The Girl Next Door is a Stock Character (and frequently a potential Love Interest for the male protagonist) who is open, approachable, and unassuming: the girl he thinks of as his best friend, his childhood pal, even just One of the Boys. She'll usually embody a "wholesome" sort of femininity and she's rarely the promiscuous sort, though she might play the foil to a woman who is. Since her characterization is built on her accessible, down-to-earth personality, she's often cute but never to the point that her looks are her defining feature: she might be the prettiest girl at church, or the coffee shop's best-tipped waitress, but she'll be never surrounded by guys eager to do Favors for the Sexy. And if she does attract attention with her appearance, she's more likely to be annoyed or embarrassed than flattered. Her disposition ranges from even-tempered to playful. She will always be easy to talk to and usually a good listener. But she also tends to be frank with her opinions and expects the same in return. If she's one of the hero's two romantic options, she'll be more stable but less exciting compared to her rival, who will have more obvious sex appeal but be much harder to approach. Girls of this nature will often appear in Harems, usually as the inevitably Unlucky Childhood Friend of the protagonist, or the less flashy option in a Love Triangle. In non-romantic stories, she'll either be best friends with one of the others, or she may be the Cool Big Sis. She may even form part of the Beta Couple. The Spear Counterpart, the Boy Next Door, is the same archetype and usually serves in the same romantic role(s). Often overlaps with One of the Boys. Contrast with Head-Turning Beauty and Peerless Love Interest. Also compare The All-American Boy, who might well be her High School Sweetheart. When the Girl Next Door actually lives next door, then that's Literally Loving Thy Neighbor. For the 2004 film, see The Girl Next Door. For the 2007 film, see The Girl Next Door. For Numbuh 3 and Numbuh 5, see Codename: Kids Next Door. For the French sitcom of this note in translation name, go to Les Filles d'à côté. Also not to be mistaken for Crystal Bernard's album, The Girl Next Door or the webcomic Girls Next Door. Examples |

Gender-flipped in Meet Me in St. Louis where Esther Smith has a massive crush on John Truitt who recently moved in next door. Her first solo is a song titled "The Boy Next Door" about how much she adores him even though he doesn't appear to have noticed her. John is a kind and polite guy who has a habit of putting his foot in his mouth when trying to talk to Esther. | |

Bleach: Tatsuki gets mistaken for a boy sometimes, since her hair is short, but she's most definitely a girl. Chizuru even said she'd probably hit on Tatsuki, IF she weren't such a tomboy. Orihime and Tatsuki's other school friends count too: Michiru is the cute and homey kind, Mahana is the more active and tomboyish type, and Kunieda is the smart and quiet Cute Bookworm. |

The film The Girl Next Door clearly subverts this trope, as said girl is a retired porn actress played by Elisha Cuthbert. The main character only discovers this after they start dating, and it leads to a temporary rift in their relationship. Still, since she's basically a Hooker with a Heart of Gold, they get back together at the end. | |

The titular character from iCarly, Carly Shay. Cute and feminine but not overtly sexual, Freddie's known her for a long time, and they have the Childhood Friend Romance and Just Friends thing going on. Carly is popular at school and with her webshow without being the Alpha Bitch, and will rebel against authority if she perceives unfairness in the treatment of her friends. Carly does have enough aspects of the Genki Girl to qualify her for that as well, but there Ain't No Rule that says she can't be The Genki Girl Next Door. | |

My Adventures with Superman re-designs leading lady, Lois Lane, as a shorthaired tanned tomboy, who typically wears T-shirts with either gym shorts, yoga pants, or sweat pants. Her personality was also revamped to go along with her new image by portraying her as Clark and Jimmy's playfully snarky best friend. All of which makes her a stark contrast to her previous incarnations from the comics and movies, which usually made Lois look more like a fashion model. | |

Fire Emblem: The series as a whole has a few, though they can be HEAVILY disputed. Counting by appearance, there's Caeda/Sheeda, Lilina, and Tana. Note that all three of these girls are royalty (more or less; Lycia's not a monarchy but Lilina's father is nevertheless the head of a country). Then again, the same is true of their love interests, so it's all relative. In Fire Emblem: Awakening, if Chrom doesn't have enough supports or love points with any of his prospect girlfriends before Chapter 11, he's slated to marry and have Lucina with a girl from an Ylissean village, only known as the Village Maiden. In her first and only appearance, she fits in here to a T: she's sweet, soft-spoken, and she and Chrom seem to be pretty Happily Married. |

To some extent, Alyx from Half-Life 2. Only debatable thing is that when she was living in Black Mesa, she was only a baby.

School Rumble: Mikoto's a looker, but she's basically one of the guys. So her attractiveness stems more from her chest, since most guys are intimidated by her height and athleticism. Asou was one of the few to not be put-off by it and briefly dated her.note However, it's rumored that he broke up with her after she repeatedly outscored him at an arcade game. And, in School Rumble Z, it's revealed that she eventually married Hanai. | |

Supernatural. The episode "Girl Next Door" shows a young Sam Winchester falling for this trope as his first love. Naturally she turns out to be a demon, but she still shows all the decency of this trope, saving his life from her malevolent and abusive demon mother. Unfortunately they meet again as adults and things don't work out so well. | |

Betty Cooper in Riverdale, a CW reboot of the Archie comics franchise, not only is the modernised version of the original Betty, but she's genuinely nice, pretty, and academically inclined. Her bedroom window is literally across the street from Archie's, too. She turns into Unlucky Childhood Best Friend after her unsuccessful Love Confession to Archie, but then develops an unexpected albeit supportive romance with her fellow Intrepid Reporter Jughead Jones.note In case any-one missed this, Riverdale is what happens when Twin Peaks meets Archie's Comics. | |

Final Fantasy VII: Tifa was originally an aversion, as she used to have the look (and body) of a supermodel. Square Enix redesigned her appearance for Advent Children, by shortening her hair to about shoulder-length, reduced her bust size, and gave her a more realistically proportioned figure along with a much more conservative outfit. Which was done because Nomura wanted her to have the look of a modern working-class woman. In short: he deliberately invoked the trope to make her seem more approachable. | |

There is an unusual example in Welcome to the NHK. Misaki Nakahara is a literal Girl Next Door whose innocence and rather plain beauty is, at first, an integral part of her relationship with Satou, combining this trope with Manic Pixie Dream Girl. However, both tropes become subverted when she is slowly revealed to exhibit nearly every symptom of a textbook case of Borderline Personality Disorder, including extreme self-esteem issues, self-harm, skewed social perspective, and an unhealthy (suicidally so) obsession with Satou. | |

Penny from The Big Bang Theory. She moves into the apartment across the hall in the first episode and that alone gave Leonard some hope that she might become interested in him. She is consistently portrayed as a fairly down-to-earth and friendly girl who helps fill in the gaps in the guys' social skills. Still, as she and Leonard start dating, it's made fairly clear that if they weren't neighbors he wouldn't have had much of a shot with her. | |

The Babysitter (2017): 12-year old Melanie counts as a literal example to her classmate, Cole, because she lives in the house directly across the street from his. The film also contrasts her with Cole's babysitter, Bee, by presenting Melanie as a cute blonde girl, whereas Bee is a hot blonde teenager. | |

The Legend of Zelda series features numerous females, several of whom, fall under this category: Ocarina of Time has Link's best friend, Saria, who is the most popular girl in Kokiri Village. Though her looks are best described as childlike, since the Kokiri don't age beyond their early adolescent years. Which is why she physically resembles a 13-14 year old girl, despite possibly being much older. Malon is another example from the same game. As a ranch-hand, she's presented as having a natural, rustic beauty, whose appearance is that of a simple Farm Girl. Twilight Princess has Ilia who, despite being the Mayor's daughter, has the look and personality of a farm girl instead - from her short blonde hair, to her love of nature and her habit of going barefoot. Skyward Sword casts the namesake character herself in the role, being the daughter of the headmaster and a close-but-mostly-platonic friend of Link at the start of the game. |

Subverted with Habara from Daily Lives of High School Boys. As the Distaff Counterpart to the main character Tadakuni, you might expect her as this for Toshiyuki Karasawa. While her current personality would suggests this, she was formerly the most feared bully in elementary school and was responsible for Karasawa's scar on his head. Despite being a Nice Girl nowadays (mostly), all boys including Karasawa still fear her and they would pay her or her friends money rather than dating her. Funnily enough, Habara believes that Karasawa is in love with her, delusional about the fact that he obviously hates her. | |

Later, when Vyse establishes their new HQ on Crescent Isle, her flat is directly across from his, on the villa's second floor. In terms of attractiveness, she has a tomboyish charm about her that's been noted as being reminiscent of Pippi Longstocking. While her hips and legs are said to be the most notable aspects of her figure. |

Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy VII: Tifa was originally an aversion, as she used to have the look (and body) of a supermodel. Square Enix redesigned her appearance for Advent Children, by shortening her hair to about shoulder-length, reduced her bust size, and gave her a more realistically proportioned figure along with a much more conservative outfit. Which was done because Nomura wanted her to have the look of a modern working-class woman. In short: he deliberately invoked the trope to make her seem more approachable. Final Fantasy X-2: The same can be said of Yuna and her cousin, Rikku, who're presented as a pair of fun loving teens. Both are cute and have modest figures, though Rikku certainly doesn't dress modestly. |

Spider-Man: Played with in regard to Gwen Stacy. Gwen was more of an exotic flower whom Peter only met after he left Forest Hills and "went out into the world", i.e. Manhattan and college. She came from an upper-class background, her father was a respected elder citizen of New York who belonged to the same gentlemen's club as millionaires J. Jonah Jameson and Norman Osborn. Her boyfriend before Peter was Harry Osborn, the prospective heir of Norman, and in her first appearance, she was introduced as a high-school beauty queen. However, as she became the Betty to Mary Jane's Veronica, she moved into this category. Mary Jane, in all versions but the original. Amusingly, Mary Jane was literally a girl next door in the original, as the niece of Aunt May's next-door neighbor, and coming from the same working-class Queens background that Peter did. She literally became this Trope in the Ultimate universe, having lived next door to the Parkers since she was a little girl and, before their Relationship Upgrade, was the geeky best friend of an equally-as-geeky Peter. |

Mary, the protagonist of the movie Saved!, is played as one of these; more importantly, she doesn't lose the general demeanor even after becoming pregnant. This is meant to show Mary as genuinely filled with the Christian spirit of compassion, in order to contrast Mary with her Alpha Bitch rival, who attends the same Christian school environment as her but is hypocritical about being "filled with Christ's love". | |

Variable Geo: Satomi is the 'plainest' looking girl among the cast, having short mussy hair and a beauty mark on her left cheek. She's also shown to be honest and a hard worker, having two jobs to support herself and her kid brother. | |

Astro City: The Silver Agent explicitly describes his first girlfriend as this. He broke off with her because he was sterile, but told her It's Not You, It's My Enemies because she would have tried to stifle her dreams for him. | |

From Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Willow is straight up this, while Buffy's toughness mixed with her femininity make her character average out. The first 2 seasons, Buffy is very much this trope, befriending underdogs, having quick come-backs and being especially peppy. She's also naive & somewhat awkward around guys she likes, and Xander is her male Unlucky Childhood Friend. Over time, however, a lot of "break the cutie" occurs, turning her into a 99% Crusader. Willow (who has a lot of the Librarian traits) also turns into a Crusader by the end, having lost her naive innocence along with Buffy. |

Mega Man Battle Network: Mayl Sakurai lives next to Lan and they've been friends for almost their entire lives. In a flip of the usual dynamic, she's the one who has feelings for Lan and he doesn't seem to pick up on it. They end up Happily Married at the end of Battle Network 6. Zig-Zagged between Sonia and Luna in Mega Man Star Force. At first blush, Sonia is the Girl Next Door and Luna is the Uptown Girl, given that Sonia is approachable and develops a close friendship with Geo at a time when he had no friends, while Luna, by contrast, is a wealthy Tsundere. However, Luna lives right down the street from Geo and goes to the same school, while Sonia is a Teen Idol who Geo rarely gets to see. |

In Fire Emblem: Awakening, if Chrom doesn't have enough supports or love points with any of his prospect girlfriends before Chapter 11, he's slated to marry and have Lucina with a girl from an Ylissean village, only known as the Village Maiden. In her first and only appearance, she fits in here to a T: she's sweet, soft-spoken, and she and Chrom seem to be pretty Happily Married. | |

Maggie in How I Met Your Mother is explicitly described as this, which attracted many guys to her. She eventually ends up with her literal boy next door. There's even a montage of them being shown at different ages, from when they first met as children to them growing old together. | |

Julie Sims in 1632 is a Girl Next Door with a rifle. She's described as being pretty, but not much more, and aside from occasional bouts of angst is fairly level-headed. | |

Monica Geller from Friends is a bossier and sexier version than most, but is down to earth, maternal, and The Heart of the group. She lives across the hall from Joey (who was originally going to be her love interest) and Chandler (her eventual boyfriend and husband). | |
