Appearance[]
Nurse Pound Cake is a square piece of pound cake, hence her name. She is also lightly colored on all sides, indicating she has no crust. She wears one-piece pink scrubs and a white nurse's cap with a red cross on it. Nurse Pound Cake is also fairly short, and appears to be missing a few of her front teeth.
Personality and traits[]
Nurse Pound Cake is a capable health care provider who works closely with prominent professionals, such as Princess Bubblegum and Doctor Princess, and is most often seen working in clinics within the Candy Kingdom. She is intelligent and an active reader, having spent a significant portion of her teen years in a cave studying medicine. In addition, she was able to find a cure for her "Crab Hand" condition while living in isolation.
Despite her profession, Nurse Pound Cake is a believer of magic and otherworldly phenomena. In "Wizards Only, Fools", she is reluctant to give medical treatment to Starchy due to her patient's own belief in magic. When Princess Bubblegum makes fun of spells, she and Starchy both break out into tears. The Nurse Pound Cake's belief in magic is likely due to her positive experience with her uncle's service as a magic worker. In "Nemesis", she is revealed to be a member of a secret society called the Veritas Brigade. While in a meeting, she reports sightings of a shadowy figure around Princess Bubblegum's tower, stating that it may be otherworldly.
Nurse Pound Cake appears to have a history of relationship troubles. In "The Diary", Jake's son T.V. discovers her teenage diary, which chronicles her angst about her romance with Justin Rockcandy. Eventually, their relationship is ruined after she develops "Crab Hand." This prompts her to ride out her teen years in a cave. At some point in her future, she was either married or is still married, though she suffered some sadness over this that was cured by her uncle, a magic worker, as revealed in "Wizards Only, Fools".
