Seems to me that small, slantier eyes mean a serious personality.  Most =
evil bosses have small eyes, and they rarely do goofy things like the =
main characters.  When Ms. Clancy came on the scene, she was a real =
threat to the other labor pilots, and she didn't have a wacko =
personality.  Queen Beryl from Sailor Moon is the same way, as are her =
minions...

So whaddaya think of that?
