Patricia Martin, also known as Patty, is one of the main characters of Lucky Star. She is a first-year transfer student from the United States and a coworker of Konata Izumi. She is the biggest 'genki girl' of all the characters.

Appearance

Patricia has a slim physique; she has wavy, blonde hair in a pixie cut, and sky blue, down-slanted eyes. She has the second biggest chest size, after Miyuki Takara She is of average height for an American girl but is tall compared to her Japanese classmates.

Personality

Like Hiyori Tamura, Konata Izumi, and Izumi Wakase, Patricia is an otaku. Patricia loves anime and manga and has learned all her Japanese through them, leading to her having a very unusual Japanese vocabulary. Because of her nationality she has a bit of an accent compared to the other characters.

She tends to make generalizations of Japan and its culture based on otaku culture, even more so than Konata. She claims to enjoy a wide range of Japanese music, however, the only artists she listens to are those who have performed anime theme songs, and only those songs alone. She is extremely bubbly, energetic and lively, and has a high interest in yaoi.

Biography

Patricia is a transfer student from the United States. She is in the same class as Yutaka and Minami. She has short blonde hair and blue eyes. Patricia loves anime and manga and has learned all her Japanese through them, so in effect her Japanese is very weird. She is extremely energetic and lively and has a high interest in boys love. Aside from Miyuki, she has the second biggest chest size, which she is often ashamed about. Patricia works with Konata at the cosplay cafe.

Trivia

• Patricia is the 4th tallest character to Tadao (185 cm) and Sojiro (181 cm) and Nanako (171 cm) alongside Miyuki Takara and Ko Yasaka. This makes Patricia the tallest student / child of the anime.
• In reality it would likely be illegal for Patricia to rent her own apartment (the age of majority in Japan is 20). And it would logically be reasonable to assume that Ryōō High School would not provide complete room and board for their foreign exchange students (if Patricia is in the program) when most schools have theirs boarded by their students.
  • Therefore, it would be logical to assume that someone in Patricia's family has rented the apartment. Depending on the circumstances, it could also be construed that Patricia comes from a middle to upper class household. This is due to the possibility that the family may be providing the complete rent and utilities to the apartment plus meals and other expenses depending on how much Patricia is able to make at her part-time job (and furthermore, be able to cover them if she is unable to find/hold a job).
• Patricia shares her name with her dub voice actress, Patricia Ja Lee.
• She bears a strong resemblance to the Max Fleischer cartoon character Betty Boop. This is most likely the case since both are Americans, have short hair, and have a high-pitched voice.
  • It is worth nothing that the old Disney and Max Fleischer cartoons were the inspiration to any Japanese-related media as the otaku culture know today.
