The Smurfettes! Created by Marie (The Raven Child) Kerns The Smurfettes! Created by Marie (The Raven Child) Kerns. This is a brief introduction to the many smurfettes in my fanfiction story saga “The Smurfette Village”. Disclaimer: The original Smurfs (as well as Smurfette, Sassette (smurfling), and Nana Smurf) are created by Peyo. I do not own them, however the smurfettes are mine. Astrologette You could say Astrologette is a bit of a psychic. She relies on tarot cards and the position of the stars to help her see what is yet to come for everyone in the Smurfette Village. She is best recognized with her jet-black hair, moonstone amulet dangling on her forehead, and gypsy style outfit. Also, she is the only smurfette that actually wears jewellery. Babette The cutest member of the Smurfette Village, Babette is also the youngest. She is special, much like Baby Smurf from the Smurf Village. Not many would recognize the ‘magical’ gift they both possess. Babette has curly blond hair that is tied up in pink bowed pigtails. Ballette Ballette is one of the most graceful smurfettes of the Smurfette Village. She loves to dance more then anything. Not only does she dance, but she also loves a good game of Smurfball every once and a while. Ballette has blond hair braided up into a bun. She is usually seen in ballet tights, leotards, Toto, and ballet shoes. Brainette Brainette is more serious then any of the other smurfettes. Like Brainy Smurf, she is very smart. But unlike Brainy Smurf, Brainette doesn’t usually do a lot of talking. Her field of expertise is mostly science and math. She is also Mama Smurf’s Wiccan apprentice. She has dark brown hair pinned up in two pigtails. You can usually find Brainette with a book in her hands for her greatest hobby is reading. Cowgirl Smurfette Cowgirl has a style that is a few hundred years ahead of her time. She prides herself in her western theme of clothing and long reddish brown braided hair. Her attitude is pretty straight forward and right to the point. Cowgirl is best known for her honesty. Even though her job in the village is to tend the egetable garden, Cowgirl loves to perform tricks with her lasso Craftette Besides Ballette, Craftette is one of the most talented smurfettes in the Smurfette Village. Her best-known work is the creative wicker baskets she makes for every smurfette. Another thing she is very good at is carving sculptures out of clay. She also helps with interior decoration for most of the smurfettes homes. Craftette is recognized by her short orange hair, and soft nature attitude. The one thing Craftette hates most is negative criticism towards her creative work. Elder Brainette The once quiet bookworm smurfette from the old Smurfette Village, Elder Brainette is now one of the leaders of the new Smurf Community in 2005. Instead of a book, Elder Brainette is normally seen with a laptop in her hands. She uses it to help solve math problems and gather information from the internet. She is in charge of teaching the smurflings math and science. Rarely does Elder Brainette practice Wicca magic, but only when she is teaching it to Sorcerette. Elder Sassette The former red-headed tom-smurf smurfling, Elder Sassette is in charge of teaching the smurflings creative arts and crafts. Before Hefty and Toughette was freed from the crystal hibernation, she was responsible for taking the smurflings out for their exercises. Elder Sassette is normally in charge of kitchen duty. She helps prepare the meals each day. Her favorite time is reading time with the smurflings. Floraette Floraette knows everything there is to know about flowers. Her garden is one of the most beautiful one in the village. She is best recognized by the lavender over-alls she wears, and short raven black hair that is pinned back in a ponytail. Floraette has a very soft kind soul towards all living creatures. When asked, she is very dependable for any job. Future Toughette Still a smurfette with a short fuse, Toughette dawns a new - more modern - outfit from her old grey smurfsuit. She and Hefty are in charge of taking the smurflings out for exercise and games. The new world is so much different from the one she came from, but there are things she has gotten use to. She finds it entertaining going to movies and riding the motorcycles. Her favorite hobby is still exercise as well as learning new martial art moves with Hefty, Sorcerer, and Sorcerette. Gingerette Gingerette is defiantly one chef that could give Greedy Smurf a run for his money. But unlike Greedy Smurf she loves to share the food she bakes rather then eating it all to herself. Her beautiful fiery red hair is pinned back into a bun, and she wears a clean white apron to protect her clothes when she bakes. Normally Gingerette is calm, but at times she can have a very nasty temper. Gloria and Phoebe Gloria and Phoebe are enemies of the smurfettes. Much like Gargamel and Azrael they go out of their way to hunt smurfettes. Instead of gold, however, Gloria believes that six smurfettes can be turned into diamonds. These villians live in small house in the middle of a dark swamp. There, Gloria practices her evil spells while Phoebe attempts to catch the local rats when she is not chasing the smurfettes. Gosipette Gosipette really lives up to her name. If there is one thing she is certainly good at, and that is talking. Usually what she says makes no sense to the other smurfettes becuase she talks much to fast for anyone to keep up. Her personality is quite bubbly with short curly bleach-blond hair to boot. All-in-all Gosipette means well as a productive member of the Smurfette Village. Grumpette Grumpette is one smurfette you do not want to wish a nice day to. On some days she can even make Grouchy Smurf look charming. She can have a soft spot though. There are moments that Grumpette does show compassion towards her sisters in the Smurfette Village. Klutzette Sweet, naive, and a real Klutz, Klutzette tries her best to fit in with all the other smurfettes of the village, but sometimes she is left out of their smurfball games. Klutzette has no real talent other then tripping over her own feet. Her short sunny blond hair is in two pigtails, and her bangs tend to be so long that they cover her eyes to the point she can barely see. When Klutzette is nervous she has a habit of twiddling her fingers through her pigtails. Mama Smurf The oldest and wisest member of the Smurfette Village, Mama Smurf is the one all smurfettes go to when they need guidance. Mama Smurf has grey hair pinned up in a bun. Her long dress is bright red. Her best knowledge is in Wiccan. She uses this skill for healing and protecting her young smurfettes and the village. Melody Smurfette Melody is the musician of the Smurfette Village. Like Harmony Smurf, Melody loves to play all types of instruments. The only difference is that this smurfette can actually play real music. She has been dubbed ‘the smurfette with the golden voice’. Her favourite instrument is the guitar. At times she likes either the piano or the harp as well. Her hair is an amber color, and usually she has it up in a ponytail. She is usually found sitting under a tree writing new songs to sing. Nursette When a member of the village is sick or injured there is only one smurfette they go to, Nursette. Her skills in medicine aren’t at Mama Smurf’s level just yet, but her determination to see that her patient returns to health is greatly important. She is willing to stay beside the patient’s bed all day and all night until he/she is all better. Nursette usually wears her long blond hair in a single braid, but sometimes she will put them into two braids (depending on how much time she has in the morning). On her clean white apron is a red cross that indicates her field of expertise. Prankette Prankette is one smurfette you need to watch out for. She likes to get her victims with a trick yellow and red flower pinned on her dress. This flower is designed by her to squirt water up to two smurf-feet. She is best recognized by her orange curly clown-like hair. Sewette Sewette designs and sews many of the clothes for all the smurfettes to wear. She really likes sewing the beautiful dresses that Valvette helps to design. The greatest challenge she ever had to do was sewing a new pair of smurf pants. She is best recognized with her long amber hair pinned up in pigtails. Sewette would also usually keep her measuring tape handy in case for an emergency repair job. Sorcerette Once she was the cute little Babette of the Smurfette Village. Sorcerette is all grown up in the year 2005. Her magic is much stronger with the help of Elder Brainette her trianing has improved her ability to control her natural talent. Her short baby blond hair has grown out too to long thick locks. She seems to find it cool to dye stricks of pink and sometimes purple in her hair to give her a more colorful appearance. Sweepette Yes, even the smurfette village has their own sweepy smurf’. Her name is Sweepette. Every so cheerful, Sweepette keeps a smile on her face regardless how sooty it is.

SMURF VILLAGE - DAY (SHORTLY AFTER SMURFS 2 ENDS) A big banner reads “Welcome Vexy and Hackus!” Like an Amish barn raising, the entire village of Smurfs is busy building TWO NEW MUSHROOMS for the new arrivals. NARRATOR (O.S.) For years and years it was just Papa and his 99 Smurfs. Then came Smurfette to make it an even 100. And now, two new Smurfs, rescued from the evil clutches of Gargamel, have joined the fold. The CAMERA finds NARRATOR SMURF walking through the village. NARRATOR The whole village has gathered to build them homes of their own - except me of course - because I’m the “vocal talent”. He passes by the construction site of Vexy’s new mushroom. VEXY is there with BRAINY - who stands underneath the overhang holding BLUEPRINTS. VEXY I get that it’s supposed to look like a mushroom, Brainy - but isn’t that too much overhang? BRAINYWeinstock Nonsense. According to my calculations, there’s more than enough structural buttressing here to support... WHAM! - the overhang drops, CRASHING on Brainy - covering him in a pile Marcof rubble. VEXY (calling into rubble) I’m sorry. I can’t hear you from under all that “buttressing”.

    THE PASSAGE OF THE COMIC BOOK TO THE ANIMATED FILM: THE CASE OF THE SMURFS Frances Novier Baldwin, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2011 APPROVED: Marie-Christine Koop, Major Professor and Chair of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures Christophe Chaguinian, Committee Member Lawrence Williams, Committee Member James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Baldwin, Frances Novier. The Passage of the Comic Book to the Animated Film: The Case of the Smurfs. Master of Arts (French), August 2011, 56 pp., bibliography, 31 titles. The purpose of this study is to explore the influence of history and culture on the passage of the comic book to the animated film. Although the comic book has both historical and cultural components, the latter often undergoes a cultural shift in the animation process. Using the Smurfs as a case study, this investigation first reviews existing literature pertaining to the comic book as an art form, the influence of history and culture on Smurf story plots, and the translation of the comic book into a moving picture. This study then utilizes authentic documents and interviews to analyze the perceptions of success and failure in the transformation of the Smurf comic book into animation: concluding that original meaning is often altered in the translation to meet the criteria of cultural relevance for the new audiences. Copyright 2011 By Frances Novier Baldwin ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am particularly grateful to Dr. Marie-Christine Koop for suggesting the topic for my thesis.
