Asexuality is now a disambiguation page. If it's only confirmed by Word Of God, put it under Word Of Gay on the Trivia page and mention when it was confirmed.

The Sourballs as a whole really.whole, although Foxy and Arsenic from the outset have rather less "jerk" in them than the other two band members.
** When filling in for Coco as the Candy Hearts' bassist for a few weeks, [[{{Narcissist}} Damian]] of all people finds the band's kindness and sweetness rubbing off on him. Although he ultimately decides this isn't really who he is and [[StatusQuoIsGod goes back to his old self]] upon rejoining the Angels, he does send Honey Hart a heartfelt thank-you note and angel wings as a present.

* NobodyLovesTheBassist: Honey Hart is thrilled to learn that Cherry, the Candy Hearts' tambourinist, can also play drums and won a local child beauty pageant. Meanwhile, Coco, the bassist, meekly says she also plays the oboe, is bilingual and is on a soccer team... but no one pays attention.



* ThePowerOfRock



* StalkerWithoutACrush: Wild-eyed Soda Sweet (real name Sonya) charms her way into the Candy Hearts and becomes Honey Hart's new best friend. Then she frames Turpentine for the kidnapping of Cherry's puppies, drugs Honey Hart and takes her place on stage.

Added DiffLines:

* TheVoiceless: Zero never speaks on panel. His only line in the comic is from an in-universe newspaper interview ("I just dig playing drums"), and Jacques was even open to a fan's suggestion that the reporter merely fabricated that quote for appearance's sake. That Zero ''can'' speak is confirmed when Honey Hart, giving a toast at his wedding, says that he "couldn't shut up" about his husband-to-be right from their first date.
