Minnie Goodsoup
From MIwiki
Minnie Goodsoup (credited as the Ghost Bride) is an important secondary character from The Curse of Monkey Island. Her full name and title is Minerva Stroneheim-Goodsoup, Baroness of Borscht, or Minnie 'Stronie' Goodsoup for short. She is the great aunt of Griswold Goodsoup, owner of the Goodsoup hotel resort on Blood Island.
Having passed away long before the game's events she haunts the Goodsoup Family Crypt on Blood Island. Minnie had affection towards pirates during her lifetime since most of her suitors in her words "bored [her] to tears". According to the backstory of the third game LeChuck wound up on Blood Island after his ship sank on its way to Monkey Island. Minnie fell in love and intended to marry LeChuck, who himself only had an eye for Minnie's gigantic diamond ring. During the wedding reherseal he pried the diamond off the wedding band, sold it to King Andre, bought a new ship and sailed off.
Minnie apparently died soon after taking the wedding band to her grave. Guybrush encounters her after feigning his death (for the second time) and proving he is a member of the Goodsoup family. Minnie refuses to give the wedding band until she is married to a man she loves. Guybrush helps her get to the light by releasing the Hotel's guest-who-never-left, Charles DeGoulash. Minnie admitted to Guybrush that Charles was the only other man she could've possibly fell for, when he meets her again, Charles confesses his love to Minnie and as they share a kiss they both dissappear and the wedding band is left for Guybrush to collect.
