Toot Braunstein


List of characters appearing in the animated series Drawn Together. All eight of the four main housemates have physically appeared in every episode and the movie. However, there have been certain episodes where some of them have had no lines of dialogue. Toot didn't speak in the episodes "Foxxy vs. the Board of Education" and "Nipple Ring-Ring Goes to Foster Care." Clara and Xandir didn't speak in "Breakfast Food Killer," and Ling-Ling had no dialogue in the episodes "Dirty Pranking No. 2," "A Tale of Two Cows," "The Drawn Together Clip Show," "Spelling Applebee's," and "Unrestrainable Trainable."

A pampered and hyper-religious princess with bigoted, religionist and homophobic tendencies, Princess Clara is a parody of Disney princesses like Ariel from The Little Mermaid and Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Most of her humor revolves around her bigotry, her gullibility, and her religious fanaticism. Among reality show archetypes, she represents the sheltered rich girl. According to creators Jeser and Silverstein, they partially based Clara on The Real World: New Orleans' Julie Stoffer, a Mormon who had little experience dealing with gays or people of other cultures and who tended to make offensive remarks without realizing it.

Originally, while Clara was portrayed as being bigoted, she never seemed to be genuinely and completely hateful. For example, she seemed to get along with both Foxxy and Xandir despite being bigoted and homophobic, and acted surprised and confused when they were offended by her behavior, as well as having a brother-sister relationship with Wooldoor. She clashes (and loses) often with Foxxy due to her bigotry, though she sees her as one of her best friends. Often, Foxxy returns the same feeling, until she makes more bigoted remarks towards her. However, later episodes have her as harsh, strident, fundamentalist and intolerant. Concerned solely with crusading against sinfulness, her desire to quench sin is so strong that she shows no concern for the happiness or well-being of others. In "Foxxy vs. the Board of Education", she vows to stop Spanky's gay marriage to Xandir despite Spanky's life being in danger without the insurance Xandir can provide. In "Clum Babies", she crusades against both Wooldoor's masturbation and the use of the Clum Babies to heal the sick despite the number of lives that are being saved and diseases that are being cured, but ultimately, and hypocritically, disguises herself in an attempt to procure a Clum Baby to cure her tuberculosis. On her behavior in this episode, executive producer Freiberger stated, "Clara's attitude about it all is completely in character for her as a character and for her as a symbol of the religious right. She's definitely a meat eater as we've seen in the past. And she's not above killing animals. But she is against harming embryos no matter how much good it will do for the living... unless it benefits her directly, then she's more than willing to be a hypocrite to save her own life." Clara's vagina was originally a tentacled monster called the Octopussoir due to a curse by her wicked stepmother, but after multiple labioplasties became the Vajoana, who she likes to expose and allow to talk. Executive Producer Bill Freiberger has stated, when discussing Clara's behavior in "Spelling Applebee's", "While Clara is sometimes misguided out of ignorance or naïveté she is also very often misguided because she is a selfish, spoiled princess (figuratively and literally)."
