Biography

Marzipan is Homestar Runner's girlfriend, although during the course of the website's run she's become more and more annoyed with her sweetheart. As Strong Bad says, she's a "dirty hippie without the dirt." She is a strict vegetarian and enjoys tofu. She's a huge animal-rights activist, and she likes to sit outside and play songs about happiness. Her answering machine is a target of prankishness from Strong Bad and others. Marzipan is the only character voiced by the talented Missy Palmer, and the only main female character on the entire site. It's rumored that her blonde hair isn't her natural color.

Character Video Transcript

{Page Title: Oh Yeah Yeah!!} {Place: Marzipan's Gazebo}

MARZIPAN: Hi, I'm Marzipan, and this is my guitar Carol. Say hi, Carol. {performs a scale in E major} Ooh, E scale. Nice choice. When I'm not rockin' out, I like to dig in my garden and eat. I'm a fiercely independent woman, and I'm fiercely independent about the soy products that I choose. Homestar Runner and I {Homestar leans in frame} are one hot item when I say we are. And today we are (not).

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yay!/Boo! {leans out of frame}

MARZIPAN: I like baby animals, and cats and dogs. But it makes me sad to see cats and dogs in the same room together. Okay, bye. I'm off to the Chinchilla protest. {She pulls out a protest sign that reads "Chinchillas OUT!! (of my basement)" and walks away}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {leaning in frame} Boo!/Yay! {leans out of frame}

(Sometimes Marzipan says "And today we are," to which Homestar responds "Yay!" and sometimes she says "And today we are not," in which case Homestar says "Boo!" Whichever response Homestar doesn't give here, he gives at the end.)

Fun Facts

  • The old characters page in the museum says Marzipan's father is The King of Town, but this is the only reference to it on the site, and The Brothers Chaps have said that this was an idea they had early in the site's development but have since thrown it out.
  • Marzipan is also a confectionery consisting primarily of ground almonds and sugar that derives its characteristic flavor from bitter almonds, which constitute 4% to 6% of total almond content by weight. Most marzipan is also flavored with rosewater.
