  1. Like her name implies, the Hello Kitty Girl is obsessed with Hello Kitty and the entire Sanrio universe. She has endless Hello Kitty clothes, stationary, and beauty products, and her room is probably covered in themed plushies, posters, and decor. Chances are, if you think of any item, she has the Hello Kitty version of it!
  2. Staying true to Sanrio core, the Hello Kitty Girl loves mixing black clothes with different shades of pink. Her wardrobe is filled with Lolita-inspired outfits, platform shoes (mary janes and creepers), knee high socks, bows, animal ear headbands, mini backpacks, and anything else that screams kawaii.
  3. Hello Kitty Girls have a reputation for being hot—and they definitely know it! They love to rock bold and unique outfits in public, even though their style is slightly unconventional, and lots of men find them incredibly cute and attractive.
  4. Many Hello Kitty Girls are perfectly fine with having a “friends with benefits” situation because they’re emotionally detached. They prioritize having a great sexual connection with their partner, and as long as their partner is on the same page, it is a fairly fun and straightforward relationship.
  5. The Hello Kitty Girl is often described as having a mental disorder, such as depression or borderline personality disorder (BPD), or having attachment issues to men (called “daddy issues”). Many guys think this stems from an unstable family background, but it totally varies from person to person.
    • “Daddy issues” include: fear of abandonment or commitment, constantly needing reassurance, being overly needy for attention and validation, and poor communication in relationships.
  6. According to TikTok, some Hello Kitty Girls can become violent toward their romantic partner because they’re so emotionally unstable. They tend to fall in love fast and hard, developing an unhealthy codependency on their partner, and this can lead to a toxic cycle of physical or emotional abuse.
    • If your partner constantly criticizes or humiliates you, issues ultimatums, or tries to control, blame, or shame you, protect yourself and end the relationship. These are signs of emotional abuse , and they’re not justifiable under any conditions.
    • Call the National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233) or use their online chat box for support. They’re open 24/7 and can help you make an escape plan . [2]
