History Characters / DestructiveHarmonics

* AmbiguousDisorder: She's a bit of an odd duck even apart from being a GeniusDitz WeirdnessMagnet musical prodigy. This was actually one of the reasons for her aunt's overprotective behavior during her childhood.

Oddly enough, she doesn't actually wear makeup offstage except for media appearances, but she spends enough time on hair care to make up for it.

* {{Bishonen}}

----
<<|CharacterSheets|>>

* TheChick: lampshaded.
--> "Officially, I'm the bass player, but my real job is to [[TheHeart keep the two guitarists from killing each other]]."

* RapunzelHair

%%* {{Meganekko}}

* {{Meganekko}}: Although her personality is more in line with the StoicSpectacles stereotype, she does have a nerdy side as well, since she shows some familiarity with pre-fourth edition ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' and its alignment system.

* {{Meganekko}}

* {{Meganekko}}

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: her later works.

%%** {{Asexuality}}

%%* {{Transgender}}

Venus Envy's drummer. A cheerful and resilient {{transgender}} redhead.

* {{Transgender}}

* DitzyGenius: he's book-smart, but has a tendency to focus on specific details while CompletelyMissingThePoint of a situation as a whole.

* {{Adorkable}}: despite the MANLINESS, he can be oddly sweet.

* SuperSenses: Relatively mundane version - she has ears like a bat. [[DontExplainTheJoke In terms of capabilities, not]] [[{{Kemonomimi}} appearance.]]

* ArtistDisillusionment: they don't ''hate'' their fans, exactly, but sometimes they find them irritating and a bit disturbing even by NightmareFetishist standards (not without reason - it's not as if the amount of SeriousBusiness in their fandom encourages sane and temperate behavior.)
* BunnyEarsLawyer: for all their other failings and eccentricities, they're all talented musicians.
* [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Crouching Ditz Hidden Badass]]: they're surprisingly good at handling [[WeirdnessMagnet bizarrely dangerous situations]] even without [[BattleButler Artemisia]]'s help. (It's the mundane dangers they have more trouble with.)

* FiveManBand
* FloralThemeNaming

* GeniusDitz
* HeavyMithril

* ThePowerOfRock
* TheRockStar
* SelfDeprecation
* TrueCompanions
* TwoferTokenMinority: possibly all of them, depending on how you define "minority."
* WeirdnessMagnet

* BigBeautifulWoman: Borderline example. She's pretty full-figured by celebrity standards, at least.
* BigGirl: very much a Type 3. She's a bit of a marshmallow for a very tall, perpetually black clad former dominatrix turned heavy metal vocalist.
* BoobsOfSteel: she's not a combatant, but she is the most physically powerful person in the band as well as the most well-endowed.

* ContraltoOfDanger
* CuteLittleFangs
* DaddysGirl
* DarkIsNotEvil

* DarknessVonGothickname
* EverybodyHatesMathematics: she does, at least. Her outstanding suckitude at matters mathematical probably contributed a lot to her lack of respect for her own intellectual prowess.
* FaceOfAThug: her naturally intimidating appearance is an advantage in her current job, but caused her problems in high school.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: she likes the beer.

* HolierThanThou: averted. She's a Christian, and neither outstandingly depraved nor outstandingly virtuous.
* KindheartedCatLover
* TheLeader
* MakeMeWannaShout: unintentional variant. She gave up on DeathMetal because her lower register tended to break things and make listeners [[BrownNote acutely uncomfortable.]]
* OfCorsetsSexy: on occasion.
* StatuesqueStunner: she's 6'3" in her socks.
* StoutStrength: she deliberately cultivates this.

* TeamMom: sometimes functions this way when Artemisia is elsewhere.
* VerbalTic: she, uh, tends to use a fair amount of, y'know, speech fillers.

* AlliterativeName
* BishieSparkle: when she's being particularly fabulous.
* [[CantHoldHisLiquor Can't Hold Her Liquor]]: she has worse tolerance than Violet, who is ''tiny.''
* ChubbyChaser: it isn't made a big deal of, but she tends to be attracted to women who are curvier than is fashionable.
* DefrostingIceQueen: while she doesn't lose all her arrogance, she gradually becomes a little friendlier and more emotionally open with her bandmates.
* ForgetsToEat: she tends to lose her appetite when she's under stress. Excellent for maintaining her slender figure, not so great for keeping her energy up on long, demanding tours.
* IcyBlueEyes
* InsufferableGenius: only when it comes to music.
* TheLancer
* LethalChef: she's managed to ruin ramen, toast, and tea. Fortunately, she knows her limits.
* LipstickLesbian: with occasional forays into AnythingThatMoves, although she prefers women for the most part.
** Oddly enough, she doesn't actually wear makeup offstage except for media appearances, but she spends enough time on hair care to make up for it.
* LookingForLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces
* PetitePride: at the very least, being on the flat side hasn't ''hurt'' her body image any.
* PickyEater: justified, since she has a lot of allergies and food intolerances.
* RapunzelHair: the longest in the band.
* ShesGotLegs

* TeamPrimaDonna
* {{Transgender}}
* TheUnfavorite: her parents were preoccupied with her [[LittlestCancerPatient chronically ill]] twin brother (both before and after his death) and didn't pay much attention to Lilja unless they needed a blood donor.
* VanityIsFeminine: although, to be fair, fame tends to make people self-conscious.
* VerbalTic: she very rarely uses contractions and occasionally falls into mild PoirotSpeak, although her overall grasp of English is pretty good.

* BlackAndNerdy
* CoolBigSis: she's a few years older than the other girls, has the most [[SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll worldly experience]], and winds up listening to a lot of their personal problems that they don't consider urgent enough to take to Artemisia. However, she resists being thought of as the TeamMom.

* EruditeStoner

* HartmanHips
* ImmuneToDrugs: which has its downsides, like the reduced efficacy of most painkillers.
* {{Meganekko}}
* OccidentalOtaku: with a particular fondness for MindScrew anime.
* OhMyGods: she tends to invoke the deities of Ancient Egypt in various creative ways.
* OneNoteCook: she's not bad in the kitchen, but she has a hard time wrapping her mind around the idea of recipes that contain no alcohol in any form. (Pasta sauce: vodka. Potato soup: white wine. Brownies: coffee liqueur.)

* TheSmartGuy: she's the most book-smart person in the band proper, although this doesn't keep her out of trouble.
* StepfordSmiler: she's got a lot of issues relating to her family and her old band that she does her best not to think about. When they come up anyway, DrowningMySorrows tends to come into effect.
* TheUnfavorite

* {{Bifauxnen}}: the only one in the band with short hair, and was mistaken for a boy more than once before she got famous.

* BikerBabe
* BoisterousBruiser

* BoyishShortHair
* [[ButchLesbian Butch Pansexual]]
* CordonBleughChef: she's not as technically incompetent as Lilja, but her recipes tend to be excessively spicy even by most Southeast Asian standards.
* CuteLittleFangs: in-story, they're unusually prominent [[http://www.julieinjapan.com/2009/05/yaeba-cute-crooked-teeth-in-japan.html yaeba]]. Her immigrant entrepreneur family didn't have the money for cosmetic dentistry, and by the time she could afford to have them straightened they'd become part of her image.
* DarkIsNotEvil
* FagHag: more during her days in LA than now, given the lack of males of any orientation in the main cast.

* TheGadfly: particularly towards Violet, in an effort to test the boundaries of her usual niceness.
* HellBentForLeather
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* KnifeNut
* TheLadette
* NightmareFetishist: even more so than the rest of the band.

* YaoiFangirl: more specifically, {{Bara}} fangirl.

* AmbiguousDisorder: she's a bit of an odd duck even apart from being a GeniusDitz WeirdnessMagnet musical prodigy. This was actually one of the reasons for her aunt's overprotective behavior during her childhood.
* AuthorAvatar: not exactly, but she does have the most interests (marine biology, baking) and personality traits (vegetarianism, love of animals, odd sense of humor, highly-strung nervous system) in common with her creator.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: normally, she's a kind and cheerful young woman, but she can be a little emotionally volatile at times. Her bandmates have exaggerated this tendency and live in fear of Violet ''really'' losing her temper and bringing on TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.
* ChasteHero: she's the only band member who's still a virgin, and if she ''isn't'' oblivious to Yanang's occasional crude flirtation, she hasn't said anything.
** {{Asexuality}}

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: she has her moments, although it can be hard to tell how much of the weird stuff she says is an honest reflection of how she sees the world, and how much is her odd sense of humor at work.
* ContractualPurity: while she's not officially held to stricter standards of purity than the rest of Maenad - their manager tries to keep her away from hard drugs, but that's more out of pseudo-parental concern than a desire to preserve her image - some of her fanbase does hold her to exaggeratedly lofty standards of innocence for an adult woman in a decidedly non straight-edge rock band. She's been criticized as a Bad Role Model For Young Girls for doing things like wearing skirts shorter than school dress codes allowed and consuming alcohol in public when she was of legal drinking age.
* TheCutie: as much as someone in a band like Maenad can be, at least.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: she's fairly feminine compared with her bandmates (although more girlish than womanly) and shows the most interest in the culinary arts, although she concentrates more on sweets than on real meals.
* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals
* GranolaGirl: she's a vegetarian, loves animals, doesn't wear leather or fur, drinks a lot of herb tea, recycles her soda and vodka bottles, and enjoys walking around barefoot in warm weather. To Yanang, this makes her practically the AnthropomorphicPersonification of hippiedom.
** She does, in fact, eat a lot of granola, but that's mostly because she ''likes'' it and other kinds of sugary cereal don't react well with her weird metabolism.
* InnocentBlueEyes
* MinidressOfPower
* NotGoodWithPeople: a mild Type One for the most part, although she does have her moments of slight misanthropy.
* ParentalAbandonment: her parents died when she was young, and she's lived with her aunt and uncle ever since.
* SweetTooth: unfortunately, she suffers from mild low blood sugar on occasion so she can't overdo it.
* WomanChild: she wears barrettes, collects stuffed toys, and is the band's "younger sister" figure.

* CallToAgriculture: she eventually moved to a small organic farm in rural New England after leaving the band.
* IllGirl: why she left Maenad. She had health problems that were aggravated by the stress of touring.

* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette
* StraightMan

* ActionGirl: she's a trained martial artist. This comes in handy more often than you'd think in her line of work.
* AntiHero: probably a Type 4. She can be ruthless, but she needs provocation.
* BadassBookworm: or as the girls put it, "ninja librarian."
* BattleButler
* BrainyBrunette
* HypercompetentSidekick
* IronLady: mostly when dealing with other high-powered businesspeople, although she's not a pushover at any time.
* LadyOfWar: polite, dignified, and can kick your ass in a skirt and sensible pumps.
* MamaBear: do ''not'' threaten any Maenad member's life or long-term welfare. Artie will not be happy.
* {{Meganekko}}: although her personality is more in line with the StoicSpectacles stereotype, she does have a nerdy side as well, since she shows some familiarity with pre-fourth edition ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' and its alignment system.
* MustHaveCaffeine
* OnlySaneMan
* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: in a way, although it's oriented towards the impact people could have on Maenad and its members rather than their conduct toward Artemisia herself. Artemisia is fully conscious of this.
* RapunzelHair: she normally camouflages it with a conservative updo, but it reaches below her waist.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: slightly. Her eyes are distinctly reddish (although more maroon than true red) and she can be pretty ruthless, although she's not gratuitously evil.
* ScaryShinyGlasses: she can do a [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Gendo Ikari]] impression ''regardless of where she is in relation to the light sources in the room.'' Now that is a talent.
* StoicWoobie: she's been putting up with Maenad and the associated, sometimes life-threatening craziness for ''years.''
* StraightMan
* SugarAndIcePersonality: she's not one for showy displays of emotion, which she considers unprofessional and potentially dangerous, but she cares in her way.

* CoolBigSis: like Musa, is in the position of "older and more worldly, but not really maternal."
* CuteLittleFangs
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: she's the only character who can keep up with Musa in the ''Film/WithnailAndI'' DrinkingGame.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: the combination of very pale hair + bangs + trademark big sunglasses makes her look rather like an older, Asian Music/LadyGaga with a slightly more conservative fashion sense.
* RecordProducer
* SunglassesAtNight: she has enough issues with light sensitivity that she decided to just wear them all the time.
* SuperSenses: relatively mundane version - she has ears like a bat. [[DontExplainTheJoke In terms of capabilities, not]] [[{{Kemonomimi}} appearance.]]

* BioAugmentation: she acquired lab-grown prosthetic eyes (which she grew herself) at some point in the past.
* BollywoodNerd: she doesn't talk about her past much, but she seems to be South Asian, and she's definitely a science geek.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: she has a slight MadScientist streak, but it doesn't interfere with her work.
* DarkIsNotEvil: she's not a ''bad'' person at all, just a bit creepy and eccentric.
* DarkSkinnedBlond
* DefectorFromDecadence: she was rejected by her former colleagues for using her discoveries to do things like [[MundaneUtility create assistive technology for people with disabilities]] instead of making {{Super Soldier}}s.

* ChefOfIron
* FryingPanOfDoom
* TheQuietOne
* SupremeChef

* HollywoodCyborg: let's just say it's a good thing that Maenad's medical plan covers cybernetic prosthetics.
* IronButtmonkey: his employers' [[MalevolentArchitecture house has tried to eat him alive]] on more than one occasion, and yet he carries on.
* MauveShirt
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Ruby
* AmbiguouslyGay: Ruby
* BlindWithoutEm: Alejandro
* BrawnHilda: Ruby
* DarkActionGirl: Ruby
* GeekPhysiques: Carey is the skinny type
* GenkiGirl: Roxanne
* LovableNerd: Carey
* MauveShirt
* {{Meganekko}}: Layla
* NerdGlasses: Alejandro

* BunnyEarsLawyer: when her habit of murdering people is out of the picture, she's a perfectly competent therapist, and she does manage to help Maenad.

* CuteAndPsycho: she's very feminine and always minds her manners, when she isn't murdering people. Fortunately, she's managed to behave herself while working for the band.

* GoshDangItToHeck
* TheShrink: doesn't fit any of the usual stereotypes, since she's competent at her job, but has some fairly serious personal failings of her own.
* SouthernBelle: she never wears white before Easter, and you will pry her hairspray from her cold, dead hands.
* SweetHomeAlabama: she's ''very'' Southern in some ways (big on the hairspray and sweet tea), but open-minded enough to get along reasonably well with a multiethnic group of bisexual rock stars, even if she does think their fashion sense needs work.

* ContractualPuritu: while she's not officially held to stricter standards of purity than the rest of Maenad - their manager tries to keep her away from hard drugs, but that's more out of pseudo-parental concern than a desire to preserve her image - some of her fanbase does hold her to exaggeratedly lofty standards of innocence for an adult woman in a decidedly non straight-edge rock band. She's been criticized as a Bad Role Model For Young Girls for doing things like wearing skirts shorter than school dress codes allowed and consuming alcohol in public when she was of legal drinking age.

* {{Fiction 500}}: "according to the IRS, we officially have too much money."

* PrisonersOfPollyanna: while she's not officially held to stricter standards of purity than the rest of Maenad - their manager tries to keep her away from hard drugs, but that's more out of pseudo-parental concern than a desire to preserve her image - some of her fanbase does hold her to exaggeratedly lofty standards of innocence for an adult woman in a decidedly non straight-edge rock band. She's been criticized as a Bad Role Model For Young Girls for doing things like wearing skirts shorter than school dress codes allowed and consuming alcohol in public when she was of legal drinking age.
