**Martha Alice "Marthalicious" Twinkleton** is the titular protagonist of the *Marthalicious* series, created by Tracey Bollinger. She is the richest girl in Bugaboo City, and lives in an enormous mansion with her mother, father, and little brother, Diggo. She has many adventures with her family and friends while incorporating elements of visual and performing arts.

## Personality

Like her friends, Marthalicious is 8 years old and in the third grade, but in contrast, she is fashionable, talkative, melodramatic, demanding, and very wealthy. She is often spoiled, selfish and stubborn (a personality that's possibly inspired from the infamous Caillou character). She is also sometimes quite popular, which is suggested by the parties that she hosts.

When Marthalicious was younger, she was slightly more aggressive. She also gets fed up and loses her patience sometimes. She can also be manipulative and forceful, and will often take over anything and everything. Marthalicious wants to be popular and loves celebrities and fancy living to the point where her catch-phrase is "Wow, I feel like a million bucks right now!"

Because of her entrepreneurial personality, she can be disobedient, bossy, and extremely fussy at times, due to living in a mansion and being waited on by servants her entire life, she has no sense of what it means to be lower or middle class. Marthalicious is not completely a bad child, she's simply way too spoiled, but she will always do what she can to make up for the damage and mistakes she makes when she's aware of them in some episodes.

### Issues

Marthalicious has the potential to be an intelligent person but tends to be one who doesn't use common sense, much to the annoyance of her family and friends. She usually takes advantage of people until they are exhausted and frustrated.

There are also some times where Marthalicious refuses to take responsibility for things that are entirely her fault. It also seems that she is willing to go through any lengths to stay out of trouble, even if it means others suffer for it. In another episode called "Marthalicious Can't Always Get What She Wants", she even tries to steal other people's things, and believes that her philosophy is "What's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine too." She has a particular hatred for authority, since every time they tell her what to do, she angrily yells to them "**I don't have to if I don't want to!**"

Despite her friends having a reputation for eating too much food, Marthalicious also loves to eat desserts, for example in "The Sweet Sensation". She tends to eat any junk food she can find. After learning about her unhealthy habits in later episodes, she usually stops obsessing over desserts.

She occasionally cheats when she feels overwhelmed, or her friends insist she competes in a contest. Marthalicious is even reluctant when it's time for bed. This also gets her into trouble.

### Mistakes

Marthalicious always loves to be the best and better than others. But she wants more, such as winning bigger awards, being more skilled at things and triumphing over important people. Despite her superiority, there are even times where Marthalicious is a cry-baby and throws a huge tantrum when things don't go her way; on occasion she completely loses her temper, jumping up and down and yelling furiously while trying to attack others, one such instance having led to her getting arrested because of ***hurting other people*** before apologizing at the last minute.

And whenever she snaps like this, her friends are quite frightened by it. In "The Birthday Bash", when everyone makes a mess at her party, Marthalicious angrily scolds them to help her clean up.

In "The Rainbow Roundup," she is on a tirade during most of the episode. After her friends do not play her theme song how she wants, she shouts, "**THIS IS MY MUSIC, AND WE ARE GOING TO DO IT MY WAY!**"

While Marthalicious does gets annoyed a lot, it's very rare that she gets physical with anyone. In "The Glitter Glitch," her brother Diggo tries to borrow her glitterizer for his own purposes, but he accidentally drops it out the window. The glitterizer breaks, and Marthalicious yells at Diggo that he was warned not to touch it. Marthalicious' anger gets the very best of her, and she aggressively punches Diggo in the face.

As mentioned before in "The Jail Cell", Marthalicious finally earns her education degree, but due to the teachers not letting her inside the building because she hadn't finished yet, she ultimately ends up in jail for her wrongful actions (and her degree taken away), with Diggo alongside her for no apparent reason.

### Family

A recurring theme in the series is the tension between Marthalicious and her younger brother Diggo.

She gets frustrated a lot with her brother. He is frequently much smarter than her, comes to her room while she does her homework and fights over the television. Marthalicious is also jealous of him for being a better songwriter, storyteller, and fisher than her, which is embarrassing, and made her believe that he's a "show-off". Despite all of the problems and arguments between the two, they are still a great team, and they do indeed care for each other.

Their unseen parents include their mother, who is a catering accountant, and their father, who runs a car business.

## Appearance

Marthalicious is a young 8-year-old girl. In the first season of the show and early books, she was seen with bigger teeth, but they have disappeared in the second season onwards and books.

Her normal outfit consists of a pink polka-dotted jumper dress over a long-sleeved pink blouse, finished with white pantyhose and black mary-jane shoes. Depending on the theme of each book/episode, Marthalicious often wears an outfit based on that theme.

Marthalicious has short brown hair adorned with pink bows. She rarely wears her hair without them except on rare occasions (mostly when wearing hats), preferring to keep them in. She is seen with the same bows in most of the episodes, but sometimes changes them up, especially for her different outfits.

## Trivia

* Her favorite color is pink, because she loves that color very much.
* In the episode "The Toxic Nuclear Cupcakes", she eats too many of the eponymous Toxic Nuclear Cupcakes and her skin turns different colors. The doctor diagnoses her with a case of contagious diseases.
	+ This was once mentioned in "The School Daze," it is revealed that she ate all of the Toxic Nuclear Cupcakes, which inspired her nickname, "Marthalicious". Her real name might very well be Martha for obvious reasons.
* Marthalicious has gone from being kind and compassionate in the books, to a spoiled and bossy perfectionist. She is now infamous for her constant whining, crying, and temper tantrums. Her temper tantrums got so out of hand that many parents even started comparing Marthalicious to Caillou in some cases. This character almost ended the career of the author, Tracey Bollinger, on a sour note (and it's not hard to see why).
