Glitz

Click here to see quotes from Glitz.
**Glitz** is a recurring antagonist of *Sammy & Co*. She is a young rockfish who is a student in Lulu's class at the shell school in the reef village located in the Southern Seas, and the rival to Ricky, Ella, Pipo, and Annabel. She is also the leader of a gang of scorpfish bullies.

## Appearance

Glitz is a pink-colored fish with white fins and spines in stripes slightly darker than the body. Her scleras are yellow, her iris are dark green, and she has light pink lips.

## Personality

Glitz is mean, snobby, bossy, superficial, and very vain who serves as the leader to Crudd and Babbles, thanks to her resourcefulness, intelligence and cunning. If there is something that she wants, like attention or revenge, Glitz will do anything, including underhanded actions, to succeed. She enjoys causing trouble to everyone around her, especially to Ricky and his friends, and wants to show everyone that she and her gang are the most fearful residents of the reef, hence why the three often choose to skip classes so they could hang out with Big Boss and they are willing to help him archive his goal to take over the reef. Glitz can also be very manipulative, like when she persuades Pipo into joining the Rockfish in "Pipo's Pack" so she could sabotage Ricky and his friends when the class is rehearsing their synchronizing swimming for their performance in front of the other villagers.

Despite her mean attitude and demeanor, Glitz rarely has a soft side, which she will never admit it to anyone else. There are times where she even willing to set aside her rivalry with Ricky and his friends so they can work together, such as stopping a diver from exposing their secret life in the reef village by stealing his camera and they later have fun together with it. Whenever Glitz does show her soft side, though, she would always deny it by blowing them off to prevent them from knowing that she's not tough whenever they thank her, although she is really pleased with their kind words to her.

## Relationships

### Crudd

Although she doesn't want to admit it, Glitz has a small crush on her second-in-command Crudd. The two accidentally share their first kiss in "The Shark's Tooth" after Albert spits Glitz out of his mouth and she happened to hit Crudd, causing them to kiss. Glitz is more or less aware that he returns her feelings for him and she would often deny it whenever Babbles and/or any of her rivals teasing her about it. When the kids all thought Crudd have foolishly escaped from the reef and they have to come to rescue him in a crab's den in "The Legend of Coraline and White Crab, the Knight", Glitz becomes worried about him and she starts to feel with relief upon realizing that he is actually fine and kisses him on the lips in a fit of happiness. Although, she later electrocutes him when he reveals to her that he doesn't actually want to take down the giant crab and prefers to go pick a nice bouquet of seaweed for her as well as asking her for another kiss, again showing her denying her feelings to him.

### Babbles

Glitz somewhat gets along with Babbles despite the latter's chattiness. She is aware of Babbles' unrequited crush on Ella and she would often tease him about it.

### Big Boss

Glitz has huge admiration for Big Boss and she's willing to help him with his many schemes to take over the reef village so that she and her gang can be view as the most fearful members of the reef. After Philippe quit working for Big Boss in "Moray's Word of Honor", Glitz leads her gang to get to the shipwreck to ask the seahorse to hire them as his new assistants. But although Philippe is back working for Big Boss after the seahorse fires the Rockfish, Glitz continues to help Big Boss with his schemes, like stealing all the village's food in "Yum" so they could starve the villagers.

But although Glitz looks up to Big Boss, there's a rare occasion where she is against him. When the kids are all stuck in a lobster trap inside the shipwreck and Big Boss mistakenly guide two barracudas to them in "Big Boss the Hero", Glitz found out from a barracuda that Big Boss has promised the two predators that he'll guide them to the reef village to eat everyone in there, unaware that Big Boss only said it so he could protect himself, Marco, Philippe, and Jax from being eaten by them. This causes her to turn against Big Boss and tell on the villagers about his plan to guide the barracudas to the reef and have lied to the villagers about trying to "save" the kids.

### Ricky

Out of her classmates, Glitz greatly despises Ricky the most as she treats him cruelly and takes any chance she can to humiliate him and crush in his ego, including framing him in "Vengeance Under the Shell". In "The Shark's Tooth", Glitz challenged the young turtle to a bet that whoever brings a shark's tooth back to the reef first will be the bravest of the ocean. However, Glitz is fully aware that Ricky and his friends would likely accomplish their mission so she decided to cheat by attempting to steal Albert's tooth. After she failed to steal Albert's tooth, she decided to brag to Ricky that she lost it by lying to him that she fights against a shark while retrieving the tooth.

But although Glitz hates the idea of working together with Ricky and his friends, she is willing to help them stop a diver from exposing the secret of the reef village to the other humans by stealing his camera to prevent him from recording them in "Light on the Reef".

### Ella

Just like with Ricky, Glitz has a huge dislike to Ella and always teases her for being Lulu's favorite student.

### Pipo

Like as she is with the rest of her class, Glitz is disrespectful and rude towards Pipo. When the Rockfish are unable to rehearse their synchronizing swimming correctly in "Pipo's Pack", she is willing to persuade Pipo into joining the Rockfish so the group could win, but she regrets it later on when Pipo bosses her and the gang around and being very demanding during their rehearsal.

### Annabel

Because Annabel is friends with Ricky and Ella, Glitz sees her as an enemy and doesn't treat her with any sort of kindness because of Annabel's naiveness. In "A Pretend Fight", Glitz doesn't accept Annabel's apology when the octopus gets in her way while the Rockfish are racing around the reef that Glitz intimidates her about it.

### Lulu

Although Glitz has some respect for Lulu because he is her teacher, she and her gang would enjoy disturbing him during his lessons as well as skipping school since she sees attending Lulu's class very boring.

## Trivia

* In the original French version, she is called Strass.
* In the Polish version, she is called Zalotka.
* When the solar eclipse is about to happen in "In Places for the Eclipse!", it causes Glitz to feel very cold and starts sneezing.
* True to her name, Glitz likes anything that is shiny, like when she takes a liking to a starfish sequin in "Vengeance Under the Shell".
* Glitz is the only member of her gang to not get electrocuted by her fellow rockfish.
