Oh, is this one of those "self-demonstrating" trope pages? Well, it's about time I got one, if you ask me! But since you were kind enough to visit it, I suppose I can indulge in telling you all about my gorgeous self.
My name is Minerva Mink, perhaps one of the most remembered characters from that TV show that focused on those three crazy kids instead of me for some reason. My first appearance on the show wasn't even an episode dedicated exclusively to me! It was an episode about one of those kids pretending he was Hercules (anyone with a brain would've made it about me and Hercules falling in love)! But eventually the people at Warner Bros. FINALLY got it through their heads that I deserved my own episodes and gave me some (I would've rather had the show, though.).
My first episode was "Meet Minerva", in which I was just minding my own business when some short fat dog named Newt approached me, making it known that he wanted to capture me and bring me to his master. I, however, used my natural beauty to ensure he was never successful. And then the episode ended with me stealing the heart of a total hunk, and the two of us living happily ever after.
My next episode, "Moon Over Minerva", introduced Wilford B. Wolf, this nerdy little dweeb who thought he had a chance with me! I know, right? However, I also ended up meeting this total hunk of a wolf who seemed to disappear whenever the moon got covered up, with Wilford always appearing in his place. Eventually, though, I realized that Wilford WAS that hunk, and would only be that hunk whenever the full moon was out. Of course, we reached a compromise, and I'm DEFINITELY willing to wait.
Aaand that was about it for appearances on the show. I know, I wasn't happy either! Seems some "concerned parents" thought I wasn't appropriate for a kids show. After that, the most I could get on the show was small bit appearances and cameos in episodes starring those kids and a bunch of other nobodies Warner Bros. seemed to think were more important that I was! Can you believe that!? And I'm not even allowed to appear on the revival show (well, aside for a brief cameo. They were nice enough to invite me back, unlike that awful Chicken Boo who tried to kill us all, which was what we wanted him to think). At least the comic book scene was more accepting of yours truly, and I got way more gigs in comics than the cartoon show that had to ditch me.
But enough about me, let's talk about my tropes:
- Alliterative Name: Get it? Minerva Mink.
- Barefoot Cartoon Animal: I wasn't big on shoes in my Animaniacs shorts. That changed in my comic stories, though.
- Dude Magnet: Hey, can I help it if every guy wants me?
- Furry Female Mane: My hair. Like it?
- Gold Digger: So I want to marry a man who's handsome, smart, and loaded. Is that so wrong?
- Head-Turning Beauty: Guys tend to go gaga at the sight of me. Not that they can be blamed, of course.
- Lady in Red: I have a red dress as part of my wardrobe.
- So Beautiful, It's a Curse: As much as I love having every man in the immediate vicinity go crazy for me, sometimes I wish they wouldn't, like when I'm just trying to do some errands!
- Swapped Roles: Okay, I admit it. Whenever I see a really hunky guy, I end up acting the exact same way most men do when they see me.
- Species Surname: Get it? I'm a mink, and my last name's Mink?
