Character Bio
A blue skunk with a white arrow marking on her forehead, which is connected to the triangle shaped marking on her back and white lines on her long tail who always wears a pink flower on top of her head and a pine scent car air freshener or deodorizer around her neck to cover up her skunk smell (even though it says on the website that she bathes many times a day). Many fans regarded her as slightly older than Giggles on the internet episodes. She likes to play with doll strollers with her dolls and making tea parties. While Giggles is childlike, Petunia acts more mature for her age.

Petunia is often seen in the series with Giggles. They appear to be best friends and they run a lemonade stand together. In the Internet series, they were almost identical in personality. However, whilst Giggles has appeared and died more in the series than Petunia, Petunia's deaths are the most gruesome in the series (such as having her face on a burger grill by Flippy, being flattened by Cro-Marmot and bed springs ripping out her organs). Many fans refer to her as one of the most unfortunate characters because of this. Like Giggles, her head is usually involved in her deaths. Petunia is also the only main character of the series who has not directly caused the death of any of the other characters so far.

The creators have given her an obsessive compulsive disorder. More specifically, she is a "neat freak". She takes showers five times a day as it reveals in the "Collect Them All" section, and if things are either dirty, or out of their proper place, she starts to hyperventilate. She will do anything to clean it up again. In the T.V. episode "Wishy Washy" she got incredibly filthy and was unable to clean herself, so she went crazy (her face almost looked like Flippy's) and killed herself with a potato peeler, trying to get clean. This was to separate her personality further from Giggles, but they are still best friends.

Petunia, like Giggles, has been used as damsel in distress on some episodes, which is evident in "Gems the Breaks," "Who's the Flame," "Dunce Upon a Time", "Read 'em and Weep", and "House Warming."

Her name and species are somewhat a parody of the character Flower from the Disney movie, Bambi.

Whenever Petunia has too much to drink, she'll have to go to the bathroom really badly, as seen in "Happy Trails" and "Wingin' It". (In "Happy Trails", she culminates in wetting herself just before her death) It could be that she has a bladder problem.

She's also a Girl Scout just like Giggles as seen in "Read 'em and Weep". Also petunia has the record of being a victim of most episodes she is in.
