ELEANOR TWEEG CHARACTER PROFILE
By Josh Isaacson, Teddy Ruxpin
Online Webmaster

|
In
an early episode of the TV series, Jack W. Tweeg opens a letter from
his "Mummy" expecting to find his allowance. Instead, he finds a letter
which threatens to disinherit him if he doesn't immediately begin doing
horrible deeds and in turn join MAVO. It ends with a signature- "Your
Ashamed Mother."
Eleanor Tweeg is of course that ashamed mother.... the hag-faced
hidiousity, a term of endearment Tweeg uses to describe
her, is a troll- a humanlike species in Grundo that seems to
live primarily in Ying. At some point Eleanor met Elroy, a
mellow surf grunge, and together they produced Jack W. Tweeg. Elroy
couldn't handle Eleanor's constant ridicule and split, forcing little
Jack W. to be subjected to a life filled with only his overbearing
mother as an influence. The fact Tweeg turned out as good as he did is
quite a miracle considering that fact.
Eleanor lives alone in a cabin of sorts out in the middle of nowhere,
with only her pet Sparky- some sort of a dog like creature- to keep her
company. She doesn't like visitors, and
likes them even less when it's her son and/or his
bounder friend LB knocking. She's a member of MAVO
and her heart goes aflutter at the site of Quellor. She
briefly becomes the Understander Of Legends when the previous
Understander is elevated for a time to Supreme Oppressor. She
causes a raucous at MAVO late in the series when she shows up to the
costume party dressed in a realistic Illiop costume.
While Eleanor herself makes up the majority of the minority of
Grundonians who think she's easy on the eyes- she does have one
admirer- the Mudblup King, who buys her from Tweeg at one point in
exchange for a box of coal. Eleanor uses her persuasion over the king
to convince him to allow his subjects to compete in a failed Grungeball
game. Although Eleanor talks the talk of a hardened villain,
she's not really that much more successful than the son she so often
criticizes. Most of her plans go awry just as Jack W's do... the failed
imprisonment of Burl Ruxpin being one example.
Eleanor steals the scenes she's in with Tweeg and LB... as
good of a critic as LB is for his boss, Eleanor's tirades against Tweeg
are of a colder and more cynical variety... LB often
pokes fun in order to motivate his boss, while Eleanor does it
probably just to feel better about herself. It's all funny,
nonetheless.
