<span id="biography"></span>
== <span class="mw-headline"> Biography </span> ==

'''Marzipan''' is [[The Only Girl|the only female character]] among the [[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'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 (though she is not fond of [[The King of Town]], and she really doesn't like Strong Bad at all<span class="reference"><sup>[#endnote_1 [1]]</sup></span>), 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. With Marzipan being the only girl as well as Homestar's [[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship|on-again, off-again girlfriend]], Strong Bad tends to [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 6.0|assert his autonomous romantic life]] to her [[senior prom|(as well as to other characters)]] to assuage his ego. It's possible that Strong Bad has an unrequited crush on Marzipan expressed through his immature antics, although he has indicated [[Date Nite|his disgust for her]] in the past.

[[Strong Bad]] once described Marzipan as a "dirty hippie without the dirt"<span class="reference"><sup>[#endnote_2 [2]]</sup></span>. She is vegan — she especially enjoys [[Tofu|tofu]] and other soy products (though in the email [[coloring]] she teaches that "soy is also murder") — and she spends much of her time singing and playing her guitar. Most of her songs are about happiness and nature. She often makes [[Marzipan's Protest Signs|protest signs]] to express her views on issues of varying and personal interest.

</div>
Marzipan has been mistaken for a baseball bat, a bell, and especially a [[Marzipan Being Compared to a Broom|broom]]. A rip in her "Joey Ramone" costume in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] seems to suggest that her body may actually be shaped like a bell, a fact which is supported by her costume in [[Doomy Tales of the Macabre]] and her tracks in the snow in [[A Decemberween Mackerel]]. By contrast, many emails, such as [[secret recipes]], [[date]], [[secret identity]] and [[keep cool]], show her sitting in a manner that seems to contradict that possibility. In the email [[big white face]], Strong Bad mentions that her head is like a baseball bat. In the email [[long pants]], she claims that she is not a broom, much to Homestar's surprise. In [[high school]], she is shown to have long, skinny legs like [[Daphne Blake|Daphne]] from [[Scooby-Doo]], but due to the fact that Strong Bad has an "unphotographic memory" (or "doodle memory"), this may or may not be true. Though she is often mistaken for such distinctly shaped objects, Strong Bad refers to Marzipan as "[[Human|human]]" in [[retirement]].

Marzipan has a tendency to anthropomorphize inanimate objects — for example, she talks to her guitar, [[Carol]], asks [[Strong Sad]] to help resurrect her ficus plant, [[Credenza]], from the dead in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], and once names an ordinary sandwich "[[Homestar Jr.]]", proceeding to treat it as though it were a small child. In addition, she has occasionally been fooled by poor imitations of Homestar, such as [[Tofu Homestar]] from [[The Luau]] and [[The Cheat]]'s costume from the email [[do over]]. Also, in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], she created a potion that could transform Homestar into several different entities, including a strange clone of herself. Upon such instances, Marzipan tends to show more affection to (and quite possibly ''receives'' more positive attention ''from'') these pseudo-Homestars than she does her real boyfriend. It is unclear if this reflects a desire to change or replace her current beloved, although she believes her relationship with Homestar has always been open<span class="reference"><sup>[#endnote_3 [3]]</sup></span>.

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.

''Main article: [[Marzipan's Character Video]]''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hi, I'm Marzipan, and this is my guitar Carol. Say hi, Carol. ''{performs an E major scale, ascending and descending}'' 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. ''{says one of the two at random}''

* '''MARZIPAN:''' And today we are.<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yay!
* '''MARZIPAN:''' And today we are not.<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Boo!

'''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}'' ''{says one of the following at random, depending on which one was said before}''

* Boo! ''{if he says "yay" above}'' ''{leans out of frame}''
* Yay! ''{if he says "boo" above}'' ''{leans out of frame}''

* The [[Old Characters Page]], now in the [[Museum|museum]], said The King of Town was Marzipan's father. However, it is the only such reference on the site, and [[The Brothers Chaps]] have since reported in interviews (such as [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|the Club Aquatica interview]]) that this was an idea they had early in the site's development but have since abandoned.
** In the [[Wonkavision Magazine Interview]], this [[Inconsistencies within the Homestar Runner universe|inconsistency]] was explained as a [[Retcon|retcon]]. When asked about the "rumors" of Marzipan being the King of Town's daughter, Marzipan herself replied that, "Those allegations are completely false. The King was trying to make himself look better by association. That poor man. That poor fat, filthy man."
*** Even the King of Town seems surprised to learn about this alleged connection in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2]], casting Marzipan's explanation into doubt.
* [[Marzipan]] is also a confectionery consisting primarily of ground almonds and sugar that derives its characteristic flavor from bitter almonds.
* In an interview with Wired magazine, Missy Palmer said that Marzipan started out as a hippie, but over time her personality has changed to match Missy's own.
* The character page title is a reference to Marzipan's song "Oh yeah yeah" from the email [[marzipan]].
* According to Strong Bad, Marzipan is allergic to pecans.
* Marzipan has a cousin named [[Debra]] whom Strong Bad said he considered hot in [[Happy Dethemberween]].
** Marzipan also has a sister, according to Homestar in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2]].
* As revealed in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 15.2]], she has apparently had [[Questionable Services|questionable surgery]] to have her nose removed.
* In [[A Death-Defying Decemberween]], Homestar refers to Marzipan's mother as "Mrs. Marzipan", and implies that she is frequently divorced. Marzipan says her latest stepfather is named Seth and works in a "philosophy department", presumably at a university.
* Marzipan's only known visible body part is her head, and [[Kick-A-Ball]] reveals that none of her limbs are visible.
* Strong Bad says that Marzipan has a "considerable resistance to death" in [[origins]] after being super-glued to Homsar and left for dead.
