Susie Rockett

A rude, sarcastic punk who never grew out of her rebellious teenager phase. With a hoarse but well-trained voice, she sings and strums her heart out as the guitarist of the Rockett duo.

The life of a rockstar isn’t easy; the whole world is your enemy, including your annoying fans who love you a lot.

• Punk rock is Susie’s musical designation of choice, but her taste encapsulates multiple categories of rock music. They include alternative rock, post-punk, and gothic rock.
  • She prefers more modern and experimental rock music - her own way of rebelling against her mother and rock icon Joan Rockett, who enjoys older genres such as heavy rock.
• Outside of art, music, and a little bit of English, Susie did horribly in school.
  • Her first argument is how much trouble she got into with other students; she was a loner and target of bullies, so much of her time in school was fighting with her peers.
  • Her second argument is that homework is for nerds.
• Idol and controversial musician Mililani Gardner reached out to Susie when her music career was just beginning. He lent her his musical expertise, as well as his knowledge of performance, touring, and branding. She begrudgingly agrees that she couldn’t have made it this far without his help, but she holds firm her dislike of him, his music, and his industry.
• St. Steel, the city where she made her musical debut and would later make her home, was the inspiration for her Color Code. She had previously experimented with different shades of pinks and purples.
• Once apathetic and bitter to the state of the world, Susie only became a hardcore activist when she learned to channel her anger towards specific issues. It also helped her find communities and like-minded people.
  • She likes to join riots impromptu as an excuse to wreak havoc. For a cause.
  • It is unknown the extent of her political beliefs, as much of her knowledge is surface-level. She isn’t very articulate and likes to go with her gut most of the time.
• Named after one of Joan’s teachers, Susie would cycle through different names in her adolescence before eventually - and reluctantly - returning to what she was given. Joan was too happy to say ‘I told you so’.
• Ever the opportunist when it comes to body horror, Susie loves using her Value just to scare people. She doesn’t mind scratching her hand if suddenly detaching it and chucking it at someone gets them to scream.
  • Splitting her head from her body is the most difficult trick, but she usually thinks it’s worth it.
• Due to her status as an independent artist, Susie lacks a corporate manager and general restrictions that would force censorship in her songs. She has gotten in legal trouble with The Synesthetic Program specifically, accusing them of unethically capitalizing off of people’s desperation.
• Music has always been an armor she crafted to protect herself. Before she started writing her own songs, she would lose herself in music all the time. Most of her songs are filled with impassioned yelling, and she encourages her listeners to use them as a means of venting and self-defense as well.
  • ‘Never Fallen in Love’ is about a relationship from the perspective of someone who only hurts their smitten partner. The singer asks the listener if they’ve ‘never’ fallen in love like them, since if they truly felt love, the relationship would never involve such pain.
  • ‘The Adults Were All Right’ focuses on the disillusionment of growing up. It features several different ambitious children who end up struggling, miserable, or dead. The singer emphatically states that adults who temper hopes of the young were right all along in such a cruel world.
  • ‘Metal Girl’ talks about an intense, confident girl whom everyone unfairly vilifies. The singer shouts to the world that they hold this girl in the highest esteem, calling her their best friend and inspiration.
• According to Joan, Susie was PICKED UP LIKE A STRAY. She was found in Peru on one of her band’s tours, listening to their performances unattended (which is against the rules). Joan went out of her way to investigate and found that the child had run away from home. Feeling her black heart grow a few sizes larger, the musician would negotiate for a formal adoption.
  • Susie initially put up quite a fight. Only through copious tour snacks did she let her guard down.
• Clothes must be ripped through genuine wear and tear. Her pride won’t allow her to buy pre-ripped fashion.
• Her non-artistic hobbies (and talents, she brags) include playing video games, picking apart monster movies, and stealing food from other people.
• Innate aggression leads to violence as a first resort. Susie usually trusts what she wants before thinking.
  • She prizes the thrill of domination over any spilled blood, avoiding any violence that leads to anything seriously fatal. However, that won’t stop her from throwing out morbidly descriptive threats.
• Notable collaborators include keyboardist Berenike Gucciardo and bass guitarist Maura Hunter. Initially, drummer Stella Rockett was intended to fill a temporary role, but Susie now refuses to perform without her.
• Even though she spares her audience no mercy, she is undoubtedly loved. She does her best to deflect any affection she receives with even more rudeness and crudeness, bemoaning her idiot fans. Sometimes, she wishes she were as controversial as other popular musicians.
