Marsupilamie is Mars' main lady in the comics and French cartoons (in fact she's his wife!) who is the more down-to-earth half of the couple. (It's a shame she wasn't part of the Disney version, for if she was, her nickname would've most likely had been "Mia", not only because it's a stand-out pronousiation of the silent-yet-feminine "e" at the end of her name, but also because it's a common Hispanic name suiting her Native South American origins). Mia resembles her husband, spots and all, except her eyes are farther apart, her body is curvier, the fur on her neck is less mane-like, and she likes to wear a tropical flower between her ears. Although she likes the flowers and fruit and other trinkets of love Mars gives her, she tends to throw them out while stressed out, as they mean nothing
