Mostly making this thread for my own benefit, so I don't end up creating someone everyone's already seen a million times.
I'll start with something utterly basic:

THE ICE BITCH
This chick is cold, cruel, and probably has a suite of daddy issues. She's more than likely short, always described as having ~porcelain skin~, and has a lean towards sadism. Maybe their writer enjoys calling eyes ( insert color here ) orbs.
 
THE CHOSEN ONE

Typically a school age girl with little to no friends. She is preferably beautiful, but sometimes authors will settle for just pretty. The Chosen One will never be aware of this. This lady will have some innate, ridiculous power unique to her that will serve as a deus ex machina later on in the story. An obligatory love triangle between two other men that has absolutely nothing to do with the plot is required.

If you recognize this trope, it means you've read a YA book before.

Not gonna lie, everytime I thought of a trope I realized I had a character that was a diet version of that trope. Otherwise, I'd give you a few.
 
The extremely shy/antisocial girl, but it has more to do with those being written very passively most of the time, leaving the other writer to do the legwork.

They're sometimes fun to fuck with if your own character is provocative enough for that to be in-character.
