Patricia "Patti" Mayonnaise is one of the main characters and the object of Doug's affections in the Nickelodeon-turned-Disney TV series Doug.
Personality[]
Patti is one of the friendliest girls in school and gets along with almost everyone. She met Doug when he first moved to Bluffington, and he instantly fell in love with her. She is a very well-performing student in both academics and sports. She also founded her own softball team, "Patti's Pulverizers", after being expelled from the school team. She also gets jealous when Doug is with other girls too.
Earlier in the series, while Doug had a huge crush on her, her feelings were only hinted at, though this was because the series was only from Doug's point of view. The first time her affections were explicitly shown was in "Doug to the Rescue" from the first season of the Nickelodeon series. She also mentions in "Doug's Magic Act", from the third season of the Nickelodeon series, that Doug is her favorite person to be with. In the Disney series, Guy Graham, an 8th grader, showed affection for her, though she is not appeared to be fully interested, only seeing him as a friend.
In Doug's 1st Movie, she did never believe Doug that Lucky Duck Lake was polluted, and this caused her to end up going with Guy to the Valentine's Dance. However, after finding out that Guy was planning on revealing the monster to be destroyed, she ended her relationship with him and began to dance with Doug for the remainder of the movie.
In the final episode of the Disney series, she asks Doug out on a "date-date", thus causing the two to become an official couple.
At home, she lives with her father. Her mother died in a car accident, which her father was also in, but despite surviving, he started using a wheelchair as a result. It's unknown whether Patti was present during the accident.
Appearance[]
Originally, in the Nickelodeon series, Patti had longer hair and darker skin. She wears a skirt and sneakers.
In the Disney series, Patti has a slightly lighter skin color, and her classic wavy blonde hair is now straight and is styled in a pixie cut. She wears blue hoop earrings, a blue-and-pink polka dot long-sleeved shirt, navy blue jeans, and pink slip-on shoes.
