What your characters would look like? As I wrote on and am trying out a few different plot ideas, the more I write Mrs. Molly Hallmark in Through the Years, the more I see Missi Pyle, but I see her as Mrs. Beauregarde from the movie Charlie and the Chocolate factory. When she's getting mad in the stories, I see her just giving that creepy look that Missi pulls off so well.
Not sure why, but that was the first face I thought of when I kept writing her.
At 1:05 is when she's giving the look. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/an-QKrNb2Jb7hY7J/charlie_and_t...

Have you ever tried to picture
I have. I try to have mine look like people I have seen.

I pictured the character as somewhat older....
...akin to Mike Teavee's mom in the classic 1970s adaptation of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". But now that I've watched the scene you linked to, it's not hard to imagine that she'd have precisely the same phony "cheerful" vibe--like a Stepford Wife, only creepier. The sort of person who smiles in your face as she prepares to stab you in the back. I have had infinite experience with such people.
How is the story coming along, anyway? Your saga above all is what keeps me coming back here every day.
(Edited) How do you envision Tracy, incidentally? I imagine her as looking a bit like Dakota Fanning when she was Tracy's age.

Working on it as I type. Had
Working on it as I type. Had to follow out a plot idea and when I did I loved it so now to make it work. Soon. Should be sending part 11 to editor soon
Oh yeah
As for Tracy, I kinda did see a young Dakota Fanning.
