JAFAAC: Dark Chick

It's a picture of some blonde chick looking off to the side. There's nothing to indicate that she's the "quirky" or different member of the Five-Man Band. For all I know, this could be about her hairstyle. Perhaps some sort of group pic would work?

This is a true JAFAAC picture.

Motion to pull.

Eddie pulled it.

An ensemble pic would be best, with the Dark Chick pointed out. Or maybe a comparison between The Chick and the Dark Chick?

What is with the Final Fantasy fans? At least it wasn't Kefka again.

I've got no idea how to picture this.

Wait, FFVII? Who the fuck is that supposed to be?

It's Scarlet. Bad image. Any mental image for this?

Ty Lee from Avatar The Last Airbender is a good example (I think this used to have a picture of her, though it was another JAFAAC). I can't readily think of any scenes that would make a good picture, though.

Scarlett? Who remembers Scarlett?! Hell, I didn't even remember Scarlett!

I remember Scarlett, but I wouldn't have recognised the woman in the pulled picture if I hadn't been told it was from Final Fantasy VII. It looks like fanart to me.

Without actually reading the trope page - would the Baroness count?

She's, well, The Baroness.

Its really really funny how many guys are on that page... anyways Demyx from Kingdom Hearts 2 comes to mind. Lacking pic though.

And so she is...alrighty then.

I assumed that was Scarlet from one of the spinoff games. (EDIT: Confirmed.) I don't follow the series, so I don't know how representative she is.

Any mental image of how this can be pictured?

You'd need a picture of a Five Bad Band with the Dark Chick either the focal member of the pose, or at least visually distinctive at a glance from the others for it to work.

The thing is, the five man band has fiction's most famous FMB, that being the Star Wars crew. I propose we do the same for the baddies, with a crew that is 1. Very well known and 2. Fits the molds perfectly or near-perfectly. The best groups I can think of are the Evil Exes (Scott Pilgrim,) the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad (Kill Bill,) Dooku and his henchmen (Star Wars prequels,) the Linear Guild (OOTS,) and Cobra (GI Joe.)

By no means a complete list, and there are a few up there that you could argue against belonging on that list. But to keep with the Star Wars theme, I nominate Asajj Ventress as the new image.

I don't think that Scott Pilgrim technically counts. She's a chick, yes, and she's evil, yes, but she's really no different from the others as far as quirkiness is concerned. I don't know any of the other groups you mentioned, but I looked up group pictures and none clearly expressed who the Dark Chick was. But again, I don't know the groups so I didn't know what key words to look for.

Backing up to the Ty Lee example, the best image you're going to find of her in the series being the Dark Chick is the last frame of The Beach◊.

That's actually a really good picture, but honestly, they could be mistaken for a group of heroes. It's just a random group of teenagers to someone who doesn't know the show.

Would Bellatrix Lestrange from Harry Potter work? She is widely-known Dark Chick, and a picture such as this one◊ gives us her essence.

She's more of a Baroness, but yes, she's still very much the Dark Chick of the Death Eaters.

The page lists the Carrows as the Dark Chicks of the Death Eaters; Bellatrix would definitely be more of The Baroness.

Yeah, I don't see Bellatrix as the Dark Chick at all. Dark Chicks are usually less torture-happy.

Past attempts to give this trope a picture have been really bad, honestly. It's just a mess.

How about Psycho Pink?

It's already established that the Pink Ranger tends to be The Chick - Well, outside of the original Super Sentai and Time Force where she's either the Lancer or the Leader.

Psycho Pink fits the description pretty well - Not only that, even in the episodes where she's featured she is shown to more competent that the standing pink rangers in combat. Violent. Aggressive. Willing to backstab her own teammates - Manages to survive the destruction of the rest of her team to seek her own revenge and a lust for power.
