I'm not against the concept of introducing a character with almost toddler-like mannerisms and awareness... but Cleo was horrendously realised, with self-autonomy that was glaringly out of place in the era that was in and a garishly cartoony portrayal to her design and operation. Furthermore, I see Ruth's presence the series as the means to enable exactly this sort of whacky cartoonish-ness that we'd already seen too much of by that point, in my mind.

Although Sonny could have been used better (because, y'know, BWBA), the concept behind his arc is a good one. And I have to say, I was never much taken with Duchess. I don't particularly like her render, and her character is a bit thin for me.

I agree Ruth was just an excuse for all the wacky nonsence to be justified.

To be honest, I'm not that mad on Darcy's portrayal in 'First Day on Sodor!' Having her operating her drill over a railway in action when an engine is coming pulling passengers that could be killed for cartoonish whimsy was something from Overton that I just can't get on board with. Her portrayal in 'Deep Trouble' wins me over, though. She's spunky, forthright and prepared to chastise Max and Monty for their foolish behaviour.

Darcy's alright, probably one of the better contenders on this list. I certainly prefer her to Brenda, who seems very caricatured and archetyped to me.

Darcy is just an overgrown toy who wouldn't be out of place on the list of nonsence things like Shake Shake Bridge. The only thing interesting about her was her friendship with Nia. I like Brenda's personality but I miss Byron who had better potential. I'm guessing the female Bulldozer was created just to have more female characters in the pack. I actually wouldn't mind if Kelly was retconned into female as they could have made her a strong female character who was the leader.
