Sandy Cheeks

"Sandy Cheeks. She's no ordinary squirrel... because she lives underwater, yet she's got a underwater suit, and an oxygen-filled dome-shaped house of her own. Not to mention, she's the high-ridin'est, rootin'-tootin'-est Texan girl who is good at science, karate... or should I say kah-rah-tay, rodeo, and most importantly of all, extreme sports. Now she's with SpongeBob and Patrick as they fight against the Redcoats and the Chinese."
