| ~ Description from the official 2003 website |
Ginger Snap’s most prominent personality trait is being hyperactive, energetic and having a "motor mouth", or having a tendency to talk very fast and chatter. She is usually kind and friendly to others but doesn't have a lot of patience.
She is scared or frightened easily, especially in the dark, as shown in "Ginger Snap's No Light Night of Fright" and "The Blueberry Beast." She often overreacts and gets rowdy if she's ever scared, mad, worried, or annoyed, which shows she doesn't handle stress well. She mentions eating lots of chocolate when she feels upset or stressed. In "Strawberry's Big Journey", she mentions a dislike for sitting still for a long time.
She is an intelligent mechanic and inventor. Her machines have many purposes. She can create a machine from scratch, anywhere, without being in her factory, as seen in "Get Well Adventure". She claims to always see the glass as half-full, showing that she is an optimistic person.
