9. Regina George - Mean Girls
How do I begin to explain Regina George? You don't mess with Regina George; Regina George messes with you, and you'd best thank her for the attention. Regina is the quintessential popular girl with the perfect hair, posse, and boyfriend, the girl who everyone is afraid of and simultaneously awed by because of seeming untouchably perfect. If youre in her Burn Book, meaning youve messed with her in some way whether you actually did anything or not to get on her mind and her bad side, definitely start fearing for the safety of your reputation. Regina and the Plastics cultivate fear to generate respect. Though she and her groupies eventually take a tumble from their high school power, Regina had the power to make or break Lindsay Lohans character throughout the entire movie and shaped her to the very end. Even when Lohans character schemed against Regina, Regina was nonetheless shaping the relationship of Lohans character with her nerdier friends; when Lohan won the infamous prom queen crown, it was her experience enduring the Plastics that led her there. Regina is an inescapable influence. Love her or hate her, youd better not mess with her, but youre sure to cross her path regardless.
