Girlfriend is the deuteragonist of Friday Night Funkin'. She serves as Boyfriend's partner and supporting character, as well as the daughter of Daddy Dearest and Mommy Mearest. Throughout the game, she cheers Boyfriend on as he takes on her parents and various other characters who stand in the way of the couple getting freaky.

== Appearance ==

Girlfriend is a 19-year-old young woman who stands at 5'0" (152 cm) and weighs 900 lbs (approximately 408 kg). She has fair skin, small, beady black eyes, and long, thick auburn hair. Two short tufts of hair protrude from the top of her head, one noticeably smaller than the other, while the shine in her hair forms a skull-like shape. She wears a sleeveless red minidress paired with matching high heels, and her fingernails are painted bright red.

She has the ability to transform into a futanari girl whenever she wishes, giving her complete control over when the transformation takes place. In this form, her penis measures 3.6 inches when flaccid and increases to 5.3 inches in length when fully erect.

== Personality ==

Girlfriend is portrayed as a mysterious, laid-back young woman who remains remarkably calm and collected in almost any situation, even when faced with death. She has a fondness for cherry soda and an intense love for her boyfriend, Boyfriend, whom she is almost always seen accompanying. As a demon, she possesses considerable power but rarely chooses to display it.

Like Boyfriend, Girlfriend is rather unintelligent and often displays a carefree, seemingly fearless attitude. She either fails to recognize when she's in danger or simply doesn't seem concerned about the consequences, possibly because of her supernatural abilities. Her absent-mindedness can lead to amusing predicaments, such as getting her hand stuck in a jar of peanut butter and waiting hours for someone to free her. Despite this, she is capable of making sensible decisions when necessary, particularly when dealing with taxes or confronting death.

Girlfriend has been diagnosed with ADHD and autism. She is rarely shown speaking to anyone other than Boyfriend and remains mostly silent and seemingly indifferent toward her opponents during Weeks 6 and 7. She also occasionally struggles with object permanence and has a poor sense of time. On the other hand, she is a creative individual with a talent for drawing and painting. Her financial judgment, however, is questionable: she tends to overcharge for her artistic commissions, sometimes asking for as much as a trillion dollars, yet can just as easily underpay for something as simple as a hamburger.

Girlfriend has been described as mean "in her own special way." She can also be mischievous and morally questionable, often disregarding rules and consequences when pursuing what she wants. For example, she and Boyfriend once used her mother's limousine to hold a McDonald's drive-through hostage, demanding whatever food they pleased.

== Abilities ==

Girlfriend possesses several powerful abilities, although the full extent of her powers remains largely unknown. During the cutscene for Stress, her eyes are shown glowing red and her skin taking on a light purple hue, seemingly serving as a visual indication that she is using or preparing to use her demonic abilities. She has also been confirmed to possess demon magic, which includes some degree of shapeshifting, as demonstrated by her ability to give herself male genitalia. In Special Collab 1, she displays another unusual ability: the power to instantly learn any language and transfer that knowledge to others with a single touch.

Her powers also appear to grant her a considerable degree of invulnerability. She can protect both herself and others from virtually any form of physical harm, making her exceptionally difficult to injure. Notably, she has reportedly emerged completely unharmed from incidents such as being struck by a truck and falling out of an airplane. Even her parents were aware that such accidents posed no real threat to her.

Girlfriend can also suppress or conceal her demonic presence, preventing those around her from sensing the true extent of her power. This is demonstrated in Week 2, where Pump appears unable to detect her abilities. Furthermore, an official Girlfriend T-shirt design depicts a pair of bat wings in her shadow, alongside a heart-shaped tail incorporated into the lettering of her name. Both are characteristic features of succubi, and the design was confirmed to hint at one of her future abilities.

== Relationships ==

• Daddy Dearest: Girlfriend's father, Daddy Dearest, seemingly has good intentions toward his daughter, but his overprotective nature often manifests in controlling and extreme behavior. He refuses to let her freely pursue a relationship with Boyfriend and even attempts to kill him after losing a singing battle against him, following an earlier attempt to prevent the couple from having sex. Despite his actions supposedly being motivated by his desire to protect Girlfriend, he shows little apparent concern for how Boyfriend's death would affect her.
• Mommy Mearest: Girlfriend's mother, Mommy Mearest, shares many of her husband's attitudes toward her daughter's relationship. Although presumably well-intentioned, she is similarly overprotective and disapproves of Girlfriend dating Boyfriend. She also demonstrates a willingness to kill him, seemingly disregarding the emotional consequences this would have for her daughter. Nevertheless, she does show affection through more material gestures, such as giving Girlfriend clothes and iPhones. Their relationship is not entirely free of mischief, however, as Girlfriend and Boyfriend once steal Mommy Mearest's limousine to occupy an entire McDonald's drive-through lane.
• Boyfriend: Boyfriend is Girlfriend's romantic partner, and the two share a deeply affectionate relationship. They are rarely seen apart and consistently demonstrate their love and commitment to one another. Boyfriend is willing to put himself in dangerous situations to remain by Girlfriend's side and protect her, frequently challenging those who threaten their relationship to singing battles. Their bond is particularly evident in the cutscene for Stress, where Boyfriend catches Girlfriend as she falls into his arms, and she happily embraces him, illustrating the strength of their mutual affection.
• Pico: Girlfriend's personal feelings toward Pico remain unknown. However, Pico clearly harbors resentment toward her, viewing her as the person who supposedly stole his former partner, Boyfriend. Whether Girlfriend reciprocates this hostility is uncertain, as little information is provided about her perspective on their relationship.
• Henchmen: The Henchmen appear to have a relatively accommodating relationship with Girlfriend. In artwork featured in the art booklet accompanying Friday Night Funkin' - The Official Soundtrack Vol. 1, they are depicted purchasing alcoholic beverages and snacks for her, suggesting that they occasionally attend to her wants and needs.
• Skid and Pump: Skid and Pump are initially deceived by Monster into believing that Girlfriend is made of candy. He convinces the two children to retrieve her so that he can eat her, prompting them to challenge Boyfriend to a rap battle. However, the two are primarily interested in having fun and do not seem particularly invested in carrying out Monster's instructions. Girlfriend, meanwhile, appears entirely unconcerned by the situation and happily watches the children rap against Boyfriend. Monster: Monster views Girlfriend as food and repeatedly expresses his desire to eat her, even describing his gruesome intentions in considerable detail through his songs. Despite his persistent threats, Girlfriend shows little to no fear of him and appears largely unfazed by his presence.
• Senpai: Girlfriend seemingly has a history with Senpai through her dating simulator game, in which he serves as a potential romantic interest. After she is transported into the game, Senpai immediately becomes infatuated with her, regarding her as a new fair maiden who has arrived in search of true love. Given that the dating simulator belongs to Girlfriend, this encounter may explain his unusual interest in her. Senpai challenges Boyfriend to a singing battle to determine who gets to be with her. Following his defeat, he becomes increasingly hostile but remains determined to win Girlfriend over, even threatening to castrate Boyfriend after discovering that the couple intends to get intimate.
• Spirit: Spirit first encountered Girlfriend at her sixth birthday party, where he immediately developed romantic feelings for her. He picked a daisy from the ground with the intention of giving it to her, but before he could do so, Daddy Dearest intervened and imprisoned the young boy inside the dating simulator. Spirit remained trapped within the game, eventually inhabiting Senpai's body for thirteen years. Upon being released from his confinement, he recognizes Girlfriend but is far from pleased to see her, associating her with the circumstances that led to his imprisonment. Driven by his distorted sense of justice and desire for revenge against Daddy Dearest, Spirit considers it only fair to take possession of both Girlfriend's and Boyfriend's bodies as a means of escaping the game. His plan ultimately fails, however, as the couple defeats him and leaves him trapped inside the game.
• Tankman: Girlfriend and Boyfriend encounter Tankman on the Tankman Battlefield, where Tankman orders his soldiers to hold Girlfriend at gunpoint. However, he and his men are initially too bored to carry out their threats immediately. Throughout their encounter, Tankman is openly disrespectful toward Girlfriend, making insulting remarks about her appearance and directing vulgar comments at both her and Boyfriend. After losing two singing battles, he eventually orders his soldiers to kill the couple. Rather than showing fear, Girlfriend responds by happily revealing her demonic powers, demonstrating that she is more than capable of defending herself and is entirely unafraid of confronting the Tankmen.

== Trivia ==

• According to ninjamuffin99, the character's official name is simply Girlfriend. Before this was clarified, fans frequently speculated about her actual name, much like they did with Boyfriend. Several alternative names have appeared in online discussions and tweets, including Bertney, suggested by Kawai Sprite during a Twitter conversation with Newgrounds animator Luis; Keith, mentioned by ninjamuffin99 and also used as one of Boyfriend's randomly generated names; Cherry, a fan-given name inspired by her apparent fondness for Cherry Dr. Pepper; and Lucy, another fan suggestion derived from Lucifer and her demonic nature.
• Girlfriend is afraid of thunder and lightning. During an animation in Week 2, she and Boyfriend can briefly be seen reacting fearfully whenever thunder and lightning occur.
• Girlfriend's initial character design was inspired by the girl from Rhythm Heaven.
• PhantomArcade has mentioned that Girlfriend may have been unconsciously influenced by the girl from the Daicon IV Opening Animation. Having been a longtime fan of the anime, he believes the resemblance may have developed without him realizing it. Both characters share auburn hair, red clothing, and exceptionally powerful abilities.
• In December 2020, ninjamuffin99 identified Girlfriend as his favorite Friday Night Funkin' character, explaining that he found her cute. By August 2022, however, he had changed his preference to Senpai. He has also expressed fondness for Girlfriend because of her notably low intelligence, which is an intentional part of her characterization.
