Pail

**Pail** is a main character on *Blue's Clues* and *Blue's Clues & You!*.

## Description

﻿Pail is the sister of Shovel and is often outside in the sandbox filling herself with sand. She enjoys making sandcastles and usually gives a hand to Steve or Joe when they are looking for Blue's Clues. She has an active imagination and wants to become a vet when she is an adult along with Shovel.

## Looks

Pail is red with a white handle. The ends of her handle that connect to her body are swirl-shaped. Her eyes and eyebrows are black and her mouth is yellow. Her color scheme is the inverse of Shovel, who is yellow with a red mouth. In the original series, Pail, Shovel, and Slippery were the only main characters with permanent eyebrows.

## Appearances

Counting the opening and credit sequences, Pail has appeared with Shovel in nearly every episode of *Blue's Clues*. Her first appearance was in "Snack Time." Her last appearance on *Blue's Clues* was "Bluestock." She makes an additional appearance in the *Blue's Room* special "Meet Blue's Baby Brother."
