Smurfette

Smurfette (original name Schtroumpfette) is one of the four main characters of the The Smurfs franchise. She is considered the action-girl of the Smurf Village who is shown to be skilled with the arts of Smurf-Fu as of the 2021 series onwards.

Official Website description
Smurfette is smart, curious, brave, and enterprising, always ready to take part in new adventures. Originally, Smurfette was crafted by Gargamel as a plan to destroy the Smurfs just by being a girl. Then Papa Smurf worked his magic and turned Smurfette into a lovely, loving Smurf and an important member of the clan.

Backstory
In the comic book story, "The Smurfette". She was created by Gargamel with as a clay statue and is applied to a series of ingredients for his formula, creating her. She is sent to the Smurf Village to unintentionally cause the Smurfs to fight among themselves due to her presence, in which the other 100 Smurfs befriend her, though her appearance wasn't the attractive temptress that Gargamel tried to create -- as she is shown to initally have the appearance of a male Smurf with scraggly black hair, a large nose, rather surly eyes, and a pair of plain shoes and dress.   Eventually, the Smurfs found her unappealing and were quite frankly annoyed with her behavior, so they decided to play a bad joke: they make her think she is overweight (by rigging a scale, setting in a misshaping mirror, making her listen to some nasty talk...). Feeling upset by this prank, she insists to Papa Smurf that her looks are unappealing, so Papa Smurf agreed to help her: he operates plastic smurfery on her for days and nights.   When she returned, she was introduced as the Smurfette everyone knows; sporting blonde hair, heels, and a frilly dress - causing the Smurfs to fall in love with her as they try to seduce her through different means, though Papa Smurf did not realize that he was making Gargamel's plans successful on making the Smurfs' lives miserable.   This is made worse when Smurfette forces Poet to open the dam which nearly flooded the village that she was put on trial for being a creation of Gargamel's. At this point, most of the Smurfs supported Smurfette's innocence. Jokey Smurf (who is Smurfette's attorney) reminds them that she has been able to seduce the Smurfs because of Papa Smurf, who made her attractive. Smurfette is eventually declared not guilty.   Eventually, however, she grew tired of the Smurfs fighting each other for her anymore, so she leaves the village indefinitely in order for the fighting to cease, leaving a message saying that she will be back one day (which she eventually did in a one-page gag featured in the "Smurf Soup" album).

Character
Smurfette is shown to be independent, smart, and tomboyish. She is shown to be very capable and skilled of using the martial arts of Smurf-Fu to defend herself, and enjoys tending to her thriving flower garden. She hates when people try to step in or act over-protective when she's trying to defend herself, as she's a very self-confident person with strong opinions she enjoys expressing. In the 2021 series, she is shown to have a romantic crush on Hefty Smurf.   In the earlier comic book stories and 1981 television series. Smurfette's personality differs a lot from her 2021 iteration. The most noticeable difference seems to be that she was originally interested in fashion and beauty in a similar on which Vanity Smurf is typically accustomed to, and had little interest with boys' activities as she was originally envisioned by Peyo to be portrayed as sweet, feminine and cute -- a traditional European feminine ideal. However, it is likely if Smurfette originally had any specific personality traits at all other than being a girl.   Smurfette was also originally less capable than the other Smurfs in which she is considered a "damsel in distress", vulnerable to dangers such as Gargamel and Azrael. She was noticeably shown to be more prone to crying or depressed when something goes wrong. Another aspect is that she was the main love interest for most male Smurfs before this aspect was ultimately dropped in the 2021 series.   Before her "plastic-smurfery" was processed by Papa Smurf in her debut appearance, in the comics, Smurfette was shown to be an annoyance albeit good-meaning towards the other Smurfs. She was talkative, slightly bossy, overly friendly and hysterical. In the 1981 television series; Sony Pictures' live-action movies; and Smurfs: The Lost Village - she was provocative, and deliberately causing problems within the village as these misdeeds were orchestrated by Gargamel under his orders.

Motives
Smurfette can be seen doing chores and helping out where she can. A more specific example is that she is often seen to be active in organizing events and displays, and is one of the first Smurfs to volunteer to take on risky, adventurous tasks.

As of the 2021 television series, Smurfette's role is expanded to be seen practicing her Smurf-Fu moves. She is also willing to teach the other Smurfs either to fight or masquerade as seen in "Smurf-Fu", "Smurfs In Disguise" and "The Majestic 5".

Physical appearance
Smurfette is identified by her white Smurf hat, a white frilly dress, heels, and sporting blonde hair.   Prior to her "plastic-Smurfery", she is shown to initially have the appearance of a male Smurf with scraggly black hair, a large nose, rather surly eyes, and a pair of plain shoes and dress.
