Personality

Circe desperately searches Greece for romance, but her high standards usually lead to any potential suitors being transformed into animals.

Role in the series

She arrives and decides to make Icarus her new boyfriend, but after spending 5 minutes with him, she turns him into a platypus. By the end, thanks to Helen, she turns over a new leaf.

Trivia

• Another version of Circe, drawn as a pig, was shown in the series Ducktales.
