[edit] Biography
Martha Foster founded the home that bears her name. She's had a strange life, having once gotten lost in the labyrinth house for three days, eating nothing but acorns and toothpaste. She also spent forty-six days in the horse stables when her granddaughter accidentally let the Scribbles out from the forbidden door in the cold autumn of 1984. She also owns what looks like a late 1970's Pontiac Firebird sports car complete with the bird on the hood similar to the one shown in the Smokey and the Bandit movies, which she likes to drive around town. She has a long-standing feud with the neighbor across the street, Old Man Rivers. According to Foster, Rivers borrowed a cup of sugar from her "and did not return one single granulatory ounce!" She also possesses a chest of pirate treasure buried near a Hydrangea bush on her property.
[edit] Personality
Kooky and charming, and always wearing a smile for anyone to cheer them up as their surrogate grandmother, she's a fun-loving old woman who always finds a way to have a good time, even if she has to break Mr. Herriman's rules in order to do so; she is truly a kid at heart. She loves having Wild Tea Parties while everyone is out as seen in "Fosters Goes to Europe." Mr. Herriman is never happy about this, but since it was Madame Foster who created him in the first place, he doesn't have much of a say about it. She often pokes good-hearted fun at others, like in "Mac Daddy" where she punned Mac and Cheese (referring to the popular pasta dish macaroni and cheese) and "Bloo Cheese" (a type of cheese). She is quite sneaky and malicious when she needs or wants to be, as seen in "Foster's Goes to Europe" when she purloined Mac's tickets to Europe with a rather long hug. She then went on vacation with her friends and a homesick imaginary friend named Eurotrish. She even bought the stuff Mac put up for auction on an internet auction web site (SchmeBay, a parody of eBay) in "One False Movie", not knowing that she was buying her own stuff or funding much of the movie that Mac and Blooregard were making. She also tricked Mac into a surprise party disguised as an imaginary friend named Artie who was four years old in "I Only Have Surprise For You."
Madame Foster sometimes makes rude jokes out of someone's unfortunate situations (most notably while Bloo was eating a horrible meal Frankie specially prepared) with a below-basic level of sarcasm. Madame Foster and Mac seem to be kindred spirits, as she has never gotten rid of her imaginary friend (Mr. Herriman) and Mac refuses to give up Bloo. Sometimes, Madame Foster's daily actions tend to change from morally good to psychotic (such as running with pointy objects inside the mansion, using exaggerated methods to solve many problems, or even performing semi-nudism), but most characters also suffer from her same personality disorder (Mr. Herriman for example: he always acts as a cultured and refined imaginary friend, but in some critical cases he can go through spasms).
