Cake—Fionna's best friend/adoptive sister and Mo-Chro's girlfriend. She doesn't look much like Jake aside from their body proportions. She has white eyes in which the black pupils become circular if surprised, excited, shocked, or scared. She has a cat muzzle and a small nose (compared to Jake's), cat ears, white fur with many coffee colored spots, and a large bushy tail. Cake may know Morse code in order to speak to Lord Monochromicorn, similar to how Jake knows Korean in order to speak to Lady Rainicorn. Cake plays a hammered dulcimer, as opposed to a viola. Her tail "frizzes out" if it is agitated or worried. As a Lumpy Space 'cat', she is a light color of maroon with large spots of fuchsia to match her coffee-colored spots. Her tail is now lumpy and more beaver-tail-like.
Marshal Lee—is a counterpart of Marceline. He has the same abilities as Marceline. Marshall Lee has pointy ears and light blue skin. His hair is shorter than Marceline's but he has a matching permanent bite mark. He initially wore a grey plaid shirt, but now wears a red and black plaid shirt. He also wears dark blue jeans, and brownish-white sneakers. His outfits differ in the episodes, though, like Prince Gumball. Though Marceline has circle-shaped eyes, his eyes are rectangular. Unlike Marceline's forked, snake-like tongue, Marshall Lee's tongue is rounded. Marshall Lee is a wild rock star. Centuries of wandering the Land of Aaa have made him a fearless daredevil. He and Marceline both have regular electric bass guitars.
Fionna—is a 13-year-old adventurer and Cake's adoptive sister. While usually appearing as black dots, her eyes are seen as blue when enlarged. She wears a rabbit-themed hat (similar to Finn's bear-themed hat) with exposed locks of blonde hair. Unlike Finn, her neck is shown. Her outfit includes a teal blue shirt with elbow-length sleeves, a dark blue skirt, and knee-high socks with two thin horizontal stripes at the top. Fionna is heavier set than. She has a green backpack (similar to Finn's) and Mary Jane shoes. Her name was officially changed from "Fiona" to "Fionna," presumably to make it more similar to Finn's name. The pronunciation, however, has remained unchanged. Like Finn and his crush on Princess Bubblegum, it is revealed in many portraits posted that Fionna has a crush on Prince Gumball. Fionna has buck teeth like a rabbit. Fionna, like Finn, is Cake's adoptive sister. It is shown that as a Lumpy Space girl, she is about 3 feet tall. The top of her has two long white lumps like her hat. The bottom of her is the same as her skirt. She has a small mass of yellow for her small piece of hair.
Minion
Title Card
Fionna awaits, scared, for her next order from Marshall Lee as he crosses his legs smugly. Cake watches through the window with worry.
Cake cheered and whooped as she slid down the 1/16-of-a-mile-long bone like a slide on her stomach. The bone-slide was bumpy yet smooth and perfect for sliding and making time records on. After a minute, she landed in the soft pile of dirt at the end.
"Do it, Fifi!" She called.
Fionna slid down the bone at lightning speed. When she reached the end, she crashed into the pile, practically exploding it. Fionna and Cake went flying everywhere.
"AWESOME!" Fionna cheered.
"Bonehead." Cake chuckled, pointing at her bone-shaped head, like she had swallowed a giant bone on the way down.
Fionna laughed.
"Ohhhhhhh!"
"Someone needs our help!" Fionna said quickly, already running. Cake puked out the bone and ran after her.
Fionna and Cake peeked through the bushes at the scene.
"What is it about MINION FOR LIFE that you don't understand?"
"Come on!" The old woman cried.
"Cupcake!" Fionna pointed at the pale-skinned, black-haired teen. "It's Marshall Lee! The Vampire King!"
Cake whimpered and fidgeted.
"I've served you faithfully, haven't I?" The old woman sobbed. "Can't you find the compassion to release this poor old body? Let me drink from the sweet cup of freedom?"
Fionna sniffed back a tear.
Marshall Lee sighed with a smile. Instead of his usual shirt and jeans, he was wearing a deep purple dress, ripped gray-and-black sleeves, ripped gray jeans, and purple sneakers. "Minion for life means...FOR LIFE!"
"Cupcake," Fionna whispered, never removing her eyes from the Vampire King, "Are you still petrified of vampires?"
"No..." Cake lied, now shrunken down to the size of a baseball, shaking. "I'm not..."
"Fall on the ground!" Marshall Lee demanded. "For me!"
"Please don't make me!" The old woman sobbed.
"DO IT, MINION!"
"Yes, Master..." The old woman plopped to the ground like her legs were shut off.
"Now cry for me."
"OK, I don't wanna cry, but I'll do it for you." The old woman mumbled into the grass. She began to bawl.
"HEY! CUT THAT OUT!" Fionna snapped, running from behind the bushes. Cake reluctantly ran after her.
Marshall Lee turned around. "Oh, hey, Fionna."
"Stop making this old gal cry!" Fionna yelled, wrapping her arms around the sobbing lady.
"I can make her do whatever I like." Marshall Lee smirked. "She's my minion. Watch. Minion, amuse me."
With a sigh, the old woman took her cane, stuck in into the ground, and lifted up from the ground, balancing on it in the air as Fionna and Cake looked on with shock. After a minute, however, the old woman began to shake and began to whimper.
"Stop it!" Fionna yelled angrily at Marshall Lee.
"Hop around in a circle." Marshall Lee said.
The old woman did so. She began to pant and heave.
The wooden cane snapped.
"OLD LADY!" Fionna screamed.
The woman fell with a strange crack on the ground. "My spine..."
"LEAVE HER ALONE!" Fionna screamed, running to the old woman's side with Cake. She turned to the woman. "Don't worry, I'll see it that you're set free."
"How are you gonna pull that off, heroin?"
"I'll do what I need to do! I'll even take her place!"
"Do you mean it?" Marshall Lee smirked evilly.
"Uh..." Fionna looked down at the old woman.
The woman groaned in pain.
"YES I WILL!"
"WHAT?" Cake screamed.
"Well," Marhsall Lee paused, "A minion is a minion. Deal! Old minion, you're free! Fionna's my new minion now!"
"WOO HOO!" The woman cheered loudly before back-flipping out of view. "LATER, SUCKERS! I'M FREE!"
Fionna and Cake: 0o0
"Fifi, what are you doing?" Cake exclaimed. "You just made yourself a minion to the Devil's Concubine! You're probably going to have to murder children and puppies and stuff!"
Marshall Lee made a grotesque, nightmarish face with jagged teeth.
Cake yelped and hugged Fionna tightly.
"Maybe so," Fionna said softly, "But I couldn't let that old woman die a minion. My code of honor wouldn't allow it."
Marshall Lee laughed, causing Fionna and Cake to glare. "What a goody two shoes! My code of honor wouldn't allow it. I'm gonna like having you as my minion for life."
"MINION FOR LIFE MY TAIL!" Cake screeched. "LISTEN HERE, MARSHALL LEE!"
"Yes, Cake?" Marshall Lee said darkly. "What would you like to discuss?"
"N-nothing!" Cake ran behind Fionna. "I want to help you out of this, Fifi, but he scares the peanut out of my butter. Ya know? Let's just leave."
"I can't. As a heroin, I'm bound by my-WORD!"
Suddenly, Marshall Lee grabbed Fionna and flew into the air, Fionna in tow, into the sun-setting sky, over the trees.
"DON'T WORRY, FIFI!" Cake screamed after her. "I'LL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT!"
"You're lucky, Fionna," Marshall Lee smiled as they drifted through the night sky. "Your first job as my minion is to help me feed."
"Feed?" Fionna asked herself. "What does he mean? Like oats? Like sentient beings or oats? Like horse feed? What did I get myself into?"
As they were flying, a small cottage came into view on the horizon. It was very small, only one person could possibly live there, made of brown stone and straw roof. They landed in front of the cottage. Fionna's stomach twisted into a knot. Inside, you could hear a woman humming.
"Sounds like dinner." Marshall Lee said in a deathly serious voice. "Fionna, open the door."
"I can't do it." Fionna grunted to herself. "If innocents will be hurt. No way, Marshall Lee! I'm not opening that door!"
"You have to. You're code of honor bounds you to do it, doesn't it, heroin?"
"I..." Fionna sighed. "Yes."
Fionna opened the door.
A woman with long, curly blue hair and pale skin looked up from her keyboard and gasped, wearing a long-sleeved red dress with a blue ribbon. Her name-tag said EBONY.
"Hold her down." Marshall Lee commanded.
Fionna gave an uncomfortable sigh.
As Fionna and Marshall Lee entered the cottage, Cake looked on through the dense bushes. She slinked out from the bushes and came to the window, peeking inside.
"Are you enjoying this, Fionna?" Marshall Lee hissed.
"No." Fionna mumbled, pinning the woman to the floor of the cottage.
"What DO you enjoy?"
"Being nice, not doing bad things."
Cake growled in anger. "Don't you worry, Fifi. I'll get you out of there. I've got a great plan."
Marshall Lee must have heard her hummingbird-quiet voice because he looked up at the window at the cat. He hissed like a snake.
Cake yelped and ran back to the bushes head-first. "I'M NOT RUNNING AWAY, FIFI, THIS IS PART OF THE PLAN!"
"Please, young lady," Ebony cried, "Let me go!"
"I'm sorry, miss. I'm bound to do what he says."
"I understand. I myself was in a marriage, too..." Ebony let a tear fall.
"I AM NOT MARRIED TO THIS EVIL-"
"Enough talking!" Marshall Lee said. He swooped down on Ebony.
"NO!"
Fionna pulled Ebony out of the way.
"How dare you!" Marshall Lee hissed, eyes red. "You are my minion! I ORDER YOU TO LET ME FEED!"
He pointed a laser at Fionna's arms. Fionna felt her arms' bones turn to rubber, twisting them into a knot so that she could not move them whatsoever.
Marshall Lee hissed loudly at Ebony.
Ebony screamed.
Marshall Lee brought his head down on her, and Ebony shrieked.
Fionna screamed. "NOOOOOOOO!"
Marshall Lee sucked the last drops of red from Ebony's dress. "That red dress was delicious."
"...Huh?" Fionna felt her arms begin to renew themselves.
"What's wrong, Fionna?"
"I...I thought..."
Ebony opened her eyes. "What happened...?" She looked down at her dress. "Oh my! A white dress! Thank you...so much...this is so...beautiful..." She fainted.
Fionna gawked. "But...but..."
"What?" Marshall Lee asked innocently. "You know I eat the color red most of the time."
"Yeah, okay..."
"Fionna, you're doing a great job."
Fionna frowned.
"Come on, we have plenty more evil to do."
"Ready to raise an army of the undead and ransack a castle of innocent victims?" Marshall Lee asked casually as he and Fionna sailed through the night sky.
What's wrong with this guy? Fionna thought. I can't tell if he's messing with me or what.
"Fionna, you brain dead?"
"Huh? No. I was just wondering if...I mean...Do you really need my help to do this?"
"Doesn't matter. You have to do what I say anyway, minion!"
Fionna took in a sharp breath.
A few minutes later, they landed in a graveyard. All of the graves were a deathly gray, the only plants growing parched and withered. The moonlight cast down an eerie glow.
"I know this place may seem a little dead." Marshall Lee said. "But don't worry. Soon, it'll be...UNDEAD."
Fionna groaned.
"Corpses buried in mud that's black
From death you will come back!"
The graves shook like an earthquake. Arms popped up from the ground, followed by grotesque skeletons and skulls. Soon, Marshall Lee and Fionna were surrounded by hundreds of soldiers for an undead army.
"Ready to lead the army?"
Fionna: D:( "NEVER!"
A skeleton grabbed her shoulder.
"OK, I'll do it."
Cake watched on from the bushes once again. "Don't worry, Fifi." She grabbed a nearby razor-sharp stick. "I'll save you!"
With a war-cry, she ran out of the bushes. "I'LL SAVE YOU!"
Marshall Lee turned around. "Do you hear that?"
Cake shrank down.
Marshall Lee shrugged.
"I'm sorry, Fifi."
Later, the army approached the Duchy of Nuts. The castle was over 130 feet high, made of hardened almond milk for the walls and breadnut for the ceiling. The windows were made of candlenut, and the floors made of chestnut.
Marshall Lee turned to Fionna. "Are you ready to hear the screams of the entire castle and see the ground turn red with carnage and blood.
"Yeah. I'm totally ready to slaughter innocent people."
"Really?"
"Sure. Slaying innocent women and children? That's bombtastic!"
"Fionna, I'm pleased with your enthusiasm."
"My word is my word. I'm going to go check to see how good these people are...so we know how good to feel when we murder them."
Fionna ran ahead quickly. She pounded on the hazelnut doors.
A kola-nut female opened the door, dressed in a green dress and a name-tag that read LIZZIE. There was obviously a large party going on inside. "Duchess and Duke of Nuts residence."
"MY BOSS IS GONNA SACK YOUR CASTLE!"
"Well, that's certainly bad new for us."
"GRAB ALL THE CHILDREN AND RUN!"
"Lizzie! Who is at the door?" The Duchess, a female almond in a Snow-White-like dress asked, holding a newborn female betel-nut in a blanket as she sat on the pili-nut throne.
"Someone who wishes to sack the nut castle!" Lizzie answered.
The Duke and Duchess gasped.
"Why would someone want to sack my castle on my second daughter's first birthday?" The Duchess exclaimed. "GUARDS! SEIZE HER!"
"NO!" Fionna yelled. The guards pointed their cashew-spears at her. "NO! PUT DOWN YOUR SPEARS! WE HAVE NO TIME FOR THIS!"
The ground began to shake as the undead army approached. "LISTEN! DO YOU HEAR THAT? MY MASTER, WHO HAPPENS TO BE A TERRIFYING VAMPIRE, IS COMING WITH HIS ARMY OF THE UNDEAD! THE CASTLE WILL. BE. DESTROYED!"
"Don't be ridiculous." The Duchess giggled.
"I'M SERIOUS! HE'S ON HIS WAY TO ANNIHILATE!"
"That's hilarious!"
The footsteps came closer. Soon, the undead army way exactly a foot behind Fionna.
"NOW IT'S TOO LATE!" Fionna cried. "EVERYONE RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
Marshall Lee flew above the army into the castle, his morning-star-style red guitar in hand, strumming a few chords. He landed on the floor, playing a short guitar solo.
"Don't do this, Marshall Lee," Fionna pleaded, "I beg of you! THESE ARE INNOCENT NUTS!" She began to sob. "PLEASE!"
Marshall Lee turned to her with a confused smile. "Don't do what?"
"You're late, Marshall Lee!" The Duchess beamed, wrapping an arm around him, the other still cradling her daughter. "My daughter is DYING to hear your undead music!"
"WHAT."
"I forgot Marshall Lee was playing tonight." Lizzie said.
"Yeah, me too!" Another walnut-guard agreed.
The undead army ran inside the castle. "PARTY! PARTY! PARTY!"
"C'mon, Fionna, let's party." Marshall Lee told her.
"I'll...be there in a minute."
"Whatever." He flew over to the dance floor.
OK, Fionna thought, He makes things seem bad, or his personality makes them seem bad. Or maybe I'm overreacting...
"Hey, girl."
"Huh?"
Lizzie approached her, dancing quickly. "Why are you thinking so hard? PARTY HARD!"
Fionna smiled. "Alright!" She began to dance freely with the skeletons and Nut Civillians.
After a few minutes, someone called, "Hey, castle crasher!"
"Hm?" Fionna turned around to the approaching Marshall Lee.
"You like cute things, right?" He asked.
"Uh, yeah, sure, why?"
"Then you might love this." He reached behind him. "THE CUTEST BLUSH PLANT EVER!"
The plant was held in a purple marble pot. It looked like two bushes. The lower one, the larger one, was a dark green, bearing abiu-like red fruit. The top one, the smaller one, was a lighter green and had a small, blushing face.
IT WAS ADORABLE.
"That IS the cutest plant ever!" Fionna gushed.
"Here." Marshall Lee plucked off one of the fruit and handed it to her. "Eat this and see what happens."
"Okay."
Fionna took a bite of it. It tasted like a peach. Her face grew a rosy blush. "Hey! I'm blushing!"
"I need you to do something."
"Okay, what is it?"
"I want you to kill this plant."
"WHAT?"
Marshall Lee's face became deathly serious. "TAKE MY MORNING STAR GUITAR AND DO IT OUTSIDE."
Fionna stared down at the Blush Plant, nervously clutching the morning star. With a sigh, she looked down at the morning star. "I'm going to murder you. I'm not entirely sure why but I'm going to murder you. I'm sure this will end happy." She raised up the morning star.
The Blush Plant opened its blue eyes and smiled up at her.
Fionna groaned and lowered the morning star. "I don't get it. Usually Marshall Lee stops something horrible before it happens. What's the twist?"
"There is no twist!"
Fionna span around to Marshall Lee, who was at the door, looking somewhat annoyed.
"Kill it now!"
Fionna turned her back to the Blush Plant. "Marshall Lee, what am I-"
The ground shook. Fionna span around and gasped.
The Blush Plant now stood ten feet before her. The plant, the adorable part, was still on top, but its pot had broken at the bottom. The roots of it had grown into a ten-foot-high monster. The large segment had a huge, cart-sized mouth with razor-sharp teeth. The roots had formed into three arms and five feet.
"You should have hacked it to pieces when it was still adorable." Marshall Lee sighed.
"But I thought-"
The Blush Plant Monster roared. It brought one of its massive hands down in an attempt to hit Fionna, but Fionna rolled out of the way. With the morning star, she cut the hand apart from the arm, causing the monster to shriek and a purple liquid to pour out of the arm like the Niagara Falls. The liquid shot right into Fionna's mouth. Instead of the fruit it had, it tasted like spoiled milk inside a rotting sock. Fionna looked down at her body and saw that the liquid was causing all of her to blush, her skin burning, so that she looked like a walking tomato. She sputtered out the juice, and her skin went back to normal.
When she was distracted, the Blush Plant Monster wrapped one of its roots around her and brought her up into the air.
The Adorable Blush Plant suddenly frowned. Its fruits burned to pieces and it pretty much exploded. It was now replaced with a dark green bush with a mouth perfect for Fionna's body with razor teeth.
It swallowed Fionna whole.
Marshall Lee smirked. "Oh boy."
He flew over to the top of the Monster as it licked its lips. He came to the smallest of a green flower on its head and plucked it off.
Immediately, the Monster wilted and went to the ground in a gray heap.
Fionna sliced out of the roots, covered in the purple liquid. She climbed away from the body and panted.
"Not bad for a minion." Marshall Lee shrugged, patting her on the head.
As Marshall Lee flew away, Fionna stared after him thoughtfully.
She smiled.
As the sun rose, Marshall Lee opened up his black umbrella against the sunlight. He and Fionna were standing under a canopy of cherry blossom trees. They were everywhere as far as the eye could see, a vision of pink and red. Pink petals fell around them like snow. The air smelled like flowers and cherries. Small cherries, red and ripe, dotted the pink trees.
"Can't the sun, like, destroy you?" Fionna asked Marshall Lee, looking at the rising sun.
"I like livin' on the edge."
"Don't you mean clippin on the hedge? I like clippin on the hedge."
Marshall Lee laughed. "Hey, Fionna." He plucked a large cherry from a low branch, holding it between his fingers. "Wanna...KILL SOME PIXIES?"
He turned to Fionna, who had two cherries and put them under her lips, the stems out, like vampire fangs. Like Marshall Lee, she hissed, "Yesssssss."
One of the cherries fell out. "Oops."
"Why are you being so casual about this?" Marshall Lee asked, balancing the cherry on his finger. "Killing pixies is pretty evil."
"Can't fool me anymore. I knoooooooow!"
"What are you talking about?"
"I know you won't let anything bad REALLY happen. That's your thing. You just like messin' with people."
At first, Marshall Lee frowned in denial, but then he burst into laughter. "Dang, girl, I thought you'd never catch on."
He brought the cherry to his lips and sucked out the red.
"I KNEW IT!" Fionna cried, doing a sort of jig.
"Ready to go kill some pixies?"
"Yes I am!"
As they laughed, Cake watched them from the cherry blossom trees. She was in a sort of body suit made out of cherry blossom petals dotted with cherries. She had garlic strapped to her waist. "My Fifi is totally under her vampire spell!"
"Hey, Marshall Lee," Fionna said, "What about your old minion? Who was that gal?"
"Neighbor. She gives me the best cherry pie."
Cake suddenly lunged out from the trees, a sharp piece of wood in hand. "DIE, UNHOLY MONSTER!"
"Cupcake?" Fionna exclaimed.
Cake threw large pieces of garlic at Marshall Lee. They didn't really burn, but one hit his eye. He dropped his umbrella as he hissed in pain.
Fionna screamed. "HOLY MOLY!"
Marshall Lee shrieked in the sunlight. His skin began to bubble and he began to slightly smoke. He fell to the ground."
"Marshall Lee!" Fionna knelt beside him. "Oh man!"
"Fifi, stand back!" Cake commanded, taking out her piece of wood. "I'M STAKIN THIS VAMPIRE AND SETTING YOU FREE!"
"NO!" Fionna blocked Marshall Lee with her body. "He's alright, Cupcake!"
"He's a bloodsucker from the bowels of the darkness. And he's still controlling your mind with evil! Now back off and let me vanquish him from his existence!"
"I can't let you do that, Cupcake!"
Cake sighed. "...I love you, sista..."
She pounced on Fionna, sending her ten feet from Marshall Lee. They tumbled in the grass.
"Cupcake, listen!" Fionna cried. "Marshall Lee isn't as evil as he seems! He's a good friend!"
"Yeah!" Cake flipped her onto her back. "All my good friends give me DEATH!"
Fionna looked over at Marshall Lee as he crawled under the umbrella, away from the sunlight. Fionna kicked Cake off, sending her twenty feet away into the cherry blossom trees, and ran over to the umbrella.
"MARSHALL LEEEEEEE!" Cake screeched. She ran over to the umbrella, ripped Fionna away, and brought the wood down into the fabric of the umbrella.
After a few good stabs, she lifted up the umbrella only to find a sort of smokey male figure seconds before it disappeared. "Where is he?"
Fionna groaned and picked herself up from the ground. "Cupcake! You faced your fear and saved me!"
"I did?" Cake beamed. "I did! WAHOO!" She pulled Fionna in for a tight hug. "I SAVED MY SIS FROM A SCUM-SUCKING VAMPIRE!"
She ran away, laughing, until she could no longer be seen.
"Is she gone?" Marshall Lee asked, now in his small bat form, poking out from Fionna's backpack.
"Yeah." Fionna smiled. She brought out the umbrella.
"Fionna, I owe you big time." Marshall Lee beamed, flying out of the backpack into the shade of the umbrella. "Changing into a bat and hiding in your pack was genius!"
"That's what minions are for."
"Oh, that reminds me. You're fired from being my minion. It's no fun if I can't mess with you."
"We're still on for pixie killing tomarrow, right?" Fionna asked, handing him the umbrella.
"Definitely." Marshall Lee smiled, flying away into the sky.
TRIVIA
This is the second major appearance of Marshall Lee.
Marshall Lee calls Fionna a "Castle Crasher" during the party at the Duchess of Nuts' castle, which is a possible reference to the video game of the same name created by Tom Fulp and Dan Paladin.
This is the debut of Marshall Lee's Morning-Star-Bass, which seems to be the favorite of his three bass guitars.
In the cherry blossom trees, seen where Cake is hiding, one of the cherries is gray, indicating Marshall Lee drank the red out of it.
This is the last episode where Marshall Lee is shown as an antagonist, though technically he's only treated as evil by Cake with Marshall Lee performing many good deeds and guiding Fionna as such.
Marshall Lee's coat is made from Why-Cat hide.
In the title card, his clothes consist of a red tailcoat, a black button-up, and gray pants, instead of the clothes in the episode.
The title card depicts Marshall Lee being a little more serious and sensual than in the actual episode.
Marshall Lee might have set Fionna up to be his minion because as soon as Fionna told the Old Minion that she had taken her place the Old Woman suddenly became better and hopped away. Marshall Lee also stated that she was just a neighbor.
In the title card, Cake's head can be seen through a window.
This episode is dedicated to Chipmunks Are My THANG. Thanx for the awesome reviews! XD
