| | Making Fiends (2008) The show revolves around the life of Charlotte, a sweet, innocent little girl who is the new girl in the town of Clamburg. Charlotte is also incredibly naïve, and is unable to think badly of anyone around her. Charlotte quickly makes friends with Vendetta, a horrid little girl who makes monsters, or fiends, through baking. Vendetta cannot stand Charlotte's happy-go-lucky nature, and will often go to great lengths to destroy Charlotte (or at least get her out of the way for a little bit). These attempts inevitably backfire, usually resulting in Vendetta doing great damage to herself. When they do succeed, Charlotte can only see the bright side of her situation and will become more annoying than usual. Everything is back to normal by the end of the episode. Vendetta, due to her fiend-making abilities, appears to have the entire town at her control. As such, Clamburg is a bleak, dark and forbidding place. Mr. Milk, who has gotten the misfortune of teaching Charlotte and Vendetta's class, is incredibly timid and never gets around to teaching due to his fear of Vendetta's reactions to his lessons. Charlotte's classmates include Marion, who speaks quietly and is fearful of Vendetta; Marvin, who starts each sentence with the word "my" and has his property vandalized by Vendetta in various ways (which leads to such exclamations as "My banana!" and "My ice cream!"); Malachi, who speaks in Shakespearian phrases and consistently warns Charlotte against messing with Vendetta (to no avail); Maggie, who has resigned herself to depression and dreams of someday escaping; and Mort, an earnest little boy who often spouts nonsensical advice.
