3	Chastity is a comic book character created by writer Brian Pullido and artist Steven Hughes as a guest character in ''ComicBook/EvilErnie.'' She was originally published by Creator/ChaosComics and has since been sold to Creator/DynamiteEntertainment where she has had intermittent miniseries appearances. She has had crossovers with ''ComicBook/HackSlash'' and ''ComicBook/{{Vampirella}}.''
4
5	Chastity Marks is a young punk rock fan girl in the late 1970s who gets turned into a vampire during an attempt to get a job at a night club. Chastity proceeds to become a HunterOfTheirOwnKind and remains a FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire (unlike counterpart ComicBook/{{Purgatori}}). This doesn't prevent her from being a dark and brutal killer of her fellow undead, however.
6
7	While an iconic example of the BadGirlComic heroine, Chastity is notably a great deal more heroic than typical Chaos Comic heroines and actively attempts to protect the innocent. Many of the stories deal with her attempts to live a reasonably normal life and avoid the viciousness of her fellow vampires while retaining her rock and roll lifestyle.
8
9	She has an on again, off again romance with fellow vampire hunter [=MidKnight=] and was involved in a long term romance with Nob's frontman, Billy Zone.

16	* ActionGirl: Chastity is a vampire slaying vampire and a woman who kicks all sorts of ass.
17	* {{Antihero}}: Only by comic book standards as Chastity protects the innocent and prefers to kill monsters rather than humans but will do the latter if they're especially vile.
18	* BadGirlComic: A vampire punk/goth girl who worked as an assassin for a council of vampires to kill other vampires.
19	* BoyishShortHair: Chastity has shorter hair than most comic book women, usually keeping it in a bob.
20	* CartwrightCurse: Chastity has a history of getting involved with handsome heroic men that die horribly.
21	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Chastity went from being a typical BadGirlComic VillainProtagonist to the most heroic in Chaos Comics. She gets even more LighterAndSofter in Dynamite Entertainment.
22	* DavidVersusGoliath: Any battle between Purgatori and Chastity as the former is a demon goddess that has overthrown Lucifer several times while the other is an "ordinary" vampire teenager.
23	* DressedLikeADominatrix: Some of Chastity's outfits have elements of this with lots of tight leather and buckles.
24	* {{Expy}}: Chastity has a lot of similarities to Literature/SonjaBlue by Nancy A. Collins. This includes being a living vampire punk rock girl who hunts other vampires.
25	* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: Chastity is a protector of the innocent and does her best to avoid feeding on humans unless they're completely evil. This is a notable contrast to Purgatori, who is a full-on VillainProtagonist.
26	* GoodBadGirl: While dressing like any other Chaos Comics or Dynamite Entertainment heroine, she is one of the nicer and more heroic as well as less inclined to kill lovers.
27	* HunterOfTheirOwnKind: One of Chastity's primary foes is her fellow vampires. In the reboot, she works for the Cabal (see TheIlluminati entry) to destroy rogue monsters.
28	* MonsterMisogyny:
29	** Most of the villains that Chastity fights have a tendency to go after nubile young women and have sexist attitudes.
30	** In the reboot, she rescues a bunch of victims of human trafficking that are going to be fed to monsters.
31	* MsFanservice: The pages love detailing every detail of Chastity's MostCommonSuperpower and butt with Chastity's costume and SheFu.
32	* PerkyGoth: Chastity loves dark and spooky things as well as is a vampire. She's also cheerful and happy.
33	* RedheadsAreRavishing: Midknight really likes Chastity as do many other men (and women) in the comics.
34	* RiotGrrrl: A feminist heroine who absolutely punk rock and Goth music. She routinely beats up misogynists and still finds time to hang out in clubs in her black leather outfits with fishnets.
35	* {{Stripperiffic}}: Chastity's original costume accented her breasts and behind while not really loving much to the imagination.

39	* AbusiveParents: Chastity's father was abusive in the original Chaos comic books, driving her to run away.
40	* {{Archenemy}}: Chastity actually has this in Purgatori who killed her in the original timeline (she got better) and wants to either enslave her as a SexSlave or destroy her for good. Chastity just wants her dead.
41	* ChainmailBikini: Chastity's original outfit is a black bikini and bondage wear.
42	* HeelFaceTurn: This was especially pronounced in Chastity's case. While she remained a vampire assassin, in her first appearances she enjoyed killing innocents for fun. Later on, in her origin story, we find that she didn't even kill her abusive father; she only humiliated him to end his abuse of her and her mother, something uncharacteristic of the Chastity we see in her earliest appearances. In the first issue of the Evil Ernie ongoing series, she even says she won't kill innocents, making all this something more of a Retcon.
43	* MookHorrorShow: Chastity once got harassed by a group of bikers with, well, less than honorable intentions toward her virtue. She ends up slaughtering them all.
44	* StarCrossedLovers: Chastity is a vampire and Midnight is a vampire hunter. They're both hot for one another.

47	[[folder: Dynamite Entertainment (2014-Present)]]
48	* AbsoluteCleavage: Alyce Stonecliff wears a business suit with no undershirt or bra.
49	* AbusiveParents: The Dynamite reboot makes her mother a StageMom who wanted her to be an Olympic gymnast.
50	* AbortedArc: ''Chastity volume 2'' introduced a family of human trafficking werewolves called the Zoo. There was never a sequel to deal with them, though.
51	* CainAndAbel: Raymond, Chastity's little brother, becomes a vampire as well but he's not nearly as nice as she is.
52	* CareerEndingInjury: Chastity was a would-be Olympic gymnast when she broke her leg in a way that could never heal again (without vampirism).
53	* CrisisCrossover:
54	** ''Hack/Slash versus Chaos'' has Chastity try to stop Cassie Hack from destroying all undead or resurrected beings in the world.
55	** ''Red Sonja: Age of Chaos'' has Chastity team up with Red Sonja to prevent Kulan Gath's magic necklace from destroying the world.
56	* FeministFantasy: Chastity in ''Chastity volume 2'' leads a group of women against a bunch of human traffickers and turns them into half-vampires.
57	* LighterAndSofter: The Dynamite Entertainment reboot of the character is far less violent and nihilistic, even though Chastity remains largely unchanged herself.
58	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: In the Dynamite Reboot, Alyce Stonecliff is a stand-in for Stephanie Meyers. She's secretly a vampire.
59	* StageMom: Chastity's mother in the reboot was an Olympic figure skater who tried to turn her into one before switching to gymnastics.
