Gosalyn Mallard

From Free net encyclopedia

Image:3dlullby.jpg Gosalyn Mallard is a fictional character created by Disney as the adopted daughter of Darkwing Duck in the Darkwing Duck animated series. She first appeared in the pilot episode Darkly Dawns the Duck.

Gosalyn (Born Gosalyn Waddlemeyer) was an orphan who lost of all of her biological relatives after her grandfather, Professor Waddlemeyer, died. She met Darkwing after Taurus Bulba almost kidnapped her. During their time together Darkwing and Gosalyn got to know each other and they forged a close bond. After Darkwing defeated Taurus, Gosalyn was eventually adopted by Darkwing's normal alter ego Drake Mallard and the two of them along with Launchpad McQuack moved in together. Gosalyn is best friends with Honker Muddlefoot, the boy next door. Knowing her adopted father's secret identity, she too has occasionally donned a crime fighting alter ego known as Quiverwing Quack. She also briefly adopted a costume similar in design to Darkwing's that she called the Crimson Quackette, and may have been the prototype for the Quiverwing Quack identity. Gosalyn sometimes gets on her dad's nerves but he loves her anyway, like any father loves his daughter.

Gosalyn also had a short stint as a crime-fighting slime creature after being mutated by Dr. Bushroot's GI-CU2 plant formula and rechristening herself "Yucky Duck." However, her slime-body was unstable and forced her to eat constantly, which resulted in her growing larger and less intelligent. She was eventually returned to normal.

Although it is quite clear that Gosalyn is Darkwing's adopted daughter, most recent Disney trivia resources incorrectly claim her to be his niece. The character was inspired by the creator Tad Stones' two-year-old daughter, though Gosalyn is of course older. Gosalyn is voiced by Christine Cavanaugh.pt:Gosalyn Mallard
