Vanessa Doofenshmirtz

**Vanessa Doofenshmirtz** is the daughter of Heinz and Charlene Doofenshmirtz. She was born on the 15th of June, coincidentally the same day as Linda and Lawrence's wedding anniversary. ("Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together").

## Personality and Traits

Personality and Traits

Vanessa is sharp and sarcastic. Her behavior is comparable to that of a typical teenager. She cares about her reputation, having been upset when her clothes were mistakenly switched with Candace's. Vanessa has always been found with the "punk" or "goth" crowd, as seen in her childhood photos and her friends' appearances ("Hail Doofania!", "Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together", "Brain Drain").

It is evident that she desires to have a car of her own. She once tried to prove herself responsible enough to own a car by trying to acquire a rare element, Pizzazium Infinionite, in the Superduper Mega Superstore for her father when he needed it ("Vanessassary Roughness"). She has also shown this when he told her he'd brought her a gift which would be in his words, 'The key to her happiness', openly hoping for a car but dismayed to find out it was a Mary McGuffin doll she had asked for when she was seven. ("Finding Mary McGuffin")

She is or was on her school's swimming team. She also performed ballet as a young girl and was in a school production ("Finding Mary McGuffin").

Although she tries to deny it when around her father, she's evil but only shows the trait sometimes. Despite the fact that she denies this and that she has tried to bust her father, the fact that she helps him with his schemes makes her hypocritical. She has aided in Heinz's schemes on rare occasions, zapping pigeons with a hypnotic device as part of his plan to have them release their fecal waste upon the mayor on one ("Tree to Get Ready") and picking up blueprints for his "Space laser-inator" he would use to control Danville on another ("I Scream, You Scream"). She'd even snatched a Mary McGuffin doll from a little girl when she felt the need to keep her father's gift to her ("Finding Mary McGuffin"). The most prominent display of this trait was during the Summer Solstice while she was in Paris, when she "rented" a scooter, threatened Major Monogram with a hairdryer acting as if it was a weapon and hijacked Agent P's hover car to make her escape ("Phineas and Ferb: Summer Belongs to You!"). Though largely in denial of the evil inherited from her father, she has admitted her possession of it.

Vanessa has also shown good use of psychological tactics. She used them at the end of summer to convince her father that he is actually terrible at being evil, and also attempted them on Candace to get her to realize the reason why she keeps busting her brothers. ("Last Day of Summer", *Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Candace Against the Universe*)

## Physical Appearance

Vanessa has dark blue eyes, long dark brown hair, which she wears long and freely down her back. She wears a tight-fitting black leather jacket, tight black leggings, black calf-high, high heeled boots and brown socks. Vanessa didn't inherit any of her father's physical features, but she did inherit his coloring (the color of her hair and the color of the eyes). She inherited most of her facial features from her mom. Her clothes are in the basic military Goth fashion, or as her dad called it ("Minor Monogram), "Vampire-Pilgrim-Scuba Diver". When a mix-up at a dry cleaner in ("Hail Doofania!") leaves her in Candace's clothes, Vanessa thinks she looks like a candy cane.

## Relationships

### Heinz Doofenshmirtz

*Main article: Heinz and Vanessa's relationship*
Vanessa doesn't approve of her father's evil schemes, but often finds herself reluctantly participating in them anyway. She generally looks on when Perry the Platypus escapes and doesn't do anything to stop him when he's thwarting her father's evil schemes. Dr. Doofenshmirtz is under the impression that she has an interest in evil, which Dr. Doofenshmirtz calls it the "family business." Based on a photo showing her and her father, she appears to have always had a sour disposition, especially around her father.

When Dr. Doofenshmirtz introduces her as his "assistant" to Perry, Vanessa says, "Whatever," and dons earphones to listen to her MP3 player, ignoring them both. Towards the end of the day, she's disgusted that her father installed a self-destruct button on his latest contraption. She declares, "I am *so* out of here. This is the worst 'bring your daughter to work day' ever!" This is the first actual indication of their relationship. Vanessa is familiar with machines, as she can use the escape pod to flee from her father’s evil hideout ("S'Winter", "The Magnificent Few").

Vanessa gets frustrated or embarrassed by Heinz Doofenshmirtz's behavior quite quickly, which is typical for a girl of her age. She's especially annoyed with her father treating her like a little girl, whether it be by providing a super childish birthday party for her or him giving her a doll in her teen years ("I Scream, You Scream", "Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together", "S'Winter", "Hail Doofania!", "Finding Mary McGuffin" and "Skiddley Whiffers").

Despite her annoyance towards her father, Vanessa does appreciate some of what he does for her. He taught her how to drive, and she understands that he does try to look out for her best interests, thus allowing her to acknowledge that he's not always that bad of a dad. Also, in a moment of kindness, she's seen cheering for him during the kickball game (though she admitted to the person next to her that she didn't think he would succeed). Perhaps the most pressing example is when she helps her father find Pizzazium Infinionite in a store to prove herself responsible so she can get her own car ("Vanessassary Roughness").

After a search that took years, her father gives her a doll that she had wanted when she was seven. Her father said to her: "Remember how you said if I got you a little Mary McGuffin doll, I'd be the world's greatest dad?" to which she replied sourly: "Yeah, when I was, like, seven." Even though it wasn't a car like she'd wanted and was something she no longer had interest in, she appreciated that he never forgot about it and took the time to find one for her. Later, the doll falls into the hands of a little girl, and, after mulling over what to do for a moment, she snatches it away; evidently, it had much sentimental value to her. When Heinz finds out he happily takes it as a sign that she's becoming "evil" and Heinz says that they could build on her act of evil ("Finding Mary McGuffin"). Vanessa is upset that her father is always thinking about work, even on their vacation alone together. However, she's touched when he flies half-way around the world to find her again. Also, when he's about to be arrested by Major Monogram and Perry, she pulls out a hairdryer (which sort of looks like a gun) and helps him escape. Heinz takes this as a sign that Vanessa is, at least, a little bit evil, as Major Monogram and Perry didn't know it was a hairdryer when she pointed it at them ("Phineas and Ferb: Summer Belongs to You!").

### Roger Doofenshmirtz

Unlike her dad, she actually likes her Uncle Roger, the mayor. However, this doesn't stop her from helping her father with his plans to humiliate him and ruin his reputation, although she does voice her disdain at having to be involved ("Tree to Get Ready"); besides, she didn't care when Roger reacted in horror on TV after learning that Heinz has been elected as the first Tri-Governor of the Tri-State Area ("Last Day of Summer").

### Charlene Doofenshmirtz

On a few occasions, Vanessa tries to prove to her mother that Heinz is evil, much like Candace's attempts to bust her brothers (but far less frequently). Charlene dismisses Vanessa, usually by reassuring her that nobody's truly evil. It appears that Charlene is under the impression that Vanessa thinks her dad is evil because of their divorce, as she tells Vanessa that she and her father split because of their differences, not because he was a bad person. It appears that she spends more time with Charlene rather than Heinz since Vanessa doesn't appear in many episodes, although her parents alternate weekends. Her mother encourages her to donate to charity, which she appears to do fairly regularly. ("I Scream, You Scream", "Hail Doofania!" and "Finding Mary McGuffin"). Eventually, after Heinz succeeded in taking over the Tri-State Area by becoming its first Tri-Governor, Vanessa finally concurs with Charlene's belief that Heinz isn't really evil, describing him as more of a 'nice guy pretending to be evil' out of obligation over his miserable childhood. ("Last Day of Summer")

### Johnny

Vanessa had a crush on Johnny. Later, it's revealed that Johnny is Vanessa's boyfriend ("Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together", "Brain Drain"). Vanessa broke up with him because she thought Johnny felt that a video game was more important than her ("Minor Monogram"). Johnny was still very upset about the breakup when he and Vanessa returned to school and he tried to get back together with her, but Vanessa insisted on just remaining friends ("Doof 101").

### Lacie

Lacie is a friend that Vanessa talks on the phone with while she's wearing Candace's clothes. Although not stated on-screen, she could very well be considered Vanessa's version of Candace's friend Stacy Hirano, based on how Vanessa talked with her that day. ("Hail Doofania!")

### Perry the Platypus

*Main article: Perry and Vanessa's relationship*
Despite the animosity between Perry the Platypus and her father, Vanessa is usually indifferent to Perry as well as anything concerning her father's numerous evil schemes. On one occasion she thanked Perry for helping her father decorate for her birthday party ("Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together"), and she seems to always say hello to him when their paths cross ("Phineas and Ferb: Summer Belongs to You!"). She's one of the few people outside of The Agency and Dr. Doofenshmirtz who knows Perry's alternate identity as a secret agent.

### Candace Flynn

*Main article: Candace and Vanessa's relationship*
Vanessa and Candace have met on more than one occasion. They meet for the first time on the ski lift in Phineas and Ferb's massive backyard ski resort. Both of them expressed annoyance towards the "schemers" of their respective families: Candace's brothers and Vanessa's father ("S'Winter"). They both have similar desires to expose the "schemers" to their mothers, although Vanessa tries to prove her father is evil, while Candace merely wants to “bust” her brothers, desires which they both express when they sing the song "Busted" together ("I Scream, You Scream").

Their signature outfits were accidentally switched at the Dry Cleaners much to their dismay since their tastes in fashion are vastly different. They briefly meet at the Dry Cleaners, and they noticed that they're wearing each other's clothes ("Hail Doofania!"). Candace and Vanessa fought over a Mary McGuffin doll in the charity store. The doll literally fell into the hands of a little girl. While Candace decided that she was too old for dolls, Vanessa snatched the doll from the girl and made her cry. The incident might indicate the evil side of Vanessa's personality, although it was probably duе to the fact that Vanessa had some sentimental attachment to the doll, as it was a present for her that her father had been searching for years. Needless to say, Dr. Doofenshmirtz was very pleased with his daughter's evil conduct ("Finding Mary McGuffin").

When they're both sitting beside each other in the plane going around the world, she remembers Candace’s name. They also decide to stay by the plane together instead of going to meet Baljeet's Uncle Sabu. Vanessa asks what Ferb’s name is short for and Candace replies, "I... don't... know." ("Phineas and Ferb: Summer Belongs to You!") Candace also remembers Vanessa's name when they're at the library and briefly makes fun of Vanessa's last name. Vanessa invites her to her dad's place to look for Candace's book. While they're there, Vanessa asks Candace if she needs to find small disappearing objects, like socks, as finding missing objects is the subject of the book. Candace replies that she's looking for stuff like roller coasters, buildings to the moon and stampeding cows. When Candace leaves because her mother didn't see the "thing in the backyard," Vanessa asks if she still wants the book, and Candace responds, "It's flawed." ("The Doonkelberry Imperative")

In "Last Day of Summer", she meets Candace at her father's lair, Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated where Candace gives her back her DVDs and proceeds to talk about the mime movie and why he keeps letting go of balloons. This refers to "Phineas and Ferb: Summer Belongs to You!", when the gang's in Paris, France where there's a mime letting go of balloons as seen in the song "City of Love". Vanessa then lets Candace come in and says she'll go make some tea.

### Ferb Fletcher

*Main article: Ferb and Vanessa's relationship*
Ferb first encountered Vanessa while picking up blueprints at the Blueprint Heaven. Ferb was so distracted by her beauty that he ended up getting the wrong blueprint, ruining the plans of both Phineas and Dr. Doofenshmirtz ("I Scream, You Scream"). Ferb test-drove Meap's intergalactic spaceship around downtown Danville. When he spotted Vanessa on the street, he backed the ship up to her, lowered his sunglasses, adopting a cool-guy demeanor, which impressed Vanessa and made her smile ("The Chronicles of Meap"). Vanessa nearly learned Ferb's full name during a chance encounter at the Superduper Mega Superstore. Ferb saved her from a rampaging lawnmower and helped her obtain a canister of Pizzazium Infinionite for her dad. She rewarded him with a kiss on the cheek ("Vanessassary Roughness"). Vanessa has also wondered what Ferb is short for, as she asks Candace. Oddly, Candace doesn't know either ("Phineas and Ferb: Summer Belongs to You!"). Vanessa's father doesn't approve of Ferb ("The Chronicles of Meap" Character Commentary). During the Doof-zombie outbreak, Vanessa recognizes and calls out to Ferb at the bottom of the stairs and compliments him on his grappling hook shot ("Night of the Living Pharmacists").

Eventually, the two became a couple ("Act Your Age").

### Stacy Hirano

During Vanessa's Halloween party, Stacy was seen helping keep Vanessa's relationship with Monty a secret by switching places with Monty just before Major Monogram started to confront them, referring him as the "Water and Power guy". ("Druselsteinoween")

### Jeremy Johnson

When Jeremy goes to Doofenshmirtz's home to teach guitar lessons, Vanessa suddenly shows interest in him and his guitar, but quickly loses interest when he says he doesn't like hard rock ("The Lizard Whisperer").

### Monty Monogram

*Main article: Monty and Vanessa's relationship*
Starting with "Minor Monogram", Vanessa started a relationship with Major Monogram's son, Monty, by stating that she was done with her old boyfriend, Johnny, over a video game. After watching Monty defeat Rodrigo, a student of her father's, she said that was done with bad boys, and it was time to start seeing a good guy.

They met accidentally later on, at a coffee shop, and took a liking for one another basically from the start. Vanessa didn't want her father to interrupt her, as she was dating his enemy's son, so she asked Perry the Platypus to help her hide her presence from Heinz. Thanks to Perry, her father failed to notice them but then Monty started mocking Heinz's supposed stupidity. This made Vanessa mad, so she started remarking on his father, Major Monogram, instead. As they were about to bid one another farewell forever, though, they decided to continue with their relationship, in spite of what each of them thought of the other's father ("Sipping with the Enemy").

They're dating each other in secret and the only person who has seen them on a date is Carl Karl("My Sweet Ride"). They went to a Love Sandal concert together after they went to the coffee shop again. ("Thanks But No Thanks") Then Vannessa invited Monty to her costume party on Halloween and they danced together as a vampire queen and the Scarlet Pimpernel. ("Druselsteinoween")

However, considering that in the episode "Act Your Age", set ten years after the main series, Vanessa is dating Ferb Fletcher, it suggests that Vanessa and Monty have broken off their relationship during that gap of ten years.
