Perky Goth | comment |
The stereotypical Goth character, especially in teen television shows, is frequently a Snark Knight or a Deadpan Snarker, someone whose dark clothes and grooming reflect a pessimistic mentality. Contrariwise, the Perky Goth, who is almost always female, operates on the principle that dark does not always mean depressing. Sometimes, a singular Goth takes on both personalities. She wears the clothes, but her personality is always cheerful and amiable (occasionally approaching Genki Girl territory). Appropriately, this is a Sister Trope to Elegant Gothic Lolita (referring to an actual subculture mainly popular in Japan). If she's supposed to be attractive, she has a strong chance of being Raven Hair, Ivory Skin. While the trope is sufficient to cover both, a character who is to Emo as this trope is to Goth would essentially be a "scene kid" or "cupcake emo", which are notable for their pink/black stripes. This is technically a different subculture than emo, but they're closely related and scene can be summarized as "Perky Emo with a little bit of rave culture". And to emphasize: perky goth is an acknowledged part of the goth subculture, not just something made up by media. See also Manic Pixie Dream Girl. Contrast Goths Have It Hard. |

Gilly Woods the Perky Goth of Dork Tower is the trope namer. Along with all of the typical goth mannerisms, she smiles all the time, collects plush animals, enjoys cookies and ice cream, and is perpetually optimistic. She embarrasses her brother Walden, who is a stereotypical Mopey Goth and Dark Lord of the Mud Bay Goth community.note while the Goths in town were all meeting at an all-night pancake house, and the Dark Lord was going on like a cult leader, she actually ordered some pancakes. Agenda item 1: spread fear and darkness and general chaos. Then all back to Gilly's house for cookies and ice cream! Over the years, she's traveled to London to study pre-med in England, came out as bisexual, and has become romantically linked to her roommate — all while still remaining perky and goth-y. | |

Megamind is a Card-Carrying Villain whose aesthetic is all dark muted colors, spikes on everything that his inventive genius touches and heavy metal, but he is also friendly, chipper and (outwardly) full of joie-de-vivre, especially when dancing down the city streets to the aforementioned heavy metal. | |

Burke's Law: Downplayed with Leona Barnett in "Who Killed the Movie Mogul." She's a dark-clad woman who owns a horror movie memorabilia shop and is obsessed with the dark side of life. However, she shows a more friendly and cheerful side during the few moments where she isn't interacting with her emotionally distant father or being accused of his murder by the police (both of which provide some justification for an unhappy attitude). | |

Esther from Scary Go Round. Her friend Sarah has also become much perkier throughout the comic. SGR actually plays with Goth stereotypes quite a bit overall — Sarah goes a bit Tsundere for and winds up dating the much older Ryan, while Esther and Sarah's friend Big Lindsay is less goth and more of a Class 3 The Big Guy (who is eventually Put on a Bus by getting pregnant). And then there's the odd case of Roxy Postlethwaite, who is supernaturally Changed into a "White Goth" — part banshee, Cloud Cuckoo Lander, all Nightmare Fuel. |

Inside Job (2021): During her investigation of Brett, Reagan discovers that he was both a goth and a jock at the same time in high school, which she uses as proof that his backstory is insane and possibly fabricated. Turns out it's simply a result of him being completely desperate for approval and willing to change everything about himself to get it. | |

Friday the 13th: Friday the 13th: Carnival of Maniacs has an odd example. Pamela Voorhees possesses a teenage goth named Gloria Sowici (nicknamed Glo), so we end up with a woman with a Sickeningly Sweet attitude inhabiting the body of a girl described as pretty dour and unpleasant to look at. Suffice to say, characters, such as the guy who picks up the hitchhiking Pam-Glo, remark on the contrast. Bella Morte (real surname Morrison) from Jason X: Planet of the Beast is a Perky Goth IN SPACE!. |

In The Return, conversion into a succubus seems to be synonymous with becoming a Perky Goth. See especially Yuki/Nabiki the "cute" succubus. Those Two Guys Sam and Naoko choose to dress as perky goth too. | |

Giana Sisters: In Giana Sisters DS and Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, Punk Giana is a cheerful kid, despite her ferocious appearance and gothic-style clothes. Cute Giana is perky as well, as the Kickstarter Web site describes her as liking things spooky (even gaining more powers as the dream she's in gets more morbid.) | |

The Dragaera series has two examples: Telnan, introduced in Dzur, thinks like most Dzur warriors (as Vlad sarcastically notes) that black-on-black is a wonderful color combination, but acts like The Ditz. Sethra Lavode might be a better example, dressing all in black and having an unsettling pallor (she is an eons old undead), but being surprisingly friendly. She also has a disturbingly silly sense of humor. In one book, she passes sentence on one of her apprentices for attempting to kill several of her friends, influence the succession of the House of the Dragon, and start a war. The sentence is to strand her in an alternate, desert dimension with shelter, plenty of food and water and a stick, and instruct her to write "I will not interfere with the Dragon Council" in the sand 83,521 times. Wherein hangs the tale: Sethra IS eons old. Having seen so much, there's really only two ways to go, and the other way would either have destroyed her or the world, one way or the other. If there's anyone entitled to live and advocate the sentiment of "Live Here Now", it is certainly Sethra Lavode! |

RWBY has Ruby Rose, whose character design◊ is best described as "goth meets Little Red Fighting Hood", even fighting with a giant scythe. The initial "Red" trailer had fans presuming that she would have a more muted personality, but as more material about the series came out, it became clear that she was more upbeat. She has statues of creatures of Grimm in her room and is both fascinated by the monsters and utterly determined to annhilate them all. | |

She is also chirpy, happy and carefree most of the time. However, she claims that "Goths are posers!", so she presumably wouldn't use the phrase herself. She differs from most of the examples on this page by being a reindeer. | |

Marnie from Pokémon Sword and Shield is a downplayed version. Her fashion style has elements of this, as she wears a pink dress with pink ribbons in her hair, accented by a studded black (fake) leather jacket, a spiked necklace, and black nail polish. In terms of personality, while she's good-natured and her dialogue doesn't hide when she's happy, she's generally very stoic like a stereotypical Goth would be. | |

Wizards of Waverly Place: Miranda is never seen not smiling, yet is constantly referred to as "scary" and says such gems as "I hate corporate America!". The perky part is probably to keep her safe and acceptable. Aria Montgomery, also played by Lucy Hale, appears to have been there before the series. In the later episodes, Alex actually qualifies except for having a fashion plate taste in wardrobe. |

A straightforwardly villainous example is Sonya in The Babysitter (2017). Her clothes are all black and white, and of the cultists, she indulges in the creepiest behavior of all of them. She's not at all gloomy, though, and is having as much of a blast killing people as the rest of the cult, while also being very sharply dressed in her black-and-white clothes. | |

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 underneath the perky exterior she's a neurotic, self-loathing and nihilistic mess. In later arcs, Aly (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 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 Keith Feddyg, who told the young patients about her past life, and then killed one 8-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." |

In Moonflowers, Persephone is very much this. Apart from being blonde, she's the queen of the dead who dresses in a muted color scheme (blues and grays, with black jewelry), but is quite sociable and friendly. | |

As The Owl House has progressed, Amity has gradually made her way towards becoming this. By the time of "Enchanting Grom Fright", while she is certainly still prickly and abrasive, she has become significantly less volatile towards other people, especially her newfound crush Luz. By the time of "Eclipse Lake", recent events including Amity finally defying her mother's will as well as her and Luz becoming girlfriends have made Amity significantly happier and more positive, with her frequently smiling and being far friendlier to everyone. It gets to a point where by the time of "Thanks to Them" Amity is the more joyful, optimistic, and positive partner in her romance with Luz, due to Luz's own spirits and optimism being ground into dust by all of the horrible things she has faced and experienced. | |

Downplayed in OSMU: Fanfiction Friction with Oswald. At the end of Chapter 5, he appears in front of Opal, Omar and Orla wearing dark clothing, including a shirt with a blazing skull on it and black leather wristbands, but it's just to go see the bands Alien Open Autopsy and Coprolite, and isn't what he wears as everyday attire. | |

Sigrun from Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening is a member of the Legion of the Dead, dwarves who have symbolically died and consider themselves dead to the world. Their normal mindset is quite gloomy, but Sigrun manages to subvert the expectations despite her dark, tattooed exterior. This is even lampshaded by Nathaniel who thinks she ought to be a bit more grim to suit the image. | |

Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition has the Shadar-kai, who were changed from their original selves (gloomy-goth fae trapped in the Plane of Shadow who hate everyone not them) into this. Shadar-kai in 4e were originally humans who migrated to the Shadowfell in pursuit of immortality. They got their wish- sort of. Shadar-kai don't age and can theoretically live forever, but if they ever succumb to ennui, they start to fade away. The Shadar-kai thus have an active and vibrant culture, devoted to exploration, self-expression, and a general 'carpe diem' attitude. These guys consider bragging contests a sport. | |

The Harry Potter films portray Bellatrix Lestrange as a villainous example of this. She wears worn, tattered-looking black dresses with tight leather corsets and black high-heeled boots,a necklace in the shape of a bird's skull and has thick, dark hair and dark undereye circles. She's also very much a Perky Female Minion to Voldemort, with very childlike mannerisms- to the point of excitedly cheering and jumping up and down after lighting a house on fire. | |

Nintendo Wars: Lash from Advance Wars is a Perky Goth villain. It's not to say she isn't evil, but she's a chipper and cheerful Manchild of an Evil Genius, with a theme that absolutely slaps, and easily the most cheerful of all the villains. In the "defeat" conversation at one point in the third game, she even growls, "No more miss nice perky goth!" | |

In Gunnerkrigg Court Parley's classmate Lily Cooke (or "Cookie Monster") fits the type, between her love of dark colours, visible ex-fairies' influences and cat smile. Jenny in a later chapter is another example. She's a bit less perky but she's still very friendly. As a bonus she's an actual witch. |

Ditto Zombina and the Skeletones. They don't take the goth part terribly seriously as their name would suggest, primarily writing energetic Pop Punk songs about their love of B-movies, mad science, pulp fiction, and retro science. Though from time to time they'll throw out a few surprisingly darker and melancholic songs just to shake things up. | |

Ask A Mortician, a Youtube webseries where Caitlin Doughty, a licensed mortician, cheerfully answers people's questions about death, burial, cremation, and other such things. To answer someone's question if it's possible to bake someone's cremated remains into a chocolate cake (no, really, that was the question), she does precisely that with some fake remains (with "Sorry U Died" written in icing). The cake was apparently quite disgusting, and the whole thing was hilariously absurd. | |

The World's End has a male example in the form of Gary King, a cheerful, lively middle-aged fan of classic Goth band The Sisters of Mercy who wears a black trench coat and fingerless gloves. The character of Gary King is actually a parody of the way an older Perky Goth would be perceived by the rest of the world outside of the Goth subculture: as irresponsible and immature, with an adolescent attitude well into adulthood. He's also a Deconstruction, as his manic attitude is eventually shown to be covering for a deep depression at never having achieved anything in his life. It is also revealed that he has been hospitalized for attempting suicide at least once. | |

LiÅ� from, well Liō. He's mute, but his joyous grins and gleeful attitude speak for themselves. He frequently breaks out into hysterical laughter, usually at the outcome of a prank he just pulled. As for the "Goth" part of the equation... read the comic, but this is a pretty good demonstration. | |

John Entwistle of The Who. Famously The Quiet One in the band, he put his lighter side on display via Halloween-like imagery, such as the skull costume he often wore and his self-penned, darkly comedic Step Up to the Microphone moments like "Boris the Spider" and "My Wife". | |

Craig of the Creek has Tabitha and Courtney, two teenage goth girls who are dubbed "The Witches of the Creek" by the elementary school aged main characters. The two (particularly Tabitha) are amused by the intimidating witchy image the kids have of them and enjoy messing with them, but they're very playful and even end up helping the kids a few times. | |

Lacuna Coil: Much of their music belongs to the Gothic Metal genre, and their scene shows and videos are quite dark, but the band's off-stage image is much perkier and more positive. Lead singer Cristina Scabbia's public image as a vlogger and Twitch streamer is quite positive, enthusiastic and happy, at the same time as she obviously likes Goth paraphernalia and clothes even off-stage. In the official video for "Nothing Stands In Our Way", the entire band shows this attitude in the behind-the-stage footage. |

The 1999 direct-to-video Scooby-Doo movie, Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost, features "The Hex Girls", a rock-band trio of friendly Goth girls. They identify themselves as "Eco-Goths", are deeply involved with environmental causes, and the lead singer's Wiccan background becomes key in dealing with the titular Witch's Ghost. They generally retained both aspects of this trope in subsequent appearances in the franchise (namely in Scooby-Doo! and the Legend of the Vampire and Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated). | |

Raven Madison from Vampire Kisses is a mixture of highly stereotyped goth who listens to Him, Marilyn Manson, and strangely enough The Cruxshadows (strange not because she's goth, but because most music references were ones that are what people think goths listen to), wears mostly black, is obsessive over vampires, and is disliked by most people, but besides that she acts like any other teenager. | |

hololive EN: Calliope "Calli" Mori is a literal grimm reaper (and first apprentice to the Grimm Reaper), who dresses like a cross between a stereotypical evil queen and an Elegant Gothic Lolita, is seldom seen without her massive Sinister Scythe on her back, and raps about her love of death and murder. She's also an incredibly sweet, friendly, and funny girl prone to blushing. The exception is when she's around Kiara, who brings out her Tsun side. Her song Deadbeats is half about her love of murder, and half about her love of her fans (who are called "Deadbeats"). EN's third generation introduces Shiori Novella, who flat-out describes herself as "your hot goth girlfriend, question mark?" and admits to liking Hot Topic. She's also a huge nerd who squees on stream over obscure facerig technology and science facts. |

Richmond from The IT Crowd, who listens to Cradle of Filth and is mistaken for a vampire on his first appearance, but who is generally cheery despite being severely demoted and spending most of his time supervising equipment he can't even identify. Although he almost seems completely oblivious to the fact that he is a Goth... or at least oblivious to other people's reaction to him or the stereotype associated with being a Goth. Maybe it makes sense for him to be happy. | |

Danny Phantom: Sam Manson is very clearly one of these. By outward appearance, she's your stereotypical Goth girl. But she's actually quite happy with the way life is! She often tries to be a stereotypical edgy, brooding goth, but it never lasts long. It generally appears as though Sam considers herself a Goth because she likes the style... or because she wanted to rebel against her parents. During the Christmas season, she becomes so cheery and full of holiday spirit that it unnerves everyone around her! | |

Animal Crossing has Muffy, a sheep with black wool, pale white skin, black lipstick, and striped purple horns. New Horizons also makes her default outfit a dark purple Ruffled Dress. Her gothic appearance is contrasted with her Cool Big Sis personality type, making her a Tomboy with a Girly Streak who will become very protective of the player once they get close. Her birthday also happens to fall on Valentine’s Day, an overlap she enjoys for effectively giving her a double party. Lottie usually wears a business suit in her job as a home decorator, but in Pocket Camp, she shows up wearing Elegant Gothic Lolita fashion as part of "Lottie's Gothic Rose Festival", talking about her favorite goth band. |

Codex Equus: Sola Mors of the Trimortidae. Despite her preference for Goth fashion, Sola Mors is rather joyful, carefree, and fun-loving, if a bit eccentric and emotional. And despite embodying the aspect of Lonely Deaths - or perhaps because of it - she's very kind and warm-hearted, and reaches out to those who have fallen into loneliness and despair. She was also this as a mortal teenager, but constant bullying for being "weird" as well as non-interference from her school gradually wore away at her psyche until she killed herself. | |

Doctor Who: A couple incarnations of the Doctor have slipped into this; particularly the Retconned-out Ninth Doctor played by Richard E. Grant. The Fourth Doctor also fits, but it's a played-with example — he doesn't really dress the part (or at least his garish, oversized scarf ruins the effect of his dark Victorian coats, red ascots and poet shirts), but his character was inspired by starving Victorian gothic poets and he acted like a Gothic Horror hero — albeit the cheeriest, cutest one you could ever imagine. In other words, he's a "goth" in the Victorian sense. Heck, even the actual canon Ninth Doctor could be considered to fit. His outfit (leather jacket, black pants, navy undershirt) was practically Gothic compared to previous Doctors. And he certainly had his perky moments. But then again, he had enough dark moments that we may just have to call him Bipolar Goth. "Midnight": Jethro Cane wears leather cuffs and black nail polish, but while a typical moody and rebellious teen, is much nicer and more reasonable than his jerkass parents. He's notably the least vocal about the idea of killing Sky and is visibly uneasy about the other passengers turning on the Doctor, although he's too fearful to do anything about it (again, typical of a teenager; peer pressure is a problem for a reason, and Jethro's own father is the one trying to drag the Doctor to his doom). |

Yugi, the eponymous character of Yu-Gi-Oh!, dresses either in all black or in absurdly cute outfits, has wild hair (that's natural) and wears chains, LOTS of leather and dog-collars... Yeah, collars. His monster theme is darkness and black magic (while also keeping cards like Kuriboh or Dark Magician Girl) and he is regularly possessed by a spirit that's at the very least EXTREMELY ruthless. None of this stops him from being a pacifistic, friendship-obsessed sweetheart. And also cute. The spirit is confirmed NOT to be influencing Yugi's goth stylings, in fact he dislikes the look himself. |

Survival of the Fittest has Anna Chase of v4 and Keira MacDonald of the spinoff Evolution. Anna's a little more downplayed on the perky part, and while not a Shrinking Violet, can come off as seemingly rather meek at times. However, she still definitely fits the description. Keira, however, is played completely straight; her "power" is that she coughs up smoke at irregular intervals, for crying out loud! | |

Safety Patrol: Most of Hannah's clothing is black (even part of her cheerleading uniform) and she wears dark lipstick and eyeshadow, but she's a pretty nice person who only gets mopey when there's something to be mopey about. | |

Ruby Gloom is pretty much what happens when you make a show based around this trope, with the titular character being an incredibly cheerful girl who wears dark clothing and lives in a old Victorian mansion. This is hammered in by the show's theme song telling the audience that they're going "to show you the bright side of the dark side." | |

Entrapta in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power was designed as a Perky Cybergoth, with a purple-dominated colour palette, big, chunky steel-capped boots, long oddly-tinted hair, and a scary red-eyed mask, contrasting with an extremely upbeat and likeable demeanour. She even manages to make friends with Big Bad Hordak, who is entirely devoid of perkiness. | |

Tomoe Hotaru/Sailor Saturn from Sailor Moon. Despite tending to wear dark clothes, keeping a dimly-lit (and somewhat creepy-looking) room, and wielding the element of death and destruction, Hotaru is a very kind and even joyful girl when she can be, especially when Chibi-Usa is around. | |

Brimstone Valley Mall: Asmoraius is a demon who likes to dress in dark lipstick and eye shadow, Victorian-style clothing, and proudly boasts that he's "goth as fuck." He's also incredibly outgoing and personable, and one of the friendlier demons in the series. Trainee is a cheerful, happy-go-lucky teenage girl who wears pentagram jewlery and whose interests include witchcraft and trying to summon demons. |

Jennifer "Jen" Tate, main character of Primal, dresses in a crimson, midriff-baring shirt with black pants and lots of leather belts all about, on top of having pale skin, black eyeshadow, and a spiky-looking back tattoo. She also spends much of the game transforming into various creepy monstrous humanoids. She's nonetheless surprisingly cheerful and quippy overall. | |

Bliss from Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken is one, due to her having dark clothes and dark makeover, though initially lacking the black hair at the start of the film with her hair dyed a dark green, she fully switches to black in time for the big Prom dance and witnessing the battle between Nerissa and Ruby. She also has a penchant for "catastrophizing", as in predicting bad things that happen, but most of it never happens. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Anne used to be a regular at The Sunset Club, a gothic night club for vampire poseurs and wannabes. However, most members had never actually seen a real vampire, and thus they naively believed them to be gentle, misunderstood beings, referring to them as the "Lonely Ones". | |

The short-lived Scottish synthpop duo Strawberry Switchblade was signed to Korova, the same label as Echo & the Bunnymen and other post punk acts. Yet, their light bubblegum pop sound, coupled with their flamboyant style - frilly black outfits studded in polka dots - set them apart from their labelmates. Strawberry Switchblade were a one hit wonder with their song "Since Yesterday" in most of the world, but they were also incredibly popular in Japan, possibly making them an Ur-Example to a sister trope. | |
