* BigBeautifulWoman: When she becomes more confident about herself, she embraces her large body and flaunts off her beauty. Wilbur has always thought Edna was beautiful both inside and outside, which is why he’s so in love with her. During “Big, Blonde and Beautiful”, Motormouth herself sings about she thinks Edna is a beautiful woman and she shouldn’t be afraid to show it off.

In the 2007 film, Edna not only agrees, but shows a surprising amount of business savvy--she alters the contract for Tracy's benefit, speaking knowingly about legal proceeds ("I want a non-exclusive contract! Extensions by mutual option."), and even manages to get herself a free bustier.

* AbusiveParents: Of the emotional variety. She's responsible for Amber's bigoted, spoiled, bratty behavior and Velma evidently taught her racism and fatphobia as well. Interestingly in the 2007 film when she makes a few of her own decisions outside of her Mom's influence she demonstrates that she can be a better person.
