ELMYRA At heart, Elmyra is a sweet little girl. She has a deep love for animals, but generally cuddles and loves them to death. Literally. She leaves a trail of destruction wherever she goes. Elmyra means well, but she is oblivious to the trouble she causes. Anyone who allows her to help them is courting sure disaster. Elmyra herself never gets harmed by her ineptness, but it boomerangs back on whoever's unlucky enough to be near her. She has rare moments when she's semi-aware that things haven't gone as she'd planned; usually when a pet runs away from her or someone shouts at her for messing something up. Then Elmyra bursts into heartbreaking sobs. Elmyra lives in a nice, suburban home. The place is fairly average except for the piles of discarded pet toys littering the yard and the seven or eight abandoned doghouses and kitty baskets. Elmyra's pets are constantly escaping in terror. Elmyra has a big crush on Montana Max. She's sure that Monty calls her a "bug-faced little dweeb" because he's too shy to admit his real feelings for her. No matter how many times her 'Monty-Wanty' pushes her away, Elmyra remains convinced that he feels nothing but undying love for her. Elmyra thinks of all the animal characters as cute, cuddly things for her to love... Except for Hamton, who she thinks is a dirty piggie-wiggie in need of a good bath. Elmyra thinks life is 'cute', and she has 'cutesy' names for everything. Rabbits are "hippity-hops," Plucky is "Mr. Quack Quack"... et cetera. She is sweetness to the point of dementia. QUOTABLES: "I love you to pieces!" "That's ginger-peach-a-roon-a-reachie-keen!" "I only wanted to help!" "Bunnies! I love bunnies!" "I loose more pets that way!" AUDITION COPY ELMYRA: (singing) Oh where oh where have my animals gone, Oh where oh where can they be? (speaking to audience) Oh, hello, I'm Elmyra, and I'm searching for a furry little pet to cuddle and squeeze and hug and kiss and love to peices! (she sees Buster Bunny) Oooooh, a bunny! I really loooove bunnies. They're so cute! I'm gonna take you home and make you my very favorite little hippity hop. (yelling after escaped rabbit) Hey, come back, bunny! (crying) Waaaaaaah! Bunny went bye-bye! Waaaaaaah!
