| 5 | '''Tropes that The Vampire Cheerleaders have in common:''' |
| 6 | * AllGuysWantCheerleaders: Typical of most highschool settings, the cheerleaders are considered the hottest girls at Bakerstown High. Though, obviously, it's largely attributed to them also being vampires. |
| 7 | * AllWomenAreLustful: They're all sexually active, with Suki being [[LovableSexManiac the horniest one of the bunch]], and they have no shortage of willing partners because of the preceding trope. |
| 8 | * [[DaywalkingVampire Daywalking Vampires]]: So long as Lori and her coven [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/lori_puts_on_sunscreen apply their sunscreen]], they can attend classes like normal students. They're even [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/one_great_tan_later regulars at the local tanning salon.]] |
| 9 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: While the vampire cheerleaders are undoubtedly self-centered, petty, and occasionally cruel, they adhere to a strict set of rules in regards to feeding. Anyone who violates them, will find themselves [[YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry having a word with Lori.]] |
| 10 | ** Its mostly PragmaticVillainy type of standards, but applies even to seemingly minor things like [[spoiler:not being unnecessarily mean to [[HappinessInSlavery Leonard]].]] |
| 11 | * GraduateFromTheStory: At the start of vol.4, Lori, Zoe, and Leslie, have all graduated and enrolled in college, though they each make a brief appearances when Leonard and co. end up in the distant future. Suki is the only senior on the team, who flunked and had to repeat the grade, [[spoiler: because the readers liked her]]. |
| 12 | * ImmortalImmaturity: Justified as Lori's the only one who's been a vampire for more than a couple of years. |
| 13 | * [[TheVamp The Vamps]]: Duh! |
| 14 | * HeroicComedicSociopath[=/=]SociopathicHero[=/=]VillainProtagonist: Saying they're divisive would be an understatement (see [[YMMV/VampireCheerleaders Broken Base]]), you're either gonna love 'em, or you'll find yourself rooting for the ''WebComic/ParanormalMysterySquad'' to stake 'em all. |
| 15 | * VaporWear: Comes with the uniform. |
| 16 | * VillainBall: After being freed of Lori's mind control, Leonard briefly joined PMS to take her and the others down. Given that he [[ImAManICantHelpIt had no problem]] with [[SecretKeeper keeping their identities secret]], until they [[KickTheDog made him their thrall]], they had no one to blame but themselves. Yet, Lori reacted as if ''[[NeverMyFault her]]'' [[RefugeInAudacity trust]] had been betrayed. |
| 17 | * WithFriendsLikeThese: You'd think being surrounded by a group of hot cheerleaders would be a guy's dream come true. Not with ''[[CruelCheerleader these girls.]]'' |
| 18 | |
| 19 | !!Heather Hartley |
| 20 | [[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vc-heather_3062.jpg]] |
| 21 | '''Associated tropes:''' |
| 22 | * AbusiveParents: {{Subverted}}. While Heather's parents did seem to be strict with her, there's no evidence of actual abuse by either of them. They were only shown being upset because Heather had stayed out past her curfew, without at least calling them to let them know where she was. |
| 23 | * AllLoveIsUnrequited: [[WordOfGod According to Adam]], while she's aware of Leonard's feelings for her, [[http://www.pixietrixcomix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=498529#p498529 she's friend-zoned him for life.]] |
| 24 | * BigNo: Her reaction when she [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/spirit_staked thought Stephanie was about to kill Lori.]] |
| 25 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: Hoo boy. See the JumpedOffTheSlipperySlope entry. |
| 26 | * CorruptTheCutie: Mostly all of volume one as she discovers more of her powers. Vol 2 sees her rein it in a bit, probably out out penance [[spoiler:costing her school the big game]]. |
| 27 | * DemotedToExtra: Starting in vol.4, due to Michael Schelfer's [[CreatorBacklash contempt for her character.]] So she was given a bit part and was [[PutOnABus effectively written out]], shortly after the opening strips of the final arc. |
| 28 | * EasilyForgiven: |
| 29 | ** Shortly after acquiring her power, she fed on her school's entire football team, leaving them too weak to play in the big game. So Suki covered it up for her by making it seem as if [[spoiler: the guys had gotten so smashed that [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/deep_deep_trouble_5 they'd had sex with each other]]]]. Afterward, they drained the opposing team so they'd be on equal ground. Once the deed was done, Lori let Heather off the hook. |
| 30 | ** Leonard didn't hold being enthralled by Lori against Heather either. In his own words: "You do what you have to for a little BC", adding that he "kinda enjoyed it" (aside from being stuffed in the trunk). |
| 31 | * EvilFeelsGood: She certainly [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/meet_the_parents_9 thought so.]] At least, until she and the others were finally exposed as vampires and had to answer for it. |
| 32 | * JumpedAtTheCall: Fans originally thought Heather had been turned against her will, only for her to later reveal she'd been given a choice, [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/i_had_a_choice which she accepted.]] Which Adam confirmed by saying there was a block of time missing from Heather's initiation, because he wanted to leave it ambiguous so the readers could [[http://www.pixietrixcomix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=458333#p458333 draw their own conclusion.]] It was [[http://www.pixietrixcomix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=458289#p458289 poorly received by the readers]], who called bullshit, since it seemed like an attempt to paint the cheerleaders in a better light. |
| 33 | * JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Did she ever. After being turned, her first order of business was to [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/meet_the_parents_3 turn on her parents]] and, under Lori's instruction, [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/meet_the_parents_8 turned them into her thralls.]] Then ordered them to make her a baby sister. From that point onwards, they were reduced to being [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/money_bags her mindless slaves.]] |
| 34 | * LegacyCharacter: She was promoted to captain of the Bakertown Bats, after Lori's graduation (vol.4), coinciding with her effectively being written out of the plot. |
| 35 | * OhCrap: When Zoe explains what "Plan BC" stands for, a super-deformed Heather is shown with a horrified expression. She still goes through with it, as she is naked on the next page. |
| 36 | * PetTheDog: Seen near the end of vol.4 when she [[spoiler: [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/the_power_of_three_times_three finally apologizes]] for the way she and the others treated Leonard, and asks Charlotte to convey it to him, since she couldn't travel across time with her, to tell him herself]]. |
| 37 | * PureIsNotGood: To say she's [[InformedAttribute supposed to be innocent and naive]], she took to being a vampire surprisingly well and had no qualms about misusing her parents, after making them her thralls. |
| 38 | * PutOnABus: Heather only appears in the opening five strips of the comic's final arc. Her last and only other appearance wasn't until near the end, where she asks Charlotte to [[spoiler: apologize to Leonard]] for her. She's absent [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/the_thurston_family_name from Lori's rally]][[note]]which was a major event, where Lori bestowed the "Thurston" family name on all members of her progeny. The only members of A-squad ''not'' present were Heather and Suki, the latter of whom was time jumping across space-time. No explanation is given for Heather, though it's possible that she may have been in attendance and simply not shown.[[/note]] and the reunion scene at the end. |
| 39 | * TranshumanTreachery: Though she is chided twice for being bloodthirsty, she still has a soft spot for Leonard, which is why she was slightly horrified upon seeing Leonard stuck in the trunk of Lori's car, having been reduced to being her thrall. While Heather thought Lori had gone a bit too far, she didn't push the issue with her. |
| 40 | * YouAreInCommandNow: By vol.4, she's become the new captain of the Bakertown High cheerleading team, after Lori and the others have graduated. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | !!Lori [[spoiler: (Originally Lorna)]] Thurston |
| 43 | [[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vc-lori_7299.jpg]] |
| 44 | '''Associated tropes:''' |
| 45 | |
| 46 | * AlphaBitch: At the start of the series, she's a textbook example of [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/practice_4 the stereotyical blonde cheerleader]]: hot, popular, self-centered, petty, manipulative, etc. With the added perk of being supernaturally empowered. |
| 47 | ** LovableAlphaBitch: To the members of her squad and most of the school; not so much when it comes to humans, with the lone exception of Leonard. [[WithFriendsLikeThese Sort of.]] |
| 48 | * CharacterDevelopment: She begins the series as a stereotypical blonde [[AlphaBitch cheerleader]], but through a chain of events involving [[spoiler: a StableTimeLoop]], she eventually matures into [[spoiler: [[TheCaptain the admiral]] of an entire space fleet and becomes a close friend of her former enemy: Stephanie Kane]]. |
| 49 | * CompulsorySchoolAge: Subverted. She has been returning to school every 20 years or so since [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/memory_lane at least 1892]] of her own volition, apparently in a quest for the perfect senior year. |
| 50 | * FireForgedFriends: With [[spoiler: Stephanie]] by the end of vol.4, when she and her [[spoiler: [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/admiral_and_commander space fleet]]]] comes to her aid against the [[spoiler: Reptilians]]. In the comic's final scene, they're shown having breakfast together, [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/my_vampire_niece as good friends.]] |
| 51 | * IllKillYou: Lori became so angry, that [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/deep_deep_trouble_2 she nearly staked Heather]] [[spoiler: with [[UsefulNotes/{{Wii}} a Wii-mote]]]], for draining their school's entire football team the night before the homecoming game. Leslie and Suki managed to [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/deep_deep_trouble_4 talk her out of it]], by coming up with a plan to cover up the incident, then drained the opposing team's players to level the playing field. |
| 52 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: I'm pretty sure [[spoiler: Creator/{{Nintendo}}]] didn't design the [[spoiler: Wii-mote]] for staking vampires, Lori. |
| 53 | * AMotherToHerMen: She regards the members of A-squad [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/practice_8 as family]] and made it official during a flashback in vol.4, when she held a rally to proclaim them as her progeny and bestowed the Thurston family name upon them. |
| 54 | * NoNonsenseNemesis: When threatened, Lori doesn't believe in wasting time, or pulling punches. |
| 55 | ** First seen when she went [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/half-time_5 straight for Leonard's jugular]] when he planned to out her coven as vampires. |
| 56 | ** Bianca raped and tortured Lori for three days. It was a mistake [[KarmicDeath she didn't live to regret.]] |
| 57 | ** She nearly did the same thing to Char, [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/once_bitten by tearing her carotid artery open]], dropped J.C. [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/twice_shy to keep him from saving her.]] Then moved on to Steph and disabled her [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/just_a_flesh_wound by breaking her sword arm]] and [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/there_can_be_only_one bit her as well]], not caring that Steph had taken garlic. Fortunately for PMS, Steph was able to turn the tables on her. |
| 58 | * OlderThanTheyLook: [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/memory_lane Her collection of high school tassels]] contains two '92s. That means one of them must be from 1892, meaning that she's approximately 138 years old assuming she was 18 at the time of being bitten. |
| 59 | * RapeAsDrama: She ends up being captured after attempting to seduce Bianca Harrow so she could feed on her, not knowing she was a gorgon until Bianca paralyzed Lori with her stare. Then spent the next three days [[EatenAlive feeding on Lori]] and repeatedly raping her. |
| 60 | ** RapeAndRevenge: But the moment Lori was freed, [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/lori_vs_bianca_1 she pounced Bianca]] and snapped her neck, [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/lori_vs_bianca_4 killing her instantly.]] |
| 61 | * RefugeInAudacity: So Lori... [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/the_fate_of_leonard you turned Leonard into a thrall]], despite the fact that he agreed to keep your identities safe, generally treated him like crap; including habitually stuffing him in the trunk of your car and [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/lputty_in_our_hands working him like a slave]]... yet ''you'' were upset [[TheDogBitesBack once he was freed and turned on you?]] Really? |
| 62 | * VampireMonarch: The Bakertown Bats cheerleadering squad are her coven and she ensures they keep their vampire activity to a minimum so as not to attract hunters. |
| 63 | * YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry; Heather and Bianca Harrow each learned, firsthand, why it isn't a good idea to piss off Lori. The former nearly got staked for it (with a [[spoiler: Wii-mote]]), the latter wound up dead, after Lori snapped her neck. And she all but single-handedly curbstomped the PMS crew for ruining her "perfect senior year" by exposing her and her coven at her prom. |
| 64 | |
| 65 | !!Zoe Weller |
| 66 | [[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vc-zoe_7244.jpg]] |
| 67 | '''Associated tropes:''' |
| 68 | * AllLoveIsUnrequited: See the IncompatibleOrientation entry. |
| 69 | * AmicableExes: With [[spoiler: Lesley]], during the latter half of vol.4. Katie assumed they were married, since they had both taken the surname, "Thurston". But they offhandedly replied that they'd already [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/the_thurston_family_name "been there and done that,"]] 'til [[spoiler: Lesley]] realized she still liked guys too much. So they divorced and went back to being friends. |
| 70 | * CloudCuckoolandersMinder: Somebody's gotta keep tabs on Suki, or there's no telling [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/putty_in_our_hands what craziness she might get up to.]] Nine times outta ten, Zoe's the one who gets stuck with the job. |
| 71 | * DopeSlap: Just about anytime Suki says, or does, something stupid that could possibly blow their cover as vampires. Except instead of a whap on the noggin, Zoe flat-out bitch [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/never_leave_suki_alone slaps her]], or slugs her. |
| 72 | * GladToBeAliveSex: Zoe is so overcome with emotion at seeing Suki was alive, that she [[ReunionKiss lays one on her]] then tackles her to the ground and [[spoiler: humps her leg in front of everybody at the amusement park]]. |
| 73 | ** ImmodestOrgasm: Zoe gets so into it, that she [[spoiler: [[MarshmallowHell shoves Suki's face in her boobs]] and keeps going 'til she achieves the big "O"]]! |
| 74 | * IncompatibleOrientation: Though she vehemently denies it, vol.4 confirmed she's got the hots for Suki. However, the feeling isn't mutual since Suki is straight and [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/so_good_to_see_you was put-off by Zoe kissing her.]] And moreso after Zoe [[spoiler: humped her leg]]. |
| 75 | * JizzedInMyPants: She was so horny, that she didn't bother undressing. So when she [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/big_finish_zoe finally got herself off]], she soaked her employee uniform's hot pants. |
| 76 | * TheLancer: Possibly, when Lori disappears, she fills in the role of squad leader quite well. |
| 77 | * [[HomoeroticSubtext Les Yay Subtext]]: At least, it ''was'' subtext, 'til she [[ReunionKiss kissed Suki]] and [[spoiler: [[GladToBeAliveSex humped her leg]]]] immediately afterwards. |
| 78 | * LovelyAngels: In Vol.4, she and Lesley wear Kei and Yuri's [=3WA=] uniforms from ''[[Literature/DirtyPair The Dirty Pair]]''. |
| 79 | * OhCrap: During the ''"Adventures in Space... and Time?!"'' arc, she and Lesley initially mistake Katie for one of the park employees and compliment her on her likeness... until Leonard tells them it's ''really her''. [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/purely_coincidental They nearly shit themselves.]] |
| 80 | * ReunionKiss: With Suki, after reuniting with her, during the ''Adventures in Space... and Time?!'' arc. She [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/galaxy_speedy_rocket_remix runs over]] and [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/zoe_x_suki lays one on her.]] |
| 81 | * SassyBlackWoman: She seems to be off to a good start. |
| 82 | * ThisCannotBe: Sums up Zoe's reaction when [[spoiler: Suki gets killed, right in front of her.]] See the: [[spoiler: DeaderThanDead]] entry in her section, below. |
| 83 | |
| 84 | !!Lesley Chandra |
| 85 | [[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vc-leslie_2289.jpg]] |
| 86 | '''Associated tropes:''' |
| 87 | |
| 88 | * AmicableExes: With [[spoiler: Zoe]], during the latter half of vol.4. |
| 89 | * BitCharacter: Compared to the rest of the cheerleaders and the cast, in general. |
| 90 | * FlatCharacter: She was given the least amount of characterization and focus among the cheerleaders. |
| 91 | * GetARoom: Said word-for-word, while watching [[spoiler: Zoe hump Suki's leg, in front of everyone at the amusement park]]. |
| 92 | * IfItsYouItsOkay: She's straight, but during the ''"Adventures in Space... and Time?!"'' arc, she offhandedly mentions having been married to [[spoiler: Zoe]]. But they divorced because Lesley still liked guys too much. |
| 93 | * IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: She pulled this on the training club manager in vol.2 as part of a bribe [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/game_for_anything to steal the Ainley team's timeslot.]] Then added "plan BC" to sweeten the deal. [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/a_better_offer It worked.]] |
| 94 | * LovelyAngels: In Vol.4, she and Zoe wear Kei and Yuri's [=3WA=] uniforms, from ''[[Literature/DirtyPair The Dirty Pair]]''. |
| 95 | * MarshmallowHell: As seen in the IHaveBoobsYouMustObey entry. |
| 96 | * OhCrap: Already covered in Zoe's examples section. |
| 97 | * OnlySaneWoman: Is the team's ameliorating influence. |
| 98 | |
| 99 | !!Suki Taft |
| 100 | [[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vc-suki_2014.jpg]] |
| 101 | '''Associated tropes:''' |
| 102 | * AllWomenAreLustful: Suki has a raging libido, so it doesn't take much to get her aroused. And she'll bang [[spoiler: Leonard]] at the drop of a dime if she's horny, which she nearly did twice while they were in Lemuria. |
| 103 | * AsianAirhead: Taken to its logical conclusion at the start of vol.4, when she ends up being the only one of the seniors to flunk and have to repeat the grade. Truthfully, [[spoiler: it was an excuse to keep her in the story, because [[EnsembleDarkhorse she's popular with the readers]]]]. |
| 104 | * BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/suki_comes_floating_in She manages]] to get to the space craft Leonard and Katie are on, although nude. And the craft is ''above the Earth'' when she does. |
| 105 | * BoyishShortHair: Yep, and you know [[OneOfTheBoys what that means.]] |
| 106 | * CloudCuckooLander: She isn't stupid, so much as eccentric and very easily distracted. Such as attempting to climb the lion statue outside the casino in Las Vegas, or thinking she could spot Lori by bungie jumping while they were searching for her. Or... look, suffice to say, [[TheDitz she ain't all there.]] |
| 107 | %%* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette |
| 108 | * ExcuseMeWhileIMultitask: She got her own [[Awesome/VampireCheerleaders crowning moment]], during the battle with the PMS, by casually dodging multiple attacks from Katie and Charlotte, ''without even looking'', all [[CasualDangerDialogue while having light conversation with Zoe!]] |
| 109 | * FriendsWithBenefits: By vol.4, she's officially become Leonard's [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/hey_frell_buddy "VWB"]], which gets lampshaded by Katie and Suki, herself. Not that she wasn't already banging him before then. |
| 110 | * HeroicBSOD: Has one seeing Delenn'us, in which she remembers Cressida Harrow eating her liver again and again (it continually regenerated, making Suki a "renewable resource"). Giving Cressida's threat to make Suki into a "Suki-yaki" HarsherInHindsight. |
| 111 | ** ShutUpKiss: Leonard gives Suki one to snap her out of it, which she gladly returns; prompting Empress Delenn'us to jovially request [[Film/WhenHarryMetSally the same thing Suki was having.]] |
| 112 | * IncompatibleOrientation: Despite all the jokes and speculation about her and Zoe, earlier in the comic, vol.4 revealed the attraction was one-sided on Zoe's end, since Suki is straight. |
| 113 | * {{Jerkass}}: She's [[DeadpanSnarker quick at the lip]] (even where Lori's concerned), and just as quick to [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/practice_6 pick a fight]] if someone ticks her off. But she [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold isn't as bad as she first seems.]] |
| 114 | * LovableSexManiac: She has a raging libido and is the most sexually active member of the Bakertown Bats™. |
| 115 | ** Suki was the one most interested in [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/a_better_offer giving Leonard another go 'round]], during the time he was a thrall and often had him massage [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/still_alive her feet.]] By vol.4, she openly refers to him as [[FriendsWithBenefits her "frell buddy"]] and even bangs him while they're at the Lemurian hotsprings. |
| 116 | ** Also, leaving Suki alone with ''[[TemptingFate male guards]]'' to supervise her [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/quick_snack is never a good idea.]] |
| 117 | ** When Katie complained about them having sex, in front of her, Suki reminded her that she had offered to [[ThreewaySex let her join in.]] But seeing that she was reluctant, Suki offered to let her use "Kitty-chan" instead. Katie replied, "maybe later". |
| 118 | ** After she and the others finally find Stephanie and see she's in bed with [[spoiler: a mothman, with several others waiting their turn]], Suki whips out "Kitty-chan" and asks if there's room for one more. |
| 119 | * MsFanservice: As seen in the footnotes for [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/space_suki_taft_design this concept sketch]], every aspect of her design in the ''"Adventures in Space... and Time?!"'' arc was meant to deliberately invoke this. |
| 120 | ** ShamelessFanserviceGirl: In addition to sleeping without underwear, she spends nearly half of the first segment of vol.4 stark naked and didn't mind others seeing her. And touched herself while taunting Katie (in the DoubleEntendre example). |
| 121 | ** She even had sex with Leonard while Katie was present and could ''[[ImmodestOrgasm hear them.]]'' When Katie complained afterward, Suki reminded her that [[ThreewaySex she could've joined in.]] |
| 122 | * MyOwnGrampa: [[spoiler:She was sired by Lori, and yet somehow managed to be the one to sire Lori via TimeTravel]]. |
| 123 | * OffscreenVillainy: In chapter 1, she gets into an argument with Zoe, where she [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/practice_6 brags about having screwed her boyfriend]], [[OutWithABang before killing him.]] |
| 124 | * OneOfTheBoys: Suki doesn't concern herself much with her looks; much less, feminine modesty. Instead, she's the rowdy, foulmouthed, member of the bunch and [[AllWomenAreLustful the one most interested in sex.]] |
| 125 | * ShoutOut: Apparently, she's a fan of ''Series/LazyTown''. |
| 126 | ** [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/space_madness Here]], she's shown singing ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3-czNbCqbM "Cooking by the Book".]]'' |
| 127 | ** And, [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/cheer_cheer_coup_detat here]], she's singing ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzcKN6tujtE "Galaxy"]]'' while playing a game of ''Cheer Cheer! Coup [=DeTat=]''. Which, itself, seems to be a shout out to both ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution'' and ''VideoGame/KaraokeRevolution''. |
| 128 | * TooDumbToLive: In Vol 2 when the snooty rivals manage to outwit the squad in retaliation for taking their training time, she suggest biting and turning them. Zoe has to remind her that would unleash a squad of unrestrained vampires loose in the building, exposing themselves in the process. |

| 131 | [[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vc-leo_6606.jpg]] |
| 132 | '''Associated tropes:''' |
| 133 | * BadassLongcoat: {{Subverted}}. When he showed up in a black duster and shades to confront the cheerleaders, they [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/half-time_3 didn't take him seriously]] because of [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/half-time_1 how ridiculous he looked.]] |
| 134 | * BetterAsFriends: On the comic's Q&A section, [[WordOfGod Adam states]] that while Heather is aware of Leonard's feelings toward her, [[http://www.pixietrixcomix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=498529#p498529 he's been friend-zoned for life.]] And goes on to say that Suki [[FriendsWithBenefits has made the most of the situation.]] |
| 135 | * ButtMonkey: He starts off as [[HeroicWannabe a wannabe vampire hunter]], but, for most of Vol.2, he ends up being [[TheRenfield a thrall]] instead. [[spoiler: Stephanie, Katie, and Char eventually snap him out of it.]] |
| 136 | * CrazyPrepared: |
| 137 | ** [[spoiler: Up till Plan BC]], he was actully doing pretty good against the girls. Even having chugged Listerine and gorged himself on garlic event they tried to bite him. [[spoiler: Lori tried. It didn't work out well for her.]] |
| 138 | ** Once he's become this [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/leonard_comes_prepared again]] he's intending to take on Cressida Harrow--with [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/dont_lose_your_head some]] [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/the_party_crashers unlikely help]]. |
| 139 | * DidNotGetTheGirl: He got to bang Heather as part of Plan "BC," but she only went along with it because it was Lori's idea. It didn't change [[JustFriends how she felt about Leonard]] any. |
| 140 | * DraggedIntoDrag: Done in vol.2, after Lori went missing. Since the deadline for the cheerleading competition was drawing near, Heather made Leonard fill in for Lori's part of their routine. |
| 141 | * EndearinglyDorky: Leonard's self-aware enough to know he's a nerd, like the time he geeked out when he realized he was in the PMS crew's headquarters. |
| 142 | * EveryManHasHisPrice: ...and for Leonard, [[AManIsAlwaysEager it's sex.]] All it took to buy his silence about A-Squad being vampires, was for Lori and her girls to spread 'em for him. |
| 143 | * FriendsWithBenefits: With [[spoiler: Suki]] as of vol.4 (see the related entry in her section). |
| 144 | * HeroAntagonist: At least, he ''was'' right up until the girls pulled Plan "BC" on him. By morning, he was cool with keeping their secret. After the ''WebComic/ParanormalMysterySquad'' girls put on their "nerd burlesque" for him, he briefly resumed his prior role. But as of vol.4, he's now on good terms with the cheerleaders, to where he and [[spoiler: Suki]] have become FriendsWithBenefits. |
| 145 | * JizzedInMyPants: As a result of seeing Katie hula dancing in a [[ChainmailBikini Slave]] [[Franchise/StarWars Leia]] costume, during the aforementioned "nerd burlesque" show. Which she couldn't help noticing, while he was passed out on the floor: |
| 146 | -->'''Katie: (smiling)''' "Still, there's definitely something going on in his pants. [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/take_it_from_anime Big white wet stain, in fact."]] |
| 147 | * AManIsAlwaysEager: As far as he was concerned, having to ride in Lori's trunk wasn't that big a deal, so long as [[VampiresAreSexGoddesses he was getting laid]] by Lori and her girls. |
| 148 | -->'''Leonard: (to Heather)''' "Heck, I even kinda enjoyed it. Maybe not riding in the trunk, [[WorthIt but you do what you have to]] [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/kinda_enjoyed_it for a little "BC."]] |
| 149 | * MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: Was perfectly happy to keep vampire cheerleaders secret after they banged him silly, but not so much after his subsequent enthrallment was broken. |
| 150 | * {{Nosebleed}}: Leonard gets one, during the ''"Adventures in Space... and Time?!"'' arc, once they finally find Stephanie and he realizes she's [[spoiler: naked]]. Katie clocks him to keep him from trying anything. |
| 151 | * TheOneGuy: You'd think that being surrounded by a group of hot cheerleaders would be [[AllMenArePerverts a guy's dream come true.]] Not with ''[[SociopathicHero these girls]]'', and especially not if the guy [[DudeWheresMyRespect is Leonard.]] Both sides get better.... sorta. |
| 152 | * TheRenfield: Lori turned him into a thrall during vol.2, which was unnecessary, as Sasha and Danielle noted he was already [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/pussy_whipped "pussy whipped".]] But they still worked him like a slave anyway and periodically reinforced the glamour by continuing to screw him. |
| 153 | * TookALevelInBadass: He was pretty clearly your factory standard geek, starting out. However ''the minute'' he realizes his best friend/prospective love interest has been turned into a vampire (which he actually realized was happening ''before she was turned''), he ''immediately'' levels up to CrazyPrepared BadassLongcoat VampireHunter. He gets weakened once he gets thralled by the vampires, [[spoiler:but once he is freed from their thrall however, he is shown with [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/leonard_comes_prepared enough skill to cut down a room of monsters on his own.]]]] |
| 154 | * VampiresAreSexGods: He probably thinks so at this point. [[spoiler: Stephanie, Charlotte and Katie doing their "nerd burlesque" for him might have him realize they're not the only "sex goddesses" around, especially if his reaction to Katie's "Slave Leia" routine is a sign.]] |

| 158 | '''Associated tropes:''' |
| 159 | * BigDamnHeroes: Seen near the end of vol.4, when they swoop in to save Leonard and Suki just as they'd been about to be [[spoiler:sucked into the vacuum of space]]. Then they clear a path so [[spoiler: Stephanie]] and the others can escape the [[spoiler: Mothworld's destruction]]. The page is even titled: ''[[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/b_squadron_to_the_rescue "B Squadron to the Rescue"]]''. |

| 169 | * BabiesEverAfter: By the end of the comic, Stephanie has several offspring with [[spoiler: the mothmen]], while Charlotte is HappilyMarried to [[spoiler: J.C.]] and has a son by him. |
| 170 | * BreakingTheFellowship: In vol.4, the group was disbanded [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/searching_high_and_low by order of PETM]], after Steph is [[spoiler: abducted by the mothmen]]. In the following months, Katie joined the BHS cheerleading team and J.C. [[spoiler: [[http://www.pixietrixcomix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=507459#p507459 assumes command of the newly established PETM]]]]. |
| 171 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Aside from Stephanie, their group is comprised of cryptids, who would typically be seen as villainous, but they're actually the good guys; especially when compared to the cheerleaders. |
| 172 | * DemonSlaying: They protect the rest of humanity by hunting and eliminating cryptids which, naturally, puts them at odds with PETM. |
| 173 | * FunWithAcronyms: Stephanie chose the name ''"Paranormal Mystery Squad"'' [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/no_guys_allowed because the initials signify that they're an all girl group.]] Get it? |
| 174 | * HeroAntagonist: PMS took on this role, during the ''"Vampire Cheerleaders Must Die!"'' arc, in order to save the students at Bakertown High by exposing Lori's Coven as vampires. |
| 175 | * HeroesWithBadPublicity: As far as the general public's concerned, the Paranormal Mystery Squad's actions [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/live_from_las_vegas were cruel and inhumane.]] Steph's flippancy only [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/back_to_you_don made things worse]] for their image. |
| 176 | * MonsterMash: Their team consists of: a human, a werewolf, a dhampyr, a Wiccan, a ghost, and a bat as the team pet. |
| 177 | * ParanormalInvestigation: It's what they do, hence, the group's name. |
| 178 | * SecretKeeper: Stephanie, Katie, and Charlotte know of the existence of [[Webcomic/EerieCuties Charybdis]] [[AllGhoulsSchool Heights]], [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/a_lady_vampire_never_gives_her_age due to having close ties with the Delacroix Family.]] A fact which [[http://www.pixietrixcomix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=451517#p451517 they've kept hidden from J.C.]], because he's a liasons officer from PETM. |

| 181 | [[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pms-steph_5748.jpg]] |
| 182 | '''Associated tropes:''' |
| 183 | * CharacterDevelopment: She's introduced as having a staunch [[VanHelsingHateCrimes zero-tolerence policy against all cryptids]], because of what happened to her parents. This changes over time, as she gradually [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/my_dark_passenger comes to accept that not all crpytids are evil]], thanks to her sister and their friends, who happen to be cryptids themselves. |
| 184 | * ChildhoodFriends: With [[spoiler: [[Webcomic/EerieCuties Layla Delacroix]]]], who gave Stephanie [[spoiler: [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/treasure_it_always_-_guest_strip one of her skullpins]]]] as a parting gift. |
| 185 | * ElegantGothicLolita: Especially in her debut in Aoi House. Early PMS, cover, and pin-up art also depict her wearing dresses of this style. |
| 186 | * ExpressiveAccessory: Her [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/treasure_it_always_-_guest_strip hairpin]] was a gift from [[Webcomic/EerieCuties Layla Delacroix]]. It reflects her thinking, at times [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/charlotte_and_the_3_goddesses "winking"]] as well. |
| 187 | * FireForgedFriends: With [[spoiler: Lorna Thurston]] by the end of vol.4, as noted in the related entry in her example section. |
| 188 | * GoKartingWithBowser: In vol.3, the gang [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/crawlers_and_bigfoot wound up dancing in a parade with Bigfoot]], in [[ShoutOut a scene similar to]] the ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqQFTq2FIdY "Twist and Shout"]]'' scene from ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff''. |
| 189 | * {{Goth}}: When on-duty she always dresses in EGL fashion. |
| 190 | %%* HimeCut: A textbook example of the style, as seen in the accompanying picture in her section. |
| 191 | * TheHighQueen: She becomes the new regent of [[spoiler: the mothmen]] during vol.4. Though it's subverted since it was by way of selection, rather than lineage. |
| 192 | ** AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: See: [[spoiler: MoreDeadlyThanTheMale and RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething]]. |
| 193 | ** TheChosenOne: The [[spoiler: mothmen]] [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/petm_in_flames! selected Stephanie]] as their new queen [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/getting_down_to_business after silently observing her for months]]. |
| 194 | ** KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Which is preceded by [[spoiler: [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/mothy_transformation a magical transformation]]]] into her [[spoiler: [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/costume_change queenly regalia]]]]. |
| 195 | -->'''Leonard: (in awe)''' "Whoa...!" |
| 196 | -->'''Suki: (likewise)''' [[LampshadeHanging "Where can *I* get a costume like THAT?"]] |
| 197 | ** LadyOfWar: It comes with the territory (seen in the related entries). |
| 198 | ** MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: Whereas the males of the [[spoiler: Mothman]] species lack the ability to fight, as their Queen, Stephanie has the power to [[spoiler: either revert someone to an infant, or [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/age_is_a_number make them age rapidly 'til they wither away in ash]]]]! |
| 199 | ** PregnantBadass: She finds out she's [[spoiler: [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/stomach_pain been knocked up]]]] in the middle of a battle with the Reptilians. She even tells Katie [[spoiler: [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/pickles_and_ice_cream she's about to be an aunt]], and an earlier order to "guard the nursery" implies that it's not her first]]. |
| 200 | ** RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: The Reptilians launch their attack on the [[spoiler: Mothworld]] while Stephanie was in power. [[TemptingFate They couldn't have picked a worse time.]] |
| 201 | ** TookALevelInBadass: She's gone from cryptid hunter to being [[spoiler: the Moth Queen]], along with all the powers and authority that comes with the position. 'nuff said. |
| 202 | ** WingedHumanoid: As Queen of [[spoiler: mothmen]], she's grown wings of her own, which gives her the power of {{Flight}}. |
| 203 | * {{Irony}}: The girl who dedicated her life to hunting and killing cryptids, ends up [[spoiler: becoming [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/stand_our_ground the queen of an entire brood]]]], in vol.4. Including [[spoiler: [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/sisters_reunion breeding with the mothmen]] and [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething leading them in battle against the Reptilians]], to avenge their fallen]]. |
| 204 | * IntimateHealing: Done just before the battle with K'aanll'Ngua, at the climax of vol.2. J.C. had been severely drained by Lita, who had fed on him for days. So Stephanie cut her arm and [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/giving_blood allowed him to feed on her to regain his strength.]] |
| 205 | * {{Jerkass}}: Steph can be bossy and is quick to assume the worst when it comes to cryptids, but [[CharacterDevelopment this changes over time.]] |
| 206 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Very ''rarely'' comes up. But she does try to keep innocents out of the crossfire and looks out for her teammates if nothing else. |
| 207 | * MercyKill: How She views slaying monsters that were born human. [[spoiler:She initially plans to do this with her sister, but is talked down by JC and Charlotte]]. |
| 208 | * MsFanservice: She channels [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/where_fan_service_reigned_supreme Samus]] [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/emergency_order Aran]] in an effort to help break the hold the Vampire Cheerleaders have over Leonard. [[MarshmallowHell And she rubs her bosom in his face to]] [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/pew_pew weaken him further.]] |
| 209 | * OlderThanTheyLook: She's 22, yet barely looks a year older than her kid sister, Katie[[note]]said to be 15 in vol.1-3, turned 16 by vol.4[[/note]]. |
| 210 | * OldShame: The fact that she's had an active sex life is something she'd rather her friends not know about. |
| 211 | * OnlyYouCanRepopulateMyRace: After [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/getting_down_to_business silently observing her]] for months, the [[spoiler: mothmen]] chose her as [[spoiler: [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/the_death_of_stephanie_kane their new Queen]]]] and abducted her in order to replenish their dying race. Her sister (Katie), Leonard, and Suki, had to journey across space and time to find her. When they finally did, they found her [[spoiler: [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/sisters_reunion breeding with them]]]]. Though it wasn't until the Reptilians attacked, moments later, that Stephanie realized she was pregnant [[spoiler: (again), and [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/egg_laying_made_easy began giving birth to multiple moth larva]]]]. |
| 212 | * ReallyGetsAround: Though she initially denied it, Steph's gotten laid more than a few times: |
| 213 | ** While they were investigating the crash at "Inspiration Point", she [[OpenMouthInsertFoot accidentally let it slip]] that she'd been there [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/return_to_inspiration_point more than once]], during her days at MSU[[note]]Mooreland State University[[/note]], though she tried to cover it up. Two scenes later, she wound up admitting it to [[Series/TheMentalist Agent]] [[TheCameo Lisbon]] - [[Funny/VampireCheerleaders then tried to take it back again!]] |
| 214 | -->'''Lisbon:''' "After all, this ''is'' "Inspiration Point". You know what kids do out here." |
| 215 | -->'''Stephanie: (proud smile)''' "Don't I '''[[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/a_snack_once_lost EVER."]]''' |
| 216 | -->'''*makes [[OhCrap 'oh shit!']] face after realizing [[DidIJustSayThatOutLoud she just said that out loud]]*''' |
| 217 | -->'''*J.C. and Charlotte both smirk behind her*''' |
| 218 | -->'''Stephanie:''' [[BadLiar "Er--no! I totally]] '''[[BlatantLies DON'T!!"]]''' |
| 219 | ** Also suffice to say she was "busy", during the time Katie and co. were looking for her, in vol.4. When they finally found her, she was getting it on with [[spoiler: a mothman, while surrounded by several others who were waiting their turn]]. Which Steph coyly referred to as [[OnlyYouCanRepopulateMyRace her "queenly duty".]] |
| 220 | * [[HeWhoFightsMonsters She Who Fights Monsters]]: Mostly covered in the CharacterDevelopment entry. Though, in vol.4, she became a rare ''literal'' example of the trope when [[spoiler: she became a cryptid, herself]]. |
| 221 | * SupernaturallyYoungParent: As the newly appointed [[spoiler: Moth Queen]], her natural lifespan has been greatly extended and she'll never grow a day older. Plus, she can bestow the same gift on anyone she chooses, as she did for Charlotte when she [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/same_as_when_i_left permanently locked her age at 32.]] |
| 222 | * TragicBigot: What happened to her parents ''definitely'' contributed to her [[CharacterizationMarchesOn original]] murderous attitude towards cryptids of all kinds. |
| 223 | * {{Tsundere}}: Towards J.C. see the following entry. |
| 224 | * UnresolvedSexualTension: It's heavily implied that she secretly has a crush on J.C. |
| 225 | ** In vol.2, Katie joked by telling Stephanie that J.C. wanted to jump her bones and asked if she'd let him do it. Stephanie [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/faqs_about_the_plaza mumbled 'yes']], though she was half asleep at the time and quickly denies it. |
| 226 | ** Later, after she and Katie had been freed from Lita's mind control and were preparing to move out against her, [[LuminescentBlush she blushed]] when she asked about him: |
| 227 | -->'''Stephanie: (blushing)''' "And J.C?" |
| 228 | -->'''Katie: ([[SuperDeformed chibified]])''' "Food source. Pet. [[SexSlave Love slave.]] All of the above." |
| 229 | -->'''Stephanie: (blush deepens)''' [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/clothing_situation "Unacceptable! Let's go save his sorry ass!"]] |
| 230 | -->'''*Charlotte and Katie snicker behind her back*''' |
| 231 | * VanHelsingHateCrimes: She firmly believed all cryptids were inherently evil, as a result of what happened to her parents. Her view began to change once her kid sister became a werewolf and moreso after learning J.C. was a dhampyr. |
| 232 | |
| 233 | !!Katie Kane |
| 234 | [[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pms-katie_5729.jpg]] |
| 235 | '''Associated tropes:''' |
| 236 | * ACupAngst: Her lack of a noticeable bust is definitely a sore point for her. |
| 237 | * BlackEyesOfCrazy: As a werewolf, she has black sclera and is more vicious than she was as a human. |
| 238 | * BrainBleach: Katie ends up needing some in vol.4, when she finally reunites with Stephanie and finds her [[spoiler: in bed with a mothman, with several others waiting their turn]]. The moment [[CoitusInterruptus the realization sinks in]], she shoves Stephanie away from her and gags. |
| 239 | -->'''Katie: (in disgust)''' [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/leonard_gets_ultra_depressed "Oh God! Stephanie--!!"]] |
| 240 | * CurseCutShort: When she finds out [[spoiler: her sister is pregnant for the mothmen and was about to give birth]], Katie's speech bubble gets censored. |
| 241 | -->'''Katie: (groaning)''' "You have ''GOT'' to be f*** kidding me." |
| 242 | * CuteMonsterGirl: She became one after being bitten by a werewolf in vol.1. |
| 243 | * TheCutie: Mainly in the first two volumes, where she was young and {{moe}} in appearance. From the ''"Vampire Cheerleaders Must Die!"'' arc onwards, she's given an older appearance and portrayed as being moody and foul tempered instead. |
| 244 | * EmergencyTransformation: Somewhat, she gets infected with lycanthropy but Charlotte manages to use a spell so she doesn't become a mindless creature. |
| 245 | * IdiotHair: She has a cowlick that sticks up all the time. While not as bad as Suki, Katie has a habit of acting without always thinking first. |
| 246 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: At first, anyway. According to the cast page, she'd rather spend time dating and hanging out with her friends in highschool - except Stephanie insisted on draggin' her into [[DemonSlaying the family business.]] Of course, that was ''before'' she became a werewolf. Now she doesn't mind getting in on the action. |
| 247 | * TheLoad: For most of the first two volumes of ''PMS'', where Katie's inexperience, clumsiness, [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/sorry_about_that and tardiness]] made her a liability to the team. |
| 248 | ** She wound up being cornered by Mr. Campbell's son, due to wandering off on her own and was [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/katie_needs_you almost fatally bitten.]] Thus, becoming a werewolf, herself. |
| 249 | ** She also released Lita, when she [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/a_big_mess accidentally broke the Urn of Karthos]], while searching for her purse, [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/the_broken_urn then lied to cover it up.]] Which resulted in the members of PMS being enthralled by Lita, after she attacked them at their hotel room. Not to mention the entire incident with [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/the_great_one_comes K'aanll'Ngua]] could've been avoided had she been more careful. |
| 250 | * MsFanservice: Deliberately invoked during the "nerd burlesque" show, when she [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/try_even_harderer channels]] [[Film/ReturnofTheJedi Slave Leia]] to aid the others after Lita [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/nerd_burlesque taunts]] her. JC does a Double FacePalm when he sees her, but it was [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/aloha_oe the push Leonard needed.]] |
| 251 | * NearRapeExperience: Midway through the first volume, Theodore kidnapped Katie and tried to take advantage of her while she was [[spoiler: [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/yiffing_mad in heat]]]]. It didn't end well for him. She was so enraged, that she broke free and [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/mating_season beat the ever living sh*t out of him.]] |
| 252 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Literally. Which is how Lita got free (see the second entry under TheLoad). |
| 253 | * NoPeriodsPeriod: Averted. Katie seems to delight in using her teenaged PMS as an excuse to [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/fine_whatever_pout ignore diplomacy]] (and propriety). |
| 254 | ** When Charlotte [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/heavy_flow_month opens her purse]] for smelling salts and out come lots of tampons, Katie snarks "Heavy flow month?" Stephanie tells her "It's the whole team's supply, you dingbat!" before giving her a fist upside the head. |
| 255 | * TookALevelInJerkass: Seen repeatedly, during the ''"Adventures in Space... and Time?!"'' arc in vol.4, where Katie becomes [[UnprovokedPervertPayback unjustly bitchy and abusive]] towards Leonard for things that ''[[NotWhatItLooksLike aren't]]'' [[CrashIntoHello his fault.]] Such as [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/a_view_to_a_kill these two]] [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/blathering_blatherskite instances]], where it should've been obvious that Leonard wasn't to blame. She ''tries'' to justify it by saying that's she's actually {{tsundere}} for Leonard. |
| 256 | * UnprovokedPervertPayback: Every time she and Leonard wind up in a compromising position in vol. 4, she hurts him. |
| 257 | * OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: She transforms when aroused. |

| 260 | [[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pms-char_6867.jpg]] |
| 261 | '''Associated tropes:''' |
| 262 | %%* BoyishShortHair: As seen in the picture, to the right. |
| 263 | * BuxomBeautyStandard: People tend to focus on her breasts when they notice how large they are. |
| 264 | * CuteWitch: A shy one with [[YouthfulFreckles freckles]], who tends to [[IneptMage fumble her magic half the time]] and substitutes botched incantations [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/bring_the_lightning_2 with comicbook]] and movie references. |
| 265 | * HappilyMarried: Sometime during the 10 years Stephanie was missing (in vol.4), [[spoiler:[[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/kiss_a_little_longer she marries JC]] [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/just_like_your_daddy and has a son by him]]]]. |
| 266 | * HiddenBuxom: You don't see 'em often, since [[ShrinkingViolet she's shy]] and usually dresses conservatively. But when you ''do'' [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/peer_pressure get to see 'em]] - '''[[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/locator_spell_charge-up YOWZA!!]]''' |
| 267 | * IneptMage: Her magic is undeniably powerful... when she can actually get it to work, that is. Which is often hit-or-miss, since she tends to forget the proper incantations and has to make one up instead. |
| 268 | * MsFanservice: She and Stephanie deliberately invoke this by cosplaying as video game characters to free Leonard from Lori's enthrallment. Chars dresses [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/smiles_and_sunshine as Vanille]] of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' before [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/charlotte_and_the_3_goddesses summoning]] Shiva, Mighty Isis and Ominous Oya, the last who seems a ShoutOut to the late-80's ComicBook/{{Storm|MarvelComics}}. |
| 269 | * MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: Among her gifts, is a type of sixth sense that [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/something_wicked allows her to sense evil]], or simply when something is amiss. |
| 270 | * PlayfulCatSmile: She sports a mischievous cat smile when she sees Katie's prom dress. Katie's not as pleased. Charlotte then sticks a flowery hat on Katie's head to finish with "I know! You look fluffy enough to eat! [[SayItWithHearts <3]]" |
| 271 | --> '''Katie:''' I am not wearing this. |
| 272 | --> '''Charlotte:''' Oh, but, Katie, it looks so good on you! |
| 273 | --> '''Katie:''' (frowning) I look...like a WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake reject. |
| 274 | * ShrinkingViolet: |
| 275 | ** She's incredibly [[DCupDistress self-conscious about her breasts]], particularly when anyone calls attention to them. Also seen when Katie joked about why she had so many tampons in her bag, causing Charlotte to tear up in embarrassment. |
| 276 | ** In the same time frame Katie makes a remark about how it takes Charlotte time to get her magic going...and it comes out as an entendre. Charlotte doesn't take it well and when Steph gets mad at her for it Katie goes for her then favorite excuse: her period. |
| 277 | --> '''Katie:''' "See, this here ''eligible'' wiccan is descended right from the good ol' Salem witches. Unlike them, though, it takes Char here a while to get her magical mojo flowin'. But once you get her warmed up she can go ''allll'' night!" |
| 278 | --> '''Stephanie:''' '''''"Katie..."''''' |
| 279 | --> '''Charlotte:''' ''*Pulling her knees up to her chest*'' "I'll be curling up into my shell now." |
| 280 | * SupernaturallyYoungParent: Thanks to Steph, who permanently locked Charlotte's age at 32 at her request. Which has also greatly extended her lifespan, much like her husband's and their son. |
| 281 | * TookALevelInBadass: After stepping through the time portal and arriving at [[spoiler: the Mothworld]], she's attacked by a giant winged demon. Charlotte [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/nice_and_toasty nuked it with an explosive fire spell]] and bisected what was left, using her sword. Suffice to say, she ain't timid anymore. |

| 289 | * {{Nosebleed}}: See the [[UnresolvedSexualTension UST]] entry below. |
| 290 | * TheOneGuy: As Steph pointed out, PMS had been all female, which was a conscious decision on her part. But PETM filed a lawsuit against them[[note]]as a result of Stephanie blatantly ignoring the cryptid preservation act by publicly executing the Deer Woman[[/note]], thus they were court ordered to accept J.C. on their team, so he could monitor their activities on [=PETM's=] behalf and ensure they operated within their guidelines. |
| 291 | * OnlySaneMan: He's usually the voice of reason on the team, especially when talking Stephanie out of making rash decisions; like the time he [[spoiler: [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/hold_her_down kept her from killing Katie, when she first turned into a werewolf]]]]. |
| 292 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Black eyes due to the B&W style of the comic but same thing. |
| 293 | * ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: In vol.2, when given the choice between following [=PETM's=] guidelines, or saving the people of Las Vegas from K'aanll'Ngua, he chose the latter without a moment's hesitation. |
| 294 | * ShutUpKiss: Just before Charlotte prepares to leave in order to find Stephanie and the others, she starts to tell J.C. [[spoiler: she may not be coming back]], 'til [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/kiss_a_little_longer he cuts her off by kissing her.]] |
| 295 | * SixthRanger: In the first volume, he joined them on behalf of PETM. By volume 2, he had quit the organization to work with PMS full time. While in the third, he's rejoined PETM, but still prefers to work with the PMS. |
| 296 | * SuperSpeed: Being half vampire allows J.C. to move at superhuman speeds, so long as he's been allowed to feed. In vol.2, he was fast enough to leap from the driver's side of the team's winnebago and still catch Charlotte [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/hold_onto_your_wand as she fell from the passenger side]], then [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/honeymoon_phase was able run near vertically]] up K'aanll'Ngua's tail. |
| 297 | * UnresolvedSexualTension: It's subtly implied that he has feelings towards Stephanie, such as when he got a {{nosebleed}} at [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/that_one_thing_with_dustin the thought of her and Charlotte shagging Leonard]], or the time [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/the_term_is_mama_bird she caught him looking up her skirt]], while they where spying on the cheerleaders. |
| 298 | * YouAreInCommandNow: By the time vol.4 begins, [[WordOfGod Adam states that]] J.C. has become [[spoiler: the new head of PETM]]. |

| 314 | * EldritchAbomination: The Reptilians thought they had succeeded in killing her, but she [[CameBackWrong came back as something far worse]] than anything they were expecting and [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/one_reptilian_down soon]] [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/two_reptilians_down die]] [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/a_last_stand horribly.]] |

| 330 | * [[AnimalWrongsGroup Monster Wrongs Group]]: Under Marcy's leadership, they're more concerned with monster rights, than the safety of the general public. |
| 331 | * [[spoiler: NebulousEvilOrganization]]: It's eventually revealed that their organization was secretly being run by [[spoiler: [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/the_package Reptilians in human guise]]]], who were [[spoiler: eating]] the cryptids that were being released to their custody. Which is why the PMS [[spoiler: [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/petm_in_flames! burned their HQ to the ground]] once they found out]]. |

| 335 | '''Associated tropes:''' |
| 336 | * AnimalWrongsGroup: She makes PETM look like this to the PMS on her introduction. Not only does she ''also'' treat cryptids like animals herself, but she's so much more concerned about the "rights" of belligerent and dangerous cryptids that she tried to ''fine Steph'' while she was battling a cryptid that revealed itself by attacking innocent dancers at a rock concert, and had a history of [[HoneyTrap seducing men to kill and eat them.]] |
| 337 | * ArtificialLimbs: Marcy wears high-tech prosthetic legs. Steph speculates they have something to do with her pro-cryptid sympathies but J.C. can't confirm it. [[spoiler:It's eventually revealed she lost her legs in a botched sacrificial ritual.]] |
| 338 | * BelligerentSexualTension: When J.C. reveals that Marcy's a lesbian, it causes Stephanie to wonder if that explains why Marcy's always on her case. |
| 339 | * LawfulStupid: She's more concerned about [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/it_makes_perfect_sense protecting cryptids]] than the thousands of people whose lives said cryptid's actions put at risk. |
| 340 | * LipstickLesbian: Which was news to Stephanie, [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/a_little_office_pool when J.C. finally told her.]] |
| 341 | * ObstructiveBureaucrat: Almost to the point of being TooDumbToLive. She went so far as to contact offices in Washington to confirm that K'aanll'Ngua was protected by the ''"Endangered Species Act"'' of 1973. Which effectively made it impossible for the military to take action against it, even though thousands of civilian lives were at stake. |

| 354 | * AlwaysChaoticEvil: Stephanie initially assumed all cryptids were inherently evil [[VanHelsingHateCrimes and needed to be put down.]] But gradually came to realize she'd been wrong, after her sister became a werewolf and after spending time with Charlotte and J.C. who each have cryptid ancestry. |
| 355 | * MonsterOfTheWeek: Each major story arc has ended with a battle against some sort of cryptid: |
| 356 | ** Volume 1 concluded with Steph and co. trying to save Katie from Theodore Campbell and his wolf pack. Except by the time they got to her, Katie had already taken care of him, herself. |
| 357 | ** The next one ended in a massive battle [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/it_just_got_real against K'aanll'Ngua]], a towering four-armed monstrosity that'd been summoned by Lita. While they managed to defeat it, they destroyed a sizable portion of the Vegas Strip when it collapsed; prompting them to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere flee the scene]] [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/should_we_stick_around before charges could be filed against them]], by PETM. |
| 358 | ** The ''[[RequiredSpinOffCrossover "Vampire Cheerleaders Must Die!"]]'' arc culminated in the showdown between the Paranormal Mystery Squad and Lori's vampire Coven. In the end, they were exposed and [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/prom_aftermath taken into custody]] [[AnimalWrongsGroup by PETM.]] |
| 359 | ** The climax of the fourth and final volume had the members of PMS (and Suki) battling the Reptilians, who were hellbent on wiping the Mothmen out of existence... [[spoiler: and nearly succeeded, when [[ApocalypseHow they destroyed]] [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/escape_from_mothworld Mothworld]]]]. |
| 360 | * WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Aside from the Delacroix Family, Stephanie originally thought of cryptids as being no better than animals. That eventually changed. |

| 365 | '''Associated tropes:''' |
| 366 | * HalfHumanHybrid: She had the upper body of an adult female and the legs of a deer. |
| 367 | * OffscreenVillainy: When Marcy demanded Stephanie turn the Deer Woman over to her, Steph brought up [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/i_am_not_a_waitress the 7 victims]] the Deer Woman had killed and said she was too dangerous to be permitted to live. Then... |
| 368 | * OffWithHerHead: ...[[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/you_said_you_wanted_this executed her]] and left Marcy with the body. This came back to haunt her, when PETM filed a lawsuit against her for flagrantly disregarding the Cryptid Protections Act. |
| 369 | * StarterVillain: She's the very first one we see Stephanie eliminate. |

| 379 | * AttemptedRape: Theo tracked Katie down after she and her friends escaped his father's farm, then waited 'til she was alone and kidnapped her. She regained consciousness, just as he'd been about to take her against her will. |
| 380 | * EntitledToHaveYou: He tried to convince Katie that it was only natural that he take her, since she was [[spoiler: in heat]] and they were both werewolves. Katie was justifiably insulted by the implication and became enraged enough to break the chains on her wrists. Then... |
| 381 | -->'''Theo: (prying Katie's legs open)''' "C'mon girl... [[ResistanceIsFutile why resist?]] [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty I own you now.]] You and me are gonna make beautiful little puppies together! A whole howling litter." |

| 384 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Suffice to say, he chose the wrong girl to try that with, 'cuz [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/the_ascent he got his ass beat.]] |
| 385 | * [[BitchInSheepsClothing Wolf in Sheep's Clothing]]: A near literal example. Theo pretended to be a NiceGuy when he first met Katie, but in the end, he was just a horndog looking to get laid. Instead, he got ''laid out''. |

| 388 | |
| 389 | '''Associated tropes:''' |
| 390 | * ButterflyOfDeathAndRebirth: Which is a power only [[spoiler: [[MoreDeadlyThanTheMale their Queen]]]] possesses, as seen when Stephanie invoked it to [[spoiler: revert one group of Reptilians to infants, while causing another group to age rapidly 'til they withered away in ashes]]. |
| 391 | * [[spoiler: [[DoomedHometown Doomed Planet]]: The Reptilians ultimately succeed in annihilating the Mothworld, forcing Stephanie and the few survivors with her [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/escape_from_mothworld to flee their planet's destruction]]]]. |
| 392 | * DyingRace: As a result of being hunted to the brink of extinction by the Reptilians, who feared the mothmen for their ability to see into the future. |
| 393 | * HumanoidAliens: Simply picture a moth [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/vying_for_the_prize in the shape of an average adult human male.]] Though they lack a visible mouth of any kind. |
| 394 | ** WingedHumanoid: Moths have wings (and antenna), so.... |
| 395 | * [[MysteriousWatcher Mysterious Watchers]]: They've made appearances during each of the PMS crew's adventures, [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/petm_on_the_scene_3 since the very beginning]], and have a keen interest in [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/getting_down_to_business Stephanie]] and [[spoiler: [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/remember Charlotte]]]]. |
| 396 | * OneGenderRace: Their species is all male. |
| 397 | * OnlyYouCanRepopulateMyRace: Which was the primary reason they chose Stephanie as [[spoiler: [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/behold[=...=]_the_moth_queen! their new Queen]]]] and abducted her. By the time Katie and the others found her, she had already begun breeding with them and was carrying multiple embryos. When the Reptilians launched their attack on the Mothworld, Steph's contractions started and she [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/egg_laying_made_easy began laying eggs on the battlefield.]] She had also ordered several of her guardsmen to protect the nursery, which is where [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/too_many_jars the rest of her eggs]] were being incubated. |
| 398 | * PsychicPowers: Their abilites are nothing short of astonishing, despite their passive nature. |
| 399 | ** {{Seers}}: They're capable of perceiving future events and can even share their visions with others. Which is how Charlotte knew when and where to find Katie and the others. And it's the reason the Reptilians fear them, even though they're a peaceful race. |
| 400 | ** {{Telepathy}}: Since they lack visible mouths, they communicate telepathically and can even project their thoughts across time and space. |

| 421 | * BondVillainStupidity: Of her own accord as she admits she before she would just outright eat her victims in the past, but now likes to savor them nice and slow. A good thing for Lori as it allows her to form a plan of escape. |
| 422 | * DepravedBisexual: [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/come_a_little_closer She flirts with Lori]] [[spoiler:then she chaines her and rapes her]].

[[spoiler:It wasn't until Lori broke her neck and the fans started going {{I Knew It}} that [[WordOfGod Adam informed them they were wrong, pointing out the time of death for the bodies doesn't match.]] At that point the fans sadly realized who it was that Lita would truly possess.]] |

| 434 | ** BigDamnHeroes / JustInTime: ...until Leonard brings the Paranormal Mystery Squad to [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/the_party_crashers crash]] Cressida's "dinner party".]] |
| 435 | * BadBoss: Once she learns her sister is dead, she heads to Las Vegas and instantly kills Bianca's servant in the cruelest way possible. |
| 436 | * TheChessMaster: She's played the Paranormal Mystery Squad and gamed PETM to get the Vampire Cheerleaders to Miami for payback. She just didn't count on JC realizing he's been played...or Leonard tossing in to make things right. |
| 437 | * EyeScream: [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/?module=articles&func=display&ptid=17 The script for an unfinished chapter]] reveals she escaped, though Lori ripped out one of her eyes. |
| 438 | * GorgeousGorgon: Just like her sister, in fact. |
| 439 | * ImAHumanitarian: She taunts the cheerleaders with making Suki into a "suki-yaki," and it's revealed she actually DID repeatedly eat Suki's liver and followed through to a point on that. |
| 440 | * KickTheDog: Killing Bianca's servant in the cruelest way possible is a much worst kick the dog moment. Even though [[ForegoneConclusion the fans already knew it was coming, that didn't make it any easier.]] |
| 441 | * OffscreenVillainy: The author ran out of time to draw the epilogue for the volume set. So instead wrote what became of Bianca's servant in simple text formet on the webcomic. However if you're reading from the volume, you might be understandably confused why the servant is suddenly dead. |
| 442 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: She's been alive since at least the time of the Roman empire. |
