Sandy Cheeks (The Life of SpongeBob SquarePants)

Sandra "Sandy" Cheeks (born July 23, 1987) is one of the main characters in The Life of SpongeBob SquarePants. Sandy is a squirrel and a friend of SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star. Sandy originally hailed from Texas, moving underwater to Bikini Bottom sometime during her youth. She still has relatives in Texas and occasionally returns there to visit them ("Sandy Goes a-Writin'").
== Personality ==
Sandy is generally good-natured, like her friends SpongeBob and Patrick; she is friendly, cheerful, and welcoming to those around her. However, unlike both of them, she is also very intelligent and knowledgeable; SpongeBob refers to her at least once as an "underwater walking encyclopedia" ("Sandy Goes a-Writin'"). She cares very much about the society and people around her, even strangers, and sometimes feel that she has a duty to make positive contributions, not just for herself, but also for Bikini Bottom.
To survive underwater, Sandy always uses a suit whenever she ventures out of her air-locked treedome. The suit is white and features a yellow patch with the picture of an acorn on it. Each sleeve has two red and one blue rings. She wears gray boots with two red dots on the side of each boot.
== Biography ==
Sandy was born in Houston, Texas, the United States on July 23, 1987. She came to Bikini Bottom sometime during her youth and became friends with SpongeBob and Patrick, among others.
In the season 1 episode "Sandy Goes a-Writin'", Sandy wrote a book titled The Horrible Condition of Bikini Bottom's Employees, in which she condemns the Bikini Bottom businesses' ignorance of the standard weekly working hour limit of 54 hours and their negligence when it comes to providing overtime payments. The initial run of 10,000 copies was distributed by Sheldon J. Plankton to the Bikini Bottom Central Department Store. While it became a best-seller there, it was later found that Plankton had added a preface without Sandy's permission, in which he promotes the Chum Bucket over the Krusty Krab. Sandy and SpongeBob quickly explained the situation to customers who had abandoned the Krusty Krab for the Chum Bucket, resulting in them returning to the Krusty Krab.
