* CloudCuckooLander: Downplayed compared to most versions of Cheryl, in that she seems to have been driven insane by having been left on the island by her fiance, rather than having always been crazy. She even manages to point out the awful absurdity of being expected to charge only nine dollars for sex with strangers. Being in Archer's presence tends to make her anger/insanity go up more due to blaming him for her current predicament.
