Sandra Olivia "Sandy" Cheeks is a character in the series SpongeBob SquarePants and is voiced by Carolyn Lawrence. She is a squirrel native to Texas,[1] and the fact of her being a land animal is often pointed out. She is friends with Patrick, Squidward, and SpongeBob.[2]

[edit] Personality
Sandy is SpongeBob & Patrick's friend. She has a strong knowledge of karate and is SpongeBob's sparring partner.[1] She is also a brilliant scientist who was hired by a group of wealthy chimpanzees who act as the beneficiaries for her scientific inventions, discoveries, and research; apparently they provided the funds for her underwater "Tree Dome".
[edit] Physical Appearance
Sandy is, despite being one of the strongest characters in the show, relatively small. Sandy has a long neck and a large head. Being a squirrel, she is covered entirely with fur. The fur is mostly brown, but there is a patch of light tan fur on her torso. In the episode "Survival of the Idiots," she has a patch of dark tan fur on her chest. Later in the episode, all her fur was shaved off. Possibly because of this, she wears a fur pelt in "Someone's in the Kitchen With Sandy"; although, she has real fur in subsequent episodes. As a "land creature", she must wear a suit and a special helmet to breathe and live underwater. It is sometimes called a "spacesuit". In the first season, Sandy's tail was not visible when she wore her spacesuit. But in the following seasons, Sandy's tail would be shown sticking out of the suit through a small hole in the back. In the episode "Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm", her tail is eaten by an Alaskan bull worm, but she recovers it and ties it back on. Under the space suit and when she is out of the water, she almost always wears a purple and green bikini swimsuit and a short skirt. Her suit has a lever which flushes out any water that's in her helmet. This often happens when she cries.
[edit] Lifestyle
Sandy has a house made of a plastic resistant to water pressure, similar to an Igloo in shape and referred to as the "Tree dome".[1] Within it, there is an ecosystem of plants and trees, creating the normal habitat for a squirrel. Mark plays the stalker of Sandy Cheeks. In the episodes Texas and Survival of The Idiots, it is revealed that she can pull a switch that seals the dome in metal shields to keep people out when she prefers to be alone. The dome is "Water Proof", because Sandy does not breathe underwater, otherwise, she would not exist.
[edit] Romantic Involvement
Despite claims by the show's creators that SpongeBob is "somewhat asexual",[3] several annuals state that SpongeBob holds romantic feelings for Sandy, which could be shown in examples where SpongeBob brings Sandy flowers on occasion. SpongeBob is also shown to compliment Sandy frequently. In the episode "Ripped Pants," SpongeBob becomes jealous when Larry the Lobster tries to take Sandy away to hang out, and in this same episode SpongeBob sings a song dedicated to Sandy from his heart. On November 6, 2009, a one-hour special entitled "Truth or Square" aired to commemorate the series' tenth anniversary, playing this relationship off as a hoax, in which she and SpongeBob were in a play that included a wedding. It is revealed in the Official Annual 2010 book that SpongeBob loves Sandy, through the True or False game that lists "SpongeBob loves Sandy?" as a true question, with the subtitle "Sure he does!".
[edit] Video Games
Sandy appears in many video games such as:
- SpongeBob SquarePants: Operation Krabby Patty

- In the video game spin off SpongeBob SquarePants: Employee of the Month, SpongeBob has a large pinup image of Sandy in her bikini in his personal locker at the Krusty Krab kitchen. He sighs romantically and says "Sandy Cheeks, looking at her makes me smile" when the player/user clicks on the image.[4]
