History Main / GirlPosse

She always has a posse of well-dressed, mean girls with her, who [[FlatCharacter don't really say anything]] except to parrot her opinions and attitudes--sort of the high school version of EvilMinions meets SatelliteCharacter. If the posse members are slightly more developed, expect at least a [[BetaBitch devoted second-in-command]] (who may or may not [[HiddenDepths be an insecure mess]]), [[BrainlessBeauty a pretty but dimwitted follower]] (who occasionally overlaps with the second-in-command), and possibly [[NaiveNewcomer a new girl]], who will be briefly suckered in by the AlphaBitch.

They are often GossipyHens as well. They are very unlikely to be AFriendInNeed, even to each other. May also overlap with TerribleTrio[[note]]which has the AlphaBitch, [[TheDragon the second-in-command]], and the BrainlessBeauty[[/note]].

** [[spoiler: Dominique and Caitlin got written out of the series after the first episode of the fifth season, and got replaced by Mandy's cousin, ''Mindy'', who's {{Expy basically just like Mandy}}, except she's a DarkSkinnedBlonde with a Southern accent]].

In a HighSchool series, there is always an evil popular girl. We'll call her the AlphaBitch and give her an entry of her own, otherwise she might tell all the cute boys that we have smelly man feet.

* Penny from ''Film/SkyHigh'' herself is an entire Girl Posse.

* ''TheBradyBunch'': The Boosters in the Season 4 episode "Today I Am a Freshman," the group Marcia wants to join. She ultimately doesn't – in part because she failed her initiation (thanks to Peter's volcano) and because she ultimately saw that this Girl Posse isn't whom she wanted to be associated with.

* [[AlphaBitch Mandy]] and her [[FlatCharacter two best friends]], Dominique and Caitlin, in ''TotallySpies''.

* Averted in ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' -- there, neither the AlphaBitch Bonnie nor TheCheerleader leader Kim has any kind of girl posse.

** This movie actually had ''two'' sets of such posses (actually four, if you count both male and female). On the one side for each sex was the contingent of more prototypically 1950s kids who dress like model students, act (superficially) polite, and suck up to all the authority figures they can. Then there are the Pink Ladies and their male counterparts the T-Birds, who wear tight pants and jackets, smoke, swear, play mean-spirited pranks, and generally act rude. Both cliques are shown to be flawed, but it's implied that [[SlobsVersusSnobs the Pink Ladies are somewhat less flawed because they at least are honest about their shortcomings]]. The lesson, I guess, is that it's not really fashion or attitude that makes you cool, but a lack of hypocrisy.

*** This dynamic was [[AffectionateParody affectionately parodied]] in JohnWaters's ''Film/{{Cry-Baby}}''. Despite coming from rather damaged backgrounds, the "Drakes" are completely tolerant and well-meaning while the "squares" border on sociopathic. Accordiing to JohnWaters, there [[TruthInTelevision actually were]] both "Squares" and "Drakes" in Baltimore around that time.

* Sooni of ''TalesOfMU'' got her CatGirl Girl Posse the old fashioned way: daddy bought them for her.

* Nanami's trio of flunkies in ''RevolutionaryGirlUtena'', although they are more independent than usual (specially Keiko).

* Natsumi, Minami and Kumi, the "partners-in-crime" of the UnluckyChildhoodFriend Otome Katou in ''VisualNovel/SchoolDays''. Otome herself is a subversion (she's popular at school, but is more of a [[YouGoGirl sportswoman]] than a cheerleader or RichBitch), but boy do these four act like school bullies when they're together and poor [[TheOjou Kotonoha]] is near...

* Yuki's fanclub in ''FruitsBasket''. The president of the club is Motoko, the AlphaBitch.
* Asai Yuriko, Yamano Minako, and Ayuhara Erika from ''HanaYoriDango'', though they don't have nearly the popularity or influence that the F4 does.

* Subverted in ''LightNovel/{{Toradora}}''. Ami picks up a posse as soon as she transfer to the school, but they're both nice girls who get along with the protagonist clique, and even tell Ami to dial it back when she gets bitchy.
* Megumi Furuta and Miyuki Sonobe from ''OniisamaE'', companions to [[AlphaBitch Aya Misaki]]. [[spoiler: Episode 30, however, gives them some HiddenDepths since they truly like and support Aya... and the Sorority seniors try to use their affection for her to their own benefit.]]

* ''Series/{{Community}}'' gave this trope a great sendup in the episode "The Aerodynamics of Gender". Britta, Annie, and Shirley decided to take a Women's study course for some girl time, but are taken aback when Abed says he wants to go too. A Girl Posse of 3 {{Alpha Bitch}}es (One of which is played by HilaryDuff) start harassing them, and Abed quickly zings them back without breaking a sweat. [[spoiler: Rather than thank him and call it a day, Britta, Annie, and Shirley decide they can use this to their advantage and send Abed to insult every girl in school that has ever been mean to them. Eventually, Britta, Annie, and Shirley's egos completely swell and they become the ruling Girl Posse of {{Alpha Bitch}}es themselves.]]. Also, because it's Abed, there's a parody of {{Robocop}} in there. But Britta thinks he's saying "Rowboat Cop".

* Sierra leads one of these in ''TheReplacements''.

* Played with in ''PrettyLittleLiars'': the four main characters were the girl posse to Alison DiLaurentis, who is, of course, [[DeathByOriginStory dead]]. Now, the other four effectively remain this, but without a clear leader. Also, the four of them increasingly become social outcasts as the story progresses.

* The blackmail ring in ''Ciem: Vigilante Centipede'' (that wasn't in [[CiemWebcomicSeries the webcomic]]) is a Girl Posse ''in a college'', who lets the fact that Hebbleskin-influenced PoliceAreUseless enable them to a reign of terror over the residential buildings at Viron University. For some reason, the campus' diversity groups are also persuaded to turn a blind eye, even when the girls commit ''felonies''. Candi becomes a target of their wrath ''twice''. First, they send an imposter to appear in a porno to ruin her reputation. And when she doesn't "get the message" after that, they send Wayne the Vampire to rape her.

* Nicely subverted on ''FreaksAndGeeks''. Vicki Applebee is the show's resident AlphaBitch, but even most of the other popular girls at McKinley High (including Cindy Sanders) have a problem with her. And Cindy, probably one of the most popular girls at McKinley herself, is nice to everyone on the social totem pole .

* Before her fall from grace, Morita in ''RedString'' had a couple of lackies-- one with pigtails and one with short black hair. They followed her around and almost never said anything, but giggled and smirked at Morita's cruelty.

* Penny's [[ThemeNaming Sara, Michelle,]] [[strike:Katy-Ann]] Cyndi, and Brandi from ''PennyAndAggie''. Also Karen's Meg, Samantha, Charlotte, and Cyndi.
