Marianne

 is Zoidberg's girlfriend. They met at her flower stand, in 3013, 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 cost six dollars.

Marianne has a British accent. She was born with no sense of smell, so she was not affected by Zoidberg's foul stench. 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.
