That someone is usually her lover Professor Scara. The pair operate as the classic "odd couple."[2] While Duff has a multitude of experiments running simultaneously, Scara focuses on one at a time, even when Duff tries to get her to help her.[3] Duff has also has taken to cleaning up their home and laboratory, to the chagrin of Scara, who didn't want her laboratory space rearranged.[4]
