	Marzipan's status as the only girl in [[Free Country, USA]] has made her the target of quite a few prank messages on her [[Marzipan's Answering Machine\|answering machine]] (most of them left by Strong Bad), as well as the unsolicited romantic attentions of several other characters (most notably [[Coach Z]] and [[Bubs]]). Despite all this, she is very kind and is friends with almost everyone (excepting [[The King of Town]] and Strong Bad{{ref\|1}}), such as when she helped [[Strong Sad]] make baklava while [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon\|Strong Bad was in jail]]; however, she does sometimes think only of herself, most notably when she ignored [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2\|seven years' worth of calls]] just to play a prank on Strong Bad. Marzipan often cooperates with other characters on various projects. For example, The Cheat [[Powered by The Cheat\|made a music video]] for her song "[[Oh Yeah Yeah]]". She has appeared in the ''[[Dangeresque (film series)\|Dangeresque]]'' series of short films as [[Cutesy Buttons]] and [[Sultry Buttons]], and once attempted to teach Strong Bad how to make an [[lady fan\|attractive centerpiece]] out of junk mail and kitty litter. She has also hosted a [[Fall Float Parade]] with Coach Z and taught a cult-like "[[School\|kindergarten]]" class with Homestar, Strong Mad, and [[Homsar]]. In [[DNA Evidence]], it is said that she is allergic to pecans. She also takes a Toga-Yoga class, which is led by Bubs.

	'''Marzipan''' is [[The Only Girl\|the only female character]] among the [[Characters#Main Characters\|primary residents]] of the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. She is tall and thin, with her elongated head a pinkish color. Her eyes consist of two black circles of [[Mismatched Eyes\|two different sizes]]. Her mouth was originally a 'U' shape, which still appears on occasion, but more often than not is usually seen now as a slight curve. She wears her hair in a bright blonde ponytail, and is almost always seen wearing a purple dress embellished with white trim and gold buttons, along with a matching hair band. Like [[Homestar Runner]], she does not have [[Lack of Visible Arms\|visible arms]]. Nevertheless, she is still able to pick up and handle objects without any hint of difficulty; for example, she can play the guitar fairly well. She is voiced by [[Missy Palmer]] and is one of the few characters not voiced by [[Matt Chapman]].

	Marzipan is Homestar's [[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship\|girlfriend]] (humorously, Missy Palmer acting as Marzipan disclosed in the DVD commentary for [[date]] that Homestar is only her boyfriend while acting, and has "several other boyfriends" off stage). Early on in the site's history, this seemed to be the primary reason for her existence. Her character has developed greatly over time, however, and their dating no longer appears to be their main connection. Marzipan has actually broken up with Homestar on several occasions, and gone out with [[The Cheat]] and [[Bubs]] in [[Date Nite]], some of which were due to the fact that she wished to demonstrate her independence. Other such times involve Homestar's unintentional mean streak; he has even been known to show feelings of contempt and resentment toward his girlfriend, as seen in the email [[narrator]] (where he calls her "some type of enormous alien cow") and [[Happy Fireworks]] (where he uses a [[Cardboard Marzipan\|cardboard cutout]] to imitate her and then tells "her" to shut up). Luckily for Homestar, she continues to love him dearly, and the two always seem to end up together again.

	Marzipan sometimes works with other characters on various projects. For example, The Cheat made a Flash video for her song "[[Oh Yeah Yeah]]". She has also teamed up with both The Cheat and [[Strong Mad]] to form a band called [[Cool Tapes]], in which she sings lead and plays Carol. She has appeared in the ''[[Dangeresque (film series)\|Dangeresque]]'' series of short films as [[Cutesy Buttons]] and [[Sultry Buttons]], and once attempted to teach Strong Bad how to make an [[lady fan\|attractive centerpiece]] out of junk mail and kitty litter.

	== Biography ==		== Biography ==
	'''Marzipan''' is [[The Only Girl\|the only female character]] among the [[Characters#Main Characters\|primary residents]] of the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. She is tall and thin, with her elongated head a pinkish color. Her eyes consist of two black circles of [[Mismatched Eyes\|two different sizes]]. Her mouth was originally a 'U' shape, which still appears on occasion, but more often than not is usually seen now as a slight curve. She wears her hair in a bright blonde ponytail, and is almost always seen wearing a purple dress embellished with white trim and gold buttons, along with a matching hair band. Like [[Homestar Runner]], she does not have [[Lack of Visible Arms\|visible arms]]. Nevertheless, she is still able to pick up and handle objects without any hint of difficulty; for example, she can play the guitar fairly well. She is voiced by [[Missy Palmer]] and is one of the few characters not voiced by [[Matt Chapman]].

	Marzipan is Homestar's [[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship\|girlfriend]] (humorously, Missy Palmer acting as Marzipan disclosed in the DVD commentary for [[date]] that Homestar is only her boyfriend while acting, and has "several other boyfriends" off stage). Early on in the site's history, this seemed to be the primary reason for her existence. Her character has developed greatly over time, however, and their dating no longer appears to be their main connection. Marzipan has actually broken up with Homestar on several occasions, and gone out with [[The Cheat]] and [[Bubs]] in [[Date Nite]], some of which were due to the fact that she wished to demonstrate her independence. Other such times involve Homestar's unintentional mean streak; he has even been known to show feelings of contempt and resentment toward his girlfriend, as seen in the email [[narrator]] (where he calls her "some type of enormous alien cow") and [[Happy Fireworks]] (where he uses a [[Cardboard Marzipan\|cardboard cutout]] to imitate her and then tells "her" to shut up). Luckily for Homestar, she continues to love him dearly, and the two always seem to end up together again.

	Marzipan sometimes works with other characters on various projects. For example, The Cheat made a Flash video for her song "[[Oh Yeah Yeah]]". She has also teamed up with both The Cheat and [[Strong Mad]] to form a band called [[Cool Tapes]], in which she sings lead and plays Carol. She has appeared in the ''[[Dangeresque (film series)\|Dangeresque]]'' series of short films as [[Cutesy Buttons]] and [[Sultry Buttons]], and once attempted to teach Strong Bad how to make an [[lady fan\|attractive centerpiece]] out of junk mail and kitty litter. She has also hosted a [[Fall Float Parade]] with Coach Z and taught a cult-like "[[School\|kindergarten]]" class with Homestar, Strong Mad, and [[Homsar]]. In [[DNA Evidence]], it is said that she is allergic to pecans. She also takes a Toga-Yoga class, which is led by Bubs.		Marzipan sometimes works with other characters on various projects.

	Alternate versions of Marzipan have varying depictions of limbs.
