Mean Girls



"Get in, loser, we're going shopping."

- Regina George.

"When this arrogant child asks for something, she not only expects do get it, but also that she'll be pushed to the front of the line."

- Rebecca Brayton describing Veruca Salt on Watchmojo's Top 10 Annoying Kid Characters in Movies.

One of the most famous of all female villains, Mean Girls are one of the rare evildoers who can actually exist - often featured in the high school, fantasy, horror, and comedy genres.

Those in high school films often come across as clique leaders bent on humiliating the heroine and taking the hero as their own. Their evil deeds can range from blackmail and manipulation to psychological abuse and attempted murder.

Ranging from mildly annoying to pure evil, they can go from spoiled rotten brats and wicked witches to power-hungry princesses, Mean Girls are villainesses (usually kids or teenagers) who use vile tactics to keep themselves in the spotlight and/or climb to the top of the food chain. They are often driven by vanity, greed, revenge, and in some cases, power-hungry rage. Mean girls come across as tyrants, liars, con artists, thieves, murderesses, kidnappers, and child abusers. Some of them can be portrayed as sexist stereotypes.

Some of most famous examples are Azula, Regina George, Kathryn Merteuil, Chris Hargensen, Heather Chandler, Angelica Pickles, Princess Morbucks, and Mertle Edmonds.

Whether they're bullying members of their own families or using manipulation to bend others to their will, these girls are sugar, spice, and not very nice.
