*In order to not have them as simply satellite love interests, the series' writing team tried to give Petunia and Melissa more of their own personalities to stand out in their own while Penelope was given spotlight as well by giving her a voice and her own quirks to not make her merely used as a plot device to Pepé Le Pew.
**Some of Melissa's traits were evident when she was retooled into Tina Russo Duck on .
