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. Regardless, she continues to love Homestar dearly, though she will occasionally break up with him for a day or two just to demonstrate her independence. As [[Strong Bad]] says, she's a "dirty hippie without the dirt." She is a strict vegetarian and enjoys tofu and soy products. She's a huge animal-rights activist, and she likes to sit outside and play songs about happiness. [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|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. This has earned her the somewhat unwanted romantic attentions of the other characters, particularly [[Coach Z]], [[Bubs]], and [[Strong Mad]]. She tends to personify inanimate objects, as seen with her guitar [[Carol]], [[Homestar Jr.]] from [[Where's The Cheat?]], and "Mr. Corn" and the Butternut Squashes from [[Halloween Fairstival]]. Like Homestar, she has no arms, and no feet it seems, but this doesn't prevent her from playing Carol. She is also one of the kindest characters and is friends with pretty much everybody (even [[Strong Sad]] and [[Homsar]]) except Strong Bad and [[The King of Town]].

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. Regardless, she continues to love Homestar dearly, though she will occasionally break up with him for a day or two just to demonstrate her independence. As Strong Bad says, she's a "dirty hippie without the dirt." She is a strict vegetarian and enjoys tofu and soy products. 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. This has earned her the somewhat unwanted romantic attentions of the other characters, particularly Coach Z, Bubs, and Strong Mad. She tends to personify inanimate objects, as seen with her guitar Carol, Homestar Jr. from Where's The Cheat?, and "Mr. Corn" and the Butternut Squashes from Halloween Fairstival. Like Homestar, Marzipan has no visible arms, though she is able to interact with the world as though she did, being able to pick up and move objects, and even play a guitar. It is gennerally accepted that either her arms are invisible, or that she has limited telekenetic powers.

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 gives here, he gives the opposite 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.
