Judith Fitzgerald

Judith Fitzgerald is a minor character in The Amazing World of Gumball. She is the mother of Penny and Polly and is married to Patrick. She first appeared for a brief moment in "The DVD" during the chase scene. She makes another appearance in the episode "The Date" where she gets upset when Gumball destroys her younger daughter's memorial picture of Mr. Cuddles.

Appearance
Judith Fitzgerald is a presumably a shape-shifting fairy and has a similar appearance to Penny in Season 2 and her younger daughter, Polly. Compared to her older daughter, Penny, she is noticably taller and has smaller antlers than her. She wears cowboy boots.

In her early years, she wore a yellow dress and a tuft of blonde hair.

In the storyboard for "The Date," her shell was oval, like her daughter's Season 1 design.

Personality
Not much is known about her personality. However, she seems to be extremely generous, as she was willing to give Gumball and Darwin large amounts of money, her boots, her ring and even her kidney when she felt they needed help, as seen in "The Gripes." She also has an open mind for the relationship with Gumball and Penny as shown in the episode "The Knights."

In "The Transformation," a sadistic side of her is shown. She tries to threaten Gumball to have Penny go back in her shell by making a cookie that appears to be Gumball getting torn in half.
