The Onion Pixy Girl, also known as Oniko, is, well, a female Onion Pixy. Though she is supposed to be Onion's girlfriend, she doesn't quite grasp the concept of "exclusive", being much more interested in a guy who doesn't even care his left arm is malformed. As such, she is the cause of much grief, instead of happiness, for the male specimen of her species. While she hardly speaks and is not nearly as annoying as her male counterpart, she is famous for having an ambiguous name.

Etymology

Her Japanese name is simply Oniko (おに子), which is formed by shortening onion to oni and sticking the female suffix -ko on the end. There have been two notable translations of this name so far. SEGA's website for Puyo Puyo Fever 2 suggested her English name would have been Onion Pixy Girl, with the site saying such on the background. However, an unknown source, likely a group of pissy neophytes, began calling her Onionette, which is another correct way of translating her name. All three names have stuck evenly, and which is actually her real name is the subject of much controversy.
