Daisy Duck is a cartoon character created in 1940 by Walt Disney Productions as the girlfriend of Donald Duck. Like Donald, Daisy is an anthropomorphic white duck, but has large eyelashes and ruffled tail feathers to suggest a skirt. She is often seen wearing a hair bow, blouse, and shoes. Daisy usually shows a strong affinity towards Donald, although she is often characterised as being more sophisticated than him. Daisy was introduced in the short film ''Mr. Duck Steps Out'' (1940) and was incorporated into Donald's comic stories several months later. She appeared in 11 short films between 1940 and 1954, and later in ''Mickey's Christmas Carol'' (1983) and ''Fantasia 2000'' (1999). In these roles Daisy was always a supporting character, with the exception of ''Donald's Dilemma'' (1947). Daisy has received considerable more screen time in television, making regular appearances in ''Quack Pack'' (1996), ''Mickey Mouse Works'' (1999-2000), ''House of Mouse'' (2001–2003), and ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'' (2006–present). Daisy has also appeared in several direct-to-video films such as ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'' (1999) and ''The Three Musketeers'' (2004). Daisy is the aunt of April, May, and June, three young girl ducks who act as Huey, Dewey, and Louie's female counterparts. Daisy is a close friend of Clarabelle Cow and Clara Cluck in the comics, and Minnie Mouse's best friend.〔(Daisy Visits Minnie ). ''(The Encyclopedia of Disney Animated Shorts ). Retrieved on March 17, 2008.〕 ==Characterization== Particularly in her early appearances, Daisy is portrayed as flirtatious, high maintenance, glamorous, graceful and loyal. She is deeply attracted to Donald and is very devoted to him. This is most clearly seen in ''Donald's Dilemma'' as Daisy is almost to the point of suicide after Donald forgets her. Besides her love for Donald, Daisy is also shown to be more sophisticated and intelligent than Donald. In ''Cured Duck'' Daisy even gives Donald an ultimatum regarding his temper. Daisy herself sometimes exhibits a temper, but she has much greater self-control than Donald. In the Mouse Works/House of Mouse cartoons, she was sometimes portrayed as oblivious, intrusive, enthusiastic and overly talkative. She'd invite herself in without asking and would tag along on trips where she wasn't wanted. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daisy Duck」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
