Doubtlessly the character's reaction to seeing the bad renderings surrounding her. I really felt uncomfortably ecchi even drawing this character because there's so much creepy fan art of her. If there was one thing I really liked about the character when I was a child, it was her asexual nature. I've seen so many fetishized drawings of the character though that even doing studies of the character felt unpleasant.
On the other hand, she is probably one of the best female character designs for classic animation. The head and body proportions fit on the screen well and are expressive and trivial to draw. I would probably make her hands bigger but it seems like Disney's TV animation department solved tha tissue by nearly always having something in one hand; both to give her a larger emotive device and to introduce asymmetry to the character design (which lets you go more off model in animation and still read)
I did these drawings after several pages of Tom and Jerry studies and the contrast is pretty easy. By comparison, Tom and Jerry are more simple character designs but they're much harder to draw and get them to read. They have to be much more on-model. Disney's TV animation had really honed the rules for what was needed to do cheap animation.
