COURTNEY GRIPLING EXPOSED

Here is the object of both Ginger and Miranda plots against each other for the attention and friendship of Courtney Gripling.

 Courtney Claire Gripling (voiced by Liz Georges) is a major character on As Told by Ginger. She appears in the pilot episode The Party, and makes her offical deubt in the  first episode of the first season.

Courtney Gripling takes her role as "The Most Popular Girl at Lucky Junior High" very seriously. Her fascination with Ginger Foutley began 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 help or advice from someone other than her mindless followers. While her other friends Mipsy and Miranda 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 tight bond she shares with her best friends Macie and Dodie, since Courtney is aware that they would stick by her no matter what, while Miranda and company would only be there as long as Courtney's reign of popularity endures.

Courtney is often shown to be somewhat air-headed, though she can be more up on things than others and actually appear to be quite smart in some situations. She is very polite and well-spoken, though she can also be somewhat shallow and selfish as seen in "And She Was Gone" and "Family Therapy."

She loves being the center of attention, but often means well and has helped Ginger in some situations such as coming to get her and revealing Mipsy and Miranda's plan with the help of Dodie and Macie. She also told Ginger about Dodie and Macie's plan to split her and Darren up.

Courtney may have narcissistic personality disorder, as she does show some symptoms, mostly due to her being spoiled by her parents. Courtney is either very bad with names or intentionally forgets those that don't interest her, as she often forgets Dodie and Macie's names and she called them 'Podie and Stacy', and 'Doodie and Lacy'.

She is also seen to be quite dramatic. She can also be described as narcissistic as in "And She Was Gone," she pretends to be depressed to get attention.
