Sharon Marsh

Sharon Carol Marsh (was Kimble before marriage) is the mother of main character Stanley Marsh, of South Park. Her birthday is December 16th, 1961. Her zodiac sign is Sagittarius.

Appearance
Her outfit slightly resembles that of Stan's, except with a few slight variations. She wears a brown sweater with red trimming on the cuffs and the collar, and dark blue jeans. Her hair is brown, and seems to be slightly wavy.

She is apparently the "hot mom" of South Park, as in Preschool, the sixth graders agree to protect the boys from Trent Boyett in exchange for a photo of Sharon's breasts, as the leader states (to Stan): "Your Mom has the hottest boobs!" In another episode, Lil' Crime Stoppers, Butters is asked by the boys to provide a semen sample for a case they're working on. After masturbating, he was finally able to produce a sample after he thought about Sharon's breasts. However, because of the way that women in South Park are traditionally animated, Sharon's breasts cannot be seen by the audience unless she is in nothing but a bra. At bedtime, she wears a creamy-white, knee-length nightgown with purple lining at the hem, and two orange-yellow flowers embroidered on the chest.



For special occasions, she wears a brown dress with red trimming on top.

A curious trait about her is her eyebrows. When relaxed or angry, she has eyebrows the same colour as her hair. However, when solemn or surprised, they often disappear from view.

It is heavily implied in many scenes in the Marsh family's living room that Sharon is nearsighted, as whenever she is reading or doing finances she has to wear reading glasses.

Character
In the movie, South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, it is revealed that Sharon is the receptionist at Tom's Rhinoplasty. In "Cripple Fight", it is mentioned that Sharon is the head of a girl's Mountain Scouts troop.

"Future Stan", in the episode My Future Self and Me, mentions that Sharon has a scar on her left knee, which is left over from a time when she slipped in a swimming pool.

Name
Sharon is named after Trey Parker's mother, Sharon Parker. One interesting thing to note, is that Sheila referred to her as "Carol" in the episode Death. This might have just been a name that the creators chose to stick on her until they could give her character more thought (similar to how Butters, while he was a background character, was simply referred to as "Swanson" at first.), or this might be her middle name. Another thing to note is that Sharon Parker, unlike Mrs. Marsh, is an insurance broker.

Randall "Randy" Marsh

 * Main Article: Randy Marsh.

Sharon's husband is Randy Marsh, whom she seemed to be inseparable from for the first season and half of the second season. In the season 2 episode Clubhouses, they divorced because they were constantly arguing. Sharon temporarily married a geeky looking guy named Roy, whom Stan could never get on good terms with (though he wasn't really trying, anyway). At the end, Randy and Sharon played Truth or Dare, and, touched by the sentiments surrounding the game and their history together, fell in love again and remarried. Roy was never seen again.

There have been a few strains in the marriage, and she was rather annoyed with him and even yelled at him in Pandemic for recording everything the family did, saying at the start to Stan "(Because) ever since your father got that stupid video camera, he thinks he has to record everything the family does." However, as she was reprimanding him for recording everything the family does, the Furry Death attacked, and it is heavily implied that Randy was a victim. However, he evidently survived.

Shelley Marsh

 * Main Article: Shelley Marsh.

Sharon's daughter is Shelley Marsh, who seems to have inherited her mother's hair colour. Sharon and her husband are completely unaware of the abuse Shelley gives to their son, Stan.

Stanley "Stan" Marsh

 * Main Article: Stan Marsh.

Her son is Stanley Marsh. She seems to be closer to him than her daughter, and he seems to be a "Mommy's little Boy", although she does get angry with him at irrational times, while remaining pleased with him when she should be angry. She has told him, in the episode Clubhouses, that she considers his happiness and Shelley's happiness secondary to her own. In Pandemic she got worried to the point of becoming prone to losing her temper when he went missing (having been arrested by the military as a Peruvian flute band).

Aunt Flo
Aunt Flo was Sharon's aunt, who would come to visit the Marsh residence once a month, and stay for nearly a week at a time. This would turn Sharon into a bitch. In the episode Spookyfish, Aunt Flo gave her great-nephew, Stan, a goldfish for Halloween, but it was evil, and killed many people, including Aunt Flo. This upset Sharon, because Aunt Flo would not come and visit her anymore.

Aunt Flo is an obvious reference to the menstrual cycle, and her death parodies the menopause.

Roy
Roy was Sharon's new boyfriend after she divorced Randy in Clubhouses. She stayed with him until she dared Randy to have sex with her and they make up.
