The Wu residence is Marcy's home on Earth.

Appearance[]

The house itself is in an indistinguishable location in Los Angeles, California. Like the Boonchuy residence, the house features a typical American design for the exterior. A red mailbox and two Chinese guardian lion statues are placed in front of the door, while the roof has green tiles and a red chimney. There is a small fountain placed next to the left guardian lion. The family car is parked next to the green lamp post on the left.

Background[]

In a flashback at the beginning of the episode "True Colors", the house is shown from exterior view when Marcy's parents are heard arguing with her daughter over having to leave California due to her father getting a new job out of state. Marcy leaves the house crying and running away because she doesn't want to lose her best friends Anne and Marcy, prompting her to find the Calamity Box at the thrift store so she can stay with her friends forever in a fantasy world.

During the epilogue of the episode "The Hardest Thing", it is sold off-screen, due to the fact that Marcy's parents moved out of state alongside their daughter.

The inside of the house is shown in Marcy's Journal: A Guide to Amphibia in a photograph of Marcy's 13th birthday that Anne had lying around and taped to the journal.

Trivia[]

  • Notably, the pair of guardian lions in front of the Wu residence are identical to each other. In Eastern cultures, guardian lions placed in front of a domicile are a male (left) and a female (right). Traditionally, this is indicated by what is underneath the paw of each: a male guardian lion has an embroidered ball (representing authority), while a female guardian lion has a playful cub (representing nurture). This distinction is often omitted in American landscaping, either depicting both lions with a ball or none at all. This may have also been simplified for ease of drawing.
