Charlene Doofenshmirtz

Charlene Doofenshmirtz is a recurring character in Phineas and Ferb. She is the ex-wife of Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz and shares custody of their daughter, Vanessa. She didn't divorce Heinz because he was evil; rather she divorced him because Heinz had an annoying puppet named "Mr. Tomato". Whenever Vanessa tries to tell her that Heinz is actually evil, Charlene is adamant that no one can be evil. In contrast to Heinz's obvious agitation with her, she is actually very civil in his presence and talks of and to him as if they were still on relatively good terms ("I Scream, You Scream", "Hail Doofania!"). 
==Background==
===Physical Appearance===
Charlene is a slender woman that and has short dark brown hair and a slightly yellow skin tone. Her body shape is similar to Linda's. She wears a green polo shirt with dark green buttons, black shoes and blue jeans. She also has a yellow pearl necklace, a pair of yellow earrings and purple glasses.
===Personality===
She is a bit sarcastic with her former husband, and despite talk with him in good terms, she tends to make sarcasm about Dr. D's ineptitude ("This Is Your Backstory", "Hail Doofania!"). She is also very innocent in subjects such as Doofenshmirtz's schemes and -inators ("I Scream, You Scream") and never believes the schemes that her ex-husband has made, nor does she believe Phineas and Ferb's amazing inventions ("Finding Mary McGuffin").

*She doesn't ever appear to take her glasses off for any reason, not even when she's getting treatments at a spa, including facial masks. ("Hail Doofania!").
*She appears to have the same personality as Linda, though perhaps a little more sarcastic. Interestingly, Linda also at one point dated Doofenshmirtz. ("What Do It Do?").
