Patti Mayonnaise

Patti Mayonnaise is one of the main characters in the animated series Doug.

About the Character
Patti is an 11 (later 12) year-old girl who lives in the fictional city of Bluffington. Doug Funnie, the series' main character, had a secret crush on her since the first episode. Patti is Doug's closest female friend. Patti has a Southern drawl in her voice.

She's talented and athletic, and is usually sweet and kind to her friends. However, she can also be very competitive, which is noted in the season four episode "Doug Clobbers Patti". She can also get angered if someone crosses the line, notably in the episodes "Doug To The Rescue" and "Doug's Magic Trick".

In the Nickelodeon era of the series, Patti had a great singing voice, as heard in the season one episode "Doug's No Dummy". But in the Disney-era season seven episode "Doug's Sour Songbird", her singing sounded terrible, retconning her past singing talent.

When the series moved from Nickelodeon to ABC, Patti did get some episodes as the centered character, including "Doug's Chubby Buddy" (a "very special episode" about eating disorders), and "Patti's Dad Dilemma" (an episode where her father Chad starts dating Ms. Krystal, who he later married in the final episode).

Throughout almost all of the series, Doug and Patti are just friends, but there are some episodes such as "Doug and Patti Sittin' in a Tree" that have romantic implications. They also never kissed in the series (they did kiss in the episode "Doug Throws a Party", but that's in one of Doug's daydreams). However, the two finally start a romantic relationship in the series finale "Doug's Marriage Madness", when Patti asks Doug out on a date-date to the Summer Harvest Moon Festival near the end of the episode.

Patti is based on a girl that series creator Jim Jinkins had a crush on during his middle and high school years. She's named after two girls from Jinkins' childhood, Pam and Mayo.

Voice Actress
Patti is voiced by Constance Shulman in her first voice acting role. She would later play Yoga Jones in the Netflix series "Orange is the New Black". The only voice roles Shulman had besides Patti are as Milly Sparkles in "Star vs. the Forces of Evil" and Dr. Sphinxson in "OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes".

Physical Appearance
Patti has orange skin and yellow hair. In the Nickelodeon episodes, her hair is wavy. In the Disney episodes, she got a pixie cut. She wore a long-sleeved blue shirt with magenta polka dots throughout the entire series. As for her other clothes, she wore a blue skirt and magenta-and-white tennis shoes with white socks in the Nick episodes. In the Disney episodes, she wore blue pants and magenta slip-on shoes with white soles.

During a beach or pool setting, Patti usually wears a blue one-piece swimsuit with magenta polka dots, as seen in the episodes "Doug Door To Door", "Doug Tips The Scales", and "Beebe Goes Broke". She briefly wore a bikini version of her swimsuit in the episode "Doug's Older Woman".
