Laverne

General information

Laverne is one of the protagonists of Day of the Tentacle, along with Bernard and Hoagie. She is sent to the future, where Purple Tentacle has successfully taken over the world, which is now run by other sentient tentacles, who now keep humans as pets. Remember that she is most likely from the late 80s/early 90s, so she most likely mentions things related to that era.

Her TV trope characteristics

Action Girl: Tends to be the most physical of the three, despite her apparent clumsiness, which still isn't saying much given that Bernard is a stereotypical 98-pound weakling and Hoagie veers toward doing as little work as possible. Anime Hair: Her hair is a big spikey, whatever mess! One tentacle comments it is enough to give him nightmares. Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance: Laverne is a Cloudcuckoolander and thus has an equally unhinged appearance, complete with a Mad Eye. Attractive Bent Species: The tentacles in the future find humans ugly, with Laverne getting it especially bad from a tentacle who instantly describes how he finds her repulsive (granted, she does look weird). Conversely, after she dons her stars-and-stripes disguise, and every tentacle around finds her to be the sexiest thing on no legs (although, not enough to refuse doing their jobs). Cloudcuckoolander: In case you haven't noticed, this girl is a nut! Creepy Monotone: Has a spacey flat effect delivery courtesy of Jane Jacobs. Debatably counts as a Soft-Spoken Sadist considering her... interests. Four-Temperament Ensemble: Choleric. Freudian Trio: The Id. Geek Physique: This is a walking twig of a med student. Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: She may be a maniac, but her heart seems to be in the right place... Right? I Love the Dead: Seems to develop a bit of a crush on Dead Cousin Ted. All that white he wears "really gets to her." Laughing Mad: Try having her pick up the candelabra while it's still nailed down. Mad Doctor: Or a Mad (Pre-)Med student, at any rate, but she does take a rather unhealthy fascination in dissecting things. Mad Eye: A big popping eye that constantly faces the player! The McCoy: Despite her monotone voice, she's quite emotional. It's all over her body language. Meaningful Name: Her name means "the alder," a tree that has yellow flowers. She's a beanpole with wild blonde hair.

Her TV trope characteristics... Two!

Modesty Shorts: Wears short, old-fashioned bloomers under her skirt, prominently displayed after Hoagie makes the tree she's stuck in disappear, and she falls head first through the pavement below. Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Not an accent, but Laverne's voice. If you try to make her look at all kinds of objects "flushed" from Bernard and Hoagie, Laverne will eventually speak in her voice actress' normal, deeper voice. ("Wow, Doctor Fred is rich!") The Ophelia: Well, she has a certain endearing... "Quirkiness" to her. Paper-Thin Disguise: The tentacle disguise she spends most of the game in has her entire head sticking out of the "eye", her arms (and fingers), clearly visible, and her feet poking out at the bottom, with her hefting up the "skirt" when she walks. None of the tentacles pick up on this (other than possibly the elderly Purple), and several of them think she's quite the looker. Rapid-Fire Nail Biting: Her Idle Animation. Silly Walk: Laverne's walk cycle has her bounce along with her arms splayed out to her sides and a huge, manic grin plastered on her face, regardless of where she is or what's going on. It fits her character perfectly. Technically a Smile: Before she gets a vital piece of costume-wear, she does... something with her mouth when she's moving. The Smurfette Principle: Only young female character in the game (not mentioning a non-speaking beauty contestant). Too Kinky to Torture: She's disappointed when Doctor Tentacle doesn't plan to use his scalpel on her, going so far as to offer him hers. Shown here: https://youtu.be/DDWr5rfZWjE?t=27. Verbal Tic: Laughs hysterically mid-sentence, from time to time.
