The Misfits

The Misfits are Jem and the Holograms' rivals, and Jem's main competition. They are composed of the members Pizzazz, Roxy, Stormer and Jetta. Their manager is Eric Raymond.

Background
When Jerrica Benton first assumed control of Starlight Music following her father's death, one of her first problems arose from meeting with her then-business partner, Eric Raymond. Eric explained his distaste for Jem and the Holograms, stating that the industry needed "fresh blood". It is as this point that he introduced the Misfits, who made their entrance by riding into the office riding atop motorbikes designed to look like guitars.

Since then, despite losing the Battle of the Bands and having to make their own way through the music industry, they have been a highly successful (though accident-prone) rival, cutting their way through the much harder and edgier new wave music scene.

Music style
The music of the Misfits runs in complete opposite tangency to that of Jem and the Holograms. While the latter band's music generally cover topics such as love, tolerance, understanding and redemption, the Misfits' music typically revolves around ideas of selfishness and greed. To them, music is about personal success and the self-gratifying rewards it offers.

Members
The Misfits are a mix of characters whose personalities are quite varied, but generally follow the same brand of desire and deceit. The only possible exclusion to this is Stormer, who has on many opportunities displayed herself to be of a much kinder and softer nature.

They are led by Pizzazz, an almost entirely mean-spirited woman whose desire to make it to the top of the charts and achieve fame and fortune makes it clear that, in her mind, there is only room for one victor, and that is the Misfits.

Roxy is a mix of good and bad, sometimes Stormer gets nice influence on her but then Pizzazz come along and Roxy is always there to support her evil Plans.

Jetta is a mythomaniac (she loves to say lies) about her great lifestyle on the old continet, is a really selfish person and is a new addition to Misfits providing a great new sound with her Saxophone
