Duchess

[fosters home fan]

I'll say this, but I want to see a bit more Duchess in the 5th season. I'm sure we'll catch her at least once. "Duchess of Wails" was one of my overall favorite episodes.

That's one of my favorite episodes, too!


Anyways, I think Duchess is kinda funny. I want to see her in upcoming episodes, too. I think it's hilarious how she's literally 2-D!!! hahahaha! I wonder who her creator was...

Count me in among those who wonder what kind of kid envisioned Duchess and her paper-thin Cubist self. Speaking of paper-thin, it would be hilarious if the Paper Mario series also had that sort of a character.

I'm really curious as to who created Duchess as well. The one thing I love about her is that she's paper-thin.

I'd like to know what her age is. I've always assumed she's one of the older IF's in the house, but how old is she really? Is she somewhere near Mr. Herriman's age, or despite her appearance is she actually much younger?

[Shelltoon]

Well, Duchess was there with Herriman, and Uncle Pockets in the first annual photo, but that doesn't really help determine her age. If I had to take a guess on the matter, she's probably around the same age as Herriman.

I'm not the first to suggest this, but she could be older still...

[cartman414]

Kind of curious, but how tall is Duchess? She towers over Eduardo.

Duchess is obviously based on the works of artist Pablo Picasso from his "Classisist/Synthetic Cubism/Surrealist" period, from the late 1920's through WWII, so she would have probably been created, probably in Europe, sometimes within that time frame, or shortly afterwards. Her accent is definately Eastern European. I've had this theory that she and her creator were separated by the invading Nazi troops, and perhaps she witnessed quite a few horrors, which could account for her nastiness. It's a defense mechanism borne of bitterness.

I'd love to see Duchess and Poker guy (Jack of Spades from Adoptcalypse) get together for some serious 2-D romance.

[Lynnie]

Ah hahahaha! Yeah, because they're both paper thin. Poker Buddy so much so he could be slid right under the door. Duchess though does seem to have some depth to her though. Maybe like origami or something? Hmm, I dunno, she just always did have that weird structure to her, but it's hard to imagine how exactly that is.

Hmm, I dunno, she just always did have that weird structure to her, but it's hard to imagine how exactly that is.

When Duchess was first imagined, she had 3-Dness and a full body, then the creator (or family of) got so sick of her, and before finding out about Foster's, they smashed Duchess flat inside their largest atlas book and kept her in the attic. That's my theory.

[Lynnie]

LOL!! Yeah!

Wish she could have stayed there. I wonder how she got out. Perhaps when they were moving to another house or something, and the book dropped and fell open. She escaped, and the world (and Foster's) would never be the same again.

[Frankie_4_Prez]

I really hope the writers could officially end my speculation about Duchess past, present, and future in this last season. Despite being very annoying, she is IMO an interesting character, with all her devious plans (House of Bloo's), trap door (Dinner is Swerved, now THERE's a secret door Bloo didn't really like!), and I have yet to watch Duchess of Wails (I hear it's a great episode.)

Of course, there's also the theory that WORLD WAR II IS DUCHESS' FAULT.

According to Jackie, the first World War is WILT'S fault, so he'd probably blame Wilt for the second one, too!
