Daisy Duck is the female deuteragonist and a main character of the Mickey Mouse franchise. She is the primary and permanent girlfriend of Donald Duck, the best friend Minnie Mouse and the aunt of April, May, and June who first appeared in the short Mr. Duck Steps Out. Like Donald, Daisy is an anthropomorphic white duck with no pants, but has large eyelashes and ruffled tail feathers to suggest a skirt. She is often seen wearing a hair bow, blouse, and shoes. Daisy usually shows a strong affinity towards Donald, although she is often characterized as being more sophisticated than him.
Daisy does not like it when Donald loses his temper and flies into a rage and she has told him so on more than one occasion. Ironically, however, on the rare occasions when Daisy loses her cool, her temper proves to be even worse than Donald's (as seen in the Walt Disney animated short Cured Duck).
She first appears in the classic shorts as a supporting character until 1961 before she reappeared in 1983, where she appears in Mickey's Christmas Carol. Since then, she has become one of the main characters since 1987, where she served as the deuteragonist in Down and Out with Donald Duck. She then makes her first lead role as the tritagonist in Quack Pack. She became one of the main characters officially since Mickey Mouse Works and Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas. She plays her role in House of Mouse, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy: The Three Musketeers, and Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas. She soon played her role seriously in Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, its spin-offs, the Mickey Mouse Shorts from 2013-2019, Mickey and the Roaster Racers/Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures, its spin-offs, the Ducktales reboot, The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse and Mickey Mouse Funhouse.
She was voiced by the late Clarence Nash, the original voice of Donald and his nephews, Gloria Blondell, Ruth Clifford, Vivi Janiss, and June Foray in the old shorts. In her further appearances, she was voiced by the late Janet Waldo and Patricia Parris in Mickey's Christmas Carol, Tony Anselmo in Down and Out with Donald Duck, who is also the new voice Donald and his nephews, Kath Soucie in Quack Pack, Diane Michelle a few appearances in Mickey Mouse Works and House of Mouse as an alternative voice and the late Russi Taylor in Fantasia 2000, the original voice of Minnie. Currently, she is now voiced by Tress MacNeille.
Originally Daisy Duck was a minor character featured on special occasions in cartoons starring Donald Duck, Daisy would eventually become a recurring character in Disney productions, then turned main character, joining the likes of Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, the aforementioned Donald and Pluto, as one of the company's primary stars; making appearances in all forms of media around the world.
Her first appearance in the classic short features but only when Donald appeared. The first of five major roles in her appearances Mr. Duck Steps Out, The Nifty NinetiesDonald's Crime, Sleepy Time Donald, Donald's Dilemma, Donald's Dream Voice, Donald's Diary and How to Have an Accident at Work. She took her role serious in the comics and books as she and Donald go through tougher times than in the TV series. She made few appearances in Walt Disney anthology series, where relationship gets just as serious. Since the 1980s, she became a regular character and one of the main characters, which soon formed the Sensational Six.
Personality
Daisy is the beautiful girlfriend of Donald Duck and best friend of Minnie Mouse. Like Donald, she is capable of going into rages when upset and possibly more dangerous than Donald. Despite this, she manages to keep her temper down a lot better. In early appearances, Daisy was shown to be a loving girlfriend always there for Donald but always having the tendency to nag and change Donald's way but always for the better. She has faith in her boyfriend knowing that she is so important to him that he will strive to change but usually fails in the end.
In later years, Daisy became more than just a high maintenance female version of Donald, but a fun-loving and fashion forward diva. She often annoys her friends being that she loves to talk, is easily bored and at times can overstay her welcome. Even Donald would occasionally find her to be a nuisance. She loves the spotlight and can be very competitive but always looks for the best way to apologize, knowing her right and wrongs, and is shown to love and care for her friends deeply.
A lover of glamour, she's shown to be worldly, sophisticated, well bred and loves to be "surrounded by pretty things." Her confidence and aggressiveness point a sharp contrast to Minnie's shy, more demure personality. Her enthusiastic nature can get her to act a bit silly and ditzy, but she's actually quite mature when she needs to be. She's someone whose fiercely determined and strives to get what she wants by any means.

In the comic book version, Daisy Duck appears with her precursor Donna Duck, the character from the 1937 short film Don Donald in Bob Karp's Donald Duck daily strips from 1951 who is moving as Donald's neighbor, causing Daisy to be jealous.

Despite her worries, Daisy is still calm and sarcastic about her lover staying home and trusting that he'll come back, but it takes longer than expected. Upon discovering Donald's sickness, she tells Donald's family they're going after him, preparing for cold and once they get him, Daisy vows to kill him for his idiotic actions. When he arrives with the rest of the group, Daisy is frightened and thinks that he is dead when he is actually alive. At first, she becomes furious because Donald scared her to death and even slaps him in the face, but she then becomes happy because she missed Donald so much and joyously smooches and hugs him really tight.

Daisy Duck never appeared in the original Ducktales but is re-introduced in Season 3 of the DuckTales reboot.
