Duchess

[Sparky]

I can see Bloo (and perhaps Mac) trying to connive her into slipping through a narrow opening or under a locked door in order to do/get something for him/them. That would be amusing.

Dag, that would be awesome to see in an episode, just to see the three of them in some kind of situation where they are forced to put aside past differences for only a moment and work together. (And no Duchess of Wails doesn't really count in that respect just for the simple fact that Duchess wasn't exactly a willing participant in Mac and Bloo's scheme in that episode.)

[DoubleLatte]

Which is exactly why Foster's needs her...every show needs that antagonist, the character everyone loves to hate. While I certainly wouldn't want to see her in large doses, a little bit of Duchess (no "t", consarn it) adds a little bit of conflict that makes the show more interesting. And unlike certain other unpleasant IFs who shall..erm...remain nameless, I don't get a feeling of maliciousness with Duchess. She's a royal pain in the you-know-what, but she can't help it...it's just who she is.

Exactly.

And, don't hate me, but when I first saw Duchess, I flinched a little at the uncanny resemblance between her and myself, in terms of bossing around and high maintenance, and dare I say it... maybe some narcissism. :3 The only reason I don't reach the heights of blatant rudeness like Duchess is because I have to restrain myself to be a likeable and civilized individual. But deep down, yeah, I probably would be a Duchess myself. I was her creator, in fact. ;p

Hey, at least I'm honest with myself, and the truth stings; particularly when someone else points that out to you.

You know it's odd but we haven't seen Duchess for a while. She's not my favorite character mind you, and she's down right ugly as sin, but I think they need to keep her around because she's still a decent reoccurring villain.

I think her voice suits her perfectly and it's one of the really great "evil" traits about her that I find so suiting for her character. After seeing Little Lincoln and the Space Nutboogies take over the house, Duchess could probably do the same.

[Cell_Phone_guy]

Since Little Lincoln sold all the imaginary friends in "Emancipation Complication" (except for Bloo and Herriman), he must of sold Duchess to someone as well. I wonder who would have bought her since hardly anyone took her for free! I also wonder how long before whoever bought her would want their money back!

[InsaneFan]

Yeah, I never thought of that!

...I think the Foster's crew killed her. xD

[xxelex]

i think she thinks she should be treated better than she is even if she is treated like a Queen

I'll second the call for more Duchess. She has good potential to be an awesome character, and yes, I think she can't help being such a......word I don't think I can say on this forum. Think about it, she has to have been freindly to at least ONE person, right? The girl (I'm assuming girl) who created her. I actually think they should cover her backstory this season. 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.

[Kzinistzerg]

Yeah, I'd like to know a bit roe about where she came from too. As is, she's a bit a of two-dimensional character.


*runs from the HORRIBLE pun*

Sorry! I couldn't resist.

[HappyFoppy]

Well, I think Duchess is a really funny personality. Without her, the show would be way more boring. I know she's mean to practically everyone, but I think every show, cartoon, videogame, whatever, needs a character that's like that. It bruises up the show, and I hope there's a bit of Duchess in S5 (or S6?)!

[Aly23]

I'd like to know a bit about where all the friends cam from. It would make them more understandable about how they act and everything.

I Don't like Duchess but i guess every show needs somebody like her. But she is funny, i'll give her that!

[AprilDawn]

I love Duchess! She is one of my favorite characters. I actually think she is a pretty (if you will) IF. Theres just something about her that makes me happy to see her on screen. I also like how she is flat or whatever. Its neat to see her turn. XD

[Ub3rD4n]

Yeah, that's the thing: She looks a bit groutesque when you first see her, but her appearance kinda grows on you. Now I can see that she really IS a work of art. (and of course, a peice of work. )

[One Radical Dude]

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.
