Girls Gone Goth

Some characters have gone Goth themselves,

even for a little while.

Lisa Simpson in "Smart and Smarter" (The Simpsons). When Lisa finds out that her baby sister, Maggie, has a higher IQ than her, she suffers from identity crisis. She tries out different character gimmicks, like cowgirl, soccer player, cheerleader, stand-up comedian, etc. Goth is her second choice, and calls herself Ravencrow Neversmiles. But Milhouse ruins it when he asks her to make out with him in the cemetery. He even mistakes her as an Oakland Raiders fan. "It's called Goth, eternally clueless one," replies Ravencrow.

.

Candace in "Flop Starz" (Phineas and Ferb). This only happens for a second because Candace is  trying out different outfits before going to a concert. Her bestfriend Stacey comments, "Too Goth." In the episode "Hail Doofania!", Candace and Goth girl Vanessa have their clothes switched in the dry cleaners. She finds it embarrassing when her supposed Goth phase goes viral. Jeremy sees her, and she panics, but then owns it anyway. In "The Curse of Candace", she believes she's turned into a vampire, so she visits the town's only Goth store, Whatever, hoping to find apparel that will protect her better from the sunlight. 

.

Alex in "Creepy Crawly Much?"(Totally Spies). In this episode, Alex is a bit down because her bestfriends, Sam and Clover, have their own boyfriends, while she's always ending up with weird guys. Until, she bumps into this somber Goth named Seth. Sam and Clover finds it too much when Alex's Goth boyfriend paints her room black, and Alex keeps speaking in bad Goth poetry. Alex drops the act when their villain, who's a half-insect king, chooses her to be his queen, because she embraces the darkness like cockroaches do.
.

Nebula in "Lights Out" (6teen). Her real name is Starr, Jude's girlfriend. Before she becomes a hard-core Goth, Starr is into skateboarding, veganism, yoga, poetry, and New Age. Come to think of it, some Goths are also into such things. Jude is totally shocked to find Starr turned into Nebula, “dark and fathomless”, since her eyes has been opened and seen the world, “It’s not pretty.” To cope with the sudden change, Jude also assumes a Goth persona and calls himself Judas. Though touched by this, Nebula feels they should stop dating.

.

Numbuh 3 in "C.A.R.A.M.E.L." (Kids Next Door). We've seen the happy-go-lucky Kuki turn to the dark side, like when she becomes the Grim Reaper's replacement in Billy and Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure. But in "Operation: Candies Are Really Altering Many Extraordinary Lives", Heinrich Von Marzipan, the infamous candy hunter, uses a sacred ancient ritual in creating the perfect golden caramels by sacrificing his victims' most valued quality. In Numbuh 3's case, it's her bubbly  personality, which even Heinrich finds too sweet. Once removed from her, what is left is a total glum girl.

.

Fluttershy in "Fake It 'Til You Make It" (My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic). The sweet, shy pony is in charge of Rarity's boutique while she is away. To deal with the intimidating customers, she puts on different personas, such as snooty, hipster and Goth. It is evident that the subculture is quite thriving in Equestria. Props to Fluttershy for emulating the dismal Goth, as she says to an Edward Scissorhands colt, "It's not that the futility of shopping can be made better with black leather and metal studs, but they can help." Yet, she takes her character too far, and drives out the others with a Gother-than-thou attitude.
.

Princess Jasmine in "Forget Me Lots" (Aladdin the Animated Series). Forgetting about their anniversary, Aladdin rushes for a gift, and unknowingly gives Jasmine the Blue Rose of Forgetfulness. Confused, the amnesiac princess runs away, and comes across the villain, Abis Mal. He convinces her she is his daughter, and they are there to take over the palace. Jasmine then dubs herself "the blackest, most twisted heart in Agrabah: the Scourge of the Desert." She wields a bullwhip and an Arabian sword, and her pet tiger, Raj, still serves her.

.

Kimiko in "The Return of the Pandabubba" (Xiaolin Showdown). Of all the various stylish outfits Kimiko wears in every episode, only this one has I found to be close to Goth. And Kimiko even wallows and cries here, because her father is turned into a zombie by Pandabubba using the Zing-Zom Bone. It is indeed a dark episode, with all the zombies and the Shroud of Shadows, since the style is a nod to retro horror movies. 

.

Yin in "Gone-A-Fowl" (Yin Yang Yo!). Yin is forced to be Coop's girlfriend for the day. She finds out that, when aggravated, he can become extremely evil, zapping chaos and darkness (even onto clothing). And yet, in his evil phase, he becomes extremely attractive. Yin finds this as a problem; he can't be hot, at the same time, good. Coop's solution is to turn Yin evil and Goth! They become an evil power couple called Yoop, and decide to be Night Masters for the Dark Tomorrow. Yang finds evil Yin, or as she calls herself, Eve, impossible to defeat. "C'mon, sis, you don't want to be evil." Yin's reply: You get to wear black.
.

Daphne Blake in "In Fear of the Phantom" (Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated). The Hex Girls are back and with whole new looks. But a phantom is attempting to cancel their concert. Fred becomes more obsessed with setting his traps, leaving Daphne frustrated with her unrequited feelings for him. He even asks her to dangerously disguise as Thorn. After that fiasco, Daphne agrees to sing onstage as Crush, and expresses her angst through the song "Trap of Love", as so Freddy would finally notice and understand her. Personally, I think they could have designed her a better Goth outfit.
.

CJ in "Real Date" (Regular Show). Mordecai first meets CJ through an online dating site called Couple Corral. During their real date, Matchmaker McIntyre tries to ruin their relationship because, with the increase of happy couples, no one is using Couple Corral anymore, thus losing his business. He shows Mordecai photos of CJ with different hairstyles and says "How do you expect her to be committed to you when she can't even commit to a hairstyle?" Well, she is a cloud (who can also turn into a storm). Here it is revealed CJ had a Goth phase.
.

Sharon Spitz in "The Doctor is In" (Braceface). Sharon gets jealous when her mean girl, Nina Harper, starts going to her mom's therapy sessions. She becomes mad at her mom for not caring for the things she cares about, like going to the Vice Grip concert. Sharon then thinks her problems are not big enough, so she tries to become a Goth (apparently she thinks that's a big issue when it happens to a child). Her gifted little brother then starts playing ominous music on the piano. Yet, their mom thinks it's only a theater arts project.
.

Vicky (Vexus) in "Queen Bee" (My Life as a Teenage Robot). Technically, she has gone human Goth girl. Vexus is a cruel alien robot queen who's bent to conquer Earth. The Crust Sisters, the popular mean girls at school,  teach her the correct teen slang and fashion, as part of their plan to destroy XJ9. Like Brit and Tiff, she changes her stylish clothes daily. One is this Gothic ensemble. But she becomes more popular and powerful than the Crust Sisters. The two then have to team up with Jenny so they won't become social outcasts.
.

Stella in "Exchange Students" (Winx Club). Stella, the most fashionable of the fairies, has gone Goth, too. Well, only in her imagination. When the Winx hears the news that they're going to Cloud Tower and work with the witches, Stella imagines her self in different Goth witch outfits. But she doesn't like the idea very much.  Also in this episode, Mirta has a major role as she accompanies the Winx Club in her former school. More of Stella's Goth outfits are in this site.
.

Katty in "Bunnie's Love" (Harry & Bunnie). She is a cute, little pink cat who catches everyone's affection in their school for magicians. When she sneezes, Katty magically turns into a tall, mean Goth kitty, and attacks her would-be suitors. But when she sneezes in front of Bunnie, she doesn't change, meaning he is her destined love. When I first saw these non-dialogue, slapstick shorts, I mistakenly thought their classmate, Mandy Gaga, was a Goth.
.

Helen Lovejoy in "Sky Police" (The Simpsons). When Chief Wiggum's jet pack crashes into  the church, the congregation resorts to gambling in order to pay for repairs. On their second trip to the casino, Apu advises them to wear disguises. Reverend Lovejoy and his wife Helen choose to dress as adult Goths, rarely portrayed on screen. It is later revealed that they use their Goth identities for romantic foreplay. "Oh Asphodel! Your corpse bride is getting cold," meows Belladonna.
.

Betty and Veronica in "She's Goth to Have It" (Archie Comics). Of all the thousands of comics, this is the only one that features the Goth culture. 

At first, Betty feels ignored by her friends and meets two Goth girls in a new coffee shop. She adapts their Goth style to get attention from her friends but she realizes she was just ignoring them, like what they did to her. In the end, Veronica, Archie and Reggie have gone Goth themselves to get Betty's attention.
