- Dante from 101 Dalmatian Street. He even has black fur with white spotsnote to go with it.
- An episode of 6teen had Jude dress up as a goth to try to retain his girlfriend, who was on a goth kick. In the same episode, the regular cast and a bunch of goths (most of whom were poseurs) were trapped together in the Mall after a power outage. While it had the typical goth jokes, the episode had the two groups more or less accepting each other.
- Though ironically, the episode does end on an unusual gloomy note after the not-really-goth couple breaks up.
- The Lich from Adventure Time this is the result of mixing two very similar themes together: "Gothic" and "Villainy." His appearance could only be described as "twisted and frightening beyond all belief".
- Marceline, being a vampire, is a goth of the more perky variety.
- In season 1 of American Dragon: Jake Long the Oracle twins were identical twins and Kara looked punkish or grunge looking if anything. Come the massive art overhaul in season 2 Kara is a stereotypical goth while her, now fraternal, sister Sara is a preppy blue-eyed blonde.
- Mai for Avatar: The Last Airbender counts in the Gloomy Goth category. She's also a Snark Knight and a Deadpan Snarker to boot.
- Desna and Eska from The Legend of Korra also count in the same category as Mai being The Stoic and Creepy Twins making even Bolin freak out.
- Book 3 gives us Handicapped Badass Dark Action Girl Ming-Hua, with her slate-gray outfit, bitter snark, hair worthy of a Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl, and facial expressions that (at least, until one of her friends dies in the finale) seem to be limited to "ominous glower" and "malicious grin." (She's probably the most overtly temperamental and vicious of the antagonist group, too.)
- Book 3 also introduced us to Huan Beifong, one of Toph's grandsons through her daughter Suyin. While he doesn't wear much black, he is the angsty artist type and cares deeply for his individuality. Also his hair looks like Skrillex.
- Lydia Deetz from the Beetlejuice animated series is the perky variety of this trope. This is most likely a change made to fit the tone of a children's animated TV series.
- Clone High has Joan of Arc. She became like this after cracking from the pressure to live up to the original Joan of Arc, who was loyal to Rome (which the original Goths sacked in 410 AD).
- Not quite a Lone Psycho Goth (she has a boyfriend and a small clique of goth friends), Chloe Crashman from Carl² could be the poster girl for the Angry Goth.
- The character of Janice in Creep School is Goth, as her heavy make-up, black dress and personality show.
- The Crumpets has Caprice, a bipolar teenage girl with mostly black hair who is described as goth, and sometimes has a fascination with haunted theming. Her eco-conscious rockstar boyfriend Marylin also has black hair, and wears a pentagram t-shirt, a skull belt, and studded decorations. Her best friend Cassandra's school appearance has her wearing dark gray clothes, skulls in her t-shirt, earrings, and braid hair decorations, and spiked bracelets.
- Sam from Danny Phantom is said to be goth and goes between Perky and Gloomy, but more often comes off as an activist hippie who wears black.
- Andrea from Daria, though she gets about three lines per season on average, is unmistakably Lawndale High's token goth kid.Andrea: (Reciting her own poetry) I'm here. But, where are you? Sure, I see your body. Anybody home in that rotting bag of flesh?
- Kylie Griffin from Extreme Ghostbusters exemplifies the Gloomy Goth sub-trope.
- Ingrid from Fillmore!. Although, unlike most examples, her goth-ness isn't some sort of defining characteristic. She just happens to like dressing in black and has black hair.
- Blanche in Gravedale High, her official stereotype is the Southern Belle, but her black clothing and make-up, cold personality and general attire puts her easily in the Goth too (of course it helps that she's a zombie).
- The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy runs on this, as well as Dark Is Not Evil. Just to give you an idea, some of the major/recurring characters include The Grim Reaper, a girl who reflects many goth stereotypes (while dressed in pink and other bright colors), a Humanoid Abomination and his son, Dracula, and the son of a Mummy and the son of the aforementioned Dracula. (In the latter's case, it's even more obvious in Underfist, where his superpowered monster form looks like this trope mixed with Ancient Egyptian motifs.)
- Creepie Creecher, from Growing Up Creepie. She also has a cadre of goth friends/acquaintances. None are really portrayed negatively.
- Invader Zim:
- Gaz seems like a goth on the surface since she wears a black dress and a skull necklace, is apathetic to everyone and everything outside of her limited interests, and is incredibly aggressive towards anyone who gets on her bad side. But Jhonen Vasquez himself has stated that she isn't a goth, it's just the style he chose for her (her black dress and necklace was inspired by Pepito from Jhonen’s comic Squee); he's since tried to change her wardrobe and attitude for the continuation comics and Netflix movie, giving her a somewhat more colorful outfit design and dialing back on her negative attitude a bit. In this case, she's more of a subversion.
- Dib could be seen as a male example, because he wears all black, has a t-shirt with no expression, and has a fascination with the paranormal (as opposed to Gaz, who has no interest in such things and is almost purely focused on mainstream consumer culture). He has his dark moments despite being more happy than his sister.
- Ophelia from The Life and Times of Juniper Lee. One character comes right out and calls her a goth; she doesn't deny it, simply responding with a cold glare.
- Lucy Loud from The Loud House is an eight-year-old who breathes the idea of "goth"- she dresses in and dyes her hair black, is obsessed with all things morbid and otherworldly like fortune-telling and the occult, keeps creepy animals like bats as pets, speaks in a monotone and writes depressing poetry. Noticeably, this has nothing to do with her family life; she very much loves her family and they love her even if they're creeped out at times by how far she takes her lifestyle, and flashbacks show she had this mindset even when she was younger.
- Queen Chrysalis and King Sombra the prominent Villains of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic an example of both an extroverted goth and an introverted goth. The proof of why they qualify here is rather obvious, both have rather sinister, eerie and (in Chrysalis' case) broken appearances that makes them "sore thumbs" in a usually cheerful cartoon.
- Another animated Gloomy Goth: Creepy Susie of The Oblongs, who seems to be a merciless parody of the stereotype. Funny, because that adult cartoon was actually based on gothic art.
- Ruby Gloom show lives and breathes this; specifically, the entire show is Perky Goth, Dark Is Not Evil, and Moe in the form of an animated series.
- The Simpsons: In "Smart and Smarter," after realizing that she's no longer the smartest, Lisa attempts to gain new identities for herself, such as becoming a goth.Milhouse: What are you now, Lisa? An Oakland Raiders fan?
Lisa: It's called "Goth," eternally clueless one. My new name is "Ravencrow Neversmiles."
Milhouse: Cool. We could be goth together.
[Milhouse gets off the Jungle Gym].
Milhouse: We'll go to the cemetery and summon the dark Lord by kissing and junk.
Lisa: Okay... But first you must apprentice, by kissing the Goddess Ironica. Who lives in this rock.
[Lisa picks up a rock. And hands it to Milhouse. Lisa sneaks away].
Lisa: Do it for an hour, hour and a half.
Milhouse: Yes, my mistress. - South Park: The school has a clique of "goth kids" who are obsessed with being "nonconformists" while maintaining strict adherence to goth dress, music and behavior. They're always hanging around by the dumpster smoking cigarettes and listening to Skinny Puppy or similar goth music. The group consists of a boy who is always tossing his floppy hair, a scrawny boy in a duster, a chubby girl, and a baby, all of them noticeably paler than other kids. In one episode, they refuse to participate in a dance troupe until one of their number decides to join so as not to conform with the other goth kids. The others realize that they'd been "goth served." Several episodes have them getting frustrated by being confused with other subcultures, including "vampires" (Twilight fans) and emos.
- Master Cyclonis, the Big Bad from Storm Hawks fits the bill. Also Stork.
- Teen Titans:
- Raven fits pretty much all the stereotypes, although there are extenuating circumstances for why she has to be that way.
- Also, Honorary Titan Argent is depicted posing as interested in this sort of dark fashion style.
- Jinx seems to fit, or at least has the general style in mind. Of course, her outlook on life has a lot to do with it, too...
- Total Drama
- Gwen is a sort of half-hearted portrayal. She was given a goth character design, but her personality is really pretty average for a (slightly downbeat) teenage girl. Indeed is more a Perky Goth.
- In Total DramaRama, Gwen is much more "gothy", being recharacterized as a sociopathic and antisocial Creepy Child who hates happiness, enjoys terrorizing the other kids in the daycare, and engaging in disturbing forms of play. Very much of the Lone Psycho variety here.
- Duncan seems to fit the Lone Psycho Goth more, although he's arguably considered to be a punk rather than a goth.
- The spinoff Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race introduces two new goth characters, Ennui (boy) and Crimson (girl). They seem to be more of the Emo variant, as opposed to Gwen's Perky Goth personality.
- The 2023 reboot of Total Drama, introduces Lauren aka Scary Girl. Quite literally the most psychotic of the cast, Scary Girl is an unstable Nightmare Fetishist who only seems interested in torturing others. Thankfully she doesn't desire to kill her companions, but she's not above proclaiming vengeance, on those who wronged her.
- Gwen is a sort of half-hearted portrayal. She was given a goth character design, but her personality is really pretty average for a (slightly downbeat) teenage girl. Indeed is more a Perky Goth.
- Triana Orpheus of The Venture Brothers is a goth, replete with a skull on her T-shirt and heavy eyeliner. Her father is a necromancer (and her mother ran off with a younger one) so apparently it runs in the family.
- Victor and Valentino: Guillermo is a gothic boy who refers to himself in third person and has an odd way of speaking (such as calling his mother "creator" and referring to his birthday as the day of his creation).
- Aldous from What It's Like Being Alone is definitely of the Gloomy variety. She's perpetually depressed, obsessed with death, always dressed like she's visiting a rainy-day funeral, and likes writing gloomy poetry.
- As opposed to her comics persona (a perky Southern Belle) Rogue in X-Men: Evolution was given this sort of personality because the creators thought it would fit a girl who was Blessed with Suck.
- The same show's take on the Scarlet Witch has a very strong Hot Topic-Goth vibe.
- Yin turning evil in an episode of Yin Yang Yo! is represented visually by her getting a Goth Girl makeover. The Lone Psycho Goth stereotype is alive and well.
- Zevo3: Angel Jones, Voiced by Pamela Adlon.
