History Main / PerkyFemaleMinion

* [[GravityMaster Greta Gravity]] from {{Spinnerette}}. [[MostCommonSuperpower Perky]] in more ways than one.

* Minidomo, assistant to Majordomo(who is Mojo's assistant himself) in [[XMen X-Men]]. She's so genki she hyperventilates and passes out.

* Harley Quinn was originally a psychiatrist to TheJoker, but wound up [[MadLove falling in love with him]] and helping him in his crimes. She's an unrepentant murderer, but so cheerful and so absolutely devoted to "Mr. J" that one can't help but pity her when he slaps her around and / or threatens to kill her.

* As of ''MortalKombat9'', Mileena counts. Her pre-match quote and some other lines display a childlike enthusiasm for violence. One of the challenge tower missions involves her attempts to force [[AntiHero Scorpion]] to accept a teddy bear that she made for him. She's still psychopathically AxeCrazy though.

** Note that all of these Lieutenants are good guys, but they all seem just too adorable to be powerful hollow-slaying warriors. The real PerkyFemaleMinion in ''{{Bleach}}'' is Nell, [[spoiler: though by the time she's ''really'' perky and upbeat, she's not a minion anymore.]]
** Stark's Fraccion, Lilinette fits the bill quite well...

* In ''PokemonSpecial'', Mars jumps up and down with joy and gets childishly excited at the thought of blowing up one of Sinnoh's lakes.

A good way of applying the humor of the {{Unfunny}} to villains is by pairing them with the AlwaysFemale PerkyFemaleMinion. This character is something like the DistaffCounterpart[=/=]{{Foil}} to the EnigmaticMinion; they can range in psyche from PunchClockVillain to [[{{Yangire}} fairly psychotic]], but have an upbeat, GenkiGirl personality in sharp contrast to the villain they serve who will be gloomy, AxCrazy, etc. If the female minion has a crush on the other villain, it will generally be of the MadLove variety, although this affection isn't a requirement.

...and no. [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean Not (necessarily) perky in]] ''[[MostCommonSuperpower that]]'' [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean way]]. [[YouBastard Get your heads out of the gutter.]]

* Harmony in ''{{Buffy the Vampire Slayer}}'' is initially this to Spike.

* Although most of the "leaders" in ''TouhouProject'' are fairly "perky" goofballs of CrazyAwesome calibur who have StraightArrow {{Battle Butler}}s dedicated to cleaning up the messes they create, the more deadpan characters, like Satori, have GenkiGirl "pets" or "minions" like Okuu and Orin.

* As an inversion, Beth Vandelinder of ''SurvivalOfTheFittest'' was rather perky and upbeat...until ''[[RapeAsDrama She]] [[http://s10.zetaboards.com/SOTF_V2/topic/602526/1/ Bop]]'', where she became [[VillainSue Melina Frost's]] minion.

-> - ''[[AvatarTheLastAirbender Ty Lee]] letting her AxCrazy boss know how she's doing''

** Played straight on the oter hand with Rip van Winkle, who is surprisingly [[CloudCuckoolander airheaded]] and [[GenkiGirl cheerful]] for a member of a nazi batallion, in direct contrast to Zorin, who is [[PsychoForHire anything]] [[CompleteMonster but]] [[DarkChick this]].

* Lash in ''AdvanceWars'', sans crush and not always working alongside a superior officer, though.

* The bubbly Ty Lee of ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'', created specifically to serve as comedic foil to both [[EmoTeen Mai]] and [[TheChessmaster Azula]]. [[http://www.sollicitus-somnium.com/images/avatar/avatar_03x05_001.jpg Guess which one she is?]]
