Angela's best friend, Gina Lash, is the smartest child in her grade. Possessing encyclopedic knowledge and an impressive vocabulary, Gina routinely dispenses reason and insight to her friends—although she will participate in whatever crazy scheme her friends are cooking up. Gina shares many interests with her friends, but her thirst for knowledge has led her to pursue a variety of other hobbies; she owns a microscope and other scientific paraphernalia. Gina is best known for her appetite, which rivals that of any adult. She is always hungry and can even fall prey to Nanette Manoir if she is bribed with her gourmet chef's cooking. Gina’s favorite foods include Abatti's Pizza, cinnamon swirls and Tastee Swirl ice cream. Gina worships the mascot for Tastee Swirl, a man with a whipped ice cream head who dispenses ice creams from his truck, and Tiny Dottie Cake. Despite being rather overweight, Gina does not let jibes about her appearance affect her, remaining happy and confident. Gina lives with her mother, who is single (until she begins dating a rather buff co-worker.) Her father is never mentioned on the show. Gina also owns a pet turtle called Sheldon who eats a lot of carrots.
That...um...fits me way too well. Furthermore, guess who has a huge crush on her? Yes. Gordy.
Gordy is a sensitive and effeminate boy with asthma who prefers pressing flowers, housework and writing poetry to "dangerous" activities like tag or hide and seek. Gordy, who wears large, square spectacles, is skinny and physically weak; the complete opposite of his burly ex-Army dad Coach Reinhardt. Despite being so unalike, their father/son relationship is very strong and they show genuine love and concern for one another. The Coach enjoys the strawberry souffles, hand-embroidered towels and pillow cases Gordy makes in his free time. Gordy loves animals and is the proud owner of an immaculately groomed dog called Fabio. He is an expert on pet care and worries about the welfare of any animal entrusted to Angela. Gordy spent almost an entire episode wearing rubber gloves and a face mask, refusing to leave his house, after looking at an eyelash under a microscope. In spite of Gordy's outward appearance and mannerisms, he is deeply in love with Gina Lash, but his love is never returned.
Awww. Cuteness. I'd probably get exasperated with him, though. Quelle surprise. This lady needs a Gordy with a dominant streak--a splash of dominance and fun and excitement. This is why I'm a switch in every sense of the word, man. I need both sides of the coin. Obviously I'm more dominant than submissive, but I prefer to not ALWAYS be dominant, y'know? I could see relationships where I was fully "one role" working out if I were poly, but if I were monogamous, the only way I'd be properly fulfilled is if I were involved with someone switchy leaning toward the sub side and/or a feisty sub. Otherwise...I think I'd be bored.
And did you SEE that library she got by shacking up with Beast? Holy balls. I'd give anything for one like that!

Blossom (voiced by Cathy Cavadini) is "the smart one" and self-proclaimed leader of the Powerpuff Girls. Her signature color is pink, and she has long orange hair with a red bow. She was named for having spoken freely and honestly to the Professor shortly after her creation. She is often seen as the most mature, level-headed and composed member of the group, although she can also be fussy, overbearing, vain, and overly analytical at times. She tends to "parent" Bubbles and Buttercup, and often tries to play peacemaker between the two if they fight (though she is very quick to argue with Buttercup). In the episode "Ice Sore," she showed the ability to blow ice, and at the end, blow fire. However, even though Blossom said her ice breath was "all used up", she has been seen using it frequently in later episodes.
Seriously. Think of Sara and Lyndsey and me as The Powerpuff Girls (Buttercup, Bubbles, and Blossom respectively). It's uncanny how accurate it all is.
