Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

She's originally from - FARGO. Euro-Trash Girl, Swedish, Norwegian, and UK varieties...but quite comedic with "Mr. Lawrence" tendencies (Doug Lawrence of "Sponge Bob Square Pants"). Her phone impersonations of Patty & Selma Bouvier (Marge Simpson's sisters) regularly confuse her clients who hang up on her in disgust. She'll create "something" and it'll sound "different"...but you're not sure WHAT it is.
