Who is she? Anyone know her first appearance or is this one?

Why so much hate?

akronnick · « **Reply #1 on:** 07 Feb 2011, 23:48 »

She works at The Secret Bakery.

Her first appearance was here.

This is the first time we've heard her name, or that she know's Angus, or that Angus frequents The Secret Bakery for that matter.

We don't know that she is Angus's ex refered to here.

Padma.

Hm. Mom and Dad must have been Star Wars fans.

Nice name, though.

The Seldom Killer · « **Reply #3 on:** 08 Feb 2011, 03:43 »

Although that would mean that they're of limited literacy skills and Padma is only 12.

Of course QC could be set in the future, in which case I've unwittingly been reading hipster sci-fi for years.

Padma not Padmé

pwhodges · « **Reply #5 on:** 08 Feb 2011, 04:00 »

Padma comes from the Sanskrit for Lotus, that some transliterate as Patma. I know a Patma (female) married to a Padman (male), the second name meaning Lotus-hued.

Wraith11B · « **Reply #6 on:** 08 Feb 2011, 04:51 »

So, really, her parents were Harry Potter fans... not Star Wars. *mumblesStarwarsgeeksmumbles*

Carl-E · « **Reply #7 on:** 08 Feb 2011, 05:08 »

No, they're from Pittsburgh... (52 sec in)

Border Reiver · « **Reply #8 on:** 08 Feb 2011, 05:35 »

What ever the source of her name, she's an overly agressive individual - how many of your friends would take a swing at each other when first introduced just because they work at different places?

smack that isaiah · « **Reply #9 on:** 08 Feb 2011, 05:49 »

My first thought was that Padma was an ex of Angus's, and Faye and her were fighting Scott Pilgrim style.

akronnick · « **Reply #10 on:** 08 Feb 2011, 05:50 »

Maybe it's some kind of challenge-response authentication protocol.

It also parallels Marten's challenge to Angus before the date, but these two are actually skilled in hand to hand combat.

jwhouk · « **Reply #11 on:** 08 Feb 2011, 05:55 »

That does bring up a thought: what if Padma is originally from California?

Carl-E · « **Reply #12 on:** 08 Feb 2011, 08:48 »

What, another sister he never had?

Yeah, I got that vibe too.

Kugai · « **Reply #14 on:** 08 Feb 2011, 23:13 »

I wonder if she has a twin?

ZERO · « **Reply #15 on:** 09 Feb 2011, 23:46 »

PadmA - DorA
ReneE - FayE

Antario · « **Reply #16 on:** 10 Feb 2011, 00:14 »

nah....thats a bit to far fetched

ZERO · « **Reply #17 on:** 10 Feb 2011, 00:58 »

Oh, okay then.

jwhouk · « **Reply #18 on:** 10 Feb 2011, 06:22 »

So.

I take it that miss "SOMEthing is on fire" is Renee.

This gets more and more intriguing every second.

...

Naaaaaahhhhhhh.

Carl-E · « **Reply #19 on:** 10 Feb 2011, 10:09 »

Judging by Padma's description, it would have to be so.

Phatcat29 · « **Reply #20 on:** 10 Feb 2011, 10:36 »

I'm waiting for the inevitable "Secret Bakery vs Coffee of Doom Gladiator Battle Royal"

Dora will be the sole survivor, triumphing over the bodies of baristas and unknowing patrons caught in the crossfire.

Bonus points if it is done a-la-WestSideStory. *fingersnap*

Carl-E · « **Reply #21 on:** 10 Feb 2011, 11:16 »

Now I wonder what weaponry The Secret Bakery has.

Mini pie tins that throw like ninja stars? Does the giant dough-kneader transform into a killbot? Armored oven mitts?

Kugai · « **Reply #22 on:** 10 Feb 2011, 12:50 »

You can't have a battle like that without giant robots

Is it cold in here? · « **Reply #23 on:** 10 Feb 2011, 14:14 »

The wiki lists the weapons at Coffee of Doom. The Secret Bakery would be hard-pressed to match them.

Antario · « **Reply #24 on:** 10 Feb 2011, 14:28 »

their in america arent they? a trip to the local gun store would suffice wouldnt it

?

Carl-E · « **Reply #25 on:** 10 Feb 2011, 17:26 »

No, no, ~~we're~~ they're fighting for honor! Guns don't determine who the better warrior is...

just who has better aim!

Toba · « **Reply #26 on:** 10 Feb 2011, 18:57 »

Yeah, 'something on fire' must be renee.

knucklesandgyros · « **Reply #28 on:** 10 Feb 2011, 22:48 »

Whenever I hear Padma, I think of Top Chef and then I get hungry again. Kinda fitting since she works in a bakery. I'd laugh if Marten goes on a date with her just for the sheer bizarro world shenanigans.

3 weeks from now Marten will awaken from a drunken jam session with Sven covered in the Ladies of the Secret bakery wearing nothing but a pink Banana Hammock as an eyepatch and Jesse Ventura's socks.

Chances of actually happening: 0.0248%
Chances of Hilarity: Yes.

That'd either mean that she's only 4-9 years old (depending on how comic time has passed relative to the real world) and was given a massive dose of growth hormones for her to reach adulthood within a few years, or one or both of her parents somehow gained access to the prequel scripts that George had locked away somewhere before he dusted them off to start making the prequels.

Not to go off-topic, but it just bugs me that he had the prequel scripts written years, if not decades, before starting production of the prequels, yet they turned out...well...less than par with the originals.

Mr_Rose · « **Reply #33 on:** 17 Feb 2011, 05:46 »

Frankly that's because the 'original' scripts weren't written or directed by George Lucas; they were nominally his idea but the people who actually funded the production insisted on having someone competent come in and fix them. Then screwed the pooch by giving Lucas the exclusive merchandising rights, which he leveraged to buy the other rights and fund his prequels meaning there was no-one to tell him "no George, that's a dumb idea."

Black Sword · « **Reply #34 on:** 17 Feb 2011, 07:11 »

The prequels weren't that bad. Easily better than 8 out of 10 movies released in the same year as them. Problems came from Jar Jar and Hayden's lack of charisma and lack of chemistry with Natalie Portman. Although once Anakin started going dark, Hayden's acting improved.
