Character Profiles Part 4. Who is Edna the Octopus?

Who is Edna the Octopus?

The better question would be who isn't Edna the octopus?

Edna is a cute little octopus who represents the goodness in all of us; the goodness that we hide from society because we do not want to seem to vulnerable. Edna has 8 tentacles, 2 of which she uses to walk and the other 6 she uses to hug everybody who wants or needs a hug. Edna does not have a bad bone in her body. She loves the world and everybody in it, spending her free time helping anybody who needs it. The only negative trait about Edna is that she gives too much of herself to everybody and does not do enough for herself. Edna is just as special as everybody else and she should take care of herself better. Edna needs to learn to take care of herself as well as her friends. This is a lesson that other people in the world struggle with as well. Giving too much of yourself is almost as bad as not doing enough for others. In life we should have a happy balance where we do nice things for everybody including ourselves.

Stay tuned for Part 5 of Character Profiles where we highlight the next character in the "Joey the Penguin" series, "Gills the shark".

Have a great week!
