Perky Goth: Difference between revisions

Line 189:
* {{spoiler|Death}} in the webcomic ''[[Finder's Keepers]]'' seems to be this.
* Subversion: On the outside, Alisin in ''[[Fans]]!'' is cheerful, fun-loving, and free-spirited, and it's only when you look closely that it's revealed that [[Stepford Smiler|underneath the perky exterior]] she's a neurotic, self-loathing and nihilistic mess.
** In more recent arcs, Aly ([[That Man Is Dead|she's no longer Alisin]]) was able to shed her self-loathing, due in large part to the unconditional love of her husband Rikk, and later Rumy when she joined them in a [[Tenchi Solution|triad marriage]], plus finding fulfillment in her job as a nurse in a juvenile cancer ward. She also grew her hair out and dropped most of her goth fashions. In one recent arc, she was held hostage by [[Complete Monster|Keith Feddyg]], who told the young patients about her past life, and then killed one [[Littlest Cancer Patient|eight-year-old who defended her]]. Aly, bolstered by Rikk and Rumy, was able to say the one thing Keith couldn't bear to hear;: "I forgive you."
* Happy Goth from ''[[The Devil's Panties]]''.
* [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=406 Vanity Thorn] from the webcomic ''[[Sequential Art (webcomic)|Sequential Art]]''.
Line 211:
** Chapter 49 has even more goth-y [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1384 Jenny], Jack's new girfriend. While not a [[Cuddle Bug]], she began addressing Annie "my love" on seeing her the second time, and generally is upbeat to the point that upon sudden transportation into Zimmy's warped world, instead of being scared (like ''everyone'' else we have seen), she immediately appreciated the beauty of some elements. Jenny evidently practices [[Ritual Magic|formal magic]] with diagrams and spells, unlike more free-form power use of magical creatures, but claims that she's not a witch, "just an apprentice". She has an extra bit of mystery attached, as Zimmy's supposedly [[Identical Stranger]].
* Gilly from ''[[Dork Tower]]'', as mentioned in the Comics section.
* Layla and Nina from ''[[Eerie Cuties]]''; anotherare exampletwo more examples of teenage vampires who fit the trope by association, although most of Layla's "perky" moments occur by accident.
