Personality
Sandy is SpongeBob & Patrick's friend. She has a strong knowledge of karate and is SpongeBob's sparring partner. She is also a brilliant scientist who was hired by a group of wealthy chimpanzees whom act as the beneficiaries for her scientific inventions, discoveries, and research; apparently they provided the funds for her underwater "Tree Dome".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.Lifestyle

Romantic Involvement
Despite claims by the show's creators that SpongeBob is "somewhat asexual", 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!".Video Games
