Character Spotlight: Mandy

I utterly love this animated child. Mandy is one of my heroes as far as animated characters go. Reason being is because she doesn't take crap from anyone and, more often than not, inspires fear in any and all who dare to cross her path. Long story short, Mandy is friends with a total dunce of a kid named Billy. Well one day, Billy decides its a good idea to celebrate his hamster's birthday (yeah, a dunce) when the Grim Reaper shows up to take the soul of the poor little creature. Now he's expecting Billy and Mandy to be all scared and start screaming. Uh... nope, sorry Grim, don't think so. Instead Mandy bets the hamster's soul in a game. Unfortunately for Grim, he loses and winds up getting stuck with Billy and Mandy. Now Mandy's approach to being Grim's friend is to mostly order him to to her chores and threaten to maim and/or injure him if he doesn't obey her. On the rare occasion that you see Mandy smile, the universe tears itself apart. Now personally, I find that utterly hilarious to watch her struggle with trying something as simple as smiling, not to mention saying "please." She's completely morbid and awesome to watch. I mean, how could you not love a 10-year-old who orders around the Grim Reaper like its nothing?
