Tree Trunks (character)

Tree Trunks is an elephant friend of Finn and Jake who speaks with a gentle, Southern drawl. She is first seen in the Adventure Time opening sequence, "Slumber Party Panic", and then "Evicted!", but had very minor appearances. She is later featured in the self-titled episode "Tree Trunks". Tree Trunks lives in a little home in the forest, surrounded by apple trees. In the episode Tree Trunks, she disappeared after taking a bite out of the Crystal Gem Apple, but is then seen skipping happily in a strange, red crystal-like hall. She is a citizen of the Candy Kingdom, who loves picking apples and does it everyday. Finn and Jake apparently care for her.

Personality
Tree Trunks loves to cook, as seen in Slumber Party Panic where she's seen carrying hot buns, and in her self-titled episode, she makes Finn and Jake apple pies. She gets upset when flies sit on her pies and throws them away when this happens. Throughout her titular episode, she constantly places herself in an unnecessary amount of danger due to her naiveté much to Finn's annoyance. She often uses her cuteness to complete tasks by wearing a lot of makeup and seducing her subjects. While riding on Finn's back, Jake says she could ride higher on his back, but Finn stops him, saying she has a weak heart.

Appearance
She is a small old yellow-green elephant with wrinkly skin. She also has a small pink bow tied onto her tail.

Crystal Queen
In Crystals Have Power, Tree Trunks returns with a new evil personality. It is revealed that when she ate the Crystal Gem Apple and exploded, she was actually sent to the crystal dimension, where she became the Crystal Queen, ruler of the Crystal Guardians who are in love with her. The apple also gave her ultimate power, but it overwhelmed her and made her, as Finn would put it, "made her bananas with crystal power". She grew to a bigger size, could fly by flapping her ears, and could shoot crystal beams from her eyes. She had her slaves kidnap Finn after she fell madly in love with him and to transform him into her "sexy crystal king", and Jake tried to stop them using non-violence. When Finn refused to be her king, she tried to kill him and Jake while trying to still convince him. After Jake learned he can hurt anybody that is evil, he kicks the Crystal Gem Apple out of Tree Trunks, and she returns to normal, with Finn becoming normal also. She apologizes and admits her admiration for Finn, and goes back to Ooo with Finn and Jake.

"And here's your sandwich!"

"Even Brain Beasts get lonely, Finn."
