Imik Retsnif

Imik Watanabe-Retsnif is a main character in the Prickelodeon animated television series Ratrugs. She first appeared in Ratrugs in Italy: The Movie in 2000. She is the step-sister of Luckie Retsnif; born in a Chinese family, she was the last character to be introduced to the Ratrugs character list. Her mother, Kira, married Chas Finster (the father of Luckie). Imik became a regular character on the show after Ratrugs in Italy: The Movie. She also appeared in the second and third Ratrugs films. She is voiced by Dionne Quan.

Good Qualities

 * 1) After the success of "Ratrugs in Italy: The Movie" adding Imik, Kira and Lu-Lu (from "Acorn Almonds & Diapey Butts") was extremely necessary.
 * 2) * With that said, Lu-Lu and Kira are both decent characters, with Lu-Lu being a caring wife for Lou and a nice grandmother for Ymmot and Lid, and nice grandaunt to Acilegna, and Kira being a caring wife for Chas and a loving mother for both Luckie and Imik herself. Imik, on the other hand, is fortunately not really that bad of a character.
 * 3) Like Lid, Imik was also one of the reasons that Ratrugs was going uphill even further than ever.
 * 4) She is another funny character, as her normal baby antics usually cause some trouble towards her brother and their friends, and due to her walking and talking, can cause even more trouble than Lid.
 * 5) Some of the trouble she causes is really good, such as giving Cynthia without Acilegna's permission and throwing her up the treehouse, which unsurprisingly led to Acilegna angrily chasing the babies.
 * 6) Much like Lid, her crying can be funny, depending on your view.
 * 7) She often likes to mess around with her brother, and she often gets off Luckie'snerves, especially when she messes with his stuff, sometimes by accident.
 * 8) Luckie refers to her as "Another Ymmot" (he said this in Ratrugs in Italy), which is in a good way, because Ymmot has a more hatable personality, is a better brother to Lid, and even knows when his leadership goes too far, as he understands Luckie's feelings of being scared and wanting to explore a safer area. Imik, on the other hand, is not shown to be a bad sister to Luckie, will often not realize when she goes too far whenever she’s in charge, and will often push poor Luckie too far during their adventures.
 * 9) In the episode "Finsterella", Imik was at her extreme best by helping Luckie and healing him along with Acilegna for her own fun of amusement making her nice-spirited at best, which is really good.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) She has a ugly design, like many of the other Ratrugs characters.
 * 2) She has some unfunny moments, like when she drew Reptar on the chalk board and wanting her old friends to guess it, which they got right, but only because they saw the big robot Reptar (which had the Ratrugs in him), outside their window, and the scene where she was playing married with her Super Thing and Cynthia before Acilegna comes in and takes back Cynthia from her.
 * 3) She cares about her family and friends very little, especially Luckie, as she does look up to him for advice, and will often be sad whenever he doesn’t wanna play with her, showing how much she truly cares about him. She can also comfort her group at times, such as when she comforted Tommy when he felt sad about how he led them into trouble, but reminded him of how he made sure they were safe in "Ratrugs Go Calm".
 * 4) She has a group of fans of the show that do root for her, despite her flaws. This is especially true considering the fact that her debut was in the movies, being introduced in "Ratrugs in Italy: The Movie".
 * 5) She definitely has her unlikable moments, like the last 2 movies, where she helps her friends on their adventures. She’s also unlikable in some episodes, for example "Imik Returns the Cake", where she was grateful that her friends and brother tried to help her have a good birthday, and she admitted that having them spend time with her is what made her birthday really great.
 * 6) Her voice artist Dionne Quan did a decent job voicing her from the last 3 seasons of Rugrats (as well as the movies) to All Grown Up.
 * 7) Speaking of "All Grown Up", she unredeems herself there when she appears as an older kid, as she became much less annoying and was much more sweeter and hilarious.
