Duchess - Page 3 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Yeah, I never thought of that!

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

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.

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.

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 · 05-02-2007, 08:06 AM

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 · 05-02-2007, 07:14 PM

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 · 05-03-2007, 01:08 AM

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.

)

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.
