Princess Bubblegum

Princess Bubblegum is an Alicorn who resides in the Candy Kingdom and is one of the main characters of My Adventurous Pony Friendship is Mathamatical. She is the older sister of Princess Gabriella and the love interest of Marsh. Bubblegum works as both a fashion designer/seamstress at her own shop and as a scientist. She represents the element of generosity. Her magic is used for activities related to her special talent and for basic tasks such as holding and carrying items.

Personality
Princess Bubblegum loves (most of) her subjects and has been known to defend them tirelessly when trouble brews. She can show her dedication to her Kingdom when she visits a Candy Orphanage and spends some time cheering up the children.

Princess Bubblegum has a strong sense of morality and participates in politics outside the Candy Kingdom. She is very noble and intelligent, perhaps the most intelligent person in the Land of Ooo.

Princess Bubblegum is a highly cultured and educated ruler with an undying passion for science. She once attempts to revive the dead Candy People, accidentally creating a horde of zombie Candy People instead. In her dedication, she sometimes drives herself to exhaustion.

Though ordinarily sweet and good-natured, Princess Bubblegum shows a malicious aspect of her personality whenever she is crossed, as toward the Duke of Nuts for eating all of the royal pudding and supposedly ruining her appearance. Even with her kind disposition, her moral code is not as strict as Finn's. She sometimes says morbid or inappropriate things. Many darker things are briefly shown in several episodes such as skeletons cuffed to the walls in hidden chambers.

Also, she displays a non-hesitant willingness to torture Ice King after he infects the Candy Kingdom with a Freezer Burn flu (in an attempt to woo the Princess) and refuses to assist her in curing them by screaming voluntarily. However, in this case, she does understand what she was attempting to do was wrong, and cries in stress and guilt when Finn exposes this. She once randomly cutting the limbs off of tiny round creatures with scissors and reattaching them in different places when Finn sneaks in, although the creatures show no pain and seem perfectly happy to be reconfigured.

When she is 13 years old, she exhibits a playful attitude and a willingness to perform pranks with Finn. Just before Princess Bubblegum is returned to her normal age she mentions that she enjoyed temporarily being 13 because she was free from the responsibilities that came with being ruler of the Candy Kingdom and that she could act like a kid again. In Princess Bubblegum's own words, being thirteen was "bloobalooby," while being 18 was "plop-dumps and waggle-sags."

Princess Bubblegum acts noticeably more childlike when she is not in her role as the princess. She dresses and talks more casually when she isn't busy with her work. As a princess, she is prim, poised, and straight-laced, but is quite capable of loosening up and dressing/acting like a regular teenager with her friends.

She regularly organizes and attends events and showpieces such as scientific conferences, parties, and talent shows.

Princess Bubblegum is afraid of her own mortality, and since then, she has been more of a "mysterious" character. She worries what would become of the Candy Kingdom should she die. She considers the possibility of living forever is not scientifically possible yet so she creates an heir in the form of Goliad.

Princess Bubblegum is also very confident in herself and science, as shown when Lady Rainicorn is discussing the dangers. Princess Bubblegum believes that she cannot lose as long as she has science on her side which leads her to express an open disdain for magic, labeling it as "Science presented like mystical hoodoo;" despite frequent instances of magic actually existing in the land of Ooo and her own use of it; causing her to openly mock and belittle those who believe and practice it. Jesse Moynihan suggested that science is what she identies magic as, and while there are magical instances, ones which she may even label as magic, she believes they have scientific roots.

She is shown to be a rational thinker, where she once revealed she had Flame King lock Flame Princess away so her elemental matrix wouldn't cause the world to be destroyed. Her being rational and science minded has shown Princess Bubblegum as condescending or insensitive. She refused to apologize to the wizarding community and called them ignorant when she was caught as she believes all magic is science. She also feels that looking for a toy was silly.

Skills
Aside from her scientific prowess, she has many abilities and talents. She has spoken German and is capable of understanding Lady Rainicorn, who speaks Korean, suggesting she knows the language. She can manage to successfully play BMO as a high-tech instrument, and has combined her scientific abilities with her musical talents at her concert. There is a possibility she may be a good whistler as she was shown practicing for a Whistling Choir Death Match Championship, even though in the scene where you saw and heard her practicing her whistling was no more than unimpressive and off-tune.

Princess Bubblegum's scientific aptitude is shown where she concocts a potion to reanimate dead Candy People and when she creates the "most perfect sandwich" that has ever existed. She also created Lemongrab, Goliad, Stormo and Lemongrab 2.

She shows her capabilities in fighting when she fought in hand-to-hand combat with Ricardio. She also demonstrated her strength when she carried an injured Lady Rainicorn, as well as healing and rescuing Finn, Jake, and the Ice King when she brought them to the Candy Kingdom.

Her crown and matching earrings are capable of blocking the wearer's mind from the Lich's influence. The gem of power is also used for the Enchiridion (book).

Curiously, Princess Bubblegum seems to age differently than other candy people seen in the show. In a flashback visiting an orphanage for candy children. She appears to be the same age as she is now, while Baby Snaps (one of the orphans) had physically aged since then. Also, in some promo art Flame Princess appears to be very young, about 5 years old, while Princess Bubblegum is standing next to her lamp but still has the same appearance of being 18. It seems that more candy biomass given or taken away can change her age.

She is observant as she looked at her environment to figure out where to go and where Maja most likely hidden Hambo.

Cutie Mark
Bubblegum states she was abandoned in a valley. The flashback about her cutie mark starts in a lab where a filly Princess Bubblegum is trying to make her first formula, but has no sucess. She begins being more observant and finally realizes her mistake. She completes for formula and earns her cutie mark.

Parents
Cotton Candy Queen is Princess Bubblegum's adoptive mother. She made the Candy Kingdom which first started out as a small village. It eventually grew out to the big kingdom it is now. She found Bonnibel somewhere in a cold area in the an alley. She called Bonniebel her child and raised her to be the ruler she is now. She currently travels around the world, seeing all the beautiful places in the world aside from Ooo, which is actually a normal continent compared to the other ones. No one knows what happened to bubblegum's real parents.

Princess Gabriella
Bubblegum and her little sister Princess Gabriella were two regal sisters who ruled together and created harmony for all the Candy Kingdom.

Her bitterness transformed her into a "wicked mare of darkness," Nightmare Sky. The elder sister reluctantly harnessed the power of the Elements of Harmony and banished her "in" the moon for 1,000 years, maintaining harmony.

Marsh
Marsh has a crush on Bubblegum which she accepts, and she is very fond of him. Their relationship has developed to become stronger with the passage of time. Marsh calls PB "beautiful" when he first meets her. He admits to having a crush on Bubblegum and is seen wearing a shirt that has a picture of Bubblegum superimposed on a heart. He once was seen taking out the rubbish for PB and Marsh addresses her as "most beautiful one".Marsh generously gives Bubblegum a fire ruby that she covets. In gratitude, she kisses him on the cheek, and calls him "Marshy-Warshy". During Marsh's birthday party, they affectionately rub their cheeks at each other. When Marsha later grows into a monster, he abducts PB. However, PB does not realize it is Marsh until she tells the story behind the jewel and Marsh's generosity, causing Marsh to remember the moment when he gave her the ruby and she kissed him. This memory returns Marsh to his normal size. As the two start falling, Marsh is on the verge of confessing his feelings for her, but PB simply covers his mouth with her hoof and gives a teary smile and Marsh smiles back. After they are rescued, PB calls Marsh her hero for stopping himself from destroying the town and kisses him on the cheek again. A picture frame that Marsh had put around the kiss mark on his cheek is shown at the end of the episode.
