Margaret

**Margaret** is the mother of Annabel. She is the reef village's seaweed gardener who helps harvest the food ration for the other villagers, as well as guarding the village against any predators.

## Appearance

Margaret is a large, light pink octopus, with a slightly darker pink on the lips and the top of the head. Her eyes are pale blue.

## Personality

Despite her large size, Margaret is gentle, kind, and loving. She cares a lot about her daughter Annabel and her fellow villagers in the reef. With great concern and compassion toward others, she helps those in need with selflessness, especially to people she doesn't know well like Ricky and Ella in *A Turtle's Tale 2: Sammy's Escape from Paradise* after they immediately first met and she's willing to help them rescue their grandfathers from "The Tank".

## Relationships

### Annabel

Margaret loves her daughter very much since she raises her since Annabel was a young baby as seen in *A Turtle's Tale 2: Sammy's Escape from Paradise*. While getting along strongly with Annabel, Margaret is reasonable and wise when it comes to disciplining her and expecting good actions from her. This is mentioned in "The Imaginary Invalid" when Lulu threatens to tell on Annabel to Margaret if he catches her sneaking out of the reef with her friends again.

### Ricky and Ella

When Ricky and Ella were only a few hours old in *A Turtle's Tale 2: Sammy's Escape from Paradise*, they both met Annabel and Margaret somewhere in the Southern Seas during their journey to rescue their grandfathers Sammy and Ray after they're captured by poachers. At first, Margaret is hesitant to let the hatchlings go off on their own because of their young age, but she's willing to help them after Annabel befriends them.

### Jimbo

In "Sweetheart Jimbo", it's revealed that Jimbo has been secretly in love with Margaret for a long time but he can't bring himself to tell her how he feels because of his insecurity about his appearance and he would often pretend he fall asleep to avoid talking to her. But when Jimbo believes that he turned handsome after wishing on a "magic shell" in a crab cave, actually a plan that Ricky and Ella both secretly created to help boost his confidence without him knowing, he asks Margaret to go out on a date with him and she accepts. Throughout their date, Margaret is deeply admired by Jimbo's kindness towards her that she starts developing feelings to him in return. However, unbeknownst to Margaret, Jimbo has swim back into the crab cave after their date and found his reflection in the mirror, causing him to believe that the "magic spell" is broken and that he reverts back to his ugly appearance. He hurts Margaret's feelings as a result by telling her that they should never be together due to his ugliness, causing her to swim back to her garden and weep. Later when Ricky and Ella confess to Jimbo that the "magic shell" doesn't actually exist and that Margaret loves him for his kindness, Jimbo swims back to Margaret and confesses his true feelings to her, making them become a couple in the process.
