CHARM: Engorgement Charm (Engorgio)
CHARACTER: Bloat from Finding Nemo is a pufferfish who often becomes inflated suddenly, usually from his intense emotions, or sudden things that trigger his instinctual sense of preservation. Engorgio would fit Bloat because not only does he physically become larger, or more bloated, if you will, but he also has a big heart. He welcomes Nemo into the "Tank Gang" with a friendly smile, and remains spirited and dedicated to his pals in the fish tank, and eventually, the ocean.

I'm pretty proud of you for coming up with this one because he isn't a main character. It's super clever and very fitting for the charm.

I LOVE BLOAT. Haha, he's always been one of my favorites and what a fitting charm for him. And he does stay spirited, even when he's in a bag in the middle of the ocean. (I always thought him bloating up should've poked the bag, but ohwell.)

LOL, Bloat might be my favorite too! This comparison is pretty spot on, in my opinion.

I think my favorite part of your comparison was that you noted that it's not JUST literally that Bloat gets physically larger, but also that he's got a "bloated" kind of heart, too!

Awww, I forgot about him! I need to go do a re-watch of that movie asap. I think this charm is perfect, but I really love how you used it to compare not just his physical traits but his big heart as well. I think that's awesome, and so true!
