- “Fireside girls are always prepared.”
- — Fireside Girl Motto
Fireside Girls is the friend ship between Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, Adyson Sweetwater, Ginger Hirano, Gretchen, Holly, Milly, and Katie from the Phineas and Ferb fandom.
Canon[]
Overview[]
The Fireside Girls are a vibrant and spirited troop of young girls, who work together to embrace fun, friendship, and girl power. Although there are countless troops of the overall Fireside Girl organization, worldwide, the particular troop that gets focused on in the show is Troop 46231, led by Isabella Garcia-Shapiro. The six colleagues of The Fireside Girls, Adyson, Ginger, Gretchen, Holly, Milly, and Katie, all listen to and follow into their various tasks and activities. Said activities lead to them earning patches, which they earn through teamwork, determination, and cheerful optimism. Whether their tasks being mental, physical, or social, the girls jump right into whatever it is they're assigned to do and they do it well. Their activities span everything from engineering to coding to music to animal care and just about anything that has a patch as a reward. However, their primary activity is going door-to-door, selling cupcakes. Despite their young age, the girls have exhibited incredible remarkable skill and maturity in their endeavors, while still maintaining a childlike and whimsical sense of wonder.
All of them function perfectly as a unit, obeying every whim of Isabella without question. Whenever they put something to a vote, they almost always vote unanimously. They tend to say things in unison, which comes in handy, whenever they're participating in another one of their spontaneous musical numbers. This flawless harmony leads to each of the girls sort of sharing the same personality, as they tend to share the same brain and support their leader without jealousy or rivalry. Aside from Isabella and Ginger, none of the Fireside Girls are ever seen without each other by their sides, meaning that they've essentially dedicated most of their free time to the Fireside way.
Fanon[]
The Fireside Girls are well-received characters in the fandom and many characters enjoy how they all get along with each other. Fans wish they could have seen more of the other Fireside Girls outside of just Ginger and Isabella, so that every one of them could kind of have their time to shine. Many people admire the episodes focusing on them and have even wondered what a spin-off series about them could look like.
The fact that most of the Fireside Girls are all kind of bland and lacking in individuality may be unfulfilling for some but others see them as being blank slates that can be given whatever personalities or relationships with the other characters they want in their fanfictions. This opens the doors to several possibilities as to what The Fireside Girls can be like in their stories, allowing fanfic writers to shape them into whatever molds they see fit.
The intra-troop relationships between the girls greatly vary based on who the writers of said fanfictions are, particularly because no clear distinguishing relationships have been established in the canon series beyond them all just being "great friends". However, there exists numerous romantic ships between various individual girls, such as Gingabella, Adybella, and Katyson just to name a few.
The tag for all seven of their names being listed individually only garners 3 stories on AO3. However, the much simpler colloquial tag of just "Fireside Girls" has amassed exactly 100 stories. Additionally, the tag "Fireside Girls & Isabella Garcia-Shapiro" has 16 stories on AO3.
