Roxanne Pellegrini, better known by her stage name Roxy, is a secondary antagonist from the 1985 animated series Jem. She is the tough-as-nails bassist of the The Misfits.
She is voiced by Samantha Paris.
Personality and Interest[]
Roxy is portrayed to be the toughest member of The Misfits. She is mean to everyone, except the occasional friendly/nice child like Ba Nee (later even coming to her farewell party).
When she first met Jetta she quickly developed a disliking of her and has a habit of even badmouthing Pizzazz and Eric Raymond. Despite the fact she shares a lot of similarities with Pizzazz, they tend to argue on occasion and is shown to be closer to Stormer.
It was revealed that she is illiterate in the episode "Roxy Rumbles", when she quits the band and tries to turn her life back around before she's convinced to rejoin. This was hinted at in earlier episodes when she refused to do any reading, such as Kimber's journal.

Trivia[]
- She is of Italian descent.
- In the first episode, Roxy makes a unflattering remark towards Holograms' member Aja's driving skills, which is now considered racist because its connotations to the negative "Asian Drivers" stereotype (which took off in late 90s/early 00s). This can be partly excused as this stereotype was not as widespread nor frowned upon in the 1980s as it was later.
