Panty & Stocking

Panty & Stocking are the two titular main protagonists of the anime & manga series of the same name. They are two polar opposite trash-talking girls who are actually angels from Heaven, they were sent to Earth to hunt for Ghosts.
Panty was voiced by Arisa Ogasawara in Japanese and Jamie Marchi in English. Stocking was voiced by Mariya Ise in Japanese and Monica Rial in English.
==Appearance==
=== Panty ===
Panty is a blonde haired girl who transforms her panties into a blue-and-white gun. She can do this with any pair of underwear, sometimes making unsatisfactory weapons, so generally uses her own. Her signature style is a red dress with matching red shoes, but her outfits change throughout the episodes.
=== Stocking ===
Stocking is a goth-type girl with long blue hair an a few pink stripes. She wears gothic-style dresses, and always wears her signature blue-and-black stockings. The stockings transform into Stripes I & II, blue and white katanas, and generally she only uses one. She carries around a kitten named Honekoneko (Bone Kitten) whose expression matches her own.
==Personality==
===Panty===
Panty is obsessed with sex and has it as much as she can. She is often portrayed as a celebrity blonde and is always looking for different men to sleep with. Panty can also be spiteful at times (mainly at Brief, Garterbelt, and sometimes Stocking). She has low standards in men and is occasionally shown to be unsatisfied after the act. Unlike her younger sister Stocking, Panty doesn't take her job as a ghost-hunter seriously. Instead, she focuses on fulfilling her personal goal of having sex with one thousand men during her stay on Earth. Panty openly admits during one episode that Stocking is the more intelligent sister, and doesn't always appear to think her thoughts through before acting (such as showing a porno she made in a theater). Stocking is rather rude and provoked toward Panty due to her sexual behavior and craziness. Panty isn't very fond of sweets, just as Stocking is not interested in sex.
Panty is the personification of the deadly sin Lust in the series, which is emphasized by the number of times she has sex throughout the series, and by the X-ray of her brain during the opening sequence, which shows her only thoughts are about both men and sex. Panty is also quite shameless, not caring when some broadcasters were able to see (and record) her panty-less, and even going as far as pole dancing in front of an audience, while on a live show. She also didn't see the problem with everyone seeing a porno she was in; instead she just saw it as a regular movie.
Panty jogs to maintain her figure, and she is annoyed that Stocking doesn't have to exercise to be slender. Panty likes spicy food in general, and mentions disliking sugar (although she has been seen eating sweets throughout the series and she even ate Stocking's Jean-Paul Heaven pudding in Catfight Club). She also mentions that being hungry causes her to swear more often than usual. Her favorite snack is Death Babanero-flavored potato chips and she has shown a great fondness for living a celebrity lifestyle.
Whenever Panty hunts ghosts, she works in an incautious way. She often takes the more reckless route, using pure power to finish the job. However, this style of fighting has caused her to be wide open for attacks, including losing her panties in the heat of the moment and forcing her to improvise with either using normal weapons or other underwear.
===Stocking===
Stocking is a levelheaded and intelligent girl, though she can be rude if provoked, especially towards her older sister, Panty. Stocking also possesses a cynical, cold and sardonic demeanor.
She does not share Panty's obsession with dicks. She shows interest in somewhat masochistic sexual ideas (though as sexuality is not an important part of her personality, any potential fetishes change her character very little). This is ironic since she constantly insults the demon sisters and Corset, by calling them 'BDSM loving freaks'. Instead, Stocking claims she has very special standards in men, and would rather be with someone she truly loves than simply for sex. She strings men along (not wanting them to believe she is 'easy'), and would never cheat on someone she truly loves. However, she has been shown to have a very strange and twisted vision of what attractive is, but she also seems to judge people by what's on the inside instead of out.
She hates spicy food, just as much as Panty hates sweet food,She can be mean as well with Brief . Stocking is sometimes overshadowed by Panty when in larger audiences, like in "Sex and the Daten City" and "1 Angry Ghost". She is almost always seen carrying around a plush cat, Honekoneko ("Bone Kitten"), whose expressions often match Stocking's mood. She loves Honekoneko dearly and won't let anyone touch him. she is often referred to as a big boobed angel warrior hottie. and many men and even some women are attracted to her. although as much as she is a beautiful angel goddess she has very poor taste in men.
It has been shown in Les Diaboliques that while she is smarter than Panty and has more common sense, she is not very intelligent as she was easily overwhelmed by the big sophisticated words used by Scanty and Kneesocks.

==Trivia==
*Panty's design, while in art shift mode, was most likely based off of Miki Hoshii, from The Idolmaster.
*Due to public popularity, Panty portrays "Peerlessly pour public 'preciators, plus proposes publishing" in "Sex and the Daten City".
*During the lingerie run in "High School Nudical", Panty's contestant number was 69.
*In "If the Angels Wore Swimsuits", it was implied Panty's ears are an erogenous zone.
*After recovering her virginity in "Bitch Girls", Brief became her number 1000, and also her first.
*Hypocritcally, though Panty is an angel, her near personification of the sin lust and often doing things with no regard at all to her surroundings, (especially when hunting ghosts) makes her also quite a catalyst for chaos. Though the demon sisters ultimate goal is this, they cannot stand either Anarchy sister.
*In the first comic, Panty makes a pose similar to the infamous "pierce the heavens" pose from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, another anime made by Gainax.
*Panty is firmly reminiscent of Ami Onuki from Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi.
*Stocking's appearance and theme may be based off of Marie from Marie & Gali; in which Marie is also a girl who enjoys food, has a plushie animal, and wears gothic lolita styled clothing.
*Stocking also shares a similar color scheme and hairstyle to Feli from the Puyo Puyo series, and a similar hairstyle to Patchouli Knowledge from the Touhou series.
*In "Catfight Club", Stocking admitted to sleeping with one of Panty's guys (the gym rat).
*She likes cute things, like the Cowper.
*Stocking has always worn a corset, which just happens to be the name of the demon sisters' boss, whom she joined at the end of "Bitch Girls: 2 Bitch".
*In the show, goths, emos and other type of people in the same vein seemed to like Stocking better than Panty, as seen in Sex and the Daten City.
*It is said that many male fans prefer Stocking then Panty.
*Her cat toy can also be used as a flame thrower as seen in "If the Angels Wore Swimsuits".
*Stocking is firmly reminiscent of Yumi Yoshimura from Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi.
