Gossip Girl is the anonymous, unseen narrator of the Gossip Girl television series and the novels of the same name. She is omniscient in every way and can be cruel in the way she reveals the secrets of Manhattan's elite, the Upper East Siders. In both the novels and the television adaption, Gossip Girl is a blogger whose true identity is never revealed, though it is ultimately revealed in the television series finale to be none other than "Lonely Boy" himself, Dan Humphrey. Despite the gossip site's shutdown in the finale, in the five year time jump, it is revealed that a new blogger has assumed the mantle of Gossip Girl.
