'Cherilyn Andi "Cher" Horowitz (born on April 12, 1979) is a sweet, sometimes airhead-like blonde teenager who lives with her rich lawyer father in Beverly Hills, California. Cher often speaks in Valley Girl slang (including new idioms coined by the writers of Clueless). Cher is the central protagonist of the Clueless franchise; many of the plot lines involve Cher in some way, although sub-plots, particularly in the TV series and the film, which allow the focus to shift from her toward others and back.
Biography[]
Cher is a sweet, if somewhat dippy, blonde teenager who lives with her father in Beverly Hills, California. Cher often speaks in Valley Girl slang (including new idioms coined by the writers of Clueless). Her role in the film and series is that of the central protagonist; many of the plot lines revolve around, or involve, Cher in some way, although sub-plots, particularly in the TV series, allow the focus to shift from her toward others and back.
Cher is popular with her classmates; she often uses her social status and skill to aid others. Yet these crusades are not always as successful as she would wish. Much of the film's plot centers around Cher's gradual realization that her judgment is not infallible—such as with her attempts to give Tai a makeover—and that Cher may benefit more from attempting to improve herself. However, some of Cher's attempts at righting the world's minor wrongs indeed produce the results she anticipates, such as her matchmaking attempt between two of her teachers.
As the daughter of a lawyer, Cher has developed extensive conversational skills. She can frequently talk teachers into improving her grades, and she excels in Mr. Hall's debate class. However, Cher's efforts to talk her way out of trouble are not always successful, such as when she fails her driver's test due to her sub-par driving skills. Josh is often the first to point out when Cher "finds a situation she can't talk her way out of."
Cher's knowledge is not without flaws, particularly in relation to certain elements of history and culture. For instance, in a voiceover, she calls the film Spartacus "Sporadicus." Then, in her debate class, she repeatedly pronounces the word "Haitians" as "Hatey-yuns."
Personality[]
A sweet girl living in a Beverly Hills mansion, waited on by servants, and flaunting her wealth with fashion, she's the undisputed queen of Beverly Hills High School. She was born under the zodiac sign of Aries meaning Cher is also tough and clever, just like her father Mel. Cher convinces two of her teachers that each is a secret admirer of the other, negotiating her way from a C+ average to an A- average. Cher doesn’t have a regular boyfriend and she describes finding a boyfriend in high school as "being as pointless as looking for meaning in a Pauly Shore movie." In an example of movie-production continuity failure, her surname is "Hamilton" on her report card, as is her father's when he tosses aside a piece of mail...
