Inquiring minds want to know! Otherwise, the paper's'll just be filled with stories about Bloo!

I'd say that the closest Duchess has come to being friendly toward anybody else within the series was in ‘the Big Picture’, when she sets out to make Eduardo more photogenic. Naturally, she had entirely her own interests in mind, and used the scenario as a springboard to say some pretty darn hurtful things about Coco, but I found it refreshing nonetheless to see her more constructive side in action, whilst keeping her completely in character, and I’ll always hold the episode in high regard for it.
Yeah, I really like Duchess. She’s probably my third favourite of the major IFs, after Wilt and Coco. Her character design is simply awesome (I’m not averse to a little comical grotesquery - if I were, I wouldn’t take my daily bulletins from a
Twisted Whiskers calendar), and her snooty, acerbic demeanour is always good for laughs. I’d also be curious to learn a little about the kid who created her, and what kind of relationship they had. I don't recall seeing Duchess at the reunion in the GWH, which makes me wonder if they're still on speaking terms.
Nowadays, whenever I hear the song “Duchess” by Genesis, I have her evil-looking gaze and dainty little swagger bouncing around inside my head. I’d probably make a music video if I had the time, the patience and the expertise. But alas, I don’t.
