  3. She's narrativeless in effect ... In my mind she's pure product. They've made a few cartoons. They've given her a backstory about her family in London, but none of that is critical to her purchase. I'm guessing a lot of people who buy Hello Kitty don't know and don't care that much.

  5. She really goes from 4 to forever ... She's always represented friendship, love, all of those good things. Every consumer interprets her in a different way. They have a personal relationship with her that's very unique to them.
