Marcella (Kim Possible)

Marcella is a character from the Kim Possible series. She works alongside Kim as a member of the Middleton High School Cheerleaders.
==Role in the series==
Marcella is often seen in the series as a background character. 
In the episode "Sick or Swim," Marcella travels with rest of the cheer-squad to a cheering competition on the Middleton High Bus. While practicing with her fellow cheerleaders for the upcoming event, which annoys the driver and team coach Mr. Barkin, she and the others become annoyed by Ron’s antics. When night falls however, while passing by the old Camp Wannaweep grounds, the bus blows its front tires and nearly crashes. Thankfully Mr. Barkin manages to steer it without crashing. Marcella and the other girls attempt to use their cell phones to call for help, but to their shock they receive no service. This forces the group to rely on Ron, who spent many summers at the camp. 
After discovering that the camp’s pay-phone doesn’t work however, the squad decides to. Spend the night and sits around a camp fire. Like the other girls, except Tara, Marcella is profoundly annoyed by his unpleasant stories regarding his many stays at the camp. Hoping to get away, Marcella and her best friend Liz sneak away to use the nearby porta-podies. After they finish though, the two best friends are ambushed by Gill, who had orchestrated their stranding in order to get revenge on Ron, whom he blamed for his mutation. Marcella and Liz scream as Gill attacks them, but by the time Kim arrives to help them, both are kidnapped and taken away. 
When the other cheerleaders take refuge in Ron’s old cabin 13, girl attacks them and brings the captive Liz and Marcella with him. Unleashing a huge blast of green slime from his bodies, he pins all the cheerleaders to the walls of the destroyed cabin, including Marcella and Liz. Bound to the wall of the cabin, her hands and most of her inner body covered in slime, Marcella makes an attempt to break free when Gill reveals that long term contact with the muck will turn humans into mutants. Though she tries her hardest to break free, the muck is too tight and she remains to bound to the wall. After this she was visibly annoyed by Bonnie’s ranting about the upcoming contest.
After Ron escaped and eventually defeated Gill, a hazmat team arrived to free the cheerleaders before any mutations could occur. When it was revealed that Ron was the one who rescued them, Marcella, Liz, and Jessica all thank him profoundly for saving them. In her thanks, Marcella had developed a small crush on the “nerd” she once despised. After thanking Ron, she would be seen standing by Jessica as Mr. Barkin revealed that the police would be taking them back home.
==Physical appearance ==
Marcella is a young 16 year old girl of seemingly Asian-descent. She possesses light olive-brown skin, black eyes, and long straight black hair that reaches to her back. She nearly identical to her fellow cheerleader Hope, except for Marcella has a small brown freckle on right side of her face above her upper lip. Marcella is almost always seen wearing the standard Middleton cheerleader outfit.
==Personality==
Marcella, like most of the other cheerleaders, was originally rude and condescending of those she considered beneath her. This particularly included Ron Stoppable due to his goofy personality and low social standing in school. This made her somewhat pushy and hostile to those around her. While she treats all the other cheerleaders with respect, she does sometimes have her issues with Kim. She sometimes looks down on her for not being as socially standing as the other cheerleaders, such as not having a boyfriend. She was also mad at Kim for some time for allowing Ron to join the squad’s ranks. 
Despite this sense of superiority, Marcella wasn’t coldhearted. She has formed close friendships with many of her squad mates. This particularly includes Liz, her best friend, whom she shares a sisterly bond with. Also, despite her issues with Kim, she still holds respect for her and is nowhere near as rude as Bonnie is. After Ron rescued her and the others from Gill, Marcella became a much nicer and caring person. She no longer treated Ron with contempt and was extremely grateful to him, now officially considering him a member of the team. She also developed a crush on him for this as well.
