Susan Strong (character)

Susan Strong first appears in the episode of the same name. Susan Strong lives underground with the other members of the Hyooman tribe, whom she leads in an attack against the Candy Kingdom. At first, she cannot speak much English and is afraid of many things, but Finn and Jake teach her about the ways of Ooo. Susan lives up to her name; she is strong enough to crush boulders with her arms.

Susan returns in the season three episode "Beautopia." She asks for Finn's help to reclaim the Hyoomans' old home, the underground city of Beautopia. Susan, Finn, and Jake use fire to fight off the Lub Glubs, scary monsters that take the form of pool floats, allowing the Hyooman tribe to return to their city. At the end of the episode, Susan allows Finn to feel under her hat, letting Finn know if she is human or not; however, Finn's reaction does not reveal the truth to the viewer.

Appearance
Susan is a female of currently unknown species, but she at least closely resembles a human being like Finn, although she might be a human because at the ending of "Beautopia" she grabs Finn's hand and placed it on her neck, meaning that she might be a human. She is larger, taller, and more physically built than Finn. She wears a ragged dark-indigo dress and a dark-grey hat made to look like a head and body of a cat with long whiskers and tail. Her eyes are green. Also, her skin seems tanner than Finn's skin.

Language
Initially, Susan doesn't speak English like Finn and Jake, but instead speaks the Hyooman language. Throughout the episode "Susan Strong," Finn and Jake teach Susan about objects in the surface world and their English names. By the time they visit the Candy Kingdom, Susan has a decent grasp on the English language and can form simple sentences.

In "Beautopia," her English improves dramatically, and she is able to speak in clear, slow sentences. Some of her speech is still grammatically incorrect, however.
