Daisy Duck is an anthropomorphic duck who first appeared in the 1940 short, Mr. Duck Steps Out. A stylish prima-donna, Daisy is the girlfriend of Donald Duck, and the best friend of Minnie Mouse. Though she often scolds Donald over his anger issues, Daisy has an explosive temper of her own with more self-control. However, she generally suppresses her eccentricities in attempts to exude elegance and savoir-faire.
1937's cartoon Don Donald saw an early precursor of Daisy in the form of Donna Duck, who bore similar physical features and even had Daisy's temperament. The character would be renamed and refined in 1940 with the release of Mr. Duck Steps Out. Daisy would continue to appear in cartoons throughout the following decades, even playing the lead role in shorts like Sleepy Time Donald and Donald's Dilemma—both released in 1947. In the 1990s and early 2000s, Daisy would be fleshed out to have more of a comedic edge, with shows like Mickey Mouse Works and House of Mouse implementing a sassy and somewhat vain side to Daisy's personality.
Today, Daisy is one of Disney's most prominent characters. She appears as a member of the Sensational Six, featuring alongside Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto in multiple facets of the company including animation, merchandise, and theme parks.
