Frau Farbissina is a fictional character from the Austin Powers series of movies, played by Mindy Sterling. She is the attack and defense specialist (and one time lover) of Dr. Evil.
[edit] Character overview
Farbissina parodies several characters in the James Bond films, including: From Russia with Love's Rosa Klebb and On Her Majesty's Secret Service's Irma Bunt.
She has a German accent, and founded "the militant wing of the Salvation Army". Her surname is a take-off of the Yiddish word 'farbissen' ('verbissen') or "embittered". Furthermore, "Frau" (German for "Mrs." or "woman") actually seems to be her first name.
In Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, Frau falls in love with Unibrau, a stereotypical butch lesbian LPGA golfer with a unibrow. However, when Dr. Evil goes back in time to 1969, he sleeps with Frau before realises she is a lesbian; as a result, she gets pregnant. It turns out that her child is Scott Evil, who was previously thought to be a test-tube baby. Unlike Doctor Evil, she actually loves Scott and only wants him to be happy. At the end of the second film, she makes a surprise guest appearance with Scott on Jerry Springer and tells him that she is his mother, but she never told him because she didn't want him to be hurt; Scott forgives her and declares he loves her.
In The Spy Who Shagged Me, when Dr. Evil goes back in time to 1969, he meets a much younger Number 2, but much to Dr. Evil's surprise Frau Farbissina is identical.
Frau Farbissina has many catchphrases, all of which are shouted: "Bring in the FemBOTSs!", "Laser ON!", and "Lies. ALL LIES" and "Fire the laSER!" Particular emphasis is always placed on the last syllable, it being shouted the loudest, causing Dr. Evil to wince everytime he hears her shout.
In the German dubbed versions of the movies she speaks with an Upper Saxon dialect.
