LET'S TALK: Who Are Your Favorite "Good Girls" in Fiction? Plus: COVER GIRLS OVEREXPOSED ends in 6 HOURS!
GOOD GIRLS IN FICTION
The “femme fatale” archetype is well-cemented in pop culture. She’s often an antagonizing, cold, cunning and dangerous—but alluringly beautiful woman—who often times entices the male hero as much as endanger his life.
Examples of such characters are Catwoman, Black Cat, Black Widow, Aurra from Flash Gordon, Dejah Thoris, Red Sonja, Molotov Cocktease from Venture Brothers and Baroness from GI Joe.
A lesser-known archetype is the “good girl”; a girl-next-door type that is always presented as the sensible, logical alternative that the male hero SHOULD pursue, but, despite his better judgment, he typically follows the femme fatale into uncertain situations.
She’s kind, supportive, loving, tries to stays out of danger and her pursuits are those that are seen as socially-acceptable, unlike the femme fatale who often engages in various chicaneries and criminal activities.
Some examples of such good-girl characters are Betty from Archie, Velma from Scooby Doo, Mary Marvel and Dorothy Gale from Wizard of Oz.
Who are some of your favorite “good girls” in fiction? Let me know in the comments. I’m compiling a list and your choice might appear in a future SinR Studios publication!

Not quite sure this is what you are looking for, as basically everyone lusted after her, but Caitlin Fairchild of Gen 13 (1990s-early 2000s version). She was a mousey, nerdy girl who became absolutely gorgeous when her super-powers activated. But she is still in a lot of ways the same introverted, nerdy girl. While she does consciously understand that she is physically attractive now, she doesn't really completely understand just what a powerful effect that has on others. She will wear tight, revealing clothing, but in a lot of ways is still a very modest girl. And despite everyone lusting after her, she officially died a virgin at the end of the comic run (though who knows what happened those times she was knocked out and stripped, or mind controlled, by such-and-such villains behind-the-scenes?).
Also really like Sue Storm, who is the heart of the FF team, and just generally the most sensible one. Her FF uniform, while tight, covers her entire body. Plus she is the top MILF in all of comics.
Mary Jane?
A number of the Disney princesses? Ariel, Belle, and in particular - Jasmine. There are others.
Barbara Gordon, still the best Batgirl.
What do you think of this list, Shade?
