91	!!Ms. Marmalady
92	[[quoteright:165:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/msmarmalady.PNG]]
93	->'''Voiced by:''' Alysia Reiner
94	The main villain of the series, and a terrible chef. Ms. Marmalady wants to be the best chef in Puddlebrook, and is always cooking up schemes to foil Butterbean's success, but her plans are always foiled by the team's fairy magic and teamwork. She has a sister named Martha.
95
96	* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Her café used to be the only restaurant in Puddlebrook all together until Butterbean opened hers.
97	* BadBoss: Even though she can be nice to her “boys”, Marmalady mistreats her monkey minions and blames them for accidents that were her fault.
98	* CardCarryingVillain: She's evil and proud of it.
99	* CharacterFocus: Most of "A Fairy Happy Thanksgiving" is focused on Ms. Marmalady's perspective and she even gets to use the ConfessionCam, which is normally reserved for Butterbean and her team.
100	* ChildHater: Subverted. She despises Butterbean and her friends and wants to steal business from them, but she does show genuine love and affection for her baby nephew, Jakey.
101	* DevilInPlainSight: At least to Cricket, who knows she's not a nice lady.
102	* DullSurprise: Most of her dialogue is incredibly monotonous.
103	* EvenEvilHasStandards: In the ChristmasEpisode, she was appalled when Spork and Spatch stole the cake that Butterbean and her friends made for the Sugar Plum Fairy. She wanted to find out how they make it, not steal it.
104	* EvilCounterpart: To Butterbean. Her recipes are bland and dull and mostly consist of the same things, while Butterbean makes a wide array of recipes. Also, she mistreats her workers unlike Butterbean, who's kinder.
105	* EvilPlan: Put Butterbean's cafe out of business so hers can be the only restaurant in Puddlebrook once again.
106	* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Her plans to steal business from Butterbean will always fail, no matter what.
107	* HarmlessVillain:
108	** Ms. Marmalady tries to be menacing, but she poses no real threat and none of her plans work because she lacks the team spirit that Butterbean and her team have.
109	** "The Sugar Plum Fairy!" implies that she's not that bad of a person. "Fairy Happy Thanksgiving!" shows this too, even showing that she's capable of saying both "please" and "thank you" to Butterbean and her crew.
110	* LethalChef: She is a horrible chef, which is why her restaurant is unsuccessful, unlike Butterbean's. It was stated in the first episode all the café sells is disgusting Marmaloaf. She even states outright in "Fairy Happy Thanksgiving!" that "I can't cook. I don't cook." In another installment, "Poppy's Lost Cookbook!", she tries substituting salt in place of sugar.
111	-->'''Spatch''': Not sugar.
112	-->'''Miss Marmalady''': No. It's salt. But it ''looks'' like sugar, so what's the difference?
113	-->'''Spork''': Uh, well, sugar is sweet?
114	* PaletteSwap: She has a sister with brown hair, a red apron, and glasses and nothing else different, as seen in "The Marmalady Sisters!"
115	* PaperThinDisguise: In the ChristmasEpisode, she tries to dress up as the Sugar Plum Fairy to cheer up the main cast, but the Bean Team see right through her act. Of course, they're not angry with her.
116	* PrimAndProperBun: Her usual hairstyle.
117	* PromotionToOpeningTitles: As of the second season.
118	* PunnyName: On "marmalade" and "lady," and also "malady."
119	* TookALevelInBadass: She becomes rather more menacing after acquiring the bad beans in "The Legend of the Shadow Bean." She still fails because of her incompetence and her monkey minions, but she makes things a ''lot'' more difficult for Butterbean and the others.
120	* WingsDoNothing: Sure she's a winged fairy and all, but we have yet to see her fly once.
121
122	!!Spork and Spatch
123	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sporkandspatch.PNG]]
124	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChrisPhillips
125	Ms. Marmalady's monkey assistants. They work for her, but secretly root for Butterbean.
126	* AdorableEvilMinions: They're pretty adorable, even when being mischievous.
127	* TheDitz: They're not very bright. In "Summer Slushies!", they kept opening the freezer, causing the fruit-sicles to melt, when Ms. Marmalady specifically told them not to.
128	* EvilMinions: To Ms. Marmalady.
129	* MinionWithAnFInEvil: They rarely do anything right, and even root for the heroes.
130	* PromotionToOpeningTitles: Added to the theme alongside Ms. Marmalady as of Season 2.
131	* SimpletonVoice: Both of them sound just as dim-witted as they actually are.
132
133	!!Marzipan
134	Ms. Marmalady's pet cat.
135	* TeamPet: For the villains, in a similar way to Cookie.
