CHARACTER AND CHARACTERISTIC
SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS
· Spongebob Squarepants is the series' title
character and protagonist. He is a yellow sea sponge who physically resembles an artificial, rectangular, kitchen-type
cleaning sponge clad in brown short-pants, a white shirt and a red tie. He
lives in a pineapple house and is employed as a fry cook at a
fast-food restaurant called The Krusty Krab, where many stories take place, he
takes pride in his work and seems to worship or venerate the Krabby Patty.
SpongeBob's hobbies include practicing karate with Sandy,
as well as jellyfishing, blowing bubbles, and playing games with Patric. He attends Mrs. Puff's Boating School but has never passed, his
lack of a driver's license is a running gag throughout the series. It is
implied that, although he has no experience, he has talent in the arts. Green
and purple were early color choices for the character before yellow was chosen.
He is usually seen as weak and fragile, and his first appearance was in
"Help Wanted".Gary the Snail is SpongeBob's only pet.
PATRICK STAR
· Patric Star is a pink starfish who lives under a rock and whose most prominent
character trait is his low intelligence. He is friends with Spongebob and often
encourages activities that get the two into trouble. While typically unemployed
throughout the course of the series, Patrick holds various short-term jobs as
the storyline of each episode requires. He is good-natured, kind, and is
"the tough one" of the two who is often called to fight SpongeBob's
battles for him (although he usually gets distracted). Patrick is shown to have
a mean temper in some episodes. Despite being portrayed as a largely
unintelligent character, it is mentioned in "The Bully" that he went
to community college.His first
appearance was in "Help Wanted". He is a very
childish person, and this shows in his drooling, laziness, and immaturity.
SQUIDWARD QUINCY TENTACLES
· Squidward Quincy Tentacles is a light blue octopus with a large nose. He is SpongeBob and Patrick's
ill-tempered, grouchy next-door neighbor with a snobby attitude and a sarcastic
sense of humor. He has no talent, although he believes he is extremely
talented. He plays the clarinet and loves to paint self-portraits in different
artistic styles, which he hangs up around the walls of his house shaped like an Easter Island head-sculpture. He abhors SpongeBob and Patrick as well as his
current occupation at the Krusty Krab. He regularly falls asleep on the job and
acts condescendingly toward customers.
MR. KRAB
· Mr. Krabs , full name Eugene Harold Krabs is a red crab who owns and operates the Krusty Krab restaurant
where Spongebob works. He is self-content, intelligent, and obsessed with money. He lives
in an anchor with his daughter Pearl, who is a whale. The Krusty Krab was originally
a retirement home called "The Rusty Krab" which he bought after
returning from fighting in the war, when it went bankrupt, he turned it into a
restaurant and renamed it "The Krusty Krab."
SANDRA "SANDY" CHEEKS
· Sandra "Sandy" Cheeks is a squirrel from Texas. She has a number of athletic
interests, such as "sand-boarding" and karate, and is a rodeo
champion. She also works as a scientist, explorer, and inventor. Being from the
surface, she lives in a tree which is inside a glass dome so she can breathe.
To survive underwater, she wears a diving suit and helmet to travel outside of
her tree-dome. Whenever any aquatic creatures enter her air-filled dome, they
must wear helmets filled with water to breathe. It was mentioned in "Atlantis Square Pantis" that her full
forename is Sandra.
SHELDON J.PLANKTON
· Sheldon J. Plankton is a plankton who owns the Chum Bucket, the rival restaurant
to the Krusty Krab. As the self-proclaimed archenemy to Mr. Krabs, he
constantly tries to steal Krabs' secret recipe for Krabby Patties, but is
always unsuccessful. Sometimes, not only does he wish to run Mr. Krabs out of business, but he also
wishes to rule the world. His wife is Karen, a computer of his creation, and he
is considered the main antagonist of the series to the point where he finds
pleasure in just being evil.
GAROLD WILSON "GARY" SNAIL JR.
·
Garold
Wilson "Gary" Snail Jr. is SpongeBob's pet sea snail. Within the series, snails are analogous to cats, so Gary almost
always vocalizes like a feline. Despite this, other characters can understand and communicate with
him. Depicted as a level-headed character, Gary sometimes serves as a voice of
reason for SpongeBob, and solves problems that his owner cannot. He is
sometimes nicknamed "Gare-Bear" by SpongeBob, and it is revealed in
"A Pal of Gary" that his full first name is Garold.
