The thing is not the character, but her past life. Her father in a wheelchair, her mother....dead. But what was Patty like before all that.
Caring, lovable and even happy. Hiding her happiness with sports and trying to grow up in Bluffington (really that's a town)
Doug's love interest in both the Nick and Disney animated show. She was considered a tom boy. But when she was little, she was a princess.
Not much is known about Patty's mother, but in one episode in the Disney version, they show a brief memory of her with her family.
Sadly it was taken away like the use of her father's legs in a car accident that claimed her mother's life.
Patty tries to hide it by playing sports, or even going out with Doug on occasion.
In that episode, called "Patty's dad dilemma" Patty notices her father starting to hang out with her teacher.
She starts thinking about her mother and the great times they had when she was alive. It was the only time we notice a resemblance of her mother.
Her father becomes a history teacher and Patty feels as if her f
father shouldn't be with anyone but her. She feels that him dating someone else, he might forget about her.
I feel as if, even if it's not a real show and the voice actress of Patty went on to do "Orange is the new black," it doesn't mean that Patty was still an important character on the show.
With Patty having visions of her mother vanishing after her father wants to start dating again, she was very sad, wishing her mother was still alive, even visiting her mother's grave. Her father explains to her that he would never replace Patty's mother in his heart. Why? I guess with families that lost a loved one, due to an accident, cancer....you name it, you can never replace the ones you love.
And for Patty, it was her mother.
