Revision as of 19:09, 26 October 2019

Poil (or Pearl) is a character from the Casper the Friendly Ghost franchise. She is a ghost who is the girlfriend of Spooky and is also good friends with Casper. First appearing in Spooky #3 in 1954, she has made numerous appearances since.

Appearance

Poil's has a face and body shape similar to that of Casper's, with a small nose and blue eyes.

Her most distinctive feature is her long, blonde hair with a purple (or pink) bow on top.

Personality

Poil is essentially a female counterpart to Casper. She is calm, innocent, and kind-hearted like the namesake friendly ghost, and doesn't like to scare people on purpose like her boyfriend. She is also notably intelligent, and likes to read and go to school. She speaks in a Brooklyn accent.

In The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper, her personality is comparable to a dumb blonde, as she is notably absent-minded and takes figurative expressions way too literally. She however retains her freindliness from the comics and still doesn't approve of scaring humans intentionally like her friend Casper.

Her relationship with Spooky, which is emphazied upon throughout both the comics and cartoon, is somewhat rocky. Often times, she has been shown to have a more positive relationship with Casper rather than her boyfriend.

History

Comics

Poil first appeared in Spooky #3, Spooky came across her while trying to escape a truant officer from his school (who was later revealed to be Poil's father).
