History WesternAnimation / MinnieMouse

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Girly Girl to [[WesternAnimation/DaisyDuck Daisy's]] Tomboy.

* ChastityCouple: According to Walt, she and Mickey are in fact married outside of their acting careers, and either don't seem to have a sex life (much less children), are holding off on lovemaking or are choosing to keep that a secret. The current powers-that-be appear to have ignored this completely, as the Paul Rudish short “[[Recap/MickeyMouseS1E17ThirdWheel Third Wheel]]" ends with the strong implication that they [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar had hot sex]], [[spoiler:and inside Goofy's stomach, no less!]], and fans have made fan fictions and fan art depicting Minnie becoming the mother to her and Mickey's brood. The short ''Mickey's Nightmare'' tries to explore this but uses storks (which are symbolic of womanly fertility) as well as watering a flower garden to symbolize sex.

* CuteButCacophonic: Adorable in several instances, but her voice [[TastesLikeDiabetes can grate on your nerves.]]
* DamselInDistress: Her role in many of the classic shorts.

* DenserAndWackier: After years of her typically being portrayed as CloserToEarth, WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse2013 intentionally adapts her as just as wacky and eccentric as the other characters, sometimes - when it comes to [[ADayInTheLimelight her starring cartoons]] - even moreso.

* FormerlyFat: ''Recap/MickeyMouseS2E14"Doggone Biscuits"'' reveals she used to be morbidly obese.

* HartmanHips: In ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse2013'', she now sports a fat round bottom. "Carnival" in particular has her [[ShakingTheRump emphasising its size]].

* OutOfCharacterMoment: While she's always sweet-natured, she encourages Mickey to rip Julius' ears off in ''WesternAnimation/RunawayBrain'' and [[FreakyFridayFlip Julius was still in Mickey's body]] when she said that.
* PinkMeansFeminine: Her outfits have become increasingly more pink.

* HotterAndSexier: In a ''way'' different way than what one would expect. As the years have gone by, Disney has added several instances of her emphasizing her hips, making naughty jokes, and generally being more saucy in nature. ''WesternAnimation/RunawayBrain'' has her shopping for swimsuits and teasing a Julius-possessed Mickey, and several bits of artwork cards in ''Videogame/DisneyMagicalWorld'' have her in lightly suggestive poses.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Minnie is never called "Minerva".

* DubNameChange: The comic strip story ''The Gleam'' has Minnie's full name as "Minerva Mouse". In the French translations, Minerva is her ''middle'' name, with her full name being "Minnie Minerva Mouse".

* HappilyMarried: According to Walt, Mickey and Minnie are canonically married however the two can be in any stage of a relationship depending on what the plot requires.

* ChastityCouple: According to Walt, she and Mickey are in fact married outside of their acting careers, and either don't seem to have a sex life (much less children) or choose to keep that a secret. The current powers-that-be appear to have ignored this completely, as the Paul Rudish short “[[Recap/MickeyMouseS1E17ThirdWheel Third Wheel]]" ends with the strong implication that they [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar had hot sex]], [[spoiler:and inside Goofy's stomach, no less!]], and fans have made fan fictions and fan art depicting Minnie becoming the mother to her and Mickey's brood. The short ''Mickey's Nightmare'' tries to explore this but uses storks (which are symbolic of womanly fertility) as well as watering a flower garden to symbolize sex.

* ChastityCouple: According to Walt, she and Mickey are in fact married outside of their acting careers, and either don't seem to have a sex life (much less children) or choose to keep that a secret. However, the recent short ''Third Wheel'' seems to ignore this entirely, and fans have made fan fictions and fan art depicting Minnie becoming the mother to her and Mickey's brood.

%%* RodentsOfUnusualSize

* SatelliteCharacter: Really doesn't have much of a personality outside of her interactions with Mickey and co. Some later projects such as ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' have tried to subvert this and make her an individual character, usually by making her a foil for Daisy.
