Carrie Krueger

Carrie Krueger is a supporting character in The Amazing World of Gumball. She is a depressed ghost who is in Miss Simian's class at Elmore Junior High. Her first appearance was a cameo in "The Third" and her first major appearence in "The Ghost."

Appearance
Carrie is a white, translucent ghost with a bow that seems to be a skull with wings. Her arms rest in front of her body, and her hair covers her left eye. She also has a magenta and cyan lining around her, making her seem 3D. When her teeth are visible, they are shown to be sharp and pointed. She normally has black eyebrows.

Personality
Carrie is a stereotypical "emo" who enjoys being miserable (although she considered and once referred to herself as a 'punk rock chick' in "The Pony"). Unlike most emo kids, who usually only hang out with other emos, Carrie is a social floater who will talk to anyone, possibly because Elmore Junior High lacks other emos. She regularly interacts with the other girls and usually participates in Gumball and the rest of the class' antics.

In "The Ghost", she states pain is the only emotion she can feel. Despite this, she has shown other emotions and has been seen smiling on occasion. In Halloween, Carrie blushes when Darwin kisses her, a sign of feeling love. She is capable of compassion, as she seemed genuinely concerned for Gumball and Darwin's safety in "Halloween". At the end of the episode, she was visibly upset when she thought they had been trapped in the underworld.

In "The Pony", a softer side of her was shown when she saw A Pony's Tail by mistake and admitted that she found it touching.

Trivia
