7. Paris Geller, Gilmore Girls
Paris Geller was far from your conventional mean girl on TV. Rather than aiming for popularity and good looks, Paris is instead obsessed with being the best in academics. She’s known for her competitive and paranoid nature, and her aggressive traits make her an alpha who’s always trying to get ahead of Rory. While the two could have been besties over their love for knowledge, Paris instead tries to make Rory’s life a living hell at Chilton, threatening and intimidating her. Eventually, they become friends, but that doesn’t stop Geller from being brutally honest.
