Genki Girl: Difference between revisions

* To a lesser degree, Hikaru Shidou from ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]''.

* Mamoru from ''[[Sister Princess]]''.

* Radical Edward from ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]''.

* Cisqua when near money in ''[[Elemental Gelade]]''.

* Ayu in ''[[Kanon]]'', contrasting [[Heavy Sleeper|Nayuki]], [[Tsundere|Makoto]], [[Ill Girl|Shiori]] and [[Emotionless Girl|Mai.]]

* Miyako in ''[[Hidamari Sketch]]''. While she's prone to sleep in class and can sometimes sleep for 12 hours in one go, once she ''is'' awake, she's quite energetic. One episode shows her coming into Yuno's apartment, showing no signs of having awakened two minutes ago; another has Yuno pointing out that she's hyper even in the morning. "That was quick!" is a common phrase applied to her actions, whether she's gobbling down food or making art (usually impromptu). But despite all her teasing, she's a likable person, a good friend... and surprisingly, does well in school!

* Ayumi from ''[[The World God Only Knows]]''. The first time we see her, she sprinted into the main character, sped through the conversation, and ran off. '''Into a wall'''.

* Road Kamelot from ''[[D.Gray-man]]'' is a particularly creepy version.

=== Film -- Animated ===

* Young Ellie from Disney/Pixar's ''[[Up]]!'' is definitely one of these. Her wonderful mania for living makes you feel for her all the more when {{spoiler|she finds that she can't have children.}}

** Trixie the Triceratops from ''3''. Bonnie from the same film seems like she'll grow into one of these as well.

* Dory from ''[[Finding Nemo]].'' Ellen Degeneres, her VA, is a real-life example.

* Suzy Turqoise Blue from ''[[Keys to the Kingdom]]'' is almost perpetually cheerful.

* Wendy from [[John C. Wright]]'s ''[[War of the Dreaming]]''.

* The eponymous character of the ''[[Junie B. Jones]]'' series. So. Much.

* One of the first eccentricities Winterbourne notices about ''[[Daisy Miller]]'' is how she's just overflowing with energy and enthusiasm. "It was many years since he had heard a young girl talk so much."

* Kimmy Gibbler from ''[[Full House]]''.

* Lorelai from ''[[Gilmore Girls]]''. Funnily enough, her daughter Rory is the more grounded one, but Rory has her genki moments as well.

* Abby Scuito on ''[[NCIS]]''.

* Kaylee on ''[[Firefly]]''.

 

=== Tabletop Games ===

* ''[[Pathfinder]]'' ''Curse of the Crimson Throne'' AP gives us allied NPC Laori Vaus, the disturbingly enthusiastic cleric of a god of Pain and Loss (Hellraiser). So genki, she creeps out other members of her church.

** The book she's introduced in includes the wonderful description of how she made her pilgrimage "Armed only with her indomitable optimism and an appetite for pain."

* Sakura Kasugano from ''[[Street Fighter]]''.

* The ''[[King of Fighters]]'' series:

** Yuri Sakazaki becomes one of these later on. She's kinda like that in ''[[Art of Fighting]] 2'' and definitely in the ''Capcom vs. SNK'' games

** Mignon Beart from KOF Maximum Impact. Also, Athena Asamiya, Mai Shiranui, and Metal Slug crossover Fiolina Germi.

** Tiltyu from ''[[Fire Emblem Jugdral|Genealogy of the Holy War]]'' is a tragic example of how a Genki Girl can eventually [[Break the Cutie|break down]] and cannot be Genki anymore for the rest of her life. Sylvia also counts, and for the second half Fee and Patty (and her replacement Daisy) more then fit the bill.

** ''[[Fire Emblem Elibe|Fire Emblem]]'' has Serra ([[Stepford Smiler|for the most part]]), Rebecca and Nino, and ''The Sword of Seals'' has Thany the pegasus knight and Lalam the dancer.

* Yayoi Takatsuki and Hibiki Ganaha from ''[[The Idolmaster (video game)|The Idolm@ster]]''.

** Yayoi literally refers to herself as 200% genki.

* Deconstructed in the [[GTA Radio]] from ''[[Grand Theft Auto Vice City]]'', where Amy from the VCPR station is a Genki Girl who was put on heavy anti-depressants ever since her family was brutally murdered.

* In ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] Explorers'', there's Sunflora. Bianca and Iris in ''[[Pokémon Black and White]]'' also fit the bill.

* Gretchen Hasselhoff from ''[[Backyard Sports]]'', who is both one of the fastest runners and the fastest talker in the series.

* ''[[Touhou Project]]'''s [[Baka|Cirno]] is such a genki girl she gets an [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjXN_xPQd0M entire song] in which to display it. "Chirumiru, chirumiru genki, chirumiru!" Marisa also displays levels of genkiness. What else would you expect from a [[Cute Witch]] that can fire ''a giant [[Wave Motion Gun]]''?

* Kuki Sanban (Numbuh Three) from ''[[Kids Next Door]]''. Her mom's name is even "Genki."

* Gadget from ''[[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (animation)|Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers]]'' is a combination Genki Girl and [[Wrench Wench]].

* Uniqua from ''[[The Backyardigans]]'' is one of those. But in one episode, usually-[[Tsundere]] Tasha got to be the Genki Girl and show her deredere side.

* Dot Hugson from ''[[The Oz Kids]]'' was completely Genki. She also had a cute, witty, tomboyish and humorous personality.

* Kiina's portrayal in ''[[Bionicle]]: The Legend Reborn'' qualify her as one. It's in stark contrast, with how sour she behaved in the novel that takes place before the movie's events—however the movie was written first. It was also the only time we saw this side of hers, but it had already stained her image in the fans' minds.

* Starfire from ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'', partly [[Justified Trope|justified]] in that her powers manifest from unleashing her emotion. (Although all evidence suggests that anger [[Break the Cutie|works]] [[Beware the Nice Ones|better]] in a fight. In the first episode we learn anything about it, she cheerily explains that her starbolts require "righteous wrath".)

* Yo from ''[[Fanboy and Chum Chum]]'' is so genki, she can appear in two places at once.

* Quinn from ''[[Daria]]'' lapses into this at times. Stacey, maybe even more so.

* From the original ''[[My Little Pony]]'' we have Surprise, whom Pinkie is heavily based off in G4. She enjoys pranking people, is very active, and is very loud.

* Stacy Hirano from ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]''.

* Lola Bunny from ''[[The Looney Tunes Show]]''

* Cindy, one of the kindergarteners from ''[[Recess]]''. Miss Grotke can be a mild example at times.
