“ | As princess of Candy Kingdom, I'm in charge of a lot of candy people. They rely on me, I can't imagine what might happen to them when I was gone. And after my brush of death in the hands of the Lich, I realized something, I am not going to live forever Finn, I would if I could...But modern science just isn't there yet, so I engineered a replacement that could live forever. I call her Goliad. | „ |

She frequently gets kidnapped by the Ice King (to be rescued by Finn and Jake) and is very similar to Princess Peach, because they are both princesses and they both get kidnapped. They both also have pink as their signature color.
She is voiced by Hynden Walch who also voiced Penny Sanchez from ChalkZone, Starfire from Teen Titans and her reboot incarnation, Harley Quinn from The Batman (2004) and her DC Animated Movie Universe version, Jenny McBride in The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue, Nia Teppelin, Alice, and Wendy (After Kathryn Beaumont was retired), and Isabella Acres as her younger self in two episodes.

However, one of Bubblegum's most defining traits is her great care and overprotectiveness towards her candy people, whom she views as her own children, and she goes to very great lengths to ensure their safety. This can drive her to work herself to the point of exhaustion, and unfortunately, even lead her to taking morally questionable and authoritarian measures, like constantly spying on everyone as a means to quickly identify anyone and anything that could be a threat.

Biography[]
Past[]
At some point, after the Great War, Princess Bubblegum was formed from a sentient being known as the mother gum, where it would provide a young Marceline with chicken soup by giving it to Simon to ensure their survival. At some point, Bonnibel then left her gooey hatch, growing limbs and exploring the pond near her, She then guides her brother Neddy along with her, unfortunately he became emotionally distraught by landing on a sharp rock, letting out a terrified scream. Bubblegum then made a special calming technique which put him to sleep. Bonnibel would then took her brother and built a house around a candy tree after following him, where he would provide brown candy liquid from the tree and through Neddy. Bonnibel learned about the idea of having a family where she would build a machine and create her “relatives” from her own gum and brought them to life in her machine, including (Uncle Gumbald, Aunt Lolly and cousin Chiclay) to cope with being alone, the group then build a little town, however Gumbald had bigger plans and secretly plotted against Bubblegum by spiking her food with “dumdum juice” he created, which would have turned her into a feeble and different candy minion if not for Bubblegum eavesdropping on their plans after leaving Cream put who was created to be Bubblegum's now Ex-boyfriend. Cousin Chiclay and Aunt Lillie were unintentionally offered the samples of DumDum Juice from cupcakes which turned them both into candy people by Gumbald. Bonnibel confronts her Uncle and uses her pea shooter which dosed Gumbald with all the dumdum juice, becoming punchy. The transformed group then praised Bonnibel, as she herself would declare herself princess.
in The Vault, Bubblegum began using her science knowledge to expand the kingdom into bigger pictures, where she befriends Shoko (a ancestor of Finn Mertens) where ultimately would steal her necklace used to power her new Candy Guardians from her and landing on a green pool. Which she was unable to save her, afterwards Shoko then comforted herself onto a tree which would then be housed by Marceline and later Finn and Jake years later.
