Rereading the thread a bit: I believe that "shy" should replace "introvert" when it comes to certain cliches related to Ugly Duckling spawn. Introverted just means that you tend to feel more drained after talking to people/prefer having personal space, as opposed to being an extrovert (meaning you love talking to people and don't like being alot too much). When you're shy however, you tend to be nervous/timid/reticent around others. Someone can be shy as well as be an extrovert, in fact most shy people in fiction want to interract with others and feel lonely due to their nerves getting in the way of meeting new people.

On the contrary, one can have amazing social skills and find dealing with large groups of people exhausting. That doesn't mean their shy. idk why but I wanted say something on the subject. Kind of getting off topic so I'll just say that the whole Ugly-Ducklings-kids-are-always-shy trope is the very reason why I remade Cynthea into Griselle. She felt rather bland before the change imo, and I'm really happy with her current page.

@Zam: Yeah, was a bit annoyed at first with Rosa's design since her outfit kind of made be think of a hipster Belle. :P It's grown on me though, she has a pretty design otherwise and I love her personality. It goes against the grain of most Beauty daughters and I'm a big fan or her social activism. ^^
