Freaky Fashion, Mild Mind/Playing With

Basic Trope: A character's personality is at odds with their wild appearance.
 * Straight: Sherry looks like a wild biker chick, what with her love for black leather, hip-hugging shorts/skirts, long mane of hair, and so on. Despite her appearance, however, she's actually quite calm and friendly.
 * Exaggerated: People take one look and give Sherry a wide berth, since she looks like an absolute hellion who'd gleefully kill anyone who looked at her sideways. Truthfully, however, she's actually a painfully shy Fragile Flower.
 * Justified:
 * Sherry is incredibly shy, so she puts on a deliberately scary appearance so she will be left alone.
 * Sherry is naturally shy but wants to be more outgoing, so dresses the part in an attempt to become more expressive.
 * Inverted: Sherry's wardrobe is nondescript, but her fashion choice belies a wild, downright dangerous personality.
 * Subverted: Sherry's wears crazy clothes and pretends to be nice. But is really wild
 * Double Subverted: ...However, this is revealed to be a massive act Sherry puts on.
 * Parodied: Sherry's outfit of choice is a prison jumpsuit. She's an Evangelical minister.
 * Zig Zagged: Sherry wears black, heavy makeup, and spikes, but she's quiet and rarely talks. But it turns out that you caught her when she had the flu. Usually, she's cranky, loud, and obnoxious. Except it's all an act...or is it? Also, her choice in clothes varies. When she's around her family, she's ridiculously conservative. When she's with her friends, she's back to her old goth/punk fashion.
 * Averted: A person clothes can give you a good guess on their personality.
 * Deconstructed: People's judgmentalism about Sherry's clothes cause her to forget who she really is so she can live up to their expectations...
 * Reconstructed: ...but she realizes what's happening to her and figures she can have whatever personality she wants to regardless of what people think.
 * Enforced: Sherry was introduced to teach viewers an Aesop about not judging a book by its cover.
 * Lampshaded: ???
 * Invoked: Sherry deliberately dresses wildly in order to repel others, not wanting to deal with people who would shallowly judge her based on her appearance.
 * Exploited: Sherry uses her wild way of dressing to intimidate people who mistreat her friends and family.
 * Defied: Sherry dresses in a muted way to suit her calm and friendly personality.
 * Discussed: ???
 * Conversed: ???
