Not to be confused with with the identically titled Literature/GamerGirl2008 young adult novel by Mari Mancusi.

* {{Animesque}}: Along with having a manga style cover, ''Gamer Girl'' is bursting with anime tropes, from [[{{MangaEffects}} manga-like facial expressions]], to long, [[{{ShonenDemographic}} Shonen]]-esque fights, to wacky [[{{GagSeries}} gag anime]]-style comedy.
* BashBrothers: Ralphie and Kazé are best friends whose [[{{CuteBruiser}} close quarters brawler]] and [[{{LongRangeFighter}} long range support]] fighting styles complement each other in battle.

* CulturalStereotypes: Most of the superhero and superfan characters in ''Gamer Girl'' adhere to the cultural stereotypes associated with their aliases. For example, Ralphie/Gamer Girl is a geeky, socially awkward teenager [[{{MurderSimulator}} with an enthusiasm for violence]] and only one friend at school.
* {{Fangirl}}: Kazé is the self-proclaimed number one fan of the superhero Golden Boy as well as a superhero fangirl generally. Interestingly, her fandom seems to encompass both the real superheroes of the ''Gamer Girl'' [[{{TheVerse}} Verse]] and fictional superheroes from Creator/{{Marvel|Comics}} and Creator/DCComics.

* GamerChick: Ralphie frequently makes use of her in-depth video game knowledge to solve problems as a superhero, summoning everything from a ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' Falcon Punch to giant ''{{Tetris}}'' tetrominoes to a ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' Charger mount in order to [[spoiler:defeat the Canine.]]

'''Warning''': Contains swearing, graphic violence, and British humour.

''Gamer Girl'' is an ongoing [[{{Superhero}} superhero]] action comedy [[{{WebSerialNovel}} web serial novel]] written by Joe Berridge Beale. It follows the bizarre adventures of Ralphie Hero, aka Gamer Girl, a superheroine with the superpower to summon the items and abilities of video game player characters. Working alongside her partner Comikazé ‘Kazé’ Maniakku, aka Fangirl, a superhero fanatic with an electric fan gun, Ralphie sets out to make a name for herself in a city already full of crime fighters. Between the monsters, the supervillains, and Ralphie’s mild sociopathic tendencies, it does not go well.

* TheOldCountry: In ''Gamer Girl'' #2: Revolution Part 2, Tomboy refers to the United Nations member states as the ''old countries'' collectively. This makes sense since Superia is comprised of exiles from across the world.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: As seen in...Tomboy and Girly Girl. Tomboy is a loudmouthed, scruffy, baseball bat-wielding rabble-rouser while Girly Girl is an affectionate, makeup and perfume-wearing fashionista.
* UnitedNationsIsASuperpower: The United Nations holds the authority to be exile any paranormal being to a North Atlantic archipelago called the Nine Hundred Islands, of which Superia is a part. This is done in order to free UN member states of "paranormal problems". Thus, the ''Gamer Girl'' [[{{TheVerse}} Verse]] United Nations acts as a sort of international immigration enforcement/hazard containment agency.

* MultipleReferencePun: A staple of the serial. Kazé/Fangirl is a superhero ''fangirl'' who uses an ''electric fan gun'', the Canine is a literal ''canine'' covered in ''canine teeth'', and Body Woman is a US-style body woman with the superpower to manipulate people's ''bodies''. Ba dum tsss!

* FictionalCountry: Superia, the nation in which ''Gamer Girl'' is set, is a fictional North Atlantic island country inhabited by superhumans and superhuman-sympathetic humans who have been exiled from their home countries by the United Nations.

* CulturalStereotypes: Most of the superhero and super lifestyler characters in ''Gamer Girl'' adhere to the cultural stereotypes associated with their aliases. For example, Ralphie/Gamer Girl is a geeky, socially awkward teenager [[{{MurderSimulator}} with an enthusiasm for violence]] and only one friend at school.

* CityOfWeirdos: Super City, the main setting of ''Gamer Girl'', is home to [[{{DifferentlyPoweredIndividual}} superhumans]], [[{{Superhero}} superheroes]], [[{{SuperSoldier}} super soldiers]], super spies, [[{{Miko}} shrine maidens]], monsters, [[HunterOfMonsters monster hunters]], ''omnist'' priests, and super lifestylers, a subculture of superhero fans who wear superhero-esque costumes and use [[{{SomethingPerson}} aliases]] as an everyday lifestyle choice. Because of this, strange people and bizarre occurrences have become a part of the citywide status quo.
