Sandy Cheeks is a very smart, talented and athletic squirrel born in the state of Texas, who moved to Bikini Bottom in the Pacific Ocean because her job is experimenting with other female squirrels underwater. She is also an inventor and loves science very much. She's one of the seven main characters in the show, although she isn't featured quite as much as other characters such as SpongeBob, Patrick, or Squidward (she only made 6 appearances in season 3, but has been featured more in other seasons).

Character Description
Sandy comes from the state of {{|Texas}}, and speaks in a strong southern accent with a lot of southern slang. She is very fond of her homeland and its culture, as most notably seen in the episode "Texas", in which she grows homesick for it. In that same episode, she becomes furious at SpongeBob and Patrick's bad remarks about Texas, and violently attacks them when they continue to insult it.
Sandy is one of the most intelligent and level-headed characters on the show. She is a multi-talented scientist and inventor, and originally came to Bikini Bottom to study sea creatures and their lifestyles. In "Chimps Ahoy", it is revealed that she is employed by a trio of monkeys from the surface, named Dr. Marmalade, Lord Reginald and Professor Percy. They exhibit upper-class English accents and manners, and periodically visit Bikini Bottom to audit her scientific research. As an inventor, Sandy is capable of creating extremely advanced devices with ease. Her inventions include a manned space ship, a teleporter, a submarine that can shrink to microscopic size and go inside a person's body, and even a cloning device.
Biography
She lives in an air-filled habitat structure called the Treedome (a polyurethane dome containing a tree, living quarters and various other land plants). When outside of the Treedome, Sandy wears an air-filled suit and helmet that looks much like an astronaut's space suit;under it,and while in her Treedome, she wears a purple bikini with green frills in the bottom section.In Someones In the Kitchen with Sandy,she wears a bra and panties under her fur,which seems unnecessary. According to the same episode, she showers in them. In Overbooked she wore a dress. In truth or square she wore a wedding dress. She has also been seen in a nightgown.She wore hair curlers in Sleepy Time. Physically, Sandy is one of the strongest creatures (along with Larry the Lobster) in Bikini Bottom. She claims to be stronger than Larry and can even pull down gigantic ships and boats from the surface of the ocean as seen in "Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm". Sandy hibernates during the winter.
In Survival of the Idiots Spongebob and Patrick pulled of Sandy's fur in many small portions but it came off in one piece in Someones in the Kitchen With Sandy.
In "Chimps Ahoy", she is visited in Bikini Bottom by her patrons, a group of air-breathing monkeys by the names of: Dr. Marmalade, Lord Reginald and Professor Percy from the surface (with upper-class English accents and manners) who periodically stop by to audit her scientific research.
SpongeBob sometimes becomes jealous of the attention Sandy gives to other friends and once wrote a song (notably in the episode 'Ripped Pants') about how he "lost his girl" and "someone stole his girl" because of his ripped pants; also, early in the series, Spongebob takes great pains to impress Sandy and possibly considers their special get-togethers in Sandy's bubble dates.
It is revealed that Sandy has a really giant monster form.In Suvival of the Idiots Sandy changed into a very huge, muscular, monstrous squirrel. She mistook Spongebob as Pinhead Larry and Patrick as Dirty Dan.One of Sandy's male relatives appeared in Stanley S. SquarePants (Episode). Sandy Cheeks is actually revealed to have a scottish relative, but Sandy was born in America.
If SpongeBob has any, Sandy would be considered his love interest.
Interests
Sandy loves karate.Sandy also plays guitar (more like a 3 stringed ukelele). She played a "guitar" in Band Geeksand Atlantis Squarepantis. Sandy loves science. Some of her inventions include a teleporter, a nut communication device and a thing that can transport food to the stomach. Also, in Ditchin, she was an expert at playing badminton, and together with her partner, Dale, they were an unstoppable team, until SpongeBob and Patrick beat them at their own game. Her favorite foods are Haycorns, Krabby Patties, Volcano/Hot sauce, BarnacleLoaf Sandwiches with Mustard, (Seen in Karate Choppers) and Pasta (Seen in Atlantis SquarePantis) . She loves Free-falling from 114,000 feet and to land on a target (Seen in Sleepy Time) She signed up for the Anchor Toss Competition in MuscleBob BuffPants and wanted SpongeBob to sign up too.
Friends
Sandy became one of SpongeBob's best friends after saving him from a giant clam (The clam first tried to eat Sandy, but almost ate SpongeBob after he tried to save her), and she enjoys various activities with him (including karate). Sandy is also a friend to Patrick, although it is shown she can be very annoyed with him, although the two are still pretty good friends. She is also believed to be friends with Larry - SpongeBob is sometimes jealous and sometimes thinks Sandy likes Larry better than him.
The nature of Sandy's relationship with SpongeBob is somewhat ambiguous. SpongeBob has brought her flowers on several occasions, and her official biography describes her as being "the apple of SpongeBob's eye (the only thing under the sea he likes better than his job at the Krusty Krab)". In Tea at the Treedome amorous music plays when SpongeBob recalls Sandy's words.Spongebob often tries to impress her.Sandy has on occasion flirted with Spongebob herself, and gets upset when she thinks he is in danger. Once in a clip from Random Acts of SpongeBob SpongeBob dropped Sandy a letter (with a bouquet of flowers) that called her the "smartest, prettiest squirrel in all of Bikini Bottom". It was on the Surprise Sandy Day. In Truth or Square,Sandy and SpongeBob got married, but it ended up being a play(or,real,but everyone thought it was a play).
Also, a book called the SpongeBob SquarePants Survival Guide has information that suggests SpongeBob has a crush on Sandy on the page entitled How to survive a secret crush. It says that if you have a crush on someone, you have to keep it secret. SpongeBob then babbles on about him acting perfectly natural at the treedome. The chapter then ends after SpongeBob says, "I've said too much!" The book was released on November 1, 2002.
Jailtime
In Someone's in the Kitchen with Sandy, Sandy was arrested for public "nudity".However, she was wearing underwear.
Inventions made
Teleporter - Enables anything, living or non-living, to be transported to any location. This invention was seen in "SquidBob TentaclePants" and went horribly wrong.
Molecular Seperator Ray - Separates the molecules of something (like the fused SpongeBob and Squidward), and in the episode "SquidBob TentaclePants" separates SpongeBob and Squidward, but then Squidward makes it combine all the surrounding creatures, including SpongeBob, Squidward, Patrick, Pearl, etc which was a big issue!
Nut Communicator - Allows communication to a nut. SpongeBob used it in "Chimps Ahoy" and the nut said "It's dark in here." when it was speaking to SpongeBob
Nutticino Machine - Makes "Nuttacinos" out of any nut of your choosing. Sandy demonstrates it with the nut SpongeBob communicated with, and with still having the Nut Communicator on, SpongeBob heard it die.The bugle call "Taps" played in the background. Also seen in the episode "Chimps Ahoy".
Robot Nutcracker - A robot built to crack nuts. However, it can't do so, but it can peel bananas for the chimps.
Rocket - The complex rocket Sandy built to travel to the Moon in the episode "Sandy's Rocket". SpongeBob and Patrick went inside it.
Submarine - The subarmine Sandy shrunk to microscopic size in the episode "Squidtastic Voyage". It is very high tech.
Robot- Sandy's favorite invention from the episode What Ever Happened To SpongeBob?. It played with her until SpongeBob came and tripped and shot at it with water causing Sandy to call SB "Idiot Boy!" from anger.
The Knock-Out Ray - A spy gadget that knocks out things. She wouldn't let SpongeBob and Patrick use the other Spy Gadgets, so Patrick used it on her so he and SpongeBob could use the other gadgets on Plankton in Spy Buddies.
