Olimar's wife is a woman who has a blue shirt covered with an apron. She cares about her kids very much, but is usually irresponsible when it comes to money. When Olimar's special bonuses arrive at his house, she often uses the money to buy her kids what they have been wanting.{{cite quote|Olimar, you've worked so hard! Your special bonus arrived today.

Whenever the bonuses come in, she seems to get stricter on her kids, and might be lacking in common sense, as Olimar's son states that she wants things like sending Bulbie to the circus.<ref name="circus"/> She admits to sometimes going to beaches and theaters all day until the kids come home.{{cite quote|Hey, hon!

After losing a large amount of money, she realizes the mistake she made, and loosens back up into her former self. In the original versions of ''Pikmin 2'', this resulted from her wasting money on lottery tickets;{{cite quote|I think I may have messed up, darling... I lost a small fortune buying lottery tickets. It was all a nightmare. I'm afraid we're going to have to live lean for awhile.|Olimar's wife|a [[mail|letter]] in GameCube and Wii versions of {{p2}}}} the Nintendo Switch port alters the mail to say that she was pickpocketed.{{cite quote|I think I messed up, darling... A pickpocket stole a small fortune from me. It's been a nightmare. I'm afraid we're going to have to live lean for awhile.|Olimar's wife|a [[mail|letter]] in {{p2s}}}} In Japanese versions prior to the port, she instead loses all her money at a casino. After time has passed, she pleads for Olimar to come home (very lovingly), promising his favorite meal – [[pikpik carrot]] soup.{{cite quote|I love you! Don't keep me waiting any longer! Please come home! I've made a ton of your favorite soup, and it's here waiting for you!|Olimar's wife|a [[mail|letter]] in {{p2s}}}}

At one point during ''Pikmin 2'', she tried to apply for a part-time job, but got rejected in favor of younger employees.{{cite quote|Hey, you should know... I didn't get that part-time job. That stupid store is only hiring teenagers who wear too much makeup, apparently.
