Personality-wise however, she's got a lot of [[WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Beth]] and [[WesternAnimation/{{Sidekick}} Kitty Ko]] in her (such as being characterized as a nerd, having a sweet personality, and working as a follower to an AlphaBitch; she even shares the same voice actress as the latter). Given that ''Grojband'' was produced by many of the people behind ''Total Drama'' and ''Sidekick'', this isn't too surprising.
