Personality: A grumpy gal she will invite people to lunch so she can critique them. Yet she still seems generally likeable, like a lovable grump.

Though less modest and more hasty in her reactions to snap at those who irritate her, Nedda is combative with any and all who dare try her patience in the slightest.
