Princess Bubblegum

Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum (or PB) is a main character in the Animated Short, as well as in the series Adventure Time. She is the benevolent ruler of the Candy Kingdom and the main love interest for Finn. Her first name is Bonnibel.

Appearance
Princess Bubblegum dresses as a traditional princess in a flowing, pink gown with and a gold tiara with a turquoise stone at the top. Her skin and hair are shades of pink, and her hair is made of bubblegum, as she is a hybrid of human DNA and bubblegum. A scientist at heart, Princess Bubblegum is seen wearing a white labcoat and goggles when she is performing experiments or solving equations. Princess Bubblegum has fifteen outfits, and according to Natasha Allegri's formspring, she will have more outfits during season 3. These outfits range in color and style from an orange T-shirt and white shorts to a fluffy powder blue dress and pink cardigan. In the most recent episode she became 13 years old She now has hair that falls to her shoulders and curls up. She also wears a small pink dress with a bow around the waist and is shorter than Finn.

Personality
Princess Bubblegum is a kind-hearted person. She seems to love all of her subjects unconditionally, and is known to protect them ceaselessly when trouble brews. Even beyond her own domain, Princess Bubblegum possesses a strong sense of morality and participates in politics outside of the Candy Kingdom. Princess Bubblegum is a very cultured and educated ruler and has an undying passion for science. Though usually sweet and good-natured, Princess Bubblegum has a malicious aspect of her personality that is shown whenever she is crossed, seen especially when she believed the Duke of Nuts ruined her appearance.

Finn
Princess Bubblegum acts as Finn's love interest. Though seemingly unaware of his love, Princess Bubblegum cites the hero as a great friend and will never hesitate to call on him for aid in royal matters. Finn and Princess Bubblegum share the same moralistic nature, and often work together to right any wrongs in the Land of Ooo. The princess sees Finn as her "flawless champion," and invests a lot of respect and faith in the young boy. In "To Cut a Woman's Hair," she said, without doubt, that she likes Finn, although it can just mean she likes him as a friend. Princess Bubblegum never gets mad at Finn, even though, in retrospect, Finn has done a lot of really bad things to her, such as when he made all of her hair fall out and her skin turn green in "The Duke," or when he lies to her about his tart-toting plan in "The Other Tarts," along with various other things he's done. In "The Real You," she gives Finn a kiss on the cheek for saving the Candy Kingdom from the black hole he created. However, In "Go With Me," she exiles him from the Candy Kingdom after he releases a pack of wolves into her room. Then again, it was just temporarily, and he must have apologized and explained why, after the events of said episode. After Mortal Recoil Princess Bubblegum becomes 13 years old, Finn comments that that's how old he is and blushes as the new younger princess bubblegum gives him a hug.

Jake
Princess Bubblegum knows that when you call Finn, getting used to Jake is a part of the deal. Though they're good friends, sometimes Jake rejects telling the truth like in "The Duke" when they turned her green. Jake also intends to need to know all of the secrets Finn and her share as in "Slumber Party Panic".

Lumpy Space Princess
Lumpy Space Princess is arguably one of Princess Bubblegum's best friends. Despite their drastically different personalities, the two are often together and L.S.P. is a frequent visitor to the candy Kingdom during many of its parties and ceremonies.

Lady Rainicorn
Lady Rainicorn is Princess Bubblegum's companion and provides transportation when needed like when her people became frozen in "What Have You Done?". Also in "Video Makers",she is seen talking to her before Finn serves the drinks, meaning that she may be able to speak Korean

Duke of Nuts
Princess Bubblegum has an outright hatred for the Duke of Nuts. Though this is all explained to be a relationship between the two in "The Duke," Princess Bubblegum still loathes the Duke and does trust him because he eats all the royal pudding whenever he is there.

Marceline
In the original pitch documents, Princess Bubblegum and Marceline are shown to be friends and rivals. Though having been in the same place at the same time in several occasions, their relationship with one another wasn't fully disclosed until Go With Me where we see Marceline trying to be civil towards Bubblegum while the princess shows rather displeasure in being around her. Bubblegum's perspective makes her see Marceline as wild to the point of corrupting Finn into being kicked out of her kingdom, showing that she tries to minimize contact with her as best as possible.

Ice King
As the main princess in the series, the Ice King particularly has targeted her time and again believing her to be the princess he wants to have for himself. Bubblegum takes great annoyance with the Ice King's actions but generally seems to put up with it mostly due to having Finn around to rescue her whenever he targets her. One of the few times that Bubblegum showed particular anger towards the Ice King was in "What Have You Done?", mostly due to the Ice King's attempt at a kind gesture to make it snow ends up making nearly the entire kingdom sick, forcing her to make Finn and Jake capture him at all costs even without telling them why she wants him imprisoned. In Mortal Folly Princess bubblegum probably grew even more against the Ice King since he basically killed her.

Biography
Princess Bubblegum is the beloved ruler of the Candy Kingdom. Though not much is said about her past, it is known that many of her relatives are famous (suggested in the episode "Susan Strong"). It was when the Ice King first kidnapped her that she met Finn and Jake. It is implied that Finn has saved Princess Bubblegum's life many times after that (and vice versa as seen in the episode "Dungeon" ). It also seems that she has had previous run-ins with Marceline, the Vampire Queen (possibly from childhood). She spends most of her time in Ooo sending Finn and Jake on different quests that generally vary in difficulty. In the first part of season two's two-part finale, "Mortal Folly," she sends Finn and Jake on a quest to stop the evil Lich King from killing everyone in Ooo. She gives Finn "the Hero's Gauntlet" (which may have belonged to Billy at one point) as the weapon necessary to destroy him once and for all. The first part ends with the Ice King, who decides to capture her until Finn and Jake give him their blessing to marry her, accidently dropping the Princess into a firey, green pit. She is soon melted into a pile of pink-brown goo. The second part of the two-part finale, "Mortal Recoil," opens with Finn, Jake, Ice King, Candy people, and other Princesses go with her as she is rushed off to the hosipital. It is soon revealed that the spirit of the Lich posessed the princess earlier and The Lich eventally warps her into an eldritch abomination that nearly tears apart the Candy Kingdom. Finn realizes that his 'like like' of the Princess might not be enough to save her and the Kingdom, so he enlists the power of the Ice King to immobilize her. Unfortunately, the frozen Princess topples over and smashes to pieces. The doctors reassemble her but lack all the necessary pieces, reducing her age to 13; the same age as Finn. The Ice King does not have intrest in the Princess as she too young for him.
