Girlfriend, alternatively referred to as The Girlfriend, is the deuteragonist of Friday Night Funkin. She is Boyfriend's partner and the daughter of Daddy Dearest and Mommy Mearest. She is usually seen sitting on top of speakers, bopping her head to the tempo of the music, cheering Boyfriend on and keeping track of combos. While not necessarily an antagonist, she is the first opponent faced by Boyfriend where she teaches the player how to play the game with her only track, Tutorial.
Physical Appearance[]
Girlfriend is a young, light-skinned woman with long, thick auburn hair. A short lock of hair sticks out from her head, and the shine on her hair resembles a skull. She wears a sleeveless red mini-dress and matching high heels. Her fingernails are painted red. She is normally on a set of three speakers, sitting on the large middle one with her legs crossed. She is drawn in a chibi style.
Personality[]
Girlfriend is portrayed as a young, mysterious woman. With a love for cherry soda and her boyfriend, Boyfriend, she seems to be calm and collected in almost any situation even in the face of death. Being a demon, she seemingly possesses a great deal of power, but she chooses to hide it. She is always seen with Boyfriend at her side, courtesy of true love as she genuinely loves him very much.
Like Boyfriend, Girlfriend has been confirmed to not be the sharpest tool in the shed, to the point where her faith in Boyfriend is practically blind faith. Her lack of intelligence can result in her getting into difficult situations, such as getting her hand stuck in peanut butter jugs and having to wait for hours for someone to help get it out. However, she is still capable of making smart decisions and knows what to do when dealing with taxes and facing death. Girlfriend has also been described as being mean "in her own special way."
Girlfriend also likes to do immoral things, appearing to not care about the consequences of her actions as long as she gets what she wants. Thanks to her mother's limousine, she can hold up McDonald's drive-through slots as she and Boyfriend hold the store hostage to get whatever food they want.
Relationships[]
Daddy Dearest[]
Daddy Dearest, the father of Girlfriend, likely has good intentions with his daughter, but he is highly overprotective of her. He will not let her date whom she wants and even tries to kill her boyfriend after he beats the father in a singing battle, which occurs after he stops the couple from having sex. He does not seem to care about how killing Boyfriend will affect his daughter.
Mommy Mearest[]
Mommy Mearest is Girlfriend's mother. Like with Daddy Dearest, she is presumably well-intentioned with Girlfriend, but she also won't let her and Boyfriend date and is very overprotective. Mommy Mearest seems to be just as willing to try to kill Boyfriend as her husband is, not caring about the consequences that murdering him will have on Girlfriend. However, she does hand down clothes and iPhones to her daughter, showing that she cares about giving Girlfriend nice things. Girlfriend is willing to steal from her mother, as she and Boyfriend engage in the theft of Mommy Mearest's limousine in order to hold up the entire drive-through slot at McDonald's.
Boyfriend[]
Boyfriend is Girlfriend's partner. The two love each other very much and are never apart. Boyfriend is determined to do whatever he can to stay with Girlfriend and protect her, including by singing off against her parents and others. Their closeness is shown when Boyfriend happily catches Girlfriend and receives a hug from her during the cutscene for Stress thanks to true love.
Pico[]
Not much is known about how well Pico and Girlfriend are acquainted with each other. It is possible that Pico does not like or care about Girlfriend very much, as he readily kicks her off her speakers in unused frames of the animation where Pico leaps in from the sky in the cutscene for Stress.

Trivia[]
- According to PhantomArcade in a Tweet, one of the core inspirations for Friday Night Funkin' is the 1981 anime adaptation of the manga Urusei Yatsura. Girlfriend is presumably based on the series' main character's girlfriend Lum Invader, who has a horny boyfriend named Ataru Moroboshi, whom Boyfriend is presumably based on in turn.
