Miss Hattie is a minor antagonist of the film Despicable Me. She is a mean woman who runs an all-girl orphanage called Miss Hattie's Home for Girls.

Appearance[]

Miss Hattie is a chubby woman who has anatomy that consists of having small hands and feet, strong arms and legs, and large breasts and bottom. Her style shows to have brown hair curved in tight bangs, and often wears a red plaid pencil-skirt and a pink cardigan with a matching pink-gem brooch.

Personality[]

Miss Hattie is ironically different from the attitude of the cheerful and happy looks of the Orphanage. Unlike these traits, Miss Hattie appears as a gloomy, stern, and uncaring woman. It is possible that Miss Hattie forces the orphans into child labor, as she dismisses Margo Gru, Edith Gru, and Agnes Gru when she says, "Go clean something of mine."

When Gru came to adopt the little girls, Miss Hattie shows that she is snobbish and arrogant towards people as she looked online to Gru's profile in order to see if he is a good person. Due to being uncultured and politically incorrect, she fell for Gru's unwittingly harsh statement in Spanish on her face being "como un burro" (Spanish: "like a donkey"), to which she thought of as a compliment until she researched the meaning in a Spanish dictionary and kept it to eventually slap him across the face with it.

Plot[]

Despicable Me[]

The little girls are sent out to make money for Miss Hattie by selling cookies. She gets upset with the ones that do not meet their quota and puts them in the Box of Shame that's in her office, bringing out any additional boxes if necessary. Avoiding being placed in the box is how Miss Hattie "encourages" her girls to do better in their cookie sales. She also has a line of black and yellow caution tape in front of her desk that the girls have to stand behind when reporting how they did for the day. When Edith Gru put a mud pie on Miss Hattie's desk, she is momentarily angry, then tells her, "You're never going to get adopted, Edith, you know that, don't you?" A few minutes before, when Agnes Gru had asked if anyone stopped by to adopt them while she, Edith and Margo Gru are out, Miss Hattie's answer is a more emphatic "no".

When Felonius Gru came by to adopt Margo, Edith, and Agnes, Miss Hattie is not very impressed with his accomplishments. After the computer records became scrambled (due to the Minions getting into a fight while updating the records in real-time), Gru sweet-talked her by telling her, "You have a face como un burro", which, in Spanish, means "You have a face like a donkey." Since Miss Hattie did not speak Spanish, she is flattered by it and approved the adoption. Miss Hattie later bought a Spanish dictionary and learned what it really meant, letting Gru know that she did not like what he said by slapping him in the face with it when she came to pick up the girls. Miss Hattie then put them into boxes of shame for unknown reasons. It is unknown what happens to Miss Hattie after Gru retakes the girls as she is not seen for the rest of the film. MONSTER KILL HATTLE AND DEAD!!
