~ Stormer to Kimber in The Bands Break Up |
Mary Phillips, better known by her stage name, Stormer, is the youngest member of The Misfits. She plays the keytar and writes most of their music.
She was voiced by Susan Blu.
History
While most of Stormer's personal history remains unknown, she and her brother Craig grew up in a very loving household. Before she joined The Misfits, she was struggling to make it as a musician. Pizzazz found her and she joined The Misfits. Pizzazz gave her the stage name "Stormer".
Appearance
Stormer has long, curly, cobalt blue hair that she adorns with an orange flower. Her makeup consists of three orange streaks on her left cheek, a small lightning bolt on her right, and wears red lipstick and green eyeshadow. She is usually seen wearing an asymmetrical pink shirt with a strip of zebra print fabric along the top, along with a black pencil skirt. She wears a black studded armband on her right arm, wears fishnets and black stilettos. Her appearance in the animated series is virtually the same, with the exception of her hair being longer and less curly.
Personality
Stormer is shown to be very sensitive and kind, unlike the other members of The Misfits. She goes along with most of the plots to upstage and sabotage Jem, but will voice her concern if she thinks that they are getting out of hand. In the episode Frame Up, Eric Raymond and The Misfits have their goons steal the concert's ticket money and frame Jem. Right as Jem is about to be taken away by the police, a mysterious, cloaked woman appears and says that she can prove that Jem is innocent. This woman turns out to be Stormer in disguise, who did not want Jem to go to jail for a crime she didn't commit.
Stormer takes a lot of abuse from her fellow Misfits. In the episode The Bands Break Up, she became frustrated with the other Misfits and quit the band after they made fun of her for wanting them to be more serious about her newest song. She will often say something sweet and kind, and the other Misfits will stare at her until she corrects herself.
Relationships
Craig
Stormer and Craig have a very good brother-and-sister relationship. He is very protective of her, as shown in The Talent Search (Part 2). When Stormer asks Craig to find out Jem's real identity through Aja because The Misfits have threatened to kick her out, he threatened Eric Raymond and the other Misfits, and tells them that if they don't start treating his sister better, they'll have to deal with him. In the episode Britrock, at the airport, Stormer catches a taxi to see Craig, despite the other Misfits insisting that she comes with them.
Kimber
In the episode The Bands Break Up, after Stormer leaves The Misfits, she meets Kimber at a club called The Scene and they perform the song "I'm Okay" using Stormer's music and Kimber's lyrics. After witnessing their unexpected success, they decide to team up and release their own music. Jerrica and Pizzazz think that Stormer and Kimber are bad influences on each other, but Kimber and Stormer prove to be loyal friends and a good team. They weren't able to finish the album by themselves, though, so Jerrica helped them release their album under the Starlight Music label, which proves to be a huge success, and by the end she extends an offer to Stormer to join The Holograms, although Stormer, while grateful, respectfully declines seeing how The Misfits need her more. After Stormer returns to The Misfits, she and Kimber maintain their friendship throughout the rest of the series.
Ashley
Stormer was friends with Ashley very early in the series. They first met when Ashley joined The Misfits entourage in Kimber's Rebellion, and bonded over their mutual fear of Pizzazz and Roxy. When Eric and The Misfits kidnapped Ashley and put her in a trunk, Stormer tried to save her, only to be caught by the other Misfits. Together, she and Ashley teamed up to prove Jem's innocence when she was framed for stealing ticket money from a show in Las Vegas. When The Misfits found out that The Holograms were using the money from the Starbright movie to pay for a Starlight Girl's eye operation (Ba Nee), Stormer's first response was "Which little girl?", worrying that the girl getting the operation was Ashley.
