History Characters / PantyAndStockingWithGarterBelt

* EmbodimentOfVice: With Panty representing Lust, and Stocking representing Sloth and Gluttony.

* ByronicHeroine: Lustful, beautiful, and charismatic, but also ruthless, rebellious, and self-serving, not to mention in exile. More comical than the typical kind, but fits the mold nonetheless.

* EmbodimentOfVice: Panty represents the sin of Lust.

* SevenDeadlySins: She's often considered the personification of Lust.

* {{Bishounen}}: [[spoiler: With his hair out of his eyes, he becomes stunningly handsome. Notably, his nose becomes sharper and his freckles become less prominent, making him overall much more attractive.]]

* MsFanservice: In a different way from Panty, but her cuteness and ElegantGothicLolita attire have their own appeal. There is also the fact that she is the bustier of the duo, which tends to get a lot of attention of the camera.

* MagicalGirlWarrior: Very, very loosely. They have a TransformationSequence, fight evil every episode, and collect {{MacGuffin}}s, but they're [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld much older than the usual]], fight with traditional weapons rather than any kind of magic, are ridiculously self-centered (as opposed to the all-loving selflessness of a "classic" magical girl), and would rather spend time indulging in hedonistic pleasures than fighting. Oh, and their TeamPet (who would be a MentorMascot in any other series) is a useless little glutton who mostly exists to serve as the cast's punching bag.

* MsFanservice: In a different way from Panty, but her cuteness and ElegantGothicLolita attire have their own appeal.

* MeaningfulName: "Queen Bee" can mean both a literal InsectQueen and an AlphaBitch, she is both!

* AmbiguouslyBi: She falls in love with a male ghost in "Ghost: The Phantom of Daten City", but also gleefully touches the breasts of several cheerleaders in "High School Nudical".

* CovertPervert: In fact, she only really qualifies as "covert" in comparison to the supernova of sexuality eclipsing her.

* AngeicBeauty: Panty & Stocking are both angels and [[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman are considered very attractive]] by almost every male character, and [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer even some female characters]], with some high school students believing them to be goddesses in the Japanese version or celebrities in the English dub. Panty takes advantage of this by being a LovableSexManiac, whose goal is to have sex with 1000 men.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: During Stocking's romance with a ghost, Panty drops her act and tries her hardest to get Stocking to break up with the ghost. When she has an honest conversation with Stocking she admits that finding true love is right, but as an angel of heaven she cannot do so with a ghost. Panty reacts extremely angry to this.

* Kneesocks is visibly horrified that the angels were willing to let Brief die just to get a possible cheap shot at them. At first this looks like HypocriteHasAPoint because she took him hostage, but then you realize she still had the safety on and never intended to hurt him to begin with.

* GratuitousEnglish: They use quite a bit of it, which shouldn't surprise anyone familiar with the works of Creator/StudioGainax. Even their ImageSong, "D-City Rock," is in perfectly fluent English.

* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: Panty's the one who's out to get all the boys, but both girls are considered drop-dead gorgeous in-universe. When they make their entrance into Daten City High in "Turmoil of the Beehive," the entire student body is immediately stunned, with one boy exclaiming "Rich girls!" and another saying "Goddesses!"

** "Sex and the Daten City" shows her maintaining a dessert review blog.

* TheChewToy: Literally the [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chuck_gets_beat_up_2286.jpg poster boy]] for this trope. His day starts with a fresh, crisp lightning bolt from the heavens, warms up by being chopped into a couple dozen pieces by either Stocking or Kneesocks, progresses to being run through a blender, and pretty much rolls from there. [[HarmlessElectrocution Electrical]] [[HighVoltageDeath outlets]], [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]], [[VehicularAssault car wheels]], bycicles, walls that break his headlong flight...

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Chopped into a couple dozen pieces, run through a blender, top of skull destroyed bycar wheel.

* ExtremeOmnisexual: {{Lust}}ful to the point of humping [[AnythingThatMoves anything with a pulse]]... or without ([[PirateNinjaZombieRobot Ghost-]][[{{Robosexual}} trains]] included).

* TraumaticHaircut: In "The Hairdresser's Bad Wife," Panty spits out her gum and it lands in Stocking's hair. She offers to make it right, but cuts off the entire lock with the gum in it. Then she cuts off the lock on the opposite side, and then cuts off more and more hair until Stocking is bald. About two seconds later, Stocking gets her revenge by cutting off the top of Panty's skull and styling the resulting blood splatter into her old hairstyle.

* BuxomBeautyStandard: Her "titters" are huge compared to Panty's and she [[BigBreastPride takes pride in them]].

* BoobsOfSteel: The bustier of the duo, and can slice you up into bits and pieces.

* BoobsOfSteel: Is the bustier of the Daemon Sisters, rivaling Stocking in bust size, and is just as much of an athletic and agile GunFu artist as Panty is.

* {{Leitmotif}}: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCut2rFo1bk Theme for Scanty & Kneesocks]]".

* SiblingIncest: [[spoiler:Revealed in "D.C. Confidential" that they apparently often engage in sex when the Mayor

isn't looking.]]

* UglyGuyHotWife: His repulsive self, paired with Stocking, a beautiful angel. Except, Stocking is technically not his wife, [[spoiler: but she ''is'' his fiancé.]]

''"Bravo, Kneesocks. Bravo! Continue your assiduous assault until those hackney angels are broke! Shame them into the depths of despair and then annihilate them!"''

An agent from Hell. Unlike the angels, she and her younger sister Kneesocks are intent on ruling with law and order (their own brand of it, of course) and speak in a more elegant style. However, Scanty has a [[HairTriggerTemper very short temper]] and takes their rivalry with the angels very seriously upon losing to them for the first time. Like Panty, she can also turn her panties into guns, in this case revolvers.

* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Dark red like her sister Kneesocks.
* ArrangedMarriage: [[spoiler: To Brief so that the mayor may harness the power of his magical dick. ItMakesSenseInContext.]]
* BifurcatedWeapon: She can also combine her revolvers to form a shotgun.
* BitingTheHandkerchief: More out of anger than grief.
* BoobsOfSteel: Is the bustier of the Daemon Sisters, rivaling Stocking in bust size, and is just as much of an athletic and agile GunFu artist as Panty is.
* CoDragons: With her sister to [[spoiler: Corset]].
* DarkActionGirl: About the only person who can match Panty in a shooting competition.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: She, Kneesocks, and Fastener look downright horrified when they see [[spoiler:Stocking pull out her sword and slice Panty into 666 pieces]].
* EvilCounterpart: To Panty. They're both {{Action Girl}}s who use handguns and have [[HairTriggerTemper violent tempers]] and swear much more than their sisters (the difference being that of the angels Panty swears ''far'' more than Stocking, and of the demons Scanty is the one who gets [[GoshDangItToHeck actual swear words out]]).
* {{Expy}}: Scanty has more than just a passing resemblance to Nia of ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''. Double points because it's Gainax.
** Her red skin, long, wild green hair and yellow/green, spiral-y eyes also makes her bear an uncanny resemblance to Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann itself.
* GoshDangItToHeck: Mostly played straight in the dub, with only two aversions.
* HairReboot: A chunk of her hair gets burnt in "If Angels Wore Swimsuits", but fixes itself moments later.
* HairTriggerTemper: Ever since her fight with Panty, Scanty gets angry with minimal provocation at virtually anything that comes out of the angels' mouths.
* HornedHumanoid: Has two small horns on either side of her head that just barely peek out of her hair.

* LadyOfWar: To an extent. Elegant and armed with an revolver, that temper of hers wouldn't be considered graceful.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Like the rest of the characters who aren't [[spoiler: [[EvilAllAlong Stocking]]]], she did ''not'' see [[spoiler: Corset's backup plan]] coming.
* NamedWeapons: Double Gold Lacytanga.
* NobleDemon: Neither she nor her sister are nice but they're very big on [[RunningGag "Rrrrrrrrrrrules"]]. Also it may have been [[PragmaticVillainy for pragmatism's sake]] but they're both incensed that the angels Panty and Stocking would let Brief (their friend/lackey) DIE just for a ''possible'' shot at them.
* TheOjou: She even has the noblewoman's laugh.
* PrecisionFStrike: In the dub of [[spoiler: "Bitch Girls", when Hellsmonkey is freed from his prison.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Kneesocks''': Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!\\
'''Scanty''': Holy motherfucking God dammit shit!]]
* RevolversAreJustBetter: Unlike Panty, Scanty uses revolvers rather than pistols.

* ScarsAreForever: [[spoiler: At least by the end of "Bitch Girls: 2 Bitch", in which Panty throws a burning pair of panties at her face, leaving a burn mark that lasts the rest of the episode.]]
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: In the dub, going so far as to replace the majority of the cursing in the original script.
* ShoutOut: Both she and her sister could be a shout out to Him of ''The Powerpuff Girls''
* SiblingIncest: [[spoiler:Revealed in "D.C. Confidential" that she and Kneesocks apparently often engage in sex when the Mayor isn't looking.]]

* TsurimeEyes: Only surpassed in this category by her sister.
* WhyWontYouDie: During her first brawl with Panty, she's seen firing her revolvers (as she's seen missing every shot) at her while furiously screeching out this trope exactly word for word which is highly fluctuated by her highly increased aggravation.

[[quoteright:188:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kneesocks_psg.png]]

''"There, are you happy? Our time has been pilfered and you've nothing to show for it! We are still in charge of this school, we're intelligent and pulchritudinous, and the students here will always worship us!"''

Scanty's younger sister and another agent of Hell. Pretty much the same as her sister, though she's the more outspoken one of the two, plus she's far more proficient at controlling her temper than Scanty. Unlike Stocking, her knee socks turn into scythes.

* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Dark red like her sister Scanty.
** Oddly enough, blushing makes her turn a ''lighter'' shade of red.

* DarkActionGirl: She's just as good in melee as Stocking is.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: She, Scanty, and Fastener look downright horrified when they see [[spoiler:Stocking pull out her sword and slice Panty into 666 pieces]].

* GoshDangItToHeck: In the dub. Kneesocks is the only main character who never swears throughout the entire series. However, [[spoiler: her Tom Croose disguise averts it completely.]]

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Like the rest of the characters who aren't [[spoiler: [[EvilAllAlong Stocking]]]], she did ''not'' see [[spoiler: Corset's backup plan]] coming.
* LuminescentBlush: Usually when particularly angry/her disguise is slipping.

* NobleDemon: Neither she nor her sister are nice but they're very big on [[RunningGag "Rrrrrrrrrrrules"]]. Also it may have been [[PragmaticVillainy for pragmatism's sake]] but they're both incensed that the angels Panty and Stocking would let Brief (their friend/lackey) DIE just for a ''possible'' shot at them.

* SiblingIncest: [[spoiler:Revealed in "D.C. Confidential" that she and Scanty apparently often engage in sex when the Mayor isn't looking.]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: "Knee Socks" according to the soundtrack.

* TrrrillingRrrs: Scanty and Kneesocks are kinda big on "Rrrrrrrules".

* WindsOfDestinyChange: Implied in "The Stripping" to have the power to impose bad luck on others.

* VagueAge: It's never stated how old she and Stocking are; while they appear to be in their late teens and can pass off as high school students, an offhand comment by Stocking in "Catfight Club" implies that she and Panty are [[Really700YearsOld over 500 years old]]. What is known is that she's the older sister, but how much older isn't explained either.

* VagueAge: According to her in "Catfight Club", there's a 500 year-long waiting list on some pudding she bought. This implies that she and Panty are Really700YearsOld, but they look no older than their late teens. What is known is that she's the younger sister, by how much younger isn't explained either.

Hear me talk about myself in my own fucking words on my [[SelfDemonstrating/PantyAnarchy own page!]]

* LadySwearsALot: Swears [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQmxKZFbbEA the most out of the entire cast]], not to mention dropping '''''over 250 variations of the word [[ClusterFBomb "fuck"]]''''' throughout the entire series. [[SelfDemonstratingArticle Un-fucking-believable]].

* GratuitousEnglish: They use quite a bit of it, which shouldn't surprise anyone familiar with the works of Creator/StudioGainax. Even their ImageSong, "D-City Rock," is in [[SurprisinglyGoodEnglish perfectly fluent English.]]

* InTheNameOfTheMoon: ''Break, O Earth. Dry up, O sea. Burn out, O sun. Grant us power, Earthly leaders and gatekeepers of Hell. Guide us, makers of the underworld! We are high-class Demon Commanders!''
