Spongebob Squarepants was born on July the 14th 1986 but never gets mature and just acts like a kid in all the episodes. He is the main character and was designed by a marine biologist animator and is voiced by Tom Kenny. He is an eccentric, childish, joyful yellow sea sponge that lives in a pineapple in the underwater city of Bikini bottom. He works as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab, which is a job he loves and works good at. He lacks a lot of knowledge and annoys most of the people around him especially Squidward Tentacles, but he is very kind and good natured. Spongebob is meant to look like a kitchen spongebob because the artists said that a coral didn't look as good. Spongebob was also named spongebob because they thought of naming him "Spongeboy" but the name was already taken, so after a while they decided to name him the name he has today. He is clueless,innocent, carefree, immature, fun loving, and hyperactive character with a happy-go-lucky personality. He is selfless and a loyal person, especially to his closest friends. His selfless nature is best shown in "best day ever" when he sacrifices the perfect day to help his friends. Spongebob often annoys squidward even though he never means it! Spongebob is a great character overall. Are you ready to go nautical adventures with him
Patrick Star is spongebob's best friend. THEY DO EVERYTHING TOGETHER! He's not very smart but he's very nice. Patrick is a pink starfish who lives under a rock. He is the second most important character in the show. All his furniture and everything in his house under a rock is made of sand. He's neighbours with Squidward and Spongebob and spongebob and him enjoy disturbing and annoying Squidward. Patrick has had the third most appearances in episodes behind Squidward. He is a not-smart, nice, lazy, overweight, childish and doesn't have a nose. In the episode "No nose knows" he gets a nose and realised that he can't stand the smell of bad odours. Patrick has had some appearances where he displayed a lot of knowledge. In one episode, Squidward asks Patrick "Just how dumb are you" and Patrick replayed "it varies." Patrick is one confusing character!
Eugene H. Krabs, better known as Mr Krabs was born on November 30th, 1942. He is the owner of the krusty krab and the boss of Spongebob and Squidward. He is EXTREMELY greedy, selfish and OBSESSED with money. He will freak out if something happens to money even if it is a nickel (5 cents)! He treats money as royalty and doesn't like to spend any of it. For his adopted whale daughter, he got her a cake that was just cardboard that looked like cake because he didn't want to spend money. Mr. Krabs is most respected by Spongebob, he doesn't even pay spongebob for being his fry cook because Spongebob just does it fun and doesn't care. Squidward hates him though. Mr. Krabs will do anything for money and often never cares about his safety or anyone else's well being to obtain it or save it. Mr Krabs is enemies with Plankton because he keeps on trying to steal the krabby patty secret formula, although they were best friends in their childhood (shown in the episode "friend or foe"). He also tricks spongebob into doing things a lot of the time.
Squidward Tentacles is one of the main characters in the show. He is the neighbour between Spongebob and Patrick and often gets annoyed by them. He is an octopus despite of his name and his 6 legs because the producers have said that making him have 8 legs would be too hard to animate. He lives in a house shaped like one of the heads from the Easter Island. He works at the krusty krab as a cashier and absolutely hates it. He often tries to get fired but he always has to come back because of of financial problems. He often acts like he is superior to everyone else and thinks quite high of himself. He has over 500 paintings of himself his art room, which is also where he plays his clarinet. Squidward thinks that he plays the clarinet and knows more about art than anyone else but everyone knows that he plays the clarinet horribly. He used to always be happy but he got grumpy ever since he was gardening and then a pineapple fell out of the sky and fell on top of his garden. Squidward's personality is grumpy, hot- tempered, selfish and miserable.
Sandy cheeks is a smart squirrel that comes from Texas. She wears a glass dome over her head because she is not a sea creature and can't breathe water in her body. In the show, Sandy is the only notable female character. She has a good knowledge of karate and science and shows some awesome skills of girl power! Originally she came to bikini bottom to research sea creatures and now she lives there in a glass dome where there is no water. In the episode "Chimps ahoy" it reveals that she was actually employed by three monkeys called Professor Percy, Dr Marmalade and Lord Reginald. Sandy is also athletic and fit. Spongebob and her both share the favourite hobby of karate. They often fight each other for fun. Sandy also enjoys thrill seeking and extreme sports. In the episode "Prehibernation week" she shows awesome skills of strength and could ultimately be the strongest person in the whole show. She even tried to find a hay in the needle stack! She is an example of awesome girl power!
Gary, is Spongebob's pet snail and believe it or not, he is also Patrick's cousin! In the episode "Rule of dumb" their family tree was shown and it was shown that Gary and Patrick are first cousins. Gary can usually only say "meow," which indicates thats snails are the sea equivalent of cats and worms are the equivalent or dogs because they only bark. In some of the episodes it shows that Gary is smarter than all the main characters (not including plankton). In the episode "Sleepy Time," spongebob went to all his friend's dreams and in Gary's dream, Gary was in a library and was talking with sophisticated language. The library may be a metaphor for intelligence. The episode "treats" reveals that he was adopted and the episode "Gary takes a bath" it is shown that Gary can levitate and do other special things. Maybe it just runs in the family because Patrick sometimes reveals his special powers as well. Gary is a very good musician and can play any instrument very well. In "The paper," he lays the clarinet really good that confused Squidward a lot. He can also play the violin and the trumpet verry well, as shown in "Procrastination" and in "Something smells."
Sheldon J. PLankton, most commonly known as Plankton was born on November 30, 1942. He owns a restaurant that is struggling with having customers called the "Chum bucket" and is located opposite the Krusty Krab.

In Mr. Krabs and his childhood, they were best friends but a dispute over the krabby patty formula obliterated it because now they are sworn enemies. Plankton, as his name suggests is a small green plankton and can fit in the palm of anyone's hand. Plankton and mr krabs used to be victims of poverty and were nerdy. They realised that the only way they could get popular was to make money. So they decided to make a burger business but it didn't work out. Later when Plankton became an adult, he married a computer called Karen. Plankton is jealous, devious, hopeful, and desperate to get the krabby patty formula.
