Ho boy. Time for ethnic-doppleganger Dora.
Is it cold in here?:
--- Quote from: DSL on 17 Feb 2011, 22:05 ---True, Padma's sassy and moderately abrasive, but there is (so far) a guileless-ness about her that's in direct contrast to Dora's snakiness. There was an air of belittling about Dora that was always at least subliminal. So far Padma seems to be much more of an "open" personality -- if a little tactless. Like her so far, tho'.
EDIT: OK, maybe not quite so much.

Hmm. Was comparing Faye to Renee sassy, or was it carelessness? We'll have a clearer picture soon, but meantime it's tempting to believe she talks without thinking. Like you said, tactless.

It's a gift!

Maybe it's just me, but Padma reminds me of a combination between Penelope and Raven, with maybe a bit of Dora in her. The first strip with Padma in it just didn't strike me as Dora-esque, and her personality still just doesn't scream "Dora" to me. I'd really like to see if anyone else works at the bakery so we can find out if there are more dopplegangers.

See, that's just it: We're walking into this thinking "X is Y", but the truth is that "X is Y plus A plus D plus e2".
Padma has some similarities to Dora, yes - but she also has things that AREN'T at all Dora. For example, I doubt she was ever a goth girl. Saying the wrong thing at the wrong time? That sounds more like Marigold.
What we're doing here, kids, is prejudicial thinking. No, not the "negative" kind - the kind where we're basing something new on what we already know.
