[BBC] Catherine Benfield wasn't diagnosed with OCD until she was was 31, after she had her first child, though it would appear she's had it all her life. She recovered with the help of therapy - and by creating a character who personifies her obsessive-compulsive behaviour."She's got the big ears, because she's like a startled hare, she's listening out.
"She's bedraggled, because she's been through a lot and she's normally having some kind of panic.
"The big eyes are about making sure she's keeping an eye out for danger.
"The big legs - for running," like a frightened hare, says Catherine Benfield.
