Which Disney character is Donald Duck’s longtime girlfriend?

Daisy Duck is Donald Duck’s longtime girlfriend in Disney cartoons and comics.

Daisy first appeared in the 1940 cartoon “Mr. Duck Steps Out,” where she was introduced as Donald’s romantic partner. Her design and personality developed over subsequent appearances, establishing her as confident, outspoken, and capable of matching Donald’s famously short temper.

Daisy is also closely connected with Minnie Mouse and Clarabelle Cow in many Disney stories. In comics and television productions, she frequently serves as a friend, rival, or practical counterbalance to Donald and his impulsive behavior.

A common mix-up is treating Daisy as Donald’s sister or as a member of the Duck family by birth. She is generally presented as Donald’s girlfriend, not his sibling. Her three nieces—April, May, and June—are separate recurring characters in Disney comics.
