Marzipan is a minor villain and an antagonist from the Adventures of the Gummi Bears episode "Eye of the Beholder".
History[]
She has magical powers that can enchant people. She almost marries King Gregor, and even had Princess Calla under a spell to the point that she almost breaks her promise and exposes her own friends, the Gummi Bears, to the humans of Dunwyn.
But Marzipan's plans are foiled by Sunni, who figures out that sugar is her only weakness.
She usually appears as an enchanting young woman, but this look is merely a deception; her true form is that of a hunched-over, green-skinned hag.
Trivia[]
- She is named after the confection marzipan, which primarily consists of ground almonds and sugar.
- This is ironic on some level, as sugar is her only weakness, and causes her to revert to her true form.
- Marzipan is one of a relatively small group of humans who find out about the existence of Gummi Bears during the course of the series. Other humans that become explicitly aware of the bears, are Cavin, Princess Calla, Duke Igthorn, Lady Bane, Sir Gawain, Princess Marie, Angelo Davini, Flint Shrubwood, the Hunter, Rotocelli, Doctor Dexter, Lord Willoughby, Prince Yen Moon and his subjects, Carney's assistant from the episode "Never Give a Gummi an Even Break", and the boy who turned himself into a Giant, from the episode "When You Wish Upon a Stone".
