Computer Gothics

That's a long list of goth girls from cartoons. 
How about from C.G.I. cartoons? Yap, I found some.

Jacqueline and Delphine from Barbie: A Fashion Fairy Tale. You read it right. After those many pink and pretty Barbie films, there's one that has goths (as the villains that is). Jacqueline owns the fashion boutique across Millicent's. Jacqueline's edgy and savvy fashion (like that of hip goths and Alexader McQueen) caused it to go out of business, until Barbie came along and discovered the Flairies. Jacqueline actually doesn't want to be trendy; she wants to start the trends herself. As for Delphine, she's her preppy assistant and number-one fan. She goes along Jacqueline's evil schemes, but she's actually nice inside. They kidnapped the Flairies and forced them to do their magic on their new collection. To be honest I love her designs much more than Barbie's princessy outfits. Also, in this movie, it was Barbie's first time to be seen in black most of the time.

Lizzy from Meet the Robinsons. She was in the science fair with her pet fire ants which only harm her “enemies”. Wilbur Robinson bumped into her and her fire ants escaped, adding chaos in the science fair. When I saw the previews, I thought Lizzy’s going to be some goth sidekick or anti-hero, but her role actually in the movie is quite short. Yet, in the video game, she’s the main antagonist. She became the Ant Queen in the future with her gigantic pet ants which stole the time machine.

Vidia from Tinker Bell. Aside from Barbie, Tinker Bell has her own film series and books. Vidia is a Disney fairy but she's usually the anti-hero. But no, her power is not darkness or something like that. She's the fast-flying-talent fairy whose element is nature. She's the fastest one of them all and totally brags about it, thinking no one can reach her high level, especially Tinker Bell. She's very self-centered, cynical, independent and secretive. She hides pixie dusts and races dragonflies. She thinks all fairies aren't created equally but actually she's struggling in being a misfit. She's the loner one, living in a sour plum tree, away from the Home Tree. She was also suspected of stealing the Queen's crown in her own book Vidia and the Fairy Crown. 

Pig from Back at the Barnyard. The show is about talking and partying barnyard animals who uses disguises to get around humans in some episodes. In "Some Like It Snotty", Otis the Cow and the others (including Pig) wanted to attend ladies night in the bowling alley. So, they disguised themselves as girls. As for Pig, he used a goth girl outfit! Though they were hideous, Snotty Boy (their enemy) and his friends forced them on a date. Pig was paired to the emo boy and still retained his tough goth girl identity. He punched the emo kid when he started getting comfortable. Pig also used the same disguise briefly in "Doggelganer".
