Femme is a minor character in Johnny Bravo. She is the antagonist of the episode "Noir Johnny".
Character[]
As her name would suggest, Femme is a typical femme fatale criminal who Johnny interrogated about Suzy's missing doll. She refuses to tell him anything she might know about the case, and is later caught with it red-handed at the toy store that evening. Johnny tries to stop her and learns of her plan to hoard the dolls and sell them to children at "jacked-up" prices. Planning to escape, Femme runs over Johnny in a tiny toy car before Suzy arrives at the scene with policemen. Outside, Femme tries to convince Johnny to "let her off the hook", which he refuses. She then reveals that she had fallen in love with him from the start. After giving him a kiss on the cheek, she is taken away by police and never seen again.
Femme often uses terms from hard-boiled detective fiction, such as "gumshoe", "snoop", and "stool pigeon". Her character was designed by Dexter Smith.
Appearance[]
Femme is a curvaceous young woman with mid-back length blonde hair that covers her right eye, dark-colored eyes and red lipstick. She has long legs and wears a long, strapless red dress that is split on the left side at the bottom, white long gloves, and red heels.
Trivia[]
- She has an almost uncanny resemblance to Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, except she is blonde and wears white opera gloves. Furthermore, while Jessica Rabbit was famously "not bad, but drawn that way", Femme lives to her namesake of actually being an antagonistic Femme Fatale.
- Despite the end credits of "Noir Johnny" referring to her as 'Femme', this is likely a generic shorthand for her character archetype, making her real name unknown.
- Femme's character model is reused in some episodes of the series, even being recycled and recolored for Mitzy in "The Johnny Bravo Affair". This makes it difficult to determine if any cameo appearances after her arrest were intentional.
- In Season 3 episode entitled "In Your Dreams", a woman identical to Femme is shown to be Johnny's literal Dream Girl. It is unknown if this was intended to be Femme, or just another re-use of her design. The answer may also be a combination of both reasons given that In Your Dreams aired after her episode. As Femme stated that she had fallen for Johnny and kissed him, it's likely that this encounter and her beauty captivated Johnny to the point of imagining her as his ideal dream girl.
- She is one of few women to have fallen in love with Johnny, as shown when she kisses him at the end.
