Charcter: Sandy Cheeks

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sandra Sandy Squirrel Cheeks is a fictional animated character in the Nickelodeon animated series, Spongebob SquarePants. Sandy is voiced by Carolyn Lawrence.

Sandy is a very talented and athletic squirrel born in the state of Texas on May 21, 1984, who moved to Bikini Bottom in the South Pacific Ocean underneath Bikini Atoll, for as yet unrevealed reasons. She lives in an air-filled habitat structure called the "Treedome" (a plexiglass dome containing a tree, living quarters and various other land plants). When outside of the Treedome, Sandy wears an air-filled diving outfit that looks much like an astronaut's suit; while in her Treedome, she wears a purple bikini with a purple skirt-like ring around her middle and with green underneath. Physically, Sandy is one of the strongest creatures (along with Larry Lobster) in Bikini Bottom. She claims to be stronger than Larry, and the strongest one in Bikini Bottom and she can even pull down gigantic ships and boats from the surface of the ocean as seen in Sandy, Spongebob and the Worm.

Sandy's interests include her native state of Texas, acorns, karate, various forms of athletics, pecan pies, fly fishing and science. Related to the latter, Sandy is an esteemed squirrel scientist, and has built her own rocket ship. She's even gone to the moon, but unlike Spongebob SquarePants, does not believe in moon creatures. Recently, Sandy also has taken (and got carried away with) explosive special effects in filmmaking.

Sandy also has a large variety of pets, including caterpillars, snakes, crickets, mice, and birds, among others. A caterpillar named Wormy she owned once caused a riot among the citizens of Bikini Bottom, after it transformed into a butterfly and escaped her Treedome.

Sandy is a good friend of the sea sponge, Spongebob SquarePants, and enjoys various activities with him (including karate). Sandy introduced to Spongebob SquarePants (and the other citizens of Bikini Bottom) the holiday of Christmas.

Sandy is somewhat sensitive about her minority status as an air-breathing land creature (the only other air-breathing animals seen in the series are whales). She's very friendly and has an upbeat and positive attitude, but can be very fierce when angered. Sandy is an avowed Texas partisan, and speaks with a strong southern accent (although whether her accent is genuinely "Texan" is debatable); she takes strong offense at any negative comments about Texas. The Sandy Cheeks character is a grand example for the blending of cultures.
