Mememememe borrowed from [livejournal.com profile] stackcats:

Pick a character and I will give and explain the top five ideas/concepts/etc I keep in mind while writing that character that I believe are essential to accurately depicting them. Any and all characters welcome - even ones I haven't written but you think I know about.

THE INTERNETS ARE BEING BORING. ENTERTAIN ME.

- OBSESSION. She has two obsessions - clothing, and herself - and everything she does revolves around them.
- Speed. Everything about Edna is done in at least triple time, ESPECIALLY her speech.
- Her height. At between three and three-and-a-half feet tall, her entire worldview is very different to nearly everyone else's.
- She's from a cartoon - and a superhero cartoon at that. Her ideas on physics are not exactly realistic, but at the same time it is all perfectly normal for her - especially if it's for a sight gag.
- Visuals. Everything about Edna deals with visuals - sight gags, what she sees around her, what she does (rather than what she thinks, because everything she thinks, she says) and the things she makes.
