I've stolen this thread from the Melbourne forum because I thought it was cool (yeah, so....? whatcha gonna do about it Melbourne?!)
What are your characters theme songs? (not necessarily the music you're listening to when you're writing, but a song that somehow encapsulates you character in mood, or subject etc)
I've only really gotten to know my MC at this point. Her name's Ayla and her theme song is "The Wind" by PJ Harvey.

I don't have any character theme songs yet, but the theme song for my book is Teenagers by My Chemical Romance, simply for the fact that my novel is about teenage Gods in high school :D

Heh. That's kind of an easy one for me.
----------For my male lead, "Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ye", a traditional Irish folk song. This one's a pretty easy one, considering that my novel takes its title from this song. There's more traditional recordings of the song, but this one kinda rocks.
