Cady Heron is a sixteen year old girl who has been home-schooled for most of her life. She is not accustomed to Evanston's ways or choice of clothing but as the film progresses, she tends to dress more "girly" when she hangs out with The Plastics.

She is a very smart girl, usually making A's until she dumbs herself down to get a boy to notice her. Also, her favourite subject is math. At the end of the film, she realizes the importance of friendship, the dangers of high school and cliques, and truly becomes her own person. She is portrayed by Lindsay Lohan.

StyleEdit

At the beginning, she is into very casual clothing; plaid shirts, simple tee shirts, straight jeans, lots of makeup (that was only to hide how tired-looking Lindsay Lohan was, though) in a natural style, like rosy blush, clear gloss, a bit of brown eyeliner, brown mascara to make her look fresh and awake. She didn't style her hair, just kept it in its natural straight texture or up in a simple ponytail.

After she joins the Plastics, she is into dressing more girly, with lots of pink, lots of skirts, pale colors, hoop earrings (despite that hoops are Regina's "thing"), then as she becomes the Queen Bee, more promisciously (too much makeup, big hair, a short minidress with the bra straps showing, tights, and heels at a party). loosely-curled hair with slightly blonde highlights, and more glam makeup: pink gloss, lots of black eyeliner, black mascara to make her eyes look more sultry.

Early lifeEdit

Cady Heron was born to Betsy and Chip Heron. It is assumed that she was born in the summer of 1987 since she is sixteen years old in her sophmore year and doesn't have a birthday during the school year.

Life in AfricaEdit

Cady's parents, Betsy and Chip, are both research zoologists who were transferred to live in Africa in 1992, before Cady could begin school. Cady would observe animals during the day in the fields with her parents and Betsy would be her teacher during the night. Cady's first crush was an African boy named Nfume, who didn't return her feelings.

Cady would tape record her voice when studying in Africa, according to the original draft of Mean Girls. While her mother would teach her, Cady would feed monkeys with a bottle. She would also study the animals at the water hole. When Cady was sixteen, her mother's job required her to transfer to Evanston, Illinois.

Moving to EvanstonEdit

When Cady and her parents moved to Evanston, Illinois, her parents wanted her to get "socialized" so they enrolled her as a junior in North Shore High School for the 2003-2004 school year. When living in Evanston, Cady adopted two cats, Pamela and Cleo, and also has a dog. Cady doesn't seem to notice her good looks and she usually wears jeans and a brown jacket on her first day at school.

First Day at North ShoreEdit

Cady begins her first day in real school, nervous and this doesn't go well. She accidently thinks a bigger student, Kristen Hadley, is the teacher and accidently makes her home room teacher, Mrs. Norbury, spill her coffee on her own shirt. Cady gets in trouble for going to use the lavatory, eating in class, and other customs that she is not used to. Most of the adults in Africa trusted her. Not knowing where to sit in the cafeteria, Cady eats her lunch in a stall in the girl's bathroom. She thinks of her first day at school as a "blur".

Second Day at North ShoreEdit

Cady's second day at North Shore goes a bit smoother than her first day at school. In her home room, Cady makes friends with Janis Ian, a semi-Goth girl with anger issues, and Damien, the over-weight gay best friend of Janis. She skips her first class of Health with Coach Carr and sits in the field outside of the school, not wanting to mess up her friendship with Janis and Damien. There, Damien and Janis discuss The Plastics, a group of the three most popular girls in school. In the group is Regina George, the queen bee, and her minions, the gossip girl Gretchen Weiners and the dimwitted Karen Smith. Janis draws a map of the cafeteria, telling Cady to beware of the Plastics.

Cady is invited to have lunch with the Plastics that day after Regina tells Jason to stop being immature and to leave Cady alone, after asking if her "muffin" was "buttered". Regina realizes Cady's beauty and asks her to join the Plastics. Once Cady tells Janis about this, Janis laughs and tells Cady that she has to join so they can laugh about all the dumb things Regina says. Cady, thinking that Regina is a sweet person, asks why Janis hates her. Janis doesn't reply but Damien gives his pink shirt to Cady since the Plastics wear pink on Wednesday. Also that day in her Math class, Cady sits behind Aaron Samuels, a cute senior who plays soccer. Cady instantly has a crush on him.
