Line 8:
She's often cute, [[Genki Girl|almost to the]] [[Kawaiiko|point of twee]]. She's affectionate, too. But she also has [[The Glomp|a grip like a hydraulic press]], and seems to want to be an article of clothing wrapped around the body of the guy she likes. Woe to him if he so much as [[Green-Eyed Monster|looks at another girl]] (or if another girl looks at ''him''), for she's usually armed with an [[Armor-Piercing Slap]], a [[Megaton Punch]] or a [[Hyperspace Mallet]], and she's willing to use it on him whether he invited the attention or not. She's the '''Clingy Jealous Girl''', and she can be anywhere on the spectrum from a [[Mad Love|fondly-regarded nuisance]] to a [[Stalker with a Crush|psycho stalker]].
If she's a [[Yandere]], she'll snap and try to [[Murder the Hypotenuse]] at least once. Especially [[If I Can't Have You]]. If she's a [[Tsundere]] instead, her violence towards the male lead will be a [[Running Gag]]. If she
Expect her to be the victim of ''lots'' of fan bashing for [[Die for Our Ship|getting in between The Hero and his True Love]], even if she actually loses. If she ''does'' manage to start a relationship with her object of affections, it will range anywhere from annoying gushing, [[All Take and No Give]], or even [[Love Martyr]]dom.

== Literature ==
* Blanche Ingram from ''[[Jane Eyre]]'', but she doesn't have any real affection for Rochester - she's just a [[Rich Bitch]] [[Gold Digger]]. Easily gotten rid of when Rochester lets a rumor reach her saying (falsely) that he's broke.
* Ron's girlfriend Lavender Brown in ''[[
** Ginny veers towards this trope a bit in ''[[
* Snork Maiden of ''[[The Moomins]]''. Partially inverted in that she's Moomins' actual love interest and hence is justified in becoming really clingy whenever he falls in love with a block of wood (yes, this actually happens).
* Eponine of ''[[Les Misérables]]'' is notable for being about as clingy and jealous as you can get while still remaining [[The Woobie]]. While she desperately wants Marius to pay attention to her, she lacks the self-confidence and the boldness that would make her fit the trope. Obviously, {{spoiler|trying to get him and herself killed on the barricade}} is taking clinginess to an extreme level, but she had lost all hope at that point.
