Olimar's loving wife, who seems a bit more concerned about Olimar's financial standing than his safety. Whenever she receives a monetary bonus on his behalf, she spends it on herself and her children. After receiving Olimar's final bonus, she goes a bit crazy, nastily forcing her children to study and taking a personal vacation for herself. She ends up blowing all the money on lottery tickets and goes back to her usual, loving nature. Olimar's notes in the Piklopedia imply that she is materialistic, especially in regards to jewels. | Olimar's loving wife, who seems a bit more concerned about Olimar's financial standing than his safety.
