Marianne is Zoidberg's girlfriend. They met at her flower stand, in 3013, [7ACV25] when Zoidberg bought half a bouquet of daisies for his then-girlfriend Zindy, who later left him because of his foul stench. As a florist, Marianne would get very little business, likely due to keeping the stand next to Zoidberg's dumpster. A full bouquet of daisies cost six dollars.

Marianne has an English accent. She was born with no sense of smell, so she was not affected by Zoidberg's odour. As a doctor, Zoidberg was able to give her her sense of smell, but he feared that this would end their relationship. However, he nevertheless performed a nose transplant, and Marianne ended up liking his scent, as she had never learned a good smell from a bad smell.

After the surgery, Marianne got a new job collecting waste.

Production

Marianne was first seen in a preview clip for broadcast season 10, in February 2013. She was also featured in a piece of concept art [1] and in a promotional picture of her and Zoidberg being mugged by Roberto, [2] both released by Countdown to Futurama, in June, as well as in a preview clip for 7ACV25, [3] released a week before the episode aired.
