The Peach That's Not So Sweet
Miss Peach made her Clue debut in the Clue VCR game released in 1985. (And it's sequel Clue II Murder in Disguise released in 1987). Portrayed by Mara Flash in both games. In this version she is a southern belle trapped at Boddy Mansion, seemingly by accident, when the bridge leading to the house is washed out in a fierce storm. It is later revealed that her appearance wasn't as accidental as it may have seemed. As it turns out Miss Peach, along with her con artist adoptive father M. Brunette, have devised a plan where Miss Peach will pose as Mr. Boddy's long lost daughter in order to inherit the bulk of his vast estate. She is proficient with firearms, knife throwing, and handling blunt objects... all perfect talents for being a suspect in a murder mystery game. She is also quite knowledgable about poisons, a fact that would carry over into 1988's Clue Master Detective.
Her next appearance was in Super Cluedo Challenge, released in Great Britain in 1986. Here she is embroiled in the strange death of Dr. Black. In this version she was depicted as more of a middle-aged maiden then her usual image as one of the youngest suspects.
Next came 1988's Clue Master Detective. In this version she was Mr. Boddy's long-lost great-step-niece, or at least she claimed to be. It can be assumed from the text on her suspect card, that she was quite fond of the use of poisons, as her favorite flower was deadly nightshade.
Miss Peach would not appear again until Cluedo Passport to Murder released in 2000. In this version she is embroiled in the death of Dr. Black aboard the Trans-Continental train in Istanbul.
She would appear again in Cluedo Master Detective released in France in 2001. Her name becomes much classier in this version as she is called Mlle. Peche. She would also be included in German Super Cluedo released that same year, although with a few minor changes. Her name would become Lady Sarah and her color in this game is now pink.
Clue FX released in 2003 would be her next appearance. In this game she has a change of heart and is one of four playable characters acting as amateur sleuths in the investigation of the mysterious death of Miles Meadow-Brook, Mr. Boddy's lawyer.
Miss Peach returns to her more criminal roots in the 2005 release of Clue Mysteries. Although she doesn't get to put her knowledge of poisons to good use in this version (there are no murders) she may or may not be involved in several cases of theft and other various lesser crimes. She is described as being bitter, lonely, and miserable. She moved to Hampshire County from America after her father went broke, she dropped out of law school, and her fiancee left her. After all that, can you blame her for being bitter, lonely, and miserable?
She has been christened with the names Melba, Georgia, Sarah and Amelia in the VCR games, Clue Master Detective, German Super Cluedo, and Clue Mysteries respectively. She is 22 years old.
All in all, Miss Peach has proven herself to be a worthy addition, and just as deadly, as the original six suspects.
