:
* Oshizu from ''[[To Love Ru]]''. Has an artificial body made by Mikado-sensei that she possesses.
* Sayo Aisaka (seen above) from ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]''. A little more ghost-y than others, but mainly because nobody can see her. When they finally figure out she exists they start treating her like a normal girl. Currently possesses a Voodoo doll and pilots [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v28/c253/7.html this].
* ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'' has Sayaka, an [[Ill Girl]] who was desperate to have some kind of fun before she went to heaven. Botan plays the trope a bit more straight, despite being a [[Shinigami]] instead of a ghost. There's a scene in the manga where she has to rush back to Reikai, and Yanagisawa freaks out because her body suddenly falls over--whatover—what he doesn't see is that she's ''left it behind'' and is flying away on her oar.
** In the anime, Sayaka's story was different. She was still a [[Cute Ghost Girl]], but actually was an employee of Koenma who has to keep Yuusuke on check to see if he's really worthy of being revived.
* Many female Shinigami in ''[[Bleach]]'' technically qualify, although the human spirits like the one Ichigo helps in the first chapter are probably closer to this.
** Orihime was one of these in the pilot chapter, and if you don't think that tiny!Rukia is adorable as well, there's something wrong with you.
Line 31:
* Arashi and Kaja from ''[[Natsu no Arashi]]!''. While they actually are ghost girls, to the uninformed, they display no signs of actually being dead. {{spoiler|Later on, another two girls called Kanako and Yayoi are introduced, and are revealed to be ghosts as well}}
* Mitsu from ''[[Honey Crush]]'', the main character.
* One of the cast of ''[[Di Gi Charat]] [[Continuity Reboot|Nyo!]]'' is one of these. Her name is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Yurei]].<ref>[[Don't Explain the Joke|Japanese for "ghost"]]</ref>.
* ''Panyo Panyo [[Di Gi Charat]]'' finds the girls helping one who has the [[Ghostly Goals|Ghostly Goal]] of learning to ride a bicycle -- shebicycle—she apparently needed and failed to for a part when she was a child actress in life. It's not outright revealed that she's a ghost until the end of the episode, but there's mention of the studio being haunted beforehand that might lead the viewer to suspect.
* Omiyo from ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]''. In one chapter, she has Fuyuki examine a photo for possible ghosts, which is hardly the strangest thing that happens in the house.
* Kagome meets one of them in [[Inuyasha]]. The girl's name name was Mayu, her little brother was Souta's best friend [[Ill Boy|and was in the hospital]], {{spoiler|and Mayu herself died in a fire (the same one that let her brother hospitalised) after a huge fight with her mom, thus her spirit was poisoned by hate and anger and couldn't rest in peace. Kagome has to save her from going to Hell due to her rage.}}
Line 40:
* A few in ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]'', all of whom Ataru flirts with. Nagisa is the most notable, being a [[Wholesome Crossdresser]] and thus a gender flipped version. The cast figures out that he's a boy only because [[All Men Are Perverts|Ataru and Mendou]] start to wonder why they're ''not'' flirting with Nagisa. He soon gets a physical form and romantically pursues fellow crossdresser Ryunosuke, his [[Arranged Marriage|fiancee]].
* {{spoiler|Mayoi Hachikuji}} of ''[[Bakemonogatari]]''. The fact that she's a ghost is only ever mentioned in one episode.
* Alice McCoy of ''[[Digimon Tamers]]'' might be one--itone—it's never made clear whether or not she's dead.
* ''[[Koko wa Greenwood]]'' had a one-episode character of a girl who died prior to getting to date and is determined to have a good date before she passes on. {{spoiler|She has so much fun that she decides to stick around at the end of the episode.}}
* Jolokia-tan in ''Habanero-tan''. It's a [[Stealth Pun]], as naga jolokia is also known as "ghost pepper".
Line 91:
* D from [[Trace Memory]]. He manages to freak Ashley out at first, since she'd never seen a ghost before, but after that, he's basically harmless and just wants to move on.
* Several of the ghosts in ''[[Luigi's Mansion|Luigis Mansion]]'' straddle the line between this and [[Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl]].
* Since it covers a lot of [[Cute Monster Girl|Cute Monster Girls]]s, ''[[Touhou]]'' naturally has a few, with the ghost princess Yuyuko Saigyouji being the most famous one. Her [[Battle Butler]], Youmu Konpaku, is [[Half-Human Hybrid|half-ghost]] (don't ask how that works).
** [[Completely Missing the Point|Same way as in Exalted?]]
** It should be noted that Youmu actually is afraid of ghosts.
Line 104:
* Lolita Goth from ''[[The Sims]]'' ''3'', who is also prone to [[Wild Mass Guessing]]. She's not in the Goth family tree, but she's arguably one of the favorites in the game.
* {{spoiler|Maya Amano's ghost-girl}} in ''[[Persona 2]]''. She's the most adorable little girl as a human, but admit it, the sailor outfit is twice as precious in 'transparent blue'.
* In [[My Sims]], you might get to see a [[Cute Ghost Girl]] named Cassandra wandering around town. She is also the only source of the rare Ghost essence, which she'll drop if you be nice to her. Oddly enough, you can plant a Ghost essence and it'll grow into a Ghost tree that drops more Ghost essences.
** And in [[The Sims]] 3, you can get a (male) ghost to have sex with one of your (female) sims, then having a 50% chance of having a ghost kid as one of your sims. You can also make them have kids with another ghost, but for that you'll need some cheating...
* One of the playable characters in the ''[[Puyo Puyo]]'' series is Yu, an energetic ghost girl. Later games pair her up with her twin brother Rei, who, while not nearly as energetic as his sister, is just as cute and harmless.
