Character: Shirley is Acme
Acres resident psychic, her life centers around her Aura, which has a tendency
to come out from her, to do her "dirty work" such as teaching Plucky a
lesson on dating rules. She is a space cadet, with her head in the clouds,
yet she is not someone to mess with, for one zap of her cosmic powers,
the unexpecting character is left as scorched and smoldering.
She is pursued by Plucky, yet
he never does win. She is best friends with Fifi and Babs, and the three
girls tend to cause a bit of trouble when together. Buster thinks she is
a riot, and enjoys being around her, even if its just to see Plucky get
toasted!
Her voice is that Southern
California Valley girl, real ditzy, and has a tendency to say the word
"like" or "or some junk" a lot.
From the TTA Character Breakdown
and Audition Copies
Shirley is a young clairvoyant
waterfowl with extraordinary psychic powers. She's adept at mind reading,
channeling and projecting her aura, (a glowing likeness of herself with
a mind of its own). Always in a state of unflappable cosmic oneness, Shirley
is the spaciest Toon in Acme Acres. Many characters regard Shirley as a
flake, but she takes their skepticism philosophically; "I know I'm at one
with the spiritual plane. Besides, in your next lives, you're all coming
back as avocados, so there."
She is our New Age space
cadet and mystic. Her head is in the clouds and her mind is in a galaxy
far, far away. She's into E.S.P., telekinesis, astrology, crystals, tarot
cards, tea leaves, palm reading, levitation and reincarnation.
She has hundreds of past
lives. You name it, Shirley has been it. The aura can float out of her
body, punch somebody, then return, all while Shirley is serenely meditating.
The aura sometimes lags behind, causing Shirley to lean back into a room
and whistle for it.
Shirley is usually sitting
in a lotus position, chanting "OHMMM" while floating several feet above
the ground; while the rest of the gang tries in vain to scale a wall, Shirley
simply floats over it.
Known to answer questions
before they're asked, Shirley is not your average Toon. Buster thinks Shirley
is a hoot. Babs can relate to her; they're both 'out there'. Fifi is Shirley's
best friend;she believes in Shirley's prophesies, especially when they
relate to romance. Monty doesn't believe in Shirley at all.
