History Characters / SpongebobSquarePants

* FaceHeelTurn: He turned back to normal by the end of the episode though.

!!'''Sandy Cheeks'''
->Voiced by: Carolyn Lawrence

An athlete/scientist squirrel from Texas.

* TheAce: Particularity as her appearances get less frequent.
* ActionGirl
* BadassBookworm (Easily the most intelligent in the main cast, but often shown to be as physically strong as [[TheBigGuy Larry the Lobster]]. Also likes life-threatening stunts.)
* BalloonBelly: in a recent episode
* BerserkButton: Never ever insult anything/anyone from Texas, or even the state itself. You will regret it, as [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick faced the serious consequences.
** Or rip all of her fur off (Sponge Bob and Patrick do this to her during the hibernation episode, when she finds out she beats them and then uses them as bikinis), or kick her in the butt (Squidward is trying to put a band together, when Sponge Bob asks him if they can start kicking now, Squidward replies that they only do that during chorus lines, then Patrick responds by saying he wants to kick something, he does kick Sandy in the butt, causing her to clobber him with a trombone, he later does it again with the same effect happening).
* TheChewToy: Not as much as the others but Sandy suffers some physical damage at times, such as being mauled by a gorilla, having her fur torn off by Spongebob and Patrick, being plagued with fleas, being hit by a car off of a mountain and so on.
* CloserToEarth: Flip flops with this. While she is far more intelligent than most of the cast, she is occasionally shown to have a very rowdy and abrasive temperment when pushed. She is also sometimes more aware of her position in this trope [[SmallNameBigEgo than she really is]]. Granted as the rest of the cast became Flanderized more and more, her own flaws became less significant.
* CompetitionFreak: Sandy is used to being the best at multiple talents and sports, so gets rather aggressive with when challenged.
* DemotedToExtra: Inverted: She and Gary are more common in merchandise than the show.
* EverythingIsBigInTexas
* FishOutOfWater (Played straight, though she's [[CaptainObvious actually a squirrel IN water]])
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Choleric
* {{Invisibility}}: As Miss Appear in ''Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V''.
* TheLadette (by many fan [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation interpretations]].)
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Masculine Girl to [=SpongeBob=]'s Feminine Boy.
* OnlySaneWoman
* OutOfFocus (Appears less and less with each season, it seems).
* PantyShot: Frequently
* ParodySue: A few episodes, especially in the Second Season, seem to [[LampshadeHanging make light of]] her [[GodModeSue somewhat lengthy amount of talents]] and [[CanonSue positive aspects]], it also usually being these points she was portrayed in a more flawed light. May count as an example of RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap with those elements considered.
* PositiveDiscrimination (Arguable example. Is the most gifted and least flawed central character by miles, though partly due to excessive {{Flanderization}} of the bipedal, male characters. Admittedly it is also balanced by frequent NotSoAboveItAll moments).
** She played it undeniably straight pre-CharacterDevelopment however.
* SmallNameBigEgo (Albeit [[DependingOnTheWriter not as consistently]] as Squidward).
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Sandy is the only female who can be considered a main character, and even then [[OutOfFocus her appearances are becoming less frequent]].
* SouthernFriedGenius.
* TokenGoodTeammate: The only main character that isn't either a {{Jerkass}} or a moron.
** Her occasional [[SmallNameBigEgo ego]] and [[BerserkButton temperament]] can provoke some unfortunate situations in the show (eg. ''Pressure), that said, she is arguably the one recurring character that hasn't had her flaws [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]] over her redeeming aspects.
* TooCleverByHalf

** Also on ''Good Neightbors'', Squidward had set up a security alarm in his house as SpongeBob and Patrick come in without any problem to give him an apology cake and apologize for unknowingly ruining his Sunday. But Squidward tries to get them kicked out instead of accepting their apology.

* UngratefulBastard: In ''Squidtastic Voyage'' when he told SpongeBob and Patrick to leave his body without even a thank you for getting the reed out of his throat.

* AntiHero [[SlidingScaleOfAntiHeroes Type III -> Type V]] -> VillainProtagonist.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: As recently as "''The Masterpiece''" he did have far more limits and nobilities in his greed ([[MyGodWhatHaveIDone or at least felt really bad when he overstepped them, like selling [=SpongeBob=]'s soul in the spur of the moment and the aforementioned Krusty Sponge]]). Prior to his own development, Plankton often represented boundaries and methods in money making that Krabs drawn the line against.

* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife

* DemotedToExtra
* OnlyOneNameZ: Post movie. He wasn;t seen at all in season six.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome

* ParodySue (A few episodes, especially in the Second Season, seem to [[LampshadeHanging make light of]] her [[GodModeSue somewhat lengthy amount of talents]] and [[CanonSue positive aspects]], it also usually being these points she was portrayed in a more flawed light.

* {{Expy}} of [[{{Aquaman}} Black Manta]].

* HarmlessVillain: In ''FUN'' and ''Spy Buddies''.

* OutOfFocus

* OnlyOneName

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQDTKPbwxUw The Lineman]]. It has existed before ''Spongebob'' was created, but most people think of it as the "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy" theme.

* PaletteSwap: Into red and lime green.

* BerzerkButton: In the first three seasons, Patrick would go a rampage if anything greatly upset him. Examples include being the only person who didn't get a gift from Spongebob on Valentine's Day, Spongebob living with the jellyfish, and being called "Tubby".
