Whaalep, I'd like to think that Carole used to hate all of the characters (ew losers) at first and just and just sorta developed an unexpected kinship at some point. She's somewhat of a Valley Girl against her will, used to hang out with a snotty group of tweens who likes to bully the group.  Honestly, she doesnt really care for them but still sticks around cuz they're cool and popular and to save herself from being on the other end of the stick. One of the characters could have defended her from one of her ex-friends who took a habit of bullying her lame singing or weird accent, and another one, she got into a fight with one of the characters and both got into detention. To w/c they escaped together and thought "Oh, you guys aren't so bad." [@XanderHarris], I think Emily would be perfect for this bit. X) A somewhat friendly rival thing if you will.
