Lore & Background
Wakko, voiced by Jess Harnell, has a Scouse accent modelled on Ringo Starr, can eat nearly anything in large quantities and carries a "Gag Bag" from which he produces all kinds of objects. Dot, voiced by Tress MacNeille, is cute, bubbly and generally friendly, though she can also be vain, rude and bossy, and she has the shortest temper of the three. She gives her full name as Princess Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Banana Fanna Bo Besca III and hates being called "Dottie".
Reader's Guide
Wakko earns his name by being the most outrageous of the trio in physical comedy. Dot is more ladylike than her brothers but shows again and again that she can be just as wild as they are. The film Wakko's Wish turns on the pair: Dot needs an operation, Wakko takes a job in another town to pay for it, and it is Wakko who finally reaches the wishing star.
