Pandora is a main character from the Guitar Hero series, first introduced in Guitar Hero. She later reappeared in Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s with an 80s style look but was removed from Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, as her features were mixed with those of Judy Nails. She consistently represents the goth genre in all her appearances, albeit with Nu Metal inclinations in the first game and a Modern Rock/Emo setlist in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock.

Descriptions[]

"Pandora - the Dark Princess of Rock. Expelled from ballet at 8, and forcibly removed from Girl Scouts at 10, she was given a guitar as a last resort. She soon emerged as a brilliant guitarist with a strong distaste for pastel colors. While in school she formed the band Haze Machine, which showcased her stunning guitar prowess. She started a collection of stomp boxes, which now numbers in the hundreds, and includes dozens customized just for her. She markets her own - the aptly named Pandora's Box - which "unleashes a hoard of demons and pestilence" when engaged. According to Pandora she graduated from the University of Alienation - with honors. Major label interest and endorsements have propelled her talents and her current band Infection into the spotlight. And while Pandora prefers the dark, she'll take the fame."
—Manual bio
"The Girl Scouts didn't want her, the ballet school couldn't handle her, but the world can't get enough of Pandora's awesome playing! She plays fast and wild, and Ubersound Magazine recently dubbed her the Dark Princess of Rock."
—In-game description
"Pandora's kick-ass guitar chops have propelled her into the spotlight, though she says she prefers the shadows. Her collection of vintage and custom stomp boxes is unmatched, and earns her as much press as her amazing talent."
—In-game description (beta version)

"Pandora's youth is shrouded in mystery. Some say she was born in a dimension of pure darkness. Others say she was raised in a duplex near Boise. With her blazing solos and chaotic melodies, Pandora is the true Dark Princess of Rock.
—In-game description.

"Enigmatic and experimental, Pandora is a true trendsetter. Asked about her incomparable new wave guitar style, Pandora explains that her solos are tributes to the radness of robots and plastic.
—In-game description.

"The girl scouts didn't want her, the ballet school couldn't handle her, but the world can't get enough of her. The Dark Princess of Rock is back and better than ever."
—In-game description (altered from her original in-game description).

"Pandora's finger calluses have been pulling double-duty as she's been designing not only new fretting techniques, but sewing her own wild costumes."
—In-game description.

"As a child, Pandora owned a Victorian dollhouse. Recently, she had a full scale replica built. It has wind and smoke machines installed along with permanent moonlight streaming through the cobwebbed windows."
—In-game description.

"Pandora is the princess of goth. When she was a kid, she told a ghost story so scary that she was kicked out of the girl scouts and earned a merit badge for creeping people out. Her path to the dark side was complete when she got her first guitar, which she named "Ms. Screams". Pandora lures in large crowds and then opens up a storm of dark guitar wailing, sick chords, and pestilence."
—In-game description.

"Queen of the underground goth scene, Pandora comes out at night to rock unsuspecting crowds. Her music makes your nightmares come true. Her bone chilling riffs and gutwrenching solos make crowds scream for more. Don't listen to her music when you're alone, and never look directly into her eyes."
—In-game description.

"Pandora soars on tour with her store of sensational songs, scoring points with pundits, punters and players.
—Human form description
"Brightly wise, Pandora is risen ready to rock the world with her mighty elfin sword; all shall fall before her.
