| Character | Nickname | Appearance | Bio/description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jess | Medieval |  | Double nick-named as the "Sunshine Goth," Jess is the sweet to Em's sour, and in the "Glass Half Full/Empty" theory, she's the "depends on if you just poured it" to Em's "depends on if you just drank it." She has certainly earned her Medieval title by her wide-spread knowledge and obvious preference to the middle-ages. Nevertheless, don't let her fool you... Her spunk, gumption, and mood swings have also added to her "wench-ish" ways, and at times, she can have a sharper tongue --and a sharper eye-- than the Angst Faery! |
| Em | Angst Fairy |  | As the Angst Faery, Em is the inspirer of all sarcastic and cynical things. She is not so much negative, rather, she likes to point out the ironic truth that everyone else is comfortably ignoring. In a way, she is the little voice of frustration we sometimes hear in our head when in a social dilemma. Though it may look as though she is the complete opposite from Jess, she is also the one to show just how similar the two really are. With the aid of Jess, she is out to face the social "real" world, not only to break the stereotypes, but also to find that there are some bonds you just can't break. |
| Josh | the Mumbler |  | There is a great mystery to the Mumbler: Why does he mumble? We fear that this question will never be answered, for not even Jess, Josh's girlfriend knows the answer to that. Josh is generally a pretty laid back guy... but that's not to hide the immense intelligence that will show up in later episodes. Through the few episodes he has appeared, we come to see that the Mumbler has quite an ego... and a big soft spot for Jess. |
| Fuzzy Monkey | the Almighty |  | The Almighty Fuzzy Monkey, though not often mentioned, unquestionably plays a big part in the world of Em and Jess. He is the good luck charm, the mythological god, the icon of power, and just plain fuzzy. Yes, it's true that there are many fuzzy monkey stickers out there just like him, but make no mistake! This is the true, authentic, Fuzzy Monkey! |
Minor characters
| Character | Nickname | Appearance | Bio/description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jerry |  | Jerry is the kind of guy that all the other guys like to hang out with, and the sensitive type that all girls are looking for. He ranges anywhere from "easy-going" to "dangerous with a dodge ball." Though we've only seen him twice and indirectly in the early episodes, it's not that hard to tell that this one's out and about for the fun of it. | |
| Charles | Fuzzy Gopher |  | Charles, codename "Fuzzy Gopher" (no one knows why) is a Jack of All Trades, and sports a number of very random personalities. Although his spastic tendencies tend to get him easily into situations that could quickly become humiliating, Charles has no trouble canceling out any possible embarrassment by his immense capacity for the sarcastic. With his wit, he just might prove to be Em's male counterpart on the mental level. |
| Eckler |  | Hmmmm. Looks like Eckler might get himself into another situation. This poor guy has suffered a curse of the Swiss Miss, been hit with a dodge ball, and zapped to ashes by the Fuzzy Monkey. And that's just the three episodes he's been in! Eckler really is a big softie, with just a string of bad luck. | |
| The Replacements |  | As graduation nears, Em comes to agree that it probably would be a good idea to go along with Jess' idea in finding their replacements for the school. In the search for the perfect replicas, Em and Jess luck out in finding the perfect accomplices to question the world and teenage society. Ace of Angst and Prince Medieval will not only serve as replacements, but they will encourage a new generation to carry on with Goth pride. | |
| Extras | I get my ideas for extras from class mates and acquaintances. And some of them, well, come from off the top of my head. Extras give me the chance to play a little with style, facial expressions, and fashion; they're great for testing out new ideas. Of course, these are just the extras that have made it to the episodes, there are plenty others stored away in notebooks, napkins, and paper scraps. |
