Bubbles (PPG)

**Bubbles** is one of the main characters from the *Powerpuff Girls* series.

Bubbles is the one in the blue outfit with the blonde hair and pigtails. As the "sugar", she's the most childish, naive, and timid of the three, but also the most gentle, caring, and playful. She's a friend to all living things, and she has the unique ability to talk to animals and speak any language.

In the XP4 fics, Bubbles is part of the Grand Empire and is a member of Team B.

## **Appearance**

Bubbles has light blue eyes with two blonde pigtails and her hair nicely separated. She wears a baby blue dress with a black belt, long white socks and Mary Jane shoes.

## **Personality**

Bubbles does have a tendency to be overemotional, despite having a habit to be ditzy, naive and sensitive, leading to her sometimes being regarded as the group's weakest link, by friends and foes alike. However, she can become very independent and aggressive, let alone extremely mad when tempted, as seen in Bubblevicious. Out of all the Powerpuff Girls, she is the most feared by Mojo Jojo after having single-handedly taken him down in a fit of rage in the aforementioned episode. At one point, Bubbles gets severely hit on her head and dresses up as Mojo to fight her sisters.

## **Abilities**

She can scream loud enough to shatter glass or buildings and stun opponents. Bubbles can speak multiple languages (although throughout the series we don't hear her speak any language other than English, Japanese, Spanish, or Squirrel).

In the episode "Ice Sore," Professor Utonium states that Bubbles' special ability is the ability to speak Spanish. However, as the series progresses, Bubbles' linguistic capabilities appear to grow. In the episode "Super Zeros," Bubbles is shown to be able to read and speak Japanese. In the episodes "Fuzzy Logic" and "Stray Bullet," Bubbles is shown to be able to speak Squirrel. Bubbles seems to have developed a complete understanding and speaking of animal languages.

In the episode "Reeking Havoc", Bubbles smelt the Professor's chili for the Chili Contest and she named the ingredients one by one without knowing them.

In the episode "Los Dos Mojos" Bubbles is seen unleashing a big fury of red lightning all around her, causing a lot of havoc. This ability is never seen again. Bubbles may not be aware of her full capabilities as she used this one in a confused state of mind.

Other signature abilities include Vaporize, Electricity Ball (colored light blue), Electric Blast and Blue Laser Beams.

## **Trivia**

* Octi has been Bubbles's best friend since he was given to her by the Professor.
* She was the first of the girls to be seen naked with Blossom shown in Down 'n' Dirty.
* Bubbles emphasizes her "l"s a little differently later on in the series, her "l"s sound a little sharper and less curved like an American accent. It's quite noticeable when she says "Blossom". This gives her kind of a more childish like feel to her voice and accent.
* Bubbles makes a cameo appearance in *Chowder* in an episode "The Heist," making her the second "Powerpuff Girls" character to appear in *Chowder*(the first being Ms. Bellum). She appeared because Mung ate a sugar sapphire. Tara Strong also voices Truffles.
* In the English version, Bubbles can speak Spanish as a second language. In the Spanish version, her second language is English.
* It is mentioned in the episode "Collect Her" that Bubbles is a vegetarian. However, in many episodes, she is shown to eat meat. Such as Child Fearing where she was shown eating shrimp. It's possible that she changed her diet.
* In her interview for the movie, she denies ever crying and claims that sometimes she gets something in her eye.
* Bubbles was voted the favorite in the *Powerpuff Popularity Contest*.
* In "Pet Feud", Bubbles is the only one who doesn't play with BEEBO before feeding it.
* Bubbles has a slight resemblance to Dee Dee from *Dexter's Laboratory*.
* Bubbles has an "X" mark on the back of her head.
* Bubbles doesn't appear to have visible blue hair bands for her pigtails. However, her 2016 counterpart has visible blue hair bands with her pigtails raised in the rebooted TV series.
