History Main / DarkChick

* On ''{{Leverage}}'', Parker is the DarkChick of the [[AntiVillain]] [[VillainProtagonists Protagonists.]] The team all have, by season 2 at least, the desire help people for its own sake. But most of the crew are very sane and, although they enjoy the thrill of the chase, they really, ''really'' enjoy spending their earnings and living the high life. They also tend to be able to lead relatively normal lives aside from the addiction to con-jobs. Parker, meanwhile, is the loon who enjoys having and fondling money itself, rather than spending any of it. She enjoys the job itself more than any vacation and she has no understanding of any kind of life outside of committing crimes for their own sake.

However, also as frequent is for this member to be defined by their tactics. If the other members revolve their plans around stealth infiltration to get things done, this is the member whose plan involves a 'distraction' - often involving them and a small explosive device. If the organization involves manipulating people through blackmail, then this is the member that seduces people to further the plans. Also common is for this member to factor emotion into their tactics moreso than the other members. Instead of setting up a XanatosGambit based on the logical actions and reactions of the parties involved, they instead set up emotional strife that has little to do with their roles but sets up their actions.

The Dark Chick is an integral part of the FiveBadBand dynamic. It's also the predominant type of member that shows up in the QuirkyMinibossSquad, where pretty much everybody overlaps with this. It's also not impossible for the Dark Chick to show up in a FiveManBand in place of TheChick.

* Another male example: Yun from ''[[DarkForcesSaga Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight]]''. [[spoiler:If you're on the Light Side path, he [[RedemptionEqualsDeath sacrifices himself]] to give you a fair chance against his mistress, Sariss (a Dark Chick of another sort).]]

** Terrorsaur and Waspinator in ''BeastWars''. Hell, Terrorsaur's even got the voice and the rack.

**** Given the amazing quality of the writing for ''BeastWars'' this is not a bad thing.

** Arguably, she's TheEvilGenius of the Homunculi's group, being highly intelligent and manipulative and in the second series, one of the most high-ranking, ruthless, and loyal to [[spoiler:Father]]. In the second series at least, the second Greed fills the role instead as a male version of the Dark Chick, [[spoiler:complete with a HeelFaceTurn,]] although in the first series, Lust may fill this role better.

** Tsukiko, who's also something of a SixthRanger (and more recently, semi-CoDragon with Redcloak), only joined Team Evil because 1) she had a grudge against Azure City for "persecuting" her for her [[ILoveTheDead habits]] (which has evolved to thinking all HumansAreBastards) and 2) she's [[MadLove in love with Xykon]].

** Petrine in FireEmblem 9.

** Also the [[AxCrazy clearly]] [[PsychoElectro insane]] Larxene.
** And Demyx in ''KingdomHeartsII''. Another male example.

* Mileena from ''MortalKombat'', especially in ''MortalKombat9'', where her pre-battle quotes show that she takes a childlike joy in inflicting pain and is clearly insane.

** Another Dark Chick in ''[[{{ptitlefjcz80qe}} Dissidia]]'' is [[FinalFantasyIX Kuja]], whose flamboyance and inexperience tend to separate him from the rest of the Chaos side.

** In ''GundamSEEDDestiny'', CloudCuckooLander and [[PsychopathicManchild Psychopathic Girlchild]] Stella is the DarkChick of the Extended trio. Just contrast her behaviour with that of [[EvilGenius icy-cold Sting]], AxeCrazy [[TheBrute Auel]], or ManipulativeBastard [[TheDragon Neo Roanoke]].

** Rosie Carver in ''LiveAndLetDie''.

* In ''PowerRanger'', the villainess tend to mix this with dark action girl.

** Vypra in ''LightspeedRescue''
* And ''SuperSentai'', they has alot!(The list is as long as TheDragon)

* Ghost Widow, Countess Crey, and Vanessa DeVore from ''CityOfHeroes''.

* Fox, from the first ''BloodyRoar'' game. A sadistic transvestite in hot pink leather. Also considered his fox beastform "ugly," despite it being one of the most attractive animals to turn into -- especially compared to the gorilla and boar.
* Barbariccia of the Four Fiends in ''FinalFantasyIV''.
* In ''FinalFantasyVI'', ''[[OmnicidalManiac Kefka]]'' was the Dark Chick of the FiveBadBand, despite the presence of Celes, the female general. [[spoiler: In a twist, he also [[TheStarscream becomes the final BigBad by killing another general and then the Emperor.]]]]

*** Blitzwing is a male example, being set apart from the rest of the group by his weird powers and [[strike: borderline]] insanity.
