碧川 レタス, Lettuce Midorikawa (Bridget Verdant in the 4Kids dub) is one of the main characters from Tokyo Mew Mew. She is the third member of Tokyo Mew Mew to be introduced and her DNA is merged with a Finless Porpoise.
She is voiced by Kumi Sakuma and Ryoko Juni in the reboot in the Japanese version, and by Erica Schroeder in the English version.
Appearance[]
Lettuce's hair turns a lighter green and she doesn't wear glasses. She wears a green body suit, with green garters on her arm and left leg. She has a green choker that her Mew Pendant dangles from. She has white lace lining on her chocker and garters. She has long white antennas on her head that reach her feet. Lettuce's Mew Mark is on her chest, with two curves that resemble a fish.
Personality[]
Lettuce is a sweet, but shy and timid girl, who is also clumsy and ditzy. She is very polite and always speaks formally, even to her friends and family, who she speaks to all the time. Lettuce's family is very positive and they told her that she would be able to make friends when she thought she couldn't. Lettuce becomes more confident when she joins the mew mews and leaves the three girls that bully her (though in Mew Mew Power she still talks to them). Lettuce does not like to get involved in fights unless it will prevent her friends from being harmed. She is a shy, thirteen-year-old girl who is also an eighth-grader (second-year junior high student, by Japanese school standards) who attends Okumura Daifuzoku Junior High (Excalibur High School in the English anime adaptation) and works at Café Mew Mew when she's not in school. Lettuce's favorite foods are shortcakes, grapes, and stewed foods, while her least favorite foods are shiitake mushrooms.

Trivia[]
- In the Mew Mew Power dub, Lettuce is shown to be intelligent, while in the Japanese Tokyo Mew Mew version, is not mentioned to be especially smart.
- Even though all her attacks are based on water and she can swim as Mew Lettuce, she cannot normally swim.
- The finless porpoise (known as the "Sunameri" in Japan) Sunameri (Japanese finless porpoise) look like small beluga whales, and are called finless because they have no dorsal (back) fin. They are found in the costal waters of the Indo-Pacific.
- Lettuce's birthday, April 29, is the "Day of Green" in Japan.
- In Mew Mew Power, Lettuce's transformation into Mew Lettuce is not shown, because she is mostly naked at the start of it. What parts they do show are those that take place after her Mew uniform appears on her.
- In Japan, she has the same name and colour as Nao Midorikawa from Smile Pretty Cure! and Ryuuji Midorikawa from Inazuma Eleven.
