Sandy Cheeks is a major character in the Nickelodeon animated franchise SpongeBob SquarePants.

She is an anthropomorphic squirrel who is one of SpongeBob's best friends. Sandy is notable for her Texan characteristics, stereotypical accent and passion for science.

She is voiced by Carolyn Lawrence, who also voiced Cindy Vortex in the Jimmy Neutron series and Ashley Graham in Resident Evil 4.

Description[]

Sandy comes from the state of Texas, she was actually born in Houston, Texas but she exhibits many characteristics of a stereotypical cowgirl character by going to every city in Texas. She speaks with a heavy southern accent, and uses typical southern slang words and phrases.

She is very fond of her homeland and its culture, as most notably seen in the episode "Texas", in which she grows homesick for it and considers leaving Bikini Bottom to return to Texas. In that same episode, she takes great offense at SpongeBob and Patrick's negative remarks about Texas, and violently attacks them when they continue to insult it.

Sandy is one of the most intelligent and sensible characters on the show. She is a multi-talented scientist and inventor, and originally came to Bikini Bottom to study sea creatures and their lifestyles. In Chimps Ahoy, it is revealed that she is employed by a trio of chimpanzees from the surface, named Dr. Marmalade, Lord Reginald, and Professor Percy. As an inventor, Sandy is capable of creating extremely advanced devices with ease.

Appearance[]

Sandy is most commonly seen wearing her air suit when she is outside her tree dome. The suit is white with a yellow patch that has an acorn on it. The suit comes with a big glass dome (but it doesn't have an oxygen tank) with a pink flower attached. When she appears inside the tree dome, she wears a purple bikini top, and a purple and green skirt-like bottom.

As the rodent, her appearance is more reminiscent of an actual squirrel, albeit being roughly the size of a horse.

Personality[]

Sandy is usually kind and caring for SpongeBob SquarePants and is known to help him out when he's feeling lost as seen in newer episodes, such as "Lost in Bikini Bottom." However, in older episodes, she is shown to be much more erratic. For example in "Prehibernation Week," she is shown to be more insane when she forces SpongeBob to play rather dangerous activities, thus prompting SpongeBob to run away in fear.

She then forced all Bikini Bottomites to search nonstop for days on end looking for him, to the point when they all ran and hid from her just like SpongeBob. Sandy takes full pride in her Texas heritage and shown with her Texan accent. She had a lot of experience there and won't stand any insults from anyone who insults it, as shown in "Texas," where she cried several times throughout the episode because she missed her old homeland. SpongeBob and Patrick then made fun of Texas, extremely offending Sandy to the point where she pursued both of them down and brutally attacked Patrick.

She has also been shown to have a strong competitive streak and a high opinion of herself. In "Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm," she completely ignores SpongeBob's warnings about the Alaskan Bull Worm and tells him that she is "too Texas tough," only to discover the hard way that the Bull Worm is indeed too much for her to handle. In "Pressure," she continuously brags that land creatures are better than sea creatures and nearly drowns herself in an attempt to "prove" it.

She is also shown to be very sensitive about her home country and will harm anyone who dares to speak the name of Texas in vain.
