Nellie Citrianne

"Just... leave me alone..." - Nellie to Spongebob on several occasions
"I'm only here until I graduate Veterinary School, then I'll be on my way"- Nellie in "Sweet-Tart Shark"
"I think I might just work here instead..." - Nellie to Squidward in "Lemon Shark Love"
==Appearance/Disambiguation==
Nellie Citrianne is a pink lemon shark who usually wears a black t-shirt with a white 'Z?' insignia on the chest, ripped jeans, and blue canvas shoes. She has bright blue eyes, long black hair, and constant bags under her eyes, with a fang usually poking out of her mouth, from her top jaw. She is mainly a bright pink, but has light pink on her palms, belly, mouth area, and the underside of her tail. She has two spiked growths on either side of her head, making her look almost like a kobold or cat. She is the titular protagonist of a spinoff series that has yet to be named.
==Personality==
Nellie is a very tired and on-edge shark, opting usually to keep to herself, although she has been known to initiate friendly conversations with her coworkers, mainly Squidward, who she has a fairly positive opinion of. Once, to hopefully make more cash, Mr. Krabs had her work the register, where she was almost immediately faced with an entitled customer who chewed Nellie out without reason the moment they saw her, causing her to break down. Squidward immediately brought her to the back to calm down and took over for her when he realized what was going on. The two became friends shortly thereafter. Nellie is voiced by Laura Bailey, although in flashbacks to her childhood, her voice is done by Luci Christian. Her last name, "Citrianne" is a mild pun on "Citrus" alluding to a further pun on her species of Lemon Shark. Nellie is a skilled violinist, with her violin talents lent to her by the real-world musician Lindsey Stirling.

=== Christmas Who? ===
In Encino, California, the French Narrator introduces the president of the SpongeBob SquarePants fan club, Patchy the Pirate, along with his "pet," Potty the Parrot. Patchy receives a fan letter, asking if SpongeBob likes Christmas as much as he does. Patchy explains that they did not always celebrate Christmas in Bikini Bottom, and decides to show how they were introduced to it.
While heading to Sandy's treedome for a surprise visit, SpongeBob SquarePants is horrified to see her electrifying the tree with Christmas lights, perceiving it as a house-fire. Sandy informs SpongeBob that she is preparing for the holiday season, and explains customary Christmas traditions to him. SpongeBob becomes excited of a visit from Santa Claus, and spreads the news to the rest of Bikini Bottom. However, Squidward refuses to participate in the celebrations, claiming that Santa does not exist. Nellie also refuses to participate because of the several negative experiences she's had around that time of year. The citizens of Bikini Bottom enthusiastically prepare for the upcoming holiday, but their faith is shattered after Santa fails to arrive on Christmas Eve. Upset with SpongeBob, they leave him behind and go home in disappointment, now believing that Santa doesn't exist.
Squidward is later shown comforting Nellie inside his house. Handing her a cup of tea and his TV remote while telling her "Stay as long as you like." and generally showing a nicer side of himself to her.
After being presented with a homemade gift from SpongeBob, Squidward feels guilty for hurting his feelings and tries to compensate for his rudeness by masquerading as Santa Claus to SpongeBob; however, he later winds up distributing all his possessions to the residents of Bikini Bottom as Christmas gifts. Squidward encounters a note from Santa Claus, graciously thanking him, and sees his sleigh soaring overhead. Dismissing Santa as a sign of his insanity, Squidward goes inside his house to play his clarinet and continue comforting Nellie
After the SpongeBob episode ends, Potty gives Patchy a little present. Patchy then steps under a mistletoe, hoping to be kissed by a woman, only for Potty to start chasing after him with the intention of kissing him. Seeing that Patchy is busy at the moment, the French Narrator wishes the audience a happy holidays.
=== Dunces and Dragons ===
SpongeBob and Patrick attend a jousting tournament at the Medieval Moments restaurant, where they volunteer to participate in the tournament. They are put on seahorses and given lances. The seahorses charge without warning, and SpongeBob and Patrick are thrown out of the building into an 11th-century Bikini Bottom.
A group of knights surrounds and imprison them with Squidward's ancestor, Squidly the jester. They meet Nellie's ancestor, a master thief named Majora, who is shown to wear a black cloak most of the time. Under her cloak she wears a mouth guard, black gloves, a dark blue tunic, and dark leggings with black boots that have a rune resembling a bitemark embossed on the sides. Unlike her descendant, Nellie, Majora is not particularly close with Squidly, although they do have an implied history together. Majora stages a prison break, but it fails due to Patrick forgetting his part of the plan. Eventually, Mr. Krabs' ancestor, King Krabs, orders SpongeBob, Patrick, Majora, and Squidly to the throne room, where they are to be executed for insulting him with a song, and Majora is to be executed for theft. However, Princess Pearl reminds King Krabs of the prophecy that two brave knights will team up with a thief and a jester and be sent by the king to defeat the evil wizard Planktonamor, who terrorizes the kingdom with his dragon jellyfish. 
Moments later, Planktonamor's dragon kidnaps Princess Pearl, and King Krabs begs SpongeBob and Patrick to rescue her, who gladly accept along with Majora and Squidly. Soon after, the trio approaches Planktonamor's tower, where an ancestor of Sandy Cheeks known as the Dark Knight blocks them. After a karate duel against SpongeBob, the Dark Knight decides to help the group on their quest. At the top of the tower, the group encounters the dragon, who becomes an ally to them after SpongeBob gives it a Krabby Patty. The dragon destroys Planktonamor, and the group returns to the kingdom to celebrate. Once there, the seahorses become aggressive, tossing SpongeBob and Patrick once again. After waking up, the pair find themselves in present-day Bikini Bottom at the joust, with SpongeBob believing it was all a dream. However, Patrick notices that he has landed on Squidly and Majora, revealing that they did indeed travel through time.
=== Have you Seen This Snail? ===
SpongeBob is bringing snail food to his house. When he reaches home, he gets a package containing the Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy paddle ball set. Also in it is the Dirty Bubble challenge, requiring him to do 29,998,559,671,349 hits with the paddle ball.
He gets so carried away with the game that he forgets to feed Gary and gets angry with him for distracting him from his game when he wants food. SpongeBob ignores Gary saying that he wants to be left alone. Out of hunger and desperation, Gary tries to get him to feed any possible way, but this only annoys SpongeBob even more, with this SpongeBob neglectfully yells at him to leave him alone. Heartbroken and hungry, Gary abandons SpongeBob and leaves the town.
Later, Patrick comes to see SpongeBob, but it turns out he is still trying to complete the Dirty Bubble challenge. Patrick then reveals that he won the challenge but lost the trophy. SpongeBob realizes that he has not fed Gary yet. After finishing with food, SpongeBob calls for Gary, only to find out that Gary is gone as he had been doing the challenge for a week. The two try to find him, and after a while they find a note from Gary stating that he ran away. SpongeBob becomes horrified and remorseful for himself, then he goes on a desperate hunt.
Meanwhile, Gary is going through a town faraway from Bikini Bottom, and gets picked up by an old lady who thinks he is another snail. At the same time, SpongeBob tries to look for his snail all over town, but cannot find him, much to his despair.
At the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob is sad that he cannot find Gary until Mr. Krabs unintentionally motivates him to work harder to get Gary back. SpongeBob and Patrick start to search for him all over town. Patrick ends up going in a store to look for scented pine cones and he sees Gary. However, he is too distracted by the scented pine cones, so he never tells SpongeBob about seeing Gary. Nellie puts an encouraging arm around SpongeBob and tells him that Gary will come back in due time.
Afterwards, SpongeBob and Patrick start putting up posters and messages all over town in hopes of finding Gary, and this event is followed by a song set to a montage of SpongeBob and Patrick unsuccessfully finding the snail, even missing him at certain points where they are actually in the same place Gary and Grandma are. (Also, a heartbroken and disappointed version of SpongeBob is shown at night in his pineapple home sadly missing his beloved pet snail).
Gary slowly gets overfed by the old woman, and at some point he sees the papers from SpongeBob telling him to come back. After coming across a closet full of empty broken snail shells and seeing that the grandma is feeding him too much, he realizes she has been trying to fatten him up to eat him. The snails in the portrait on Grandma's wall then yell, "Run!" and Gary runs away from her and goes to find SpongeBob.
Meanwhile, Patrick comforts a crying SpongeBob, who decides to give up. Eventually, he goes outside and laments the fact that he neglected Gary, who finds SpongeBob desperately wanting him back. Gary finally reunites with SpongeBob much to his joy and promises things are going to much better between the two of them then takes Gary home to get him something to eat, telling him he must be starving. Gary however, only replies with a deep denial "Meow," stating that he is overfilled.
