A show like Adventure Time wouldn't be right without a character like Princess Bubblegum in the mix. She can be bossy and she can be a know-it-all but for the most part, she is one of the most likable fictional characters ever. She knows how to be a leader and her position as the royal princess over her candy kingdom makes all the sense in the world to avid viewers of the show.

No one else would be able to take control and maintain the wellbeing of so many candy people the way she does. She prioritizes her relationships and friendships with characters like Marceline the Vampire Queen, Lumpy Space Princess, Finn, and Jake in every episode. There is a lot to learn about Princess Bubblegum including how she communicates with her pet unicorn and so much more!
