[Maya Mills]

oh my god this is the perfect Winn song you have no idea

[Miranda Weaver]

It's probably entirely too obvious, but the song is really pretty, so, for the Sloan girls.

Vivienne

[Veronica Freud]

As much as I wish this song applied to Victor... it's about Ryan..

[Nailah Weaver]

More Sloan Sisters.

[Gemma Sloan]

Specifically for Gemma (and a warning to Trev?): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2OD-dV7j_I

[Theresa McMasters]

While not directly applicable, this has always been my go-to inspiration song for Theresa for reasons I've never quite understood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XQ1FB3Rz0g

It just always makes me think of her. Even to the point that Theresa's IC raid team was named "Daughters of Darkness".

So apparently Laura left school to start a band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_S9VvJM1PI

[Melissa Castro]

Pretty much every student at XI can probably relate to this video in some way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRfuAukYTKg

More specifically, this was the video I was looping while I was brainstorming/writing up Melissa.

I don't know that this video/song has ever been more apropos than during the current plot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmkHqUwa4zg

The Hellfire Club summed up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0NlXKPaqZg

So, not really music videos, but I've been thinking about my characters a lot lately in terms of music. Each one tends to live in my head right next to a particular artist or group of artists. Some of these are no shock, of course, but here goes:

Theresa: Halestorm - Lzzy was the original inspiration for a lot of Theresa's aesthetic, so this is probably a surprise to no one.
Melissa: Fall Out Boy - Especially their more recent stuff from American Beauty/American Psycho and Save Rock And Roll. She feels more Pop Rock in general attitude.
Allison: AC/DC - Really most "Classic Rock" would fit her. I tend to dip into AC/DC, Scorpions, Guns N' Roses, and such when I need to get into Allison's headspace.
Gemma: Ed Sheeran - Ed Sheeran's "I See Fire" is an obvious go-to, but his "Thinking Out Loud" touches on Gemma's sappiness and sweetheart nature. And if I'm honest, his duet with Hoodie Allen, "All About It", isn't bad for putting me in her head space either.

Miranda: The Pretty Reckless- Much like the character, she's as hard to pin down in music as she was in actual execution. I'm going to have to go with what usually put me in her headspace though and that's The Pretty Reckless. Which might have been part of the problem.

I sort of imagine this playing in the background of Theresa's Danger Room simulation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3ny9UCsvmY
