- "The only person allowed on campus with a weapon is me, and I use it to make dinner!"
- — Edna
Edna is the cook at Bullworth Academy. She was voiced by Kathryn Rossetter.
Character description
Edna is an unattractive, overweight female, possibly in her 50's. She has thick brown hair which is usually tied up in a hairnet. She wears a white cooking apron over a dirty brown blouse and skirt. In the winter, she wears a red cardigan over her usual clothes.
Characteristics
Edna is perpetually filthy and hygienically challenged. She will cough, sneeze, spit, and blow cigarette smoke into the food she prepares, believing it adds flavor. Her clothes are grubby from her time in the kitchen, and are rarely washed. Edna is also prone to laughing maniacally. When Jimmy does her a favor, she agrees to spit into Mr. Hattrick's food, and happily offers to do much worse. In Last Minute Shopping, Edna says she has worn the same knickers "since last term".
Despite being the cook, Edna is also considered school authority and will try and bust students who break the rules. Unlike other female authority in the school, Edna will use the same grab and ground technique the prefects and male authority use to bust students and has the same amount of health that male adult authority figures have. Her favorite pejorative towards the kids is "punks".
Edna isn't popular among most of the kids who attend the school. Most of them find her gross, kids of all the cliques happily try to ruin her date with Dr. Watts, and Troy makes fun of her at Halloween by wearing a mask of her face. Hal, who finds fat women attractive, has a crush on her. According to Sheldon, she has seven children.[1]
Edna has a 'thing' for the 'elderly scientist type.' She regularly comments on how attractive she finds Dr. Watts, and has two missions revolving around it. She more rarely make similar comments about Dr. Slawter.
Role in game
Edna appears in the story a few times. She has Jimmy help her in a few missions. In Last Minute Shopping, she asks him to pick up a few of her personal effects from stores in Bullworth Town.
In Cook's Crush, she asks him to pick up a few more things, including sedatives so she can set up a date with the Chemistry teacher, Dr. Watts. In Cook's Date, she asks Jimmy to watch over her date with Dr. Watts. She also cheers for Jimmy at the end of the Final Showdown.
Besides the storyline, she can be seen in the cafeteria between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m., but only if the player is not performing a mission.[2]
Deleted content
Edna was originally intended to have a role in Halloween. She would have been duped into eating the joke candy that was also removed from the game, causing her to vomit.
Trivia
- If Jimmy causes trouble in the cafeteria, Edna will chase after him, but will never go past the tables, regardless of how full the trouble meter is.
- Edna has a unique set of behavioral programming. She uses the double collar grip takedown that the prefects and male faculty members use, and the same fighting style as male faculty. However, she can be pinched on the bottom yet not given a wedgie like all the other female characters.
- During Halloween, Troy wears a mask of Edna's face. If Jimmy smashes every tombstone, he receives one of his own.
- If Jimmy listens to Edna's dialogue, she remarks that she partook in shot put in 1976.[3] This may be a reference to the character Miss Trunchbull from the film Matilda, who physically resembles Edna and took part in the same sport in the 1976 Olympics.
