The thing that she does that makes her different is that always looks at someone in the corner or top of her eyes. She doesn't turn her head to the direction of whoever she's talking to. She just moves here pupils to a corner of the eye, so it looks more demeaning like you're not fully acknowledging them.

So, it's funny to watch but I know that one day with April and I would be so annoyed. It would be amusing for like 5 minutes though. I actually met the friend before finding this show so when I watched it was so crazy to see April be exactly like this person I know.
