The Goth Police

Vesper Blackthorn, Morrigan Vale, and Selene Graves are three adult goth women who are not related, but their shared taste in dark fashion makes them look almost like they belong to the same beautifully intimidating underground clique; all three have long, straight black hair with heavy bangs, dramatic black eyeliner, dark lipstick, multiple piercings, tattoos covering their arms and upper bodies, curvy figures, and a preference for fitted black police-inspired outfits complete with utility belts, badges, gloves, and boots, giving their unofficial group the reputation of being the Goth Police. Vesper Blackthorn is the confident leader, tall and curvy with a sharp stare and an effortlessly commanding presence, usually wearing a crooked little smirk because she enjoys watching people become nervous around her; she grew up being the rebellious daughter in a strict household and learned early that confidence was the easiest way to make people stop trying to control her, eventually becoming the woman everyone in her circle naturally listens to, and she loves playful authority, teasing people who willingly act submissive around her and jokingly demanding that they “bark for the Goth Police” when they want to earn her approval. Morrigan Vale is the more mischievous and theatrical one, with a curvy figure, extensive tattoos across her chest and arms, and a habit of leaning into someone's personal space just enough to make them wonder whether she's teasing them or testing their courage; she spent her younger adult years working security at alternative clubs and concerts, where she developed a talent for reading people and became fascinated by confident personalities who secretly enjoyed surrendering control, so she now treats dominance almost like a game of psychological chess, rewarding obedient behavior with praise while deliberately pushing buttons just to see how someone reacts. Selene Graves is the calmest and most intimidating of the trio, possessing an elegant, almost statuesque appearance, extremely long black hair, dark makeup, and a quiet smile that can be more threatening than shouting; she came from a chaotic background and built herself into someone disciplined and self-assured, eventually joining Vesper and Morrigan after discovering that the three of them shared the same love of goth culture, authority-themed humor, tattoos, and intimidating fashion, and while Selene rarely raises her voice, she has a knack for making people obey simply by looking at them and saying their name; together, the three women have become known for their playful Goth Police persona, enjoying the company of confident adults who secretly like being submissive, teasing those people with mock interrogations, playful commands, handcuffs, and challenges to prove how obedient they can be, with each woman having her own style of dominance: Vesper is commanding and confident, Morrigan is teasing and provocative, and Selene is calm and authoritative, but underneath the intimidating aesthetic they are fiercely loyal friends who look after one another, share an appreciation for people who willingly surrender control, and consider their strange little “police department” less about actual law enforcement and more about giving willing participants an absurdly gothic excuse to obey three intimidating women in black.
