  Marzipan - Homestar Runner Wiki
Marzipan is Homestar's girlfriend (humorously, Missy Palmer acting as Marzipan disclosed in the DVD commentary for date that Homestar is only her boyfriend while acting, and has "several other boyfriends" off stage).
Marzipan's status as the only girl in Free Country, USA has made her the target of quite a few prank messages on her answering machine (most of them left by Strong Bad), as well as the unsolicited romantic attentions of several other characters (most notably Coach Z and Bubs).
Marzipan is also a confectionery consisting primarily of ground almonds and sugar that derives its characteristic flavor from bitter almonds.

Marzipan items have always been thought of as special occasion foods for feasts and weddings, as sugar and nuts were once expensive as both were imported into Britain.

 The Story Behind the Story
Marzipan has a tricky role to play; she only shows up in the last few chapters of the story, and she has to return from being a "proxy villain" to a true member of the good guys.
Part of this, of course, is due to the necessity of the narrative, but also a factor is that I was likely subconsciously avoiding writing Marzipan for as long as possible, because I never really was fond of her as a character, as well as having serious doubts that I could write her consistently.
Perhaps a big part of the character keeping his identity is the fact that he religiously sticks to his vow of silence (I just realized he doesn't even resort to communicating via signboard in the entire story); if he began to speak, the character would simply be irreconcilable with the original Poopsmith.
