Sia
Sia Furler (professionally known as just Sia) is an Australian singer-songwriter. Her voice is soulful and has her trademark Australian drawl. As a person, Sia captures an innocence rarely seen in musicians today. She was dating JD Samson (from Le Tigre) from 2009 to 2011. The happiness from this relationship partially inspired the bright We Are Born. Also, Sia is suffering from Graves' disease, which caused her to cancel further promotion of We Are Born.

Sia provides examples of the following tropes:
- Album Title Drop: "The Fight" drops 'we are born'.
- Bi the Way
- Break Up Song: "The Girl You Lost to Cocaine" (falls into the 'relationship breakup' category).
- Cloudcuckoolander: As evidenced by her Twitter account. Her bio is "i am sia, i was born from the bumhole of a unicorn named steve." Also, Sia named one of her dogs "Turtle" because it's "so turtley."
- Creator Breakdown: Her “first true love” was run over and killed by a car. Of course, with a title like Healing is Difficult, Sia must have been through depressing times.
- Dream Team: Sia & Zero 7. Sia & Beck. Sia & Christina Aguilera
- Sia and David Guetta or Rihanna or Shia LaBeouf or Maddie Ziegler...
- Dye Hard: The cover of Healing Is Difficult reveals her brunette roots, meaning that her blonde hair is the product of bleaching.
- Lyrical Dissonance: At first, "Cloud" seems to be a happy, uplifting song. However, the lyrics are about a pessimistic jerk who enjoys messing things up for people because their own life is depressing.
- New Sound Album: Sia started out as downtempo/trip-hop. Her next two albums downplayed the electronic influences, and were more acoustic & mellow. We Are Born is essentially pop (but not in the vein of Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus etc.).
- 1000 Forms of Fear goes right into electropop territory.
- Self-Deprecation: "this is what you can expect from me at any given show."
- Signature Song: "Breathe Me", "Chandelier"
- Stylistic Suck: The alternative cover of Some People Have Real Problems looks like a child drew it on MS Paint.
- Signed Language: The video for "Soon We'll Be Found" features American Sign Language.
- Surprise Incest: "Butterflies" plays this on the listeners. It sounds like just a regular song about lingering awkwardness in a relationship, until the very last line right at the end of the song, when she casually remarks "Because we came from the same cocoon".
- Word Salad Lyrics: "Buttons"
