I believe that Bombalurina is very unsure of herself and self-conscious. She tries to cover her self- doubt by flaunting herself as a flirty party-girl. Deep down inside, she is just as scared and paranoid as her sister, Demeter. Bombalurina does have her good points as well, though. She obviously cares for her mother, Jennyanydots, as seen in "The Gumbie Cat", and protects her sister from Grizabella. I also think all the stuff about her and Tugger is nonsense. Like I said, she likes to flirt, and he's the perfect target. She is actually betrothed to Pouncival, who will become her mate when he gets old enough. - Ozzie
