History Main / CuteGhostGirl

* ''Manga/HereIsGreenwood'' had a one-episode character of a girl who died prior to getting to date and is determined to have a good date before she passes on. [[spoiler:She has so much fun that she decides to stick around at the end of the episode.]]

* Sarah from Anime/DaisukiBuBuChaCha

* [[spoiler:Hannah Stein]] from ''Film/{{Goosebumps}}'' at the end when she revealed that she is [[spoiler:DeadAllAlong a ghost after she died from a house fire]].

* In the ''Literature/{{Goosebumps}}'' book, The Ghost Next Door, [[spoiler:Hanna Fairchild turns out to have been a ghost all along. She realized that the boy is ''still alive''.]]

* A musical example would be "Little Ghost", by the Music/{{The White Stripes}}:

** ''Undefined Fantastic Object'' adds in Captain Minamitsu Murasa.

** ''Ten Desires'' adds in Soga no Tojiko, who has ''two'' ghost tails in the place of legs.

** While not ghosts themselves, all of the Elite Four members who specialize in Ghost-types (except for Agatha) certainly classify as cute girls. (Shauntal from VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite also counts as a CuteGlassesGirl)

* Far too many fanworks to list turn Film/TheRing's Sadako into a Cute Ghost girl [[TheWoobie to be hugged]] instead of feared. Some apply DefangedHorrors by using her iconic coming-out-of-the-screen sequence... out of a ''[[FunSize smartphone]]'' screen, that is.

* Emilia and some of the other ghost children from the second episode of ''{{WesternAnimation/Villainous}}''.

* ''LightNovel/IveBeenKillingSlimesForThreeHundredYearsAndMaxedOutMyLevel'': An abandoned factory in Nascute is haunted by Rosalie, a semi-transparent teenage ghost girl with two {{Hitodama Light}}s. She starts out trying to drive people away, but quickly befriends Azusa and joins her family. Once they work out a way to break her bond to the factory building, she can travel freely with them.

* Sarah from Anime/Daisuki!BuBuChaCha

* Kagome meets one of them in ''Manga/InuYasha''. The girl's name was Mayu, her little brother was Souta's best friend [[IllBoy and was in the hospital]]. [[spoiler: Mayu herself died when her family's apartment caught fire; the same fire hospitalised her brother. All this happened after Mayu had a huge fight with her mom, which poisoned her spirit with hatred and anger, making her something of a poltergeist. The same episode introduces a spirit that plays with nice ghost-children...and drags nasty ghost-children to Hell. Kagome has to save Mayu from such a fate by convincing her to forgive her mother, and manages to do so.]]

* Ichiko from ''VisualNovel/OtobokuMaidensAreFallingForMe''. [[spoiler: She's actually an IllGirl who once was in love with Mizuho's dead mother, and after dying she kept haunting the room they shared at their boarding school.]]

* ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' has Sayaka, an IllGirl who was desperate to have some kind of fun before she went to heaven. Botan plays the trope a bit more straight, despite being a {{Shinigami}} instead of a ghost. There's a scene in the manga where she has to rush back to Reikai, and Yanagisawa freaks out because her body suddenly falls over--what he doesn't see is that she's ''left it behind'' and is flying away on her oar. In the anime, Sayaka's story was different. She was still a Cute Ghost Girl, but actually was an employee of Koenma who has to observe Yusuke to see if he's really worthy of being revived.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Lucifer}}'', murdered schoolgirl Mona continues her RomanticTwoGirlFriendship with [[ISeeDeadPeople Elaine]], with the fact that she's dead being a comparatively minor thing once they take revenge on her murderer. She can't be seen by normal humans, but the entities who are aware of her treat her with the same level of respect/contempt they would have for living humans.

* One of the playable characters in the ''VideoGame/{{PuyoPuyo}}'' series is Yu, an energetic ghost girl. Later games pair her up with her twin brother Rei, who, while not nearly as energetic as his sister, is just as cute and harmless.

* Melissa Anne Montgomery from ''Lady in White''. She was a cute ghost until she got strangled.

* ''Manga/HauntedJunction'' has Hanako, a ghost who haunts a men's bathroom.

* ''Manga/ReKan'' gives us several examples, but it's [[FunSize the small one]] in white that takes the cake.

* ''LightNovel/IveBeenKillingSlimesForThreeHundredYearsAndMaxedOutMyLevel'':
** Rosalie, who haunted the site of Halkara's second energy drink factory in Nascute, and ended up [[spoiler:becoming a new member of Azusa's family.]]
** Falfa and Shalsha are slime spirits born from the souls of slimes Azusa had killed for 250 years.
* Kuroha from ''LightNovel/RentalMagica''.

* Lah from "Night of the Werehog", an animated short based on ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed''.

[[quoteright:350:[[Manga/MahouSenseiNegima https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sayotransp3_3725.jpg]]]]

* ''Manga/KokoWaGreenwood'' had a one-episode character of a girl who died prior to getting to date and is determined to have a good date before she passes on. [[spoiler:She has so much fun that she decides to stick around at the end of the episode.]]

* Ichiko from ''VisualNovel/OtomeWaBokuNiKoishiteru''. [[spoiler: She's actually an IllGirl who once was in love with Mizuho's dead mother, and after dying she kept haunting the room they shared at their boarding school.]]

* In ''VideoGame/MitsumeteKnight'', [[spoiler: [[MysteriousWaif Anne]]]] is heavy implied to be one due to [[spoiler: her [[{{Backstory}} backstory]] and [[BittersweetEnding her ending]]]].

* [[spoiler: Maya Amano's ghost]] in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 2}}''. She's the most adorable little girl as a human, but admit it, the sailor outfit is twice as precious in "transparent blue".

[[folder:Web Comics]]

* The Zashiki Warashi that lives in Japan's home in ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia''. [[spoiler: It's all but stated that she and the {{Kappa}} have to leave, though, since Japan cannot see them anymore.]]

* Sayo Aisaka (seen pic) from ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima''. A little more "ghostly" than others, but mainly because nobody can see her. When they finally figure out she exists they start treating her like a normal girl. Currently possesses a Voodoo doll and pilots [[spoiler: Asakura's artefact]].

* Since it covers a lot of {{Cute Monster Girl}}s, ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' naturally has a few, with the ghost princess Yuyuko Saigyouji being the most famous one. Her BattleButler, Youmu Konpaku, is [[HalfHumanHybrid half-ghost]] (don't ask how that works). Ironically, Youmu is actually afraid of ghosts.

* Sanae Higashihongan, one of the contenders for Room 106 in ''LightNovel/RokujyoumaNoShinryakusha''. Intangible, unseen, and can possess people (sort of). Very cute and a bit of a {{Tsundere}}.

* Dee Ensy Stratmitos from from ''LightNovel/SundayWithoutGod''. [[spoiler:Although she's not actually dead, and she manifests as a ghost in the outside world because she can't physically leave the sealed city of Ostia.]]

* Kuroha from ''LightNovel/RentalMagica''.

* Yuuko Kanoe from ''Manga/DuskMaidenOfAmnesia''. Although she has a [[StringyHairedGhostGirl scarier]] aspect.

* Nanana from ''LightNovel/NananasBuriedTreasure''. Despite being murdered in her room, she remains upbeat though lonely at times.

* Sanae Higashihongan, one of the contenders for Room 106 in ''LightNovel/RokujyoumaNoShinryakusha''. Intangible, unseen, and can possess people (sort of). Very cute and a bit of a {{Tsundere}}.
* Yuuna Yunohana, the titular character of ''Manga/YuunaAndTheHauntedHotSprings'' who is bound to Yuragi-sou until her lingering regret has been dealt with.

* ''ComicBook/YoungJustice'' had Secret, a sweet and naive ghost girl who showed up in a prequel issue and stuck around. She later becomes human, again.

* Emily, the eponymous ghost in ''ComicBook/AnyasGhost'', is a nice, polite little spirit, wearing an old-fashioned dress and poofy 'dandelion' hair. [[spoiler: Once her true colours of being a ControlFreak and a {{Yandere}} are revealed, she transitions into being a StringyHairedGhostGirl]]

* In ''[[ComicBook/{{Lucifer}} Lucifer]]'', murdered schoolgirl Mona continues her RomanticTwoGirlFriendship with [[ISeeDeadPeople Elaine]], with the fact that she's dead being a comparatively minor thing once they take revenge on her murderer. She can't be seen by normal humans, but the entities who are aware of her treat her with the same level of respect/contempt they would have for living humans.
* Rebecca in ''ComicBook/RequiemVampireKnight'' is a lemure; tortured innocent spirits that other residents of Hell have killed in their lifetime. Despite dying in a very tragic manner as a Holocaust victim (and looking like one), she is very gorgeous as a ghost, with one LesbianVampire saying she is beautiful enough to become Dracula's bride.
* Winifred Spector, part of Elle's GirlPosse (and her secret weapon when it comes to cheating) is this in ''ComicBook/AllGhoulsSchool''.

* In ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' fanfic ''Fanfic/{{ResurrectedMemories}}'': Technically half-ghost and one who spends a lot of time in human form but Ember is one especially when she [[spoiler:starts to fall for Danny]], though for the most part her attitude tends to make her more "hot" then "cute".
* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' of Creator/AAPessimal, Rebecka Smith-Rhodes is the first Witch to be born into a family who have never really selected for magical ability before. As such, she has contact with previous generations of her family who keep an active interest in its fortunes and who are all pleased to be able to speak to a ''living'' member. A family tradition is that the oldest girl in every new generation is named Johanna, in honour of the founding matriarch. Bekki therefore has four deceased Johanna Smith-Rhodeses close to her, who act, individually or as a group, as her [[SpiritAdvisor Spirit Guides]]. Bekki sees them as they were in life: women who led active lives, often in the context of using heavy weaponry with extreme prejudice. She is therefore captivated when the Family founder, Johanna Livinia, manifests one night, not as a woman of seventy but as she appeared in the prime of her life. She is accompanied by Bekki's great-great-grandfather, who she meets for the first time. And by a little girl of about six, who Bekki at first does not recognise. The little girl ghost, in look and mannerism a girl of six, turns out to be Johanna Cornelia - a woman who was mortally wounded in battle in her late twenties and who usually manifests as an adult woman with terrible scars on her face. Johanna Cornelia explains that age is not fixed in the Afterlife. And it's so nice, you know, just to go back to an age and a time when I was ''really happy''. You can do that here. It's a nice thing about being dead. Her parents agree.

* Cute Skeleton Boy, Manolo, after he [[spoiler:dies and goes to the Land of the Remembered]] in ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife''. However, Manolo is more of a cute skeleton, than a creepy one.

* Susie from the Creator/DisneyChannel movie ''Film/SusieQ''
* Kyra, a little girl poisoned by her mother in ''Film/TheSixthSense'', well, sans puking.

* Alice Foster from ''The Ghost Who Ate Chocolate''.

* ''Literature/MadisonAvery'': Main character, Madison, is a ghost and fairly cute (to some readers) to most people.
* In ''Literature/TheLovelyBones'', as well as TheFilmOfTheBook, the main character becomes this early on. As this is the focus of the book, more attention than usual is paid to the fact that she's a ghost.
* Jane Thayer's ''Gus Was a Friendly Ghost'' series is a rare male example. Gus seems to have always "lived" in the attic of an old house (later converted to a museum), and the people he interacts with have no real trouble accepting him as a roommate.
* Myrtle Elizabeth Warren aka "Moaning Myrtle" in ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' is a ghost who [[StockShoujoBullyingTactics essentially died because of bullying]] (she was hiding from the bullies and then ran into a horrible monster). Her appearance isn't traditionally cute (overweight with NerdGlasses and bad hair and skin) and she can be a little unwelcoming (which is understandable since students are ''still'' being jerks to her), but she does really like Harry and helps him out a few times.
* Liza Hempstock from ''Literature/TheGraveyardBook'' was put to death under accusations of witchcraft (which may have been legitimate) and is now a ghost in the graveyard who becomes friends with Bod.
* Karina Ortiz from ''Lovecraft Middle School''. She seems to teleport out of nowhere.
* Sheyenne from ''Literature/DanShambleZombiePI''.

* ''LightNovel/IveBeenKillingSlimesForThreeHundredYearsAndMaxedOutMyLevel'':
** Rosalie, who haunted the site of Halkara's second energy drink factory in Nascute, and ended up [[spoiler:becoming a new member of Azusa's family.]]
** Falfa and Shalsha are slime spirits born from the souls of slimes Azusa had killed for 250 years.

* Esme from ''Dani's Castle'', the sequel to ''Series/DanisHouse''. Although in her case it's frequently acknowledged she's a ghost, and she regularly engages in ghost activities like scaring people.

* Several of the ghosts in ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'' straddle the line between this and StringyHairedGhostGirl.

* Colleen in ''[[VideoGame/TouchDetective Touch Detective 2 1/2]]''.
* [[spoiler: Rosalia]] from ''VideoGame/TraumaTeam''.

* ''VideoGame/FragileDreamsFarewellRuinsOfTheMoon'' features Sai and Chiyo.

* [[DeadpanSnarker Lady Katarina]] from ''VideoGame/TheIncredibleAdventuresOfVanHelsing'' easily qualifies.
* Schall from ''VideoGame/PopNMusic''. She is a FriendlyGhost who lives inside an old piano.

* The ghost from ''WebAnimation/BamanPiderman''.

* ''Webcomic/UnlikeMinerva'' has Nina, the library ghost who is mildly fixated on the protagonist Brisbane. It's left ambiguous, though, as to whether she's actually a ghost or if she just [[NoSocialSkills grew up in the crawlspaces of the library]].
* A few of these show up in ''Webcomic/{{minus}}''., who only the eponymous character can see. The first is a nice kid who doesn't harm anyone, but the second is a JerkAss who can best be described as "minus without her [[AmbiguousInnocence innocence]]", who [[{{Griefer}} goes out of her way to cause trouble]]. ([[spoiler:Though she does have a soft spot for one mortal.]]) Later in the series, [[spoiler:minus herself becomes one of these]], and acts no different from how she did while alive. This starts a chain of events which leads to [[spoiler:everyone on Earth dying and choosing not to come back]], so that by the end of the strip, [[spoiler:every female character would qualify]].
* ''Webcomic/DontLookItSucks'' has Tero, who upon dying shortly after being introduced, turns into a ghost. The cast don't seem to mind much that she's a ghost. [[http://syx.dino-productions.net/comic/111/ Tero, herself, is still afraid of dying.]]
* Shion from ''Webcomic/ExperimentalComicKotone'' goes one step further, actually being able to pass for living...when she remembers to use doors.

* The titular character of ''Webcomic/{{Erma}}''. She's a little StringyHairedGhostGirl who gets up to antics that are [[CreepyCute simultaneously creepy and adorable]].

* Oyama Youko, a teenage revenant from Muertítos. She's a little obese and smart.

* ''Webcomic/{{Crowshed}}'': Elba Hart.

* Evelyn Hooper, one of the two main characters of ''Podcast/LessIsMorgue'', is absolutely this. She [[DeathAsComedy died during a Nickelback concert in 2004]], only to come back in 2020 after her now-roommate [[ToServeMan ate her corpse]]. She's kind, bubbly, endlessly optimistic, and has seemingly limitless enthusiasm for everything from dogs to her favorite childhood cartoons.
* The {{Creepypasta}} story ''Play With Me'', gives us Sally Williams, an innocent girl who was the rape/murder victim of her pedophile uncle Johnny. The experience didn't even corrupt her, so she remains a sad ghost of an innocent little girl. Fan-art often depicts her befriending other monsters of Creepypasta including Slenderman and Jeff the Killer.

* Spectra Vondergeist from ''Toys/MonsterHigh''.

* Pinky from ''WesternAnimation/PacManAndTheGhostlyAdventures''. Her evil male counterpart from the original Hanna-Barbera series is nowhere near cute, but is both funny and stupid.
* Penny P. Plasm from ''WesternAnimation/MightyMagiswords''. She may look cute, but she's dead.

* The female ghost from the ''WesternAnimation/TalkingTomAndFriends'' episode, "The New Old Roommate".

* [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The eponymous ghost]] in ''ComicBook/AnyasGhost'' is a nice, polite little spirit, wearing an old-fashioned dress and poofy 'dandelion' hair. [[spoiler: Of course, she's not quite so lovable after she goes all {{Yandere}} on Anya...]]

* ''Webcomic/KarinDou4koma'': Ran starts out as the vengeful ghost of a girl who was raped and murdered on Halloween. Seren confronts her after she kills a psychopathic pedophile and forcefully convinces her to drop her grudge and become a CuteGhostGirl instead.

* Far too many fanworks to list turn Film/TheRing's Sadako into a CuteGhostGirl [[TheWoobie to be hugged]] instead of feared. Some apply DefangedHorrors by using her iconic coming-out-of-the-screen sequence... out of a ''[[FunSize smartphone]]'' screen, that is.
