Daphne Blake is always a good pick; admittedly she’s a large source of inspiration, I think, for DiD fans.
Penny Gadget was probably the example of a “meddling snoop” before I’d even know about Nancy Drew: the scene of Penny getting captured in “Greenfinger” stood out to me, because she’d gotten kidnapped, and brought down into a basement where another scientist guy was already bound & gagged in a chair. The she got tied up, too, and the two of them could only silently look at each other while gagged, until she slipped it off and began asking him questions.
Made me realize that those sorts of hostage scenarios could be shared, and have banter…etc.
I’d probably re-create that scene, with myself playing the part of scientist…(me and my sister watched the show growing up, and actually did briefly emulate the scene with our limited, low-budget shenanigans) XD
I’d be roped to a chair in the basement of a large mansion, with a clean white handkerchief tied over my mouth, mmphing up at the security camera the villain had placed in the corner.
Then I’d see the henchman bring Penny Gadget downstairs, wrists already bound behind her back, and OTM gagged as well. Wondering who this strange girl was, I’d watched as the henchman would secure her to the chair next to me, mocking her, before leaving us alone to struggle in bewilderment.
Banking off that idea, I think I’d like being tied up alongside two other Disney animated TV show heroines:
Princess Jasmine from the “Aladdin” show, in “Destiny of Fire”…instead of being roped & OTM gagged with the Sultan; I’d just insert myself in his place. XD
Other other would be Cassandra from “Hercules” in the episode “The Big Sink”, tied back-to-back in chairs & OTM gagged with the reporter guy. She was a great mumbler; I’d be willing to join in. XD
