A beauty without brains, the Slutty Girl is doomed in literature to always be the bridesmaid, and never the bride.
Mortal Enemy: The Teenage/Adult Heroine
Relationship status: Recently single (her ex is the leading male) or ready to cheat on her nameless Boytoy
Interesting note: When described by the Teenage Heroine, her name is often replaced by her hair color, title (cheer leader), or slut/whore. When described by the Hero, she is always fake.
Habitat: Making out (how disgusting!) in the heroine's periphery, desperately hanging off the heroine's love interest, anywhere invitations need handing out and the heroine needs snubbing, cheer practice, dances, or (if she's older) hanging around a bar
Rarely seen: Being publicly embarrassed after she challenges the heroine about something
Physical Attributes:
Blonde
Too skinny; Teenage Heroine will likely inform you that Slutty Girl has an eating disorder
Too much make up (Teenage Heroine tends to highlight lipstick and often, for some weird reason, poor makeup/spray tan application; Teen Heroine almost always has a sarcastic/funny comment about orange skin)
Too perfect
Wears expensive and often inappropriate clothes. The smaller the size and more eye-popping the shirt, the better.
Too loud; she's always chatting and laughing and distracting
Default expressions: Sneer; sickeningly fake smile
Personality Traits:
Popular
Dumb
Hates the Teenage Heroine for reasons often unknown
Is frequently made fun of by Teenage Heroine, but tends to leave in a huff instead of engaging her because let's face it, she ain't smart enough for comebacks
Is not good at whatever it is Teenage Heroine is good at
Weaknesses:
Heroine
Common background info:
She was born to bother the heroine.
Has almost no further personality or description beyond what's provided here. Seriously. Slutty Girl is one of the least developed characters in writing!
