Patsy Smiles is an upbeat and chipper mongoose who has a crush on Lazlo and will jump on him at any chance she gets; this plot device is repeated in many episodes, and should be considered a basic character trait of Patsy. She can be easily irritated and can be tomboyish, a trait she possibly inherited from her father, Commander Hoo-Hah. This relationship was a surprise to everyone, seeing as they're two completely different species. She is also a terrific Southpaw boxer and knocks out the entire Bean Scout Troop, although it was against her will. Patsy enjoys reading scary stories to her friends because she likes scaring people. She lied about knowing various martial arts to impress Lazlo and later revealed her feelings when he confronted her about lying.

Patsy should be considered ringleader of the Squirrel Scouts. Most of the time, Patsy is the instigator of the girls antics, and the other girls willingly follow her lead.

It should be noted that while she considers Gretchen as a very good friend of hers, they do seem to have a bit of a semi-rivalry with each other, as seen on certain occasions throughout the series; though Gretchen did help Patsy with getting Nina, another one of her friends, back from a trio of aliens. She is allergic to cheese, which may not necessarily indicate lactose intolerance. She uses this reaction to great effect when she eats cheese to bloat up and tricks Nina into thinking Patsy is an alien, calling herself Gorgonzola. In earlier episodes, however, we see her eating a grilled cheese sandwich, so her allergy may have developed at a later time. Patsy is voiced by Jodi Benson.
