One of the most complicated toons out there - Vanity originated through an unknown means.

She doesn't belong to a studio that was willing to put their name up, but she in fact was rumored to be a for-hire creation by a marketing company for commercial goods.

Vanity was a poster child bad girl toon, who in a rare marketing move, was designed with adult audiences on the mind. This was also different because Vanity unlike almost any created toon, had no backing cartoon to go with her. She lived in the world of commercials, PSAs and print advertisements.

Vanity's message was always some kind of reminder that folks trying to change their bodies in some way could lead to unforeseen complications. She was equally lauded for her body positive messaging, hated for her attitude, and incredibly divisive when it seemed like her messaging was at times against those wanting to change their form in some ways.

Reporters would hound her for an actual comment about her intentions outside of the commercials themselves. She proved deeply elusive leading to a long running speculation given the lack of toon antics and the lack of a studio/dozer, she may have been a 'Wash' - Someone that paints themselves as a toon and tries to pretend to be one without actually stepping foot in a toon town / subjecting themselves to the laws of comedy.

Washes are often seen in cheaper animations or for fill in characters that don't need to be actual toons, often for a sight gag, or occasionally a vague allusion to a toon cameo without breaking the bank or trying to hire a toon that might be more popular (Years ago some folks would see a few sitcoms try and skirt Jolly Jingle's popular Ritz character by having a sound alike and a toon hat appear often behind a fence as a gag.)

However, Vanity was in fact found in Pinnacle Peaks through substantial efforts, lending more credence to theories away from her being a Wash.

When asked by toontown reporter Skip Francis "What is your message to those who say your suggestion that folks should stay the way they are and just accept things?"

Vanity surprised by her first ambush interview was uncharacteristically polite, again, leading to questions about who she was off screen, if this was all an act/role.

"Folks can be whatever, whoever they want. I'm certain if they could, they'd be me. I want everyone to just be comfortable with themselves and take care of themselves with the decisions they make. I'm not here to say anything is wrong, save for one thing, not planning ahead for the changes becoming a toon or anything else can mean. Obviously, some folks will try to slam what I say or fit me into some box, but I'm exactly who I am. I'm not going to apologize for it. I don't care how people see me or hear me. And I hope maybe that's what more people take away, that there's room for some honesty in what we are doing. After all, I'm Vanity, I don't need to apologize for anything."

Vanity's initial comment about folks being her led to one of the most interesting and problematic scenarios, as no one had ever asked a dozer to try and duplicate a toon. Though the details remain buried in red tape, there was a studio executive that had either a family member or friend that offered enough money that an in team dozer tried to create a secondary Vanity.

The results are unknown beyond the studio sending out a single paragraph all points bulletin in the daily papers.

"It is impossible for a dozer to safely copy the design of another toon that exists."

Despite her continued career in controversy, she remains an outspoken commercial darling for various brands catering to freshly transformed toons and critters.

Vanity remains one of a kind.
