Descriptions
"A veteran of the tour circuit, Rocker's dirty, bass-driven sound and ultra-heavy riffs have influenced budding shredders from Maine to Alaska. She's tough, she's brash, and she'll break your heart faster than an A string."—Guitar Hero II in-game bio.
"Finally embracing her feminine appeal, Casey has risen to the status of 'Goddess of Rock'. When asked by a reporter if she had sold out, Casey replied with a roundhouse to the face. 'Don't worry, I'll pay the medical bill.'"
"Casey has always led the charge towards innovative new sounds and style. Move over, sliced bread because this year, two words: Burlesque Rock."—Guitar Hero 5 in-game bio.
"An intricate blend of southern-flavored boogie and California pop suffuses the elegant brew that is Casey Lynch's masterpiece recording of 2009. Casey breathes new fresh guitar stylings and breathy Texan vocals."—Band Hero in-game bio.
"Maybe Casey's face looks out of place in the space station, but sales of her single 'Lazy Days in Lace' paid for her to trace her name across the sky".—Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, human form description.
"Casey's guitar is ready to spit poison, yet sounds sweeter now than ever before, courtesy of master luthier McSwain."—Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, Warrior/Spirit form description.
Appearances and Outfits
Guitar Hero II
Shirts

Casey's default outfit has her dressed in blue leather pants and jacket with her long dirty blonde hair with bangs. Under the jacket, she wears a bra with the Confederate flag imprinted, though with inverted colors (red where it should be blue and vice-versa).
Skins
Casey's look is designed for backbreaking life on the road; if she can't pass out in the van wearing it, she's not interested."—Shop description.
In this outfit, she does not wear her jacket. Instead, she wears a black bra, tight camouflage pants and her hair is red and denser than in her default outfit and sporting several tattoos.
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock
Leather
Casey Lynch's basic outfit is similar to her "Skins" outfit in the previous game. She is shown with straightened blonde hair with her bangs now sideswept, a bra top, a crucifix-like necklace, leather pants emblazoned with handgun decorations on both sides, a belt, and high-heeled boots. Her "Electric" midriff tattoo from Guitar Hero II remains intact. In Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, her outfit is called "Jeans."
Like the other characters in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, this outfit has four color schemes with a few differences between each.
- Basic Black: Casey's default costume. Her armband, wristbands, bra, belt, and pants are all plain black.
- Silver 'N Black: Casey's hair is dyed black. Her armband, wristbands, pants, and bra straps are silver instead of black. In this outfit, black handguns are emblazoned on the sides of her pants (as opposed to white).
- Crimson: Casey's hair is blonde with red streaks and wears black lipstick. Her bra and pants are red, and she wears white studded belt as opposed to black in the other costumes.
- Camo: Identical to the Basic Black uniform in most ways. Her pants are forest camouflaged with a blue stud belt. No handgun designs on pants.
Mo' Leather

Casey attempts to show her softer side the only way she knows... by putting on more leather."—Shop description.
Casey Lynch's secondary costume generally shows her with her blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail that wraps around her neck resembling a noose, with several armbands, a black choker necklace, a half-sleeve on her left arm, and a glove on her right hand. As opposed to her first outfit, she has a leather top that covers most of her upper body and midriff tattoo, buckled skin-tight leather pants, and knee-high boots with high heels. She bears a shocking resemblance to Trish from the Devil May Cry series. In Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, her outfit was simply called "Leather."
- Black 'N Red: This outfit is mainly black with red high-heeled boots.
- Black 'N White: Casey's armbands, top, and boots are white while the glove is grey. The rest of the outfit is black.
- Vast Purple: This outfit shows Casey with a purple top, armbands, glove, boots, a dark purple streak in her hair, and light purple pants.
- Fiery: As opposed to her other outfits, Casey's hair is bright red/orange in this outfit. Her top, bottoms of her boots, and armbands have flame designs on them. In the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC versions, she loses her right-hand glove (as seen in the picture), but she keeps it on in the Wii and PlayStation 2 versions.
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith
In the second trailer, Casey is very clearly seen in another variation of her Mo' Leather costume, but with a gray top, tan boots, and dark pants. She can also be seen in her variation of her Basic Leather attire. In some of her outfits Casey's dirty blonde hair is like a ginger type color in that of a cat.
Guitar Hero World Tour
Casey's default outfit in Guitar Hero World Tour is a black bikini top underneath a sleeveless denim vest with a choker wrapped around her neck, the same pants she wore from her Leather attire in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock', hi-tops and her dirty blonde hair is put up into a ponytail.

Guitar Hero: Smash Hits
Casey's World Tour model is reused in Guitar Hero: Smash Hits but she wears her default outfit from Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Her dirty blonde hair is down and has a few flips in the front and she wears a bra top, leather pants, high heel boots, and wristbands which are all black. She also appears as the singer in the cutscenes of the game.
Guitar Hero 5
Casey's four outfits in Guitar Hero 5 feature a Burlesque Rock appearance as said in her in-game bio. In most of her outfits, she sports short hair as usual, and her look is similar to her look in GHIII. Some of her outfits can only be unlocked after beating a corresponding challenge.
Daredevil: Casey's default look features her hair in a bob cut, a black zip-up corset underneath jean jacket with studs and designs on both sleeves, choker, a studded bracelet, buckled boots, white pants with studs and a black studded belt with a buckle that has two guns facing towards each other.
Sharpshooter:
Flying Trapeze:
Monochrome Maiden: This outfit can be unlocked after beating So Lonely by The Police on Platinum with vocals. Casey wears a see thru blue mesh midriff top underneath a dark top, a loose necklace with a silver choker, a fingerless glove with bracelets on her right hand and a wristband not only on her arm but it's also taped to her left hand and left fingers, and white creepers. Her pants are long with a racing stripe on both sides along with studs attached to the stripes, white belt with circles is also attached to the pants with white suspenders being loose and attached to the belt. Although her hair is similar to her Daredevil attire, this time Casey's hair is a little bit longer and layered than sporting a bob cut.
Guitar Hero: Van Halen
Casey wears her default outfit from Guitar Hero World Tour.
Band Hero
Electric Melrose: In Band Hero, Casey has the four costumes from GH5, but by default, as a more pop-oriented costume, she wears a sleeveless waistcoat with pictures of fashion models with red lipstick, checkered, partly torn trousers with red high heeled sandals and has her hair done up somewhat similar to Eddie Knox.
