Courtney Gripling

Courtney Gripling (a character on Nickelodeon animated series As Told By Ginger, voiced by Liz Georges) takes her role as "The Most Popular Girl at Lucky Junior High" very seriously. She is obscenely rich and arrogant, but she isn't actually the typical evil girl who hates the main character (Ginger, in this case). She could be self-absorbed and vain, but she's not wicked. Deep inside, Courtney's a very good girl, but she has to maintain her position, so she has been looked as a total snob when she really isn't. You can see that in the first episodes, she's quite prouder and more big-headed than in the later ones, because she unconsciously begins to show her real personality and to demonstrate less egoism and more compassion and humanity. Besides, she doesn?t feel anymore worried about proving who she is, like she was at first. Courtney completely disappeared during the high school episodes.

Courtney has taken a shine on Ginger Foutley. Her fascination with her started as an experiment to see how the other half lives and eventually blossomed into a real friendship. Courtney looks to Ginger as someone she can turn to when she needs advice from someone other than her mindless followers. While her other friends, Miranda Killgallen (Cree Summer) and Melissa "Mipsy" Mipson (Sandy Fox) virtually worship the ground that Courtney walks on, Ginger seems to do just fine living independently from Courtney's shadow. In fact, Courtney is secretly envious of Ginger's backbone and the tight bond that she shares with her best friends Dodie Bishop (Aspen Miller) and Macie Lightfoot (Jackie Harris), since Courtney is aware that they would stick by her no matter what, whilst Miranda and company would only be there as long as Courtney's reign of popularity endures.

Apart from that, Courtney has slightly a crush on Darren Patterson's popular older brother Will (Wilburt), although she did like Senator Ricci's son Michael. Though, a thoery of some people, not to be taken seriously, is that she is, in fact, a lesbian and is in love of her redhead classmate Ginger Foutley.
