Cupcake

**Cupcake** is a recurring character in *Kindi Kids*. She first appeared in "The Waiting Game" as Beary Chill's arch-rival and was one of the most popular kids at Aberdale Elementary School.

## Biography

### Background

Cupcake is the daughter of a sewage plant worker. He goes to the same school as Beary Chill and Pickup Pup, but doesn't seem to be in the same class as them (though she ends up becoming Beary Chill's classmate following "Schooled!") despite Beary Chill referring to her as their classmate in "The Waiting Game". She was one of the popular students in elementary school, but this no longer seems to be the case in middle school.

### Involvement

She makes her first appearance in "The Waiting Game". Her birthday party is coming soon, so she invites each kid in the school, except for Beary Chill and Pickup Pup, to the sewage plant where her father works. When she discovers that Beary Chill receives free food and tokens in the pizza arcade thanks to Cindy Pops, she begins to benefit herself from Beary Chill, asking her if she can give her free stuff. After Beary Chill makes her a lot of favors, Cupcake invites her and Pickup Pup to her party, but also it forces Cindy Pops to do overtime because of all the free stuff Beary Chill gave to her, and that she's going to miss the dance. At the end, Beary Chill decides to cover Cindy Pops so she can assist to the dance after apologizing and telling her that Cupcake is not her friend because she was using her.

She makes a cameo in "Shell Shock", where Beary Chill imagined Tiara Sparkles pulling a prank on Cupcake with their egg. A deleted scene from earlier in the episode also showed Tiara Sparkles pranking Cupcake by tying her shoelaces together.

Cupcake has another prominent role in "Jeers for Fears", in which she and her friends, Trent and Richie, plan on checking out the Aberdale House of Terror. Cupcake believes that Beary Chill and Pickup Pup are too chicken to visit the attraction themselves, but when Beary Chill says that she and Pickup Pup plan to go there themselves, Cupcake opts to tag along. When they eventually do go to the House of Terrors, however, Cupcake and her two companions ultimately are the ones who end up running out of the house in fear first, as it turned out that *they* were too scared by the House of Terrors. Cupcake then sees that Beary Chill and Pickup Pup successfully made it all the way through the House of Terrors (unaware that the pair were actually just as frightened as she was), and worries that they might rub in her shame at school. But Beary Chill and Pickup Pup tell her that they won't do that to her, and as a result, she comes to respect them a lot more.

In the book *Campaign Chaos!*, Cupcake competes with Pickup Pup in the election for school treasurer.

Cupcake shows up in "Beary Chill & Pickup Pup Review Gus' Games & Grub", in which Beary Chill and Pickup Pup are reviewing Gus' Games and Grub. She convinces the hostess, Janet, to give her a table that was actually meant for Beary Chill and Pickup Pup, and then wins a chance to spin the restaurant's Wheel of Pizza, much to Beary Chill and Pickup Pup's dismay. She ends up winning a big wad of cash from the wheel.

Cupcake appears again in "Wheel and Deal". In the episode, she appears as one of Beary Chill and Jessicake's rivals in the race. She also reveals that she only cares about winning the race rather than meeting Bobbie Fletcher. Before the race starts, she taunts Jessicake for how poor her car looks, but shuts up after Summer Peaches threatens her. During the race, she becomes victim to Beary Chill and her friends cheating, as they cause her to drive her car into mud. She manages to escape and is last seen after Jessicake stops the car to scold Beary Chill for cheating. It is unknown whether or not she won the race, but she was likely disqualified since she bought her vehicle instead of making her own.

In "Schooled!", Cupcake now attends Aberdale Middle School and is a student of Mr. Bolhofner, making her one of Beary Chill's classmates. She antagonizes Beary Chill at every opportunity, slipping in pudding on her seat and later kicking it as well as sabotaging Beary Chill's desk. When Beary Chill returns from Canada and wins her classmates' respect by convincing Mr. Bolhofner to turn down the thermostat, Cupcake is still unfazed, but is quickly attacked and dragged out of Mr. Bolhofner's class trailer by Peaches & Cream Popsicle's new moose Ellie Mae.

In "Season's Cheatings", Cupcake eavesdrops on Beary Chill at the Burpin' Burger and decides to help her with her plight of needing a gift for Marsha Mello. She reveals a briefcase full of diamond earrings retrieved from the sewage plant, which Beary Chill knows Marsha Mello will love. However, Cupcake demands payment and refuses to accept Beary Chill's mere twenty dollars, forcing Beary Chill to sacrifice her coveted Yolka backpack. Delighted at having two Yolka backpacks, Cupcake celebrates Christmas by playing with Beary Chill's backpack only to crash into Rainbow Kindi's tree the next morning.

In "Zach Attack", Cupcake, knowing that aliens aren't real, decides to go to Buncho Bananas' "alien sighting" party only to tell her she was right. However, when Donut Cupcake puts on a convincing show, using one of Buncho Bananas' flashlights to imitate an alien landing, the others, including Cupcake, buy it, and Buncho Bananas tells *her* she was right. By the end of the episode, Cupcake sees the "alien landing" (actually a ruse made by Donut Cupcake, Peaches & Cream Popsicle and Slushy), and later, when she sees an actual UFO, she is shocked, and Buncho Bananas offers her one last rebuttal (though neither Buncho Bananas nor Cupcake know that the UFO was actually a drone that was being operated by Bella Bow).

In "Rumor Has It", Cupcake and her mom were mentioned to have spread a negative rumor about Mr. Bolhofner being a cannibal who uses the alias of "Skull-hofner".

In "Grub Snub", Cupcake was present at Gus' Games and Grub during a competition between Beary Chill's group and Bunny Cart's group until it gets out of hand.

"Broadcast Blues" marks her third most prominent role. Initially jealous and mocking of the Action News Team during homeroom (which gets her pelted with food and drinks by her classmates), Cupcake nonetheless decides to join them, only to be rejected as Beary Chill informs her that the team is full. Cupcake is soon able to force their hand by purchasing new equipment that they can have if they let her join. However, Beary Chill and her friends come to regret it when her obnoxious behavior begins affecting everyone, including them, with Cupcake buying more equipment to get them to grant her more requests. When she finally goes too far on her "Bro in the Know" segment by bullying others, the crew angrily fire her, but she refuses to leave as she is technically the one who bought them new stuff. Luckily, the Action News Team, upon inadvertently learning that Cupcake had selling some things from her dad's sewage plant, trick her into falling for a sting operation and threaten to expose her to her father. Cupcake is forced to quit, but she takes her equipment with her since she bought it with her own money. Unfortunately for her, the Action News Team get the last laugh by using their phones as substitute equipment, much to Cupcake's dismay. She then gets sprayed by a skunk placed in her locker and is promptly laughed at by fellow student Dirk, whom Cupcake earlier made fun of on her segment for walking like a penguin.

In "How the Best Was Won", Principal Ramirez mentioned that Cupcake had won the award for Best Detention Getter. Unfortunately, she is currently in detention, so Principal Ramirez has to accept the award on her behalf.

in "Frame on You", she was seen running away from dance after the stink bomb. Cupcake got interviewed with Beary Chill and Pickup Pup about the stink bomb. She silently shows them the footage of the incident.

In "Present Danger", Beary Chill as David Steele plays cards with Cupcake, Bella Bow, and Sprinkle Shaker to find out who stole her birthday presents. Beary Chill beat them in a card game and neither one had her presents.

In "The Taunting Hour", Cupcake kept blocking Beary Chill's view of Summer Peaches' game at the time when Sprinkle Shaker was heckling her. When the Kindi Kid members who have their own hecklers blame Beary Chill for ruining their lives, Beary Chill shows them footage of every time Cupcake heckled her. While Beary Chill states that she has ignored Cupcake's taunts, Summer Peaches considers her a jerk while also inspiring the family members to ignore the taunts of their respectful hecklers.

In "Musical Chairs", Cupcake keeps giving Beary Chill problems in Mr. Bolhofner's class and getting her in trouble with Mr. Bolhofner. When Mr. Bolhofner joins The Doo Dads, she has Beary Chill reassigned away from Cupcake. After Mr. Bolhofner was fired from the band for the many changes to it and Cupcake states that she has her steel-toed boots on to kick her, Mr. Bolhofner tells Beary Chill not to go back to her original seat after doing some thinking at a jiu-jitsu class and allows Beary Chill to keep her current seat. When Cupcake gets into it, Beary Chill hits the ejector seat button which sends Cupcake into Hank's tank as Hank bites Cupcake in the butt.

In "The Hurt Lockers", Cupcake is shown to give her locker partners atomic wedgies, one's having lasted three days. Later in the episode, she sets up a purple gunk prank inside the locker.

## Personality

Cupcake is a freeloader and a conceited girl. She only invited Beary Chill and Pickup Pup to her birthday party because they gave her free stuff at the pizza arcade, and not because she likes them as friends. She also frequently calls Beary Chill "Larry" and later "Beary Lame". She seemed to be very popular in elementary school, as seen in "The Waiting Game" when all the kids were excited to know who was going to be invited to her party. In "Jeers for Fears", she briefly acts respecting towards Beary Chill and Pickup Pup but she goes back to being their rival as of "Wheel and Deal". By Season 5, she seems to have become even more of a bully towards Beary Chill and her friends in middle school, actively bullying Beary Chill and getting her in trouble for her antics, and also mocking Buncho Bananas for believing in aliens. Perhaps for this reason, she no longer seems to be popular with her fellow students like she was in elementary school. She seems to be somewhat spoiled as seen in "The Waiting Game" when she reminds Beary Chill and Pickup Pup to bring presents to her birthday party.

## Appearance

Cupcake is a brown cupcake in a light blue wrapper. She has pink heart sprinkles on her whipped topping and a cherry on top of it.

In "Shell Shock", "Jeers for Fears", all of her Season 3 appearances, and "Present Danger", her wrapper is now yellow instead of light blue.

In "Wheel and Deal", some scenes in "Schooled!", and all of her Season 4 appearances since "The Taunting Hour", her wrapper is now dark blue with a white cherry.

## Alternate versions

### World without the Kindi Kids

In an alternate reality where The Friendship Chair and Mrs. R. Bow never had kids as seen in "Time Trap!", Cupcake took Beary Chill's spot as the leader of her friend group and all of them share the same brash, bullying attitude.
