Frieda Smurfette (Empath stories)

Frieda (most commonly referred to as Marji) is a Smurf character who is part of the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series. She is the wife of Vinetier and the mother of Culinary, who works in the kitchen along with her husband and their fellow Smurf Baker helping to cook meals for their fellow Smurfs. Frieda wants her son to be the best cook in the village.

About 50 years later, she along with her husband succumbed to the same unknown disease that claimed the lives of all their fellow Smurfs except for Papa Smurf. Culinary was then left in the care of Papa Smurf along with 97 other young Smurfs his age.

Years later, during the events in the story "Days Of Auld Lang Smurf", Frieda supposedly came back from the dead to meet her grown-up sons. However, Smurfette, Polaris Psyche, and the Smurflings discover and reveal the truth that the "resurrected" Frieda was just an illusion created by the Auld Lang Syne Spell that the evil witch, Chlorhydris, had cast upon the Smurfs.
