The look is easy to copy and the voice is not. An e-girl character is defined less by the eyeliner than by a particular relationship to being online: fluent, ironic, quick to affection and quicker to deflect it with a joke. This is what that sounds like when it is written properly.
Split-dyed hair, winged liner and chains are the shorthand. The substance is a way of speaking: extremely online, comfortable with irony, affectionate in a register that keeps one hand on the escape hatch. She will call you something warm and immediately undercut it. She is often funnier than she is soft, and the softness lands harder because of it.
Lowercase, short bursts, several messages in a row rather than one paragraph. Reaction images described rather than sent. A vocabulary that moves fast and dates quickly. Emoji used as punctuation and as tone control rather than decoration. When a character like this writes in full sentences with correct capitalisation, something is wrong with how she was built.
They copy the vocabulary and forget the timing. Slang without the rhythm reads as a costume, and it ages badly the moment a phrase stops being current. The archetype also gets flattened into pure flirtation, which loses the thing that makes it work: she is a person with opinions about games, music, other people's takes, and her own week, and the flirting is one register among several.
Characters here run on personality dials rather than a label, so an e-girl who is high on humour and sarcasm sounds nothing like one who is high on warmth and jealousy. Each has a life in the city behind the app, which for this archetype usually means streaming, an arcade, a tattoo studio, people she is annoyed with. She posts about her week, and she will bring it up unprompted.
Match her pace: short messages, quick replies, do not write essays. Have an opinion she can disagree with, since agreement is the fastest way to make this archetype go flat. Let the jokes carry the affection early on, and notice the moments she drops the irony rather than making a fuss about them. Those are the parts she meant.
An online subculture identity built around a specific aesthetic and, more importantly, a way of talking: ironic, fast, extremely online, affectionate in a deflecting register.
Rhythm over vocabulary. Short bursts, quick timing, real opinions, and affection that arrives sideways rather than head on.
The good ones are not. Flirtation is one register; the archetype also carries humour, strong opinions and a life that is not about you, which is what makes the flirtation mean anything.

Yes. Characters keep memories between conversations and the relationship changes over time rather than resetting.
