Frog

Frog has a great deal of dignity, this comes off as a good deal of attitude in a few lines such as, "I speaks english don't I?", yet he is also quite melancholy feeling limited and held back by his old body. Frog fixates on smaller details such as chipping paint that other characters may not even notice, perhaps due to size or being lost in his past . Frog may be observing that not only his body is aging and falling apart but other things around him are. He would rather wallow in self-pity and focus on things falling apart than pay close enough attention to hold a conversation with Alice since her vibrancy, youth and curiosity provide an interruption from Frog's melancholy fixations. The voice and physicality may be linked to Eeyore from winnie the pooh.....and instead of long sighs they become a low croak or ribbit.
