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 paints, 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.
Trivia
When Daisy first appeared, her voice sounded that of Donald's. In her later/further appearances, she was given a normal voice from now on to be understood more.
Daisy is the first female anthropomorphic to have a busty upperchest, although it's only seen frequently in recent appearances.
Before introduction, Daisy was rumored to be another duck girl named Donna Duck, who was originally Donald's first girlfriend before she dumped him. That is until a comic featured the two meeting each other. Another featured the two attempting to be with Donald.
The company decided it was time for Donald to have a permanent girlfriend, so Daisy the right selection for him. Despite the issues that the two ducks go through together through their relationship, Daisy is still and always will forever be Donald's primary love interest and girlfriend no matter what.
Despite Daisy usually being part of the supporting characters before later one of the main protagonists, she does have a couple of moments that makes her unlikable:
In Cured Duck, although Donald's anger issue was the start of it all, her actions were just as worst than his. First she forced Donald out of her house for damaging it until he controlled his temper. In the final of the short, when Donald laughed at her strange looking hat, she started beating up Donald with her umbrella, starting the cycle over again.
In Donald's Double Trouble short, she began their relationship issue, she threaten to break-up with Donald if he didn't get his act together, although she was just as worst than his behavior, which made their situation worse. After accident revolving around Donald and his double Dapper Duck, who looks entirely like him, she started to swear at the end causing them both runaway in fear.
In the end of Sleepy Time Donald, although she was revealed and happy that her lover was safe, she was frustrated and annoyed to not only find out he was sleep walking throughout the whole short but also got her injured as well and pushes him aside at least for the night.
In the 1950 short Crazy Over Daisy, set in the 1890s. Donald seems in good mood and on his way for his date with Daisy but when Chip 'N Dale start to antagonize to Donald, results in one of their typical fights. Daisy interrupts in the final scene of episode accusing to Donald of being cruel to the two "innocent" chipmunks, and Donald had to forget of this date.
In Donald's Dilemma, she missed Donald dearly and did anything to get him back, but her motives were still selfish like as she wanted him for herself than the world wanted him. Even though she got him back, this destroyed Donald's music career for good but she never told him about it.
In Donald's Diary, when Donald started dreaming of the duck couple's wedding while waiting for his beloved sweetheart while she was taking a shower, Daisy was shown to a very selfish and hard nose battle axe woman, turning Donald into her slave, which causes him to runaway from her to avoid that from happening to him.
In the comic book version, Daisy Duck appear 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. This establishes the two as separate characters, and marks the first time they appear together in a story.
The comics and book series features her at her almost worse as her times with Donald seem a lot more serious and dangerous. She still somehow becomes remorseful for her actions.
In Mickey Mouse Works, although she did her actions unintentionally, Daisy caused a lot of problems for Donald, Minnie, and Mickey, featured in "Daisy's Road Trip", "Donald's Dynamite: Opera Box", "Double Date Don", "Mickey's Mixed Nuts", "Minnie Visits Daisy", "Whitewater Donald", "Domesticated Donald", "Donald's Charmed Date", "Donald's Dinner Date", "Bird Brained Donald", "Computer.don", "Daisy Bothers Minnie", "Daisy's Big Sale", and "Mickey's Big Break". Her most decent one is her relationship issues with Donald in "Double Date Don". When Clara started heckling and stalking Donald while he building a break wall for Daisy, she thought she was cheating on her, causing her get angry without asking, which gives him the cold shoulder and shut the door on him. However, before he and Clara could get marry, Daisy soon stopped, once she realized her terrible mistake but still took it the wrong way: she thought she drove Donald and made turn to Clara by making work on the brick wall. Although he knew it would be lying, Donald knew it was the only to get Daisy back so he agreed. Despite being forgiven, Daisy still end up paying the price by building on the brick wall she made Donald do.
In the House of Mouse episode Unplugged the Club, Daisy gave a slap in the face to Donald for kissing her after the blackout caused by Pete.
In Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas, she bosses around Donald, forcing him to stay out of his peaceful break to shove down commercialism onto his face, and gives a bad influence to everyone of being selfish on Christmas applying to those who even need a slight break from it. In the first segment of the movie, she attempts to sabotage and upstage Minnie after her jealously takes over before Minnie's accident which makes them both come to their senses.
Cheats in a three legged compaction in Three Legged Race and a game of tennis with Donald against Mickey and Minnie in Two Can't Play.
Daisy like a part version of Donald and Minnie. She wears a bow like Minnie, but wears no pants like Donald. The bottom of her feathers are in the form a skirt.
Unlike the rest of the Sensational Six and other characters, Daisy was the only one not be full naked onscreen because her chest, which is very busty almost all the time, wouldn't be good of to the public. That is until the Mickey Mouse TV series showed almost entirely naked when she shown being massaged and her chest nearly entirely shown.
In the episode House of Magic of House of Mouse (chapter 16 of season 3), Daisy steals the Magic Wand of Fairy Godmother from 1950 version of Cinderella with the intention of perform a magic act but accidentally makes disappear to the audience.

According to Don Rosa, Daisy is the sister of Donald's brother-in-law. Daisy's brother had married Donald's twin sister, Della Duck, and together, the two became the parents of Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck. That would make her Donald's sister-in-law and Huey, Dewey and Louie's paternal aunt. That soon proved to be false.
Daisy Duck never appeared in the original Ducktales but is re-introduced in Season 3 of the DuckTales reboot. Unlike the other series, she has no connection with Donald, so the two ducks met each other for the first time in the series. Her appearance is also heavily design as the one she had in the short Donald's Diary.
