Line 7:
=== Cady Heron ([[Lindsay Lohan]]) ===
{{quote|
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: After [[Becoming the Mask]]
Line 17:
* [[Tragic Hero]]: Actually manages to be a near-textbook example.
* [[True Neutral]] -> [[Chaotic Good]] -> [[Lawful Evil]] -> [[Neutral Good]]
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]
=== Regina George ([[Rachel McAdams]]) ===
Line 25:
* [[Blondes Are Evil]]
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Regina George, the butt of all of Cady's tricks and pranks. [[Jerkass|She probably deserves it, though.]]
* [[Can't Get Away
* [[The Chessmaster]]: Comes up with her plan to get revenge on Cady and throw the entire school into chaos whilst screaming her lungs out.
* [[Even the Girls Want Her]]
Line 32:
** Tina Fey comments on this commentary and notes that Regina at her fattest in the movie is probably around Tina Fey's own weight.
* [[Jerkass]]
** [[Jerk
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Manipulative Bitch]]
* [[Neutral Evil]] -> [[Chaotic Neutral]]/[[Chaotic Good]]
* [[Politically-Incorrect Villain]]: Regina isn't afraid of casually calling people "retarded".
* [[Rich in Dollars, Poor In Sense]]: Regina in a specific example. She could rattle off several mostly-illegal weight loss drugs (most of which either were expensive before being banned or would be expensive to ship from countries where they're still legal.) Yet, she didn't know enough about health and nutrition to know whether or not butter is a carb. It's especially egregious because almost any health class is going to teach nutrition and in general, most teenage girls are so body-conscious that they know more about nutrition than most professional dietitians.
* [[Spoiled Brat]]
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: When she realizes that Cady deliberately made her gain weight. But then she recovers almost immediately and turns right back into the Chessmaster.
Line 47 ⟶ 48:
* [[Informed Judaism]]
* [[Lawful Evil]] -> [[Lawful Neutral]]
* [[Minion
* [[So Beautiful
* [[Stepford Smiler]]
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: '''"STAB CEASAR!!!"'''
Line 62 ⟶ 63:
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Gretchen.
* [[Kissing Cousins]]
* [[Minion
* [[The Pollyanna]]: As well as being the least malicious Plastic she's easily the happiest too, lacking Regina's rage, Gretchen's crippling neurose, or Cady's need to fit in. She's even aware of (and comfortable with) the knowledge she's not very bright.
* [[Token Good Teammate]]
Line 88 ⟶ 89:
* [[Important Haircut]]: Offscreen. After Regina spread the rumor in middle school that Janis was a lesbian, Janis dropped out of school for the rest of the year; when she returned in the fall, "all her hair was cut off, and she was totally weird."
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Janis, who, despite influencing and encouraging Cady to join the Plastics specifically to damage Regina, gets zero comeuppance when she reveals it to the entire crowd of girls following the revelation of the Burn Book.
* [[Named After Somebody Famous]]: Shares her name with [[Singer-songwriter]] [[w:Janis Ian|Janis Ian]].
* [[Not So Different]]: Though Janis wants revenge on Regina, she's as spiteful and manipulative as she is when it comes to Cady.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: When she realizes that Cady has [[Becoming the Mask|become the mask]].
Line 96 ⟶ 98:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners|Opposite-Sexed Homosexual Life Partners]]: With Janis Ian
* [[Paper
