{{quote|''"Last night was an A-1, tip top clubbing jam fair. It was a sandwich of fun on ecstasy bread, wrapped up in a big ball like disco fudge. It doesn't get much better than that, I just wish that sometimes I could control these FUCKING MOOD SWINGS! So what did youse two do last night?"''
|'''[[Motor Mouth|Tyres]]''', ''[[Spaced]]''}}
A character whose personality isn't marked by any set mood, but by their tendency to swing between moods drastically. Sometimes (if the characters around them are lucky) there's some sort of warning of an impending mood swing—or at least a recognizable cause—but there may just as easily be no warning whatsoever.
Line 50 ⟶ 51:
* Less than halfway through the first novel, it's easy to see where theories of [[Sherlock Holmes]] being bipolar come from.
* Vlad Tepes in ''[[Count and Countess]]'', usually to scary degrees.
== [[Music]] ==▼
* [[Relient K]]: Whoever the song "Mood Rings" was about: "First she's Jekyll and then she's Hyde... at least she makes a lovely pair", indeed.▼
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
Line 63 ⟶ 61:
* ''[[Sherlock]]'s'' Jim Moriarty has, to say the least, a habit of doing this.

▲* [[Relient K]]: Whoever the song "Mood Rings" was about: "First she's Jekyll and then she's Hyde... at least she makes a lovely pair", indeed.
== [[Theatre]] ==
* Lucy from ''[[13]]'' has this dialogue with her boyfriend:
{{quote|'''Lucy:''' ...And don't forget to change your facebook status to in a relationship. [[Clingy Jealous Girl|That way our profiles will be linked together like little love handcuffs]].
'''Brett:''' (To Cassie, who is walking by) Oh hi Cassie.
Line 94 ⟶ 95:
* Wigglytuff in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers]] has this reputation (along with [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]), though at first it seems like its an [[Informed Attribute]]. [[Failure Is the Only Option|After you fail to bring back a Perfect Apple however]], he ''literally'' almost blows up the guild. Besides that, the aftermath of his [[Curb Stomp Battle]] with Team Skull supports this.
* Anders of ''[[Dragon Age II]]'' is stated in the Codex to suffer from manic and depressive phases as of Act III, due to the [[Sanity Slippage]] caused by his [[Demonic Possession]]. His dialogue throughout the game tends to reflect this, ranging from calm and caring, to snarky, to obsessively focused on his goals, to self-righteously grandiose, to self-loathing and miserable, to downright psycho, with alarming speed.
* Enforced in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'' where the heroine can go from happy, to sad, to angry on a whim, seeing as each of her emotions triggers one of her [[Psychoactive Powers| "Vibes".]]
== [[Web Comics]] ==
Line 126 ⟶ 128:
* Blitzwing the Triple-Changer from ''[[Transformers Animated]]'', who switches rapidly between three personalities/moods: [[An Ice Person|Icy]] ([[The Stoic|stoick]] and calculating), [[Playing with Fire|Hothead]] (enraged and [[Hot-Blooded]]), and [[Giggling Villain|Random]] (who is... well, [[Cloudcuckoolander|Random]]).
* The titular ''[[Invader Zim]]''.
* This is played for laughs in one ''[[Woody Woodpecker]]'' cartoon; Woody is playing "indoor golf", and his drive lands in the downstairs apartment bathroom of his landlord, Wally, who is taking a bath. Wally's reaction:
{{quote|'''Wally''' ''(calm voice)'': Hmm... a golf ball. You know, I should really overlook this unfortunate incident... ''(flies into utter rage)'' '''BUT I'M NOT GOING TO!!'''}}
:* And then he wraps a towel around himself and goes to give Woody a piece of his mind.
