((This was originally meant to be part of an ask meme request from AGES ago, sent in by @theamazinglei, but unfortunately I got WAY sidetracked and never got around to answering it...so here it is on its own!))
Dizzy was originally meant to be my "toonsona", like how I've seen other artists online draw themselves--unfortunately, I don't exactly draw all that often, nor do I have a well-established-enough online presence that would require a "sona", so that idea fell through pretty quickly. I still have the original (unfinished) sketch of proto-Dizzy kicking around in a notepad somewhere...
She’s autistic!! (coded in-universe thanks to being voiced by+heavily modeled off of her voice actress, who is ALSO autistic)! She’s got a lot of physical and vocal stims--bouncing, handflapping, and singing/talking to herself in different voices!
Going off of the above, Dizzy also wraps her arms around herself to calm down, as a form of deep pressure stim (this became A Thing in the DnD campaign where I’m playing as her).
I originally envisioned her as being 15-16 years old (based on a tidbit I read about Betty Boop being 16), but that got scrapped bc of Reasons and now she’s hovering somewhere around 19--she’s just a very youthful adult!
My voiceclaim for her is Sarah Stiles as Spinel! (specifically, reformed!Spinel, because her “evil” form is a bit too...unhinged and mean-spirited for Dizzy dfhjskfh) A lot of Dizzy's mannerisms are also heavily influenced by good!Spinel, albeit toned waaaay down--less of the Pinkie Pie-esque over-the-top childish enthusiasm and more general Cloudcuckoolander-ness. Though in Dizzy’s case, it’s more a product of being brought up in a literal Hellscape surrounded by ex-human weirdos in varying states of mental stability--she doesn’t bat an eye at half the horrors within the Studio because it’s all she’s ever known. How is she supposed to know that sentient ink creatures and leaving out offerings for the literal demon wandering around are “weird”?
My original inspirations for Dizzy's design/personality (aside from her being a cartoony version of me, ofc) were various Fleischer Studios characters--namely, Olive Oyl and Sally Swing!
She’s pansexual (in case you couldn’t tell from my icon hsgjsgkj). The flag even happens to be in her favorite colors!
She has an odd...aversion towards any sort of pressure on her neck. Scarves, heavy blankets, necklaces...if it’s too snug around her throat it needs to come off immediately. It’s best not to ask her about it.
Contrary to appearances, Dizzy does have bones and internal organs! They're just extremely rubbery and flexible :)
Her hobbies include gardening, tap dancing, and collecting knicknacks! Dizzy’s various hideouts throughout the studio usually have a few choice pieces of old Bendy merchandise on display, plus plants that she’s managed to cultivate in empty soup cans and other containers.
