Just like Pac-Man, she enjoys eating and is good at navigating mazes. As seen in Maze Madness, she also has a knack for solving puzzles.
Appearance
Ms. Pac-Man looks similar to Pac-Man, but has a large hairbow and eyelashes. Her nose and eyebrows are also smaller than Pac-Man's.
Her appearance was frequently altered between games. Originally she wore makeup and had a beauty mark, but some later incarnations of her do not. Sometimes she is wearing boots, while other games have her wearing heels. The colors of her bow, lipstick, gloves, and shoes are often different as well.
Trivia
- There are several characters in recent Pac-Man-related media that look nearly identical to Ms. Pac-Man, but feature different names (such as "Pac-Marie" from Pac-Store and "Pac-Man Girl" from Mega Run meets Pac-Man). All of these are intended to be Ms. Pac-Man, but her name is changed due to General Computer Corporation copyright issues (who received ownership of some assets related to her in 2006).
