Character Profile and Personality

"Fifi in a Dress and High Heels" by Megastar7. Although not usually seen wearing anything other than her ribbon, the skunk was seen in a similar clothing in one occaision.

Fifi is a teenaged female parody of the Looney Tunes character Pepé Le Pew, who occasionally, though not often, serves as her mentor in the series. She may also be based on Miss Mam'selle Hepzibah, another French female skunk from the comic strip Pogo. Her fur is purple and white, as opposed to a normal skunk's black and white, and she keeps a ribbon tied to her hair which causes it to fall over one eye, giving her a sultry, coquettish look. She has a massive tail, nearly twice the size of her own body, which is the source of her powerful odor. She uses her tail for a number of things, including a pillow, a pom-pom and a snare to capture potential boyfriends before they can get away. “Young Men” redirects here. ...

Like her mentor, Pepé Le Pew, Fifi is French, very flirtatious. She mainly speaks English with a few French words. She also shares the same faults as her idol: intense skunk-odor, and an inability to take "no" for an answer when pursuing the romantic object of her choice. When she falls in love, she loses all self-control, and will not allow anything to stop her from literally capturing her prey.

Fifi's putrid stench has been shown to be powerful-enough to melt solid steel. and the more she falls in love, the stronger her stench gets. However, unlike Pepe, who reeks all the time, Fifi's musk only comes into play when she is attracted to someone, or when it would advance the plot, thus allowing her to interact with other characters when she is not the central focus of the story. Fifi's character is also taken in a somewhat sympathetic light, for she, alone, longs for a lover, leaving many people to feel sorry for her. Also, while Pepe seems oblivious of himself smelling bad, Fifi realizes she has a foul odor and often uses it to her advantage during desperate situations. For instance, in "Out of Odor", she wielded her tail like a machine gun to fire clouds of musk. It is also shown that her smell can be erased by tomato juice, but the effects are only temporary and can be reversed quickly by washing the tomato juice off. Moschus moschiferus, Siberian musk deer Musk is the name originally given to a substance with a penetrating odor obtained from a gland of the male musk deer, which is situated between its stomach and genitals. ... Tomato juice is a juice made from squeezed tomatoes. ...

Fifi is somewhat depicted as a bimbo. Being so, she can easily be tricked into anything. For instance, in "Out of Odor," she fell for Elmyra's trap, who was pretending to be Pepe. Simultaneously, Fifi is also referred to as being something of a feminist, and believes that there's nothing a boy could do that she couldn't do herself. However, her remarks toward boys are usually very affectionate and amusing. For instance, in "Aroma Amore", Fifi affectionately remarked, "Leettle boys are such children!"

Fifi is also far more versatile than her Looney Tunes counterpart, appearing in stories that do not entirely revolve around her lust for companionship. Apart from being a lover, her many misadventures include the Prom, looking for mature boys, having to deal with Elmyra (eventhough winding up getting captured and then freed), and attempting to get an autograph from a famous movie star skunk hunk.

Character History and Relationships

Best Friends & Family

Like the other characters in the series, Fifi attends Acme Looniversity to be properly educated in the techniques of being a successful cartoon character. Fifi's best friends in the series were fellow classmates, Babs Bunny and Shirley the Loon. The majority of Fifi's appearances were as a part of this group, and they proceeded to engage in numerous adventures. Babs and Buster Bunny are cartoon characters from the Warner Bros. ... Shirley Shirley the Loon McLoon is a fictional character, a female waterfowl citizen of Acme Acres featured in Tiny Toon Adventures. ...

Together, they were the cheerleaders for the Acme Looniversity Football Team, and at one point, the unofficial back-up players. Another time, in search of more mature men, Fifi, Babs and Shirley all went to a high-class dance only to find that all the boys there were stuck-up. However, most of their time together was spent just hanging out and doing girl stuff. Cheerleading is recreational activity and sometimes competitive sport involving organised routines including elements of dance and gymnastics to encourage crowds to cheer on sports teams. ...

Like Buster Bunny, Fifi's family is occasionally spoken of but never seen. After capturing Furrball (whom she'd mistaken for a cute boy-skunk), she had planned to introduce him to her family. But despite having a family, she lives alone in a beat-up, red Cadillac in the Acme Acres Junkyard. Babs and Buster Bunny are cartoon characters from the Warner Bros. ...

Love Interests

Furrball and Calamity Coyote

Fifi once mistook Furrball for a boy skunk in "Aroma Amore", and made the same mistake with Calamity Coyote in "Love Stinks". The results were predictable enough, with Fifi amorously pursuing the terrified boys across Acme Acres with reckless abandon (not unlike Pepe when pursuing Penelope Pussycat), determined to make them her boyfriends. After being repeatedly captured, cuddled and kissed by the bigger and stronger skunkette, both luckless boys managed to escape a smelly fate in the same fashion: by removing their own white stripes and finding someone else (someone they did not like) for Fifi to chase (Furrball also did it because he felt bad for Fifi and thought having a new prospective boyfriend to chase would cheer her up).

Johnny Pew

In the direct-to-video Tiny Toons movie How I Spent My Vacation, Fifi finds brief joy with a genuine skunk; this one being a movie-star named Johnny Pew. After waiting on him hand-and-foot in exchange for an autograph, Fifi discovers him to be an arrogant jerk when he gives her autograph away to a voluptuous female skunk named Bimbette. Fifi promptly and literally kicks him to the curb while at a movie theater where Johnny was capturerd by Elmyra and was forced to be her pet "kitty" (a fate that Fifi herself knows all too well!).

Johnny Pew was voiced by Rob Paulsen. This article is about the voice actor Rob Paulsen. ...

Buster Bunny

Fifi has also been known to have brief flings with other boys in Acme Acres.

In the first segment of the episode "Return to the Acme Acres Zone", titled "Real Kids Don't Eat Broccoli", Fifi meets Buster Bunny (playing an old-fashioned detective) at a club and insists that they dance. After forcing Buster to engage her in a lengthy tango, Fifi plants a big kiss on him. "Fifi", however, was revealed to be an evil robot clone by the episode's end. Broccoli is a plant of the Cabbage family, Brassicaceae (formerly Cruciferae). ... Babs and Buster Bunny are cartoon characters from the Warner Bros. ... A couple dances Argentine Tango. ...

Dizzy Devil

In the second segment of the episode "New Class Day", titled "Sound-Off", all the Tiny Toons characters are thrown into a silent film. Dizzy Devil chases Buster and Babs into a hollow tree (or thinks he does), but when he reaches in he pulls out a swooning Fifi by her tail. Fifi sighs "What a man!" and promptly chases Dizzy down the street. Dizzy attempts to escape the love-struck Fifi on a bicycle, but after a considerable amount of pedaling discovers it to be a stationary piece of exercise equipment that she had set-up to trap him.

Exercise equipment in a gymnastic-hall Exercise equipment is any object used in exercise. ...

Hamton J. Pig

However, Fifi seemed to have sparked an official relationship with Hamton J. Pig, one of mutual interest. It was also shown that Hamton is more than willing to ignore her stink for her attention, which he often succeeds in doing. Fifi may also perhaps not give off her musk around Hamton as no clouds of stench appear visible whenever she embraces him. Hamton is also the only one of her love interests able to endure Fifi's strong embrace (possibly because he's perhaps the only one of her boyfriends whose never tried to struggle out of it) as he wouldn't seem to find it scarier than torture, and seems to, at best, even slightly enjoy it (albeit because of the attention he gets in return). Hamton Hamton Joseph Pig (usually just called Hamton) is a fictional anthropomorphic pig from the 1990s animated series Tiny Toon Adventures. ...

In "Prom-ise Her Anything", Hamton asked Fifi to be his date to the Prom, and Fifi enthusiastically accepted in a heartbeat. A successful exercise in "opposites attract", Fifi and Hamton were seen together on many more occasions through the run of the show. Prom-Ise Her Anything is an episode of the Warner Brothers series Tiny Toon Adventures. ...

Rivals

Elmyra Duff

Like most characters on the show, Fifi's encounters with Elmyra usually involve the latter trying to make the former a pet. In "Hare Today, Gone Tomorrow" Fifi is one of Elmyra's "pets"; after Elmyra catches Buster, he leads Fifi and Elmyra's other captives on a daring escape. When Buster is recaptured, Fifi and the others work with Babs to rescue him and teach Elmyra a lesson. This article or section does not cite any references or sources. ...

Fifi and all her friends were once pursued by Elmyra Duff in the episode "The Horror of Slumber Party Mountain". Elmyra had disguised herself as a gruesome monster and was picking-off the Tiny Toons cast one-by-one to make them her pets. They all eventually freed themselves by the end of the episode. Elmyra, full of love, having snared Buster. ... This is a list of episodes from the animated television series Tiny Toon Adventures. ...

Elmyra attempted (successfully) to make Fifi her pet in "Out of Odor", when Elmyra mistook her for a cat (she assumed "skunk" meant "stinky kitty"). She disguised herself as Pepe Le Pew, went to her Cadillac, and Fifi fell for the ruse, after which Elmyra squished tomatoes all over Fifi, which nullified her scent. Fifi regained her odor after washing off all the tomato juice, but Elmyra's nose became clogged due to a rose allergy, because of this, Elmyra was able to make poor Fifi her pet(theis episode takes place before Hare Today, Gone Tomorrow).

Bimbette

Fifi briefly encountered a vuluptuous pink skunk named Bimbette for the affections of Johnny Pew in How I Spent My Vacation. In the end, Fifi lost Johnny's attention to Bimbette. However, Fifi discovered it to be no total loss; Johnny was arrogant and insensitive.

Bimbette was also voiced by Kath Soucie. Kath Soucie (born February 20, 1967 in New York City) (sometimes credited as Souci or Kath E. Soucie) is an American voice actress, perhaps best known for her work as the voice of the Princess Sally of (SatAM) or the Saturday morning cartoon of Sonic The Hedgehog. ...

Miscellaneous trivia

• In the first segment of the episode "New Class Day", titled "Just-Us League of Supertoons", Fifi was a member of the mighty superhero team, the Just-Us League of Supertoons. She was the team's sultry sorceress, Scentanna the Mystical Maiden of Musk'. An obvious parody of the DC Comics all-star superhero team, the Justice League of America, Fifi's character of Scentanna was an homage to the JLA's classic magic-wielding sorceress, Zatanna. (The episode was written by Paul Dini with help from Bruce Timm, the two driving forces behind the DC Animated Universe.)
• Fifi's seldomly-used ending tagline was, "Au revoir mon petite potato du couch!" ("Goodbye my little couch potato!") as she flirtatiously waved her tail at the audience. This ending tagline was only used three times, for the episodes "Viewer Mail Day", "No Toon is an Island" and "Music Day".
• Almost every episode of Tiny Toon Adventures (and its followers) also contained fake text gags within the credits which one could only catch with the pause button. The text gag for the episode "Love Disconnection" read "Don't Tell Anyone - Fifi Is Secretly Engaged To Paul Dini". Paul Dini was one of the show's head writers, and the rumor of Fifi being engaged to him was obviously incorrect.
• Fifi made a brief cameo in the Animaniacs segment "Survey Ladies". In that episode, she is seen running a perfume shop and tries to help Yakko, Wakko, and Dot find the right cologne for Dr. Scratchansniff. (The end credits for that episode mistakenly spell her surname as "LaFlume".)
• Early production artwork illustrated by Dan Hackett shows Fifi as a standard black and white skunk, as opposed to the purple and white version seen in the final product. Her design also featured a few other variations in build and design.
