Princess Bonnibel "Bonnie" Bubblegum of the Candy Kingdom (also known as: PB; Peebles; P-Bubs; Bonnie),[4] is a fictional character in the American animated Cartoon Network television series Adventure Time, created by Pendleton Ward. She is voiced by Hynden Walch.
Princess Bubblegum is the current incarnation of the Candy Elemental. She is the ruler to the inhabitants of the Candy Kingdom, who are all composed of types of desserts and candies.
Princess Bubblegum is fluent in German and Korean, using the latter language to communicate with her friend Lady Rainicorn.
Princess Bubblegum rules over the Candy Kingdom, but in the Season 6 episode "Hot Diggity Doom" (the first part of the season's finale), an election was held and she lost to the King of Ooo by a landslide.
As a result, she no longer ruled the Candy Kingdom and the King of Ooo replaced her as the new ruler, until a rebellion against King of Ooo allowed her to reclaim the throne in "The Dark Cloud".
In an interview, Olivia Olson (who voices Marceline) stated that Marceline and Bubblegum are ex-girlfriends.[5] In the series finale "Come Along with Me", Marceline and Bubblegum share their first onscreen kiss, confirming mutual romantic feelings between them and become girlfriends.[6]
In August 2014, Marceline's voice actress Olivia Olson told a crowd of fans that Marceline and Princess Bubblegum had dated in the past, but that because the series airs in countries where homosexual relationships are illegal, the relationship is not clearly shown in the show.[7][8]
