This reminded me to put together a playlist for Rhostel. I often do that for my characters, just hadn't gotten around to her. 
No, I won't share the list, it has 124 songs currently, and I'm not sure it's finished.
Anyway, pared down that list to figure this out. Went with all Australian artists, because I can and it bloody well works. The singers all being female, though, was nothing but pleasant happenstance. There were certainly songs with male singers I considered, and they were eliminated for other reasons.
Also, I choose to interpret the thing about an anime theme to be a song to use in an AMV focusing on the character. Because that makes more sense than the literal.
Instrumental - Young Bodies Heal Quickly, Regurgitator
Unfortunately, I can't find a proper version of this to link. Hrrngh. There's a version with talking all over it and one from a gig in the middle of a long video on YouTube if you really want to get a listen, though.
Lyrical - The Start of War, Clare Bowditch & The New Slang

Can't explain it any better than the lyrics do themselves.
Musical - Cinders, Sarah Blasko

Picture her singing it around the middle of the period between EoA and ARR.
AMV - The Fight, Sia

It's a fighty song, but hopeful, upbeat and joyous! Oh yes we stand together!
