'''Pippi''' is a young girl living in [[Podunk]] in ''{{vg|Mother}}''. She disappears prior to the events of the game, and [[Ninten]] is asked by her [[Mrs. Lindgren|mother]] and the [[A. Goodman|mayor of Podunk]] to rescue her. After traveling through the [[South Cemetery]], Ninten finds an opening in one of the graves, where Pippi is in the southwestern casket; the others each contain [[PseudoZombi|Pseudo Zombies]]. After opening the casket containing Pippi, she asks Ninten a series of questions, which if answered correctly will yield one of the only two obtainable [[Franklin Badge]]s. After returning her to the mayor, Ninten is given a $100 prize for rescuing her, and a [[List of key items in Mother#Zoo Key|Zoo Key]] from [[Abbott]]. If Ninten returns to Pippi's home, he can speak to her to obtain any items that were in her inventory when she left, and she will once again ask the questions required to obtain the Franklin Badge if Ninten previously answered them incorrectly.

==Physical appearance==
[[File:Pippi.PNG|thumb|left|150px|Pippi's official clay model.]]
Pippi wears a pink dress, along with long yellow socks and red shoes. She has red hair tied into two braids, and her clay model depicts her with freckles on her face and yellow bows in her hair.
 
Pippi is a reference to [[wikipedia:Pippi Longstocking|Pippi Longstocking]], as they have the same name, same hair design and both seem to wear unusually long socks.<ref name=LittlePippiMissing/> Pippi's immense strength when leveled up also alludes to Pippi Longstocking, as the titular character displays amazing strength in the book series, and is referred commonly as "The Strongest Girl In the World". Another reference to Pippi Longstocking is her mother's last name, Lindgren.

She makes a second appearance in the [[swamp]] on the way to [[Ellay]], residing in a house in the center. Ninten and his friends can speak to Pippi for recovery, where she asks Ninten not to tell her mother that she was there.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Besides PP and Wisdom, Pippi outranks Ninten in every stat, so many players hold on to her for as long as possible.

*Pippi's stat growth rate is identical to Teddy's.
