Minnie Mouse

Minerva Mouse, also known as Aunt Minnie, Min and Minnie Mouse, is one of the major characters from the Disney series.
== Charactah Account ==
Minnie is Mickey's love interest, who often took on the role of a damsel in distress in the early shorts. It's a characterization that still goes, but she gets her own hero'ing from time to time these days, too. Her commonly heard name is short for "Minerva".
Minnie is classy, cheerful, and feminine. She is filled to the brim with love and affection, sweet to nearly everyone she comes across, and can typically see the beauty in most things. Minnie's kindness is sometimes exploited by other characters, but Minnie values her good-natured spirit, as it often brings happiness to others, and is something she strives to accomplish regularly. She is quite empathetic in this regard, to the point where she'll take someone else's problems and seek to rectify it herself, even if that someone may be her enemy.
Intelligent and sophisticated, Minnie often serves as the "voice-of-reason" amongst her friends, specifically in House of Mouse. In the series, Minnie has repeatedly taken charge of hectic situations, usually as a result of Mickey's inability to handle too much pressure, despite being the co-owner of the club. This is so much the case that Minnie became notably offended when Mickey believed she could not handle a task as mundane as traversing through the club's basement (granted, it was an extremely large basement). Minnie is capable, and even when serving as the "damsel in distress" under the hands of the villainous Pete, Minnie would often retaliate if given the chance, thus assisting Mickey in taking down the villain and saving the day. In the series Mickey Mouse, Minnie would sometimes fall into trouble, to which Mickey would go out of his way to rescue her — by the time he finds her, however, he learns that she was able to handle the situation herself.

== Trivia ==
* Like Mickey, Minnie's ears always face the same way, no matter which direction she is facing.
* According to Mortimer Mouse, Minnie is his former girlfriend who left him.
* When Wheel of Fortune hostess Vanna White hosted while host Pat Sajak was recovering from emergency surgery, Mickey and Minnie helped out.
* Minnie is occasionally cited as an unofficial member of the Disney Princesses and has been included in some of the franchise's material.
* The comic strip story The Gleam by Merrill De Maris and Floyd Gottfredson first gave her full name as Minerva Mouse. "Minerva" has since been a recurring alias for her. In the French translations, Minerva is actually her middle name, making her full name Minnie Minerva Mouse; in that case, Minnie is one of the two Disney icons to have officially a middle name (the other being Donald Duck, whose full name has been revealed to be Donald Fauntleroy Duck).
* Minnie appeared in concept art for Epic Mickey, but did not appear in the actual game herself (nor is she ever mentioned by Mickey). There was also no mention of her in Epic Mickey 2, but she did appear in Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion and appeared in one of the projectors at the end of the second Epic Mickey.
* According to Walt Disney, Mickey and Minnie Mouse have never been married on screen. But, in 1933, during an interview with Film Pictorial, Walt said, "In private life, Mickey is married to Minnie... What it really amounts to is that Minnie is, for screen purposes, his leading lady."
* Minnie's eyes are usually longer and wider than Mickey's, while her smile is slightly shorter and more closed than his. However, these details were not used in the earliest cartoon and some comic stories.
* In the popular ABC television series Once Upon a Time, several figurines of Minnie and Mickey can be seen, most notably in Mr. Gold's pawn shop.
* Minnie was used along with Mickey in a 1930 Aesop's Fables cartoon called "The Office Boy" and again in a 1931 Aesop's Fables cartoon called "Red Riding Hood" after Walt Disney admitted influence from this cartoon series which had been around even before Mickey was even created. But Walt sued its creator Paul Terry for "plagiarizing" his character which led to Aesop's Fables ending in 1933.
* It has been officially stated that Minnie shares the same birthday as Mickey Mouse (November 18). However, this is debatable, as numerous stories that take place on Mickey's birthday do not mention that it is also Minnie's birthday, and vice-versa.
* In Japanese Disney theme parks, it is more likely to find Minnie Mouse ears instead of Mickey Mouse ears.
* Minnie has over two-hundred outfits.
* Mickey, or Michael, means "the one who is like God", and Minnie or Minerva was the name of a Roman "goddess". This remarkable coincidence is, however, likely unforeseen.
* Minnie is one of the few Disney characters to have received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The other Disney characters that received Stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame include Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Winnie the Pooh, Tinker Bell and Snow White.
* Bob Iger once referred to Minnie as "the official First Lady of the Walt Disney company".
* Though Minnie does not appear in Legend of the Three Caballeros, she is briefly mentioned by Daisy in the episode "Mexico à Go-Go".
* Russi Taylor's co-stars Bill Farmer, Tony Anselmo and Tress MacNeille have revealed that after the passing of her then-husband Wayne Allwine in 2009, she had a very difficult time providing the voice of Minnie on various Mickey Mouse-related projects for a short period. She eventually recovered in the later years of her life.
