### Personality

Bubblebath is a shy, intelligent, and studious student at Ponyville High School who gets high grades and is rumored to be the smartest student in the whole school and to have an IQ of 200. She is devoted to her studies and has a very strict "work before play" attitude, which often causes her to have a lack of sleep from staying up studying. Bubblebath is also quite shy and timid and is rather reserved; however, despite being shy and very intelligent, she *acts* very immature and foalish, often causes trouble, and is quite meek and easily scared.

### Etymology

* "Bubblebath" is a type of detergent poured into running water to make soap bubbles.
* "Supurebaburu" is the English words "spray bubble."

## History

### Pre-Series

On her first day of high school not too long before the series started, in the co-teachers' Mrs. Question Mark and Mr. Atom Whiz's science class, they instructed each student to conduct a science experiment of their choosing WITHOUT magic once they got home and report their findings the next day. Since Bubblebath is already highly intelligent and well-read about science, she felt she didn't need to do one. However, she remembered Mrs. Question Mark's words about their being a lot of potential for experiments at home with everyday items, and decided to do an experiment to make soap since she had never studied that before. After reading the ingredients on a bar of soap, Bubblebath used her knowledge of chemistry and lit a match on a piece of wood to make ashes (since there was no way her parents were going to let her buy prepared sodium hydroxide from the drugstore since it is dangerous), boiled them on the stove, combined the boiled ashes with a bottle of olive oil laying on the kitchen counter, and ended up making crude soap from it. This inspired her to make more since she enjoyed the experience, but her parents decided that they would have to buy the lye for her and get coconut oil instead since the experiment had used up all the olive oil which was supposed to be used for food. The next day, she proudly reported her findings to the class, but didn't notice that she had earned her Cutie Mark the previous day and had it the whole time, which was pointed out by Mr. Atom Whiz.

## Magical Abilities

In her Guardian of Harmony form, Bubblebath posesses enhanced physical abilities such as speed, strength, agility, invupnerability to physical damage, and the ability to fly.

Bubblebath mainly has the power of water as well as soap and other personal care cleaning products such as body wash and shampoo. Bubblebath can shoot powerful sprays of water from her hooves or horn like a shower head at full blast. She can also absorb water attacks in order to boost her own and can instantly cause it to start raining (which boosts the power of her attacks).

Her other main power is the ability to manipulate soap. Bubblebath can shoot stinging and blinding foam and sprays of floating soap bubbles from her horn and can attack with blobs of body wash, detergent, or shampoo that sting if they get into the enemy's eyes. She can create solid soap as well and can use it as shields or projectiles, or combine it with her water attacks for double effectiveness.

## Guardian of Harmony

Bubblebath is the Guardian of Intelligence; she is a Water Elemental who represents the Element of Mind and her theme color is deep sky blue. Her weapon is a squeezable shampoo bottle.

### Attacks

* Shower Gel Supreme
* Sprinkler Spray

## Trivia

* Bubblebath fits the stereotype of the intelligent, shy blue character (usually with glasses but not required), similar to characters such as Ami Mizuno from *Sailor Moon*, Yakushiji Saaya from *Hugtto! Pretty Cure*, and Sawaizumi Chiyu from *Healin' Good Pretty Cure*. In fact, she *was* partially inspired by Ami, especially her water powers and having "Intelligence" in her title.
* She is loosely based on the G3 pony Seaspray, but her Cutie Mark and mane and tail (besides it being purple, which was one of the colors in Seaspray's mane) look nothing like Seaspray's.
* Bubblebath is so intelligent that she somehow already knew how to fly and use magic even after pernamently becoming an alicorn. This somehow resulted in her getting in trouble the comical way.
* When the writers were asked how the heck Bubblebath's glasses stay on her face despite having nothing to hold them up and even when running around despite that, they replied "They're horses. The glasses are specially designed to balance on their muzzles. Besides, plot armor."
* As a running gag, whenever somecreature barges in on her while she's bathing, Bubblebath will shriek and cover herself with the suds, the joke being that there's no point since ponies don't wear clothes anyways.
* As another running gag, after permanently becoming an Alicorn, she will sometimes spray her friends with water from her horn as a prank, which once ***MAJORLY*** turns on Twilight's berserk button.... and causes Pinkie Pie to join in throwing desserts and Gumball to join in spitting sticky bubblegum which gets all over Twilight's mane and coat.
* Her ability to shoot foamy bubbles looks very similar to a Froakie's ability to shoot "Frubbles."
* Bubblebath's Harmony Color (Bathtime Blue) is occasionally announced as "Shampoo Blue." This is confirmed to be an error.
