Portia Demwiddy

Portia Demwiddy is a beauty queen who was a contestant in the Little Miss Crocus pageant.

Biography
She first appears during the tour of the pageant stage where she callously tells Muffy and Lydia to drop out of the pageant, citing that they would have the seeming unfair advantages of being rich and crippled respectively, though she does it in the politest demeanor possible to try to make herself sound caring. The girls, however, see right through her as the snob and bully that she is and decide to make sure she doesn't win, especially after she attempts to suck up to the judges with a curtsey.

During the talent section of the pageant, Portia is the last contestant to go on, and is able to impress everyone at first with a brilliant ballet routine. However, in the middle of her performance, the spotlight shining on her malfunctions and goes out, much to her dismay.

Upon being told that the malfunction will take awhile to fix, and that she'll have to complete her routine without it, Portia refuses (insisting she needs the spotlight), angrily deems the situation unacceptable, demands that someone be fired, and throws a temper tantrum on stage to everyone's shock. The host then closes the curtain on her.
