Candace

Candace Gertrude Flynn is the in her late twenties sister of Phineas Flynn and the step-sister of Ferb Fletcher. The eldest child of the Flynn-Fletcher household, she spends large portions of her time striving, but never succeeding to get her brothers in trouble for the things they do every day.

A more successful venture that sometimes clashes with or overrides her need to bust her brothers, is her infatuation with Jeremy Johnson. While she isn't doing these, she would often be seen conversing on the phone, or hanging out with Stacy Hirano and less often Jenny Brown, where she usually talks about Jeremy or tries to recruit their help in busting her brothers.

When not trying to bust her brothers, Candace is a typical teenage girl. She enjoys hanging out with her friends and fantasizing over boys, mostly Jeremy ("Raging Bully", "Flop Starz", "Day of the Living Gelatin"). She also strives for popularity and enjoys attention. She once set busting her brothers aside so that she could enjoy her reign as "Queen of the Beach." ("Lawn Gnome Beach Party of Terror")

She loves to sing and dance, having sung many songs over the summer. She's confident enough with her dancing that she went on a televised dancing competition ("Nerdy Dancin'"). In spite of that she once hesitated to sing for a large audience ("Flop Starz"), she's always confident performing near those close to her. ("Boyfriend From 27,000 B.C.", "What Do It Do?")

Candace has sometimes displayed acrophobia. She had developed this fear because she falls out of any tree that she climbs. ("S'Winter", "Bowl-R-Ama Drama", "The Doof Side of the Moon")

For her coming of age, Candace has come to view herself as the only mentally mature person in her family, which is ironic because of her erratic and obsessive behavior that shows numerous times on a regular basis ("Get That Bigfoot Outa My Face!", "Perry Lays an Egg"). Though she sees adulthood as boring, she savors being treated as an adult herself.

Candace possesses an inherent urge to be able to lead and project control over other people. She voices to desire of being left in charge while her parents are away, but is rarely granted such rights. This desire for control is likely the driving force behind her opposition to her brothers' Big Ideas, though this can't be certain.

Candace also isn't always a good listener whenever she's upset and tends to cut people off when they try to say something as such when she became a Fireside Girl to attend the Paisley Sideburns Brothers concert despite Isabella trying to tell her she could just invite her herself. And when she thought Ferb was an alien, she kept cutting Phineas off when she showed him numerous evidence.

Her obsession with busting her brothers also causes her to try and steal evidence from people such as when she stole a disc from Buford that contained a clip show of her brothers' inventions and when she tried to snatch Irving's UPAFDS very rudely.

Perhaps the most notable characteristic trait of Candace is her utter defiance against any antagonizing forces present in her life along with her unrelenting determination to overpower them. Every day she would struggle in vain to bring her brother's various projects under control and expose them to Linda. She has been battered by and endured a depressing failure rate that would have shattered the will of anyone else, yet her efforts in trying to bust her brothers have remained relentless. However, her defiance to failure trying to get Phineas and Ferb grounded may be taking a noticeable toll on her mental health.

Candace's mental health has severely deteriorate to the point she ignores the Bust Accord, ignore her friends during the slumber party, and ending her date with Jeremy early so she can expose the boys. Her friends and boyfriend took notice of it and are genuinely concerned about Candace's obsession. While Candace did get a therapist to help her, said therapist was arrested for his deteriorating sanity and obsession which is indirectly caused by Candace and the people of Danville combined. One thing for certain, Candace becomes more unstable in Season 5 to the point that she cannot control herself. Panicking

Candace has been known to lose her patience very easily and panic at the pettiest of things. For this, Linda attended an author visitation for the series, You and Your High Strung Teen by Bridgette Oshinomi. Bridgette herself related with Linda to having a vigorous daughter of her own but was officially convinced that Candace was much more unstable than her own daughter after seeing the photo she sent to Linda's cellphone. However, she along with Linda remained unaware of the circumstances under which the photo was taken.

A notable trait of Candace contributing to her being quick to panic is her paranoia, which shows itself numerous times. Her paranoia is evident not only on matters involving her brothers, but with her love life as well. As she has strived for Jeremy's affection she would analyze his actions closely trying to piece together his attitude towards her. On several occasions, she would misinterpret his actions and come to abrupt conclusions, often reacting with distress. These occasions include when she came to believe he was dumping her after he cancelled their date[14] and when she was convinced that he never called her by any cute nickname because he didn't care about her. Either way, it has turned out on each occasion that Candace overreacted and Jeremy cares about her deeply.

Frustration: Her constant failures trying to expose her brothers' big ideas to Linda have eaten away at her composure over time and she has sunk down into a mentally deteriorated state. Thus, she frequently displays an erratic behavior for which many people including her mother have come to view as crazy and questioned her sanity. Few understand that her claims are almost always true and fewer understand how frustrating her day-to-day routines are.

At her current age of 16, Candace stands at a height of five feet and eight inches. Her head is round by general appearance and her eye color possess a shade of dark cobalt blue similar to that of her brother's with a small triangle pointed nose. She has middle parted brilliant orange hair, unlike the unnatural red hair of others in the Flynn family and flows past shoulder-length in a straight flip. Her hair has been in different styles. A notable physical trait of hers is her unusually long neck. She has big breast and thick curves when she’s in her late twenties.

Appearance: Candace usually wears a rose red sleeveless top with a darker red collar hemline, a dark cherry red belt with no buckle, a white a-line skirt, matching red ankle socks, and white Mary Jane shoes. Candace usually wears purple pajamas with a cloud pattern at bedtime. As a toddler, she wore a deep red shirt and a white overall dress.

Personality: When she's out cycling, she wears a white T-shirt with blue bootcut jeans and a white belt with a gold buckle, still wearing her usual socks and shoes. In another occasion, she wears the same outfit, but with brown boots instead of white Mary Jane shoes.

Candace often appears with her own patterned background similar to Phineas's generic triangle patterned background. That her background uses semicircles in place of triangles is what differentiates it from her brother's.

When she goes swimming, she usually wears a one-piece light pink swimsuit with a white flower on it and (in her imagination) a red one-piece swimsuit.

When she goes to the beach, she usually wears a light-red bikini with white flowers and red sandals. In a special instance, her bikini is purple and the flowers are different that the ones of her usual one.

Her formal look consists in a dark-pink dress with a violet band that covers her waist tied in her frontal size, a white necklace, a white bracelet on her right wrist and purple high heeled strapped sandals.

Skills and Abilities: Candace has shown a vast ability in singing and playing instruments. She can play the guitar and every musical instrument starting with the letter "B", including the banjo, the bass guitar, bagpipes, bassoon, bugle, bongos, and balalaika ("Mom's Birthday"). Along with that, she has a very good singing voice.

She won an annual essay contest for the exclusive Mayor for a Day title. This may imply that she is a talented writer. She seems to know Morse code as well.

Candace is very durable, having remained uninjured after suffering from perilous falls, lightning strikes, being launched into orbit at supersonic speeds in a millisecond or less ("Candace Disconnected"), and being transported to Mars in her normal attire not suited for planets without a breathable atmosphere ("Unfair Science Fair Redux (Another Story)"). Added with this is a remarkable athletic prowess that has yet to be paralleled by anyone else on the show. She can run at and maintain high speeds on foot as well as on a bicycle ("Interview With a Platypus", "Split Personality", "The Curse of Candace" "Der Kinderlumper"). Her cycling performance in particular is nearly inhuman.

Candace has demonstrated remarkable strength on few occasions. These occasions include when was able to incapacitate an alligator with her bare hands with no injuries to herself ("Fireside Girl Jamboree") and when she subdued a giant video game boss Buford by hitting him across the face with her in-game life bar ("Gaming the System"). She can perform one-handed push-ups ("I Was a Middle Aged Robot"), and she has also been shown to be able to lift and carry her mother without apparent difficulty ("Tour de Ferb"). Added to this, it was made known that she can potentially develop a degree of proficiency in martial arts as demonstrated by Candace-2. (Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension)

She seems to be more flexible than other people, having been able to do the splits with little effort ("Phineas' Birthday Clip-O-Rama!", Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension).

She is an excellent swimmer as shown when she was forced to swim all the way to shore holding up a disposable camera when her brothers unknowingly locked her out of a submarine. ("Voyage to the Bottom of Buford") She also qualified to become a lifeguard which requires a considerable amount of skill. ("The Lake Nose Monster")

Contrary to her brother's prowess with building and constructing things, Candace has revealed that she has the ability to disassemble things in a very short time frame, seeing as she single-handedly took a train apart to keep the locomotive running ("Last Train to Bustville"), undid the modifications Phineas and Ferb made to the house within less than a minute (though against her will), ("Misperceived Monotreme"), and even tore apart a large contraption with her bare hands after finding out that it was built by her brothers ("Perry The Actorpus").

However, she has also been shown to possess some construction ability like her brothers, though to a lesser extent. She has been able to use this skill when given enough motivation ("The Best Lazy Day Ever", "Fireside Girl Jamboree", "Ask a Foolish Question"). She appears to be particularly inclined towards building/carving sculptures, though this may not (any longer) include castles ("Atlantis", "Phineas and Ferb Hawaiian Vacation")

She has a learner's permission and is excellent at parallel parking. It is now unknown how well she can drive, however, though her push to bust her brothers has been shown to have a dramatic effect on her driving performance. ("It's a Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud World", "Bubble Boys")

Biography: Candace was born on the 11th of July in Danville to Linda Flynn and an unnamed father. As a young girl, Candace enjoyed a children's television show named Ducky Momo, which gave her comfort and companionship while she was an only child. A few years later, Candace's brother Phineas was born. This brought an end to the loneliness Candace felt as a child. She has since come to share a varying, yet enduring relationship with her younger brother.

When Candace was a toddler, her mother Linda Flynn married Lawrence Fletcher, a British man, whom she had first fallen in love with at a Love Händel concert. Candace and Phineas gained a stepbrother in Lawrence's son, Ferb, who developed a brother and best friend relationship with Phineas. Since then, Candace has grown up seeing Lawrence as her father and even now calls him "Dad". ("Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together", "It's a Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud World", "It's About Time!", "Phineas and Ferb Get Busted!", "I Was a Middle Aged Robot")

When she was 5, she had Stacy film her telling her future self things she wants to do in her life, including conquer her fear of spiders. She eventually completed everything on her list as a teenager. ("Phineas and Ferb Save Summer")

In the third grade, she, along with Stacy shared an obsession over a boy named Billy Clarke and competed fiercely for his affection. He is only mentioned and never seen. It appears that she and Stacy have since moved on. ("Spa Day")

Candace was embarrassed when Linda brought an unspecified inflatable object to her fifth grade graduation ("Does This Duckbill Make Me Look Fat?").

Middle School

In middle school, Candace fell in love with a boy at her school named Jeremy. Her crush became something of an obsession, and over the years she started to watch him, marking insignificant events on a calendar as "special moments". ("Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together")

Teenage Years

Candace lives a relatively comfortable life with her parents, her brothers, and their family pet, Perry. Candace is annoyed by the building projects, adventures, and contraptions that her brothers make, and spends every day of summer vacation trying to alert Linda to see their schemes so she will ground them. Each time, however, Candace fails. Having gone through the same routine dozens of times, Candace has begun to behave in an erratic manner many would call insane. Her brothers occupy a large portion of her thoughts and their regular endeavours, although unintentionally, are a menace to her composure. Due to this it's difficult for her to relax and avoid thinking about their projects. This habit has taken a reasonable toll on her life, leading her mother into questioning her sanity and forcing her close friends Stacy and Jenny to cope with her frequent obsessions over her brothers. Only Jeremy, her love interest and later boyfriend, seems to tolerate this behavior.

However, Candace has managed to refrain from her desire to bust her brothers on rare occasions, and has even benefited from their projects a few times. She would enjoy herself when she participates in them and later put aside the disappointment of having failed to get them in trouble.

Her obsession with Jeremy also takes up large portions of her time. Candace would spend hours stalking him and watching his every step, particularly during his working shifts in Mr. Slushy locations across Danville. Along with that, she'd also strive to get his attention on numerous occasions with motives varying between getting him to notice her and diverting his attention away from any other girl who may have been flirting with him. These habits have since faded since they became an official couple during the end of the Summer Solstice.

Due to Candace's poor skill with evenly balancing the different aspects of her life, this has put strain on her relationship with Stacy on at least one occasion ("The Lemonade Stand") and she continues to exert an unnecessary amount of effort trying to uphold her relationship with Jeremy.

A very focused woman who is super obsessed with busting her little brothers for inventions that always mysteriously disappear.
