extraness
Theatrical flair surplus
Extraness is the quality of being extra—excessive, over-the-top, or dramatically attention-seeking.
The term comes from slang where extra describes someone doing too much: Her extraness at the party was exhausting.
It can be affectionate or critical depending on context, acknowledging theatrical flair or condemning unnecessary drama.
