- Candide Sampson

Candide Sampson is the main antagonist of Season Two. She is the new superintendent of Clone High High School as well as Principal Scudworth’s new superior (much to his animosity); both of them attempting to oust each other from the faculty. Candide works in the office above Principal Scudworth's and monitors him through the glass ceiling between their two rooms. She also has an odd obsession with monitor lizards. She replaces Toots as Joan of Arc's new foster parent, as part of her plan to groom Joan as the future world leader in Operation Spread Eagle.

She first appeared in "Let's Try This Again" and is voiced by Christa Miller.

Biography[]

Candide Sampson made her first appearance in the Season 2 premiere episode, "Let's Try This Again", where she went to meet with The Secret Board of Shadowy Figures to discuss their new plan, "Operation: Spread Eagle", where they would be defrosting the clones of Clone High High School and continue about their plans to groom them to become world leaders. The shadowy figures appointed Candide as the new superintendent of Clone High High School and assigned her to go down to watch over Principal Scudworth and make sure he stayed in check.

Candide busted her way in to Clone High High School and immediately asserted her dominance over Scudworth, making her role as his superior clear as day. Principal Scudworth immediately didn't like her, not wanting to have anyone be his superior. However, Candide proceeded to assume her position over him and had her new office installed right over his office, with a clear glass ceiling separating the two rooms, which she used to look down on and monitor him. Candide was initially outraged to hear that Principal Scudworth had created a second generation of clones over the past 20 years but quickly decided that this would actually be a good idea, as it would be beneficial to their plans for world domination.

Principal Scudworth was extremely infuriated to hear Candide request the key to the principal's private bathroom, since the lavatory was supposed to belong to him and only him. When he went into the bathroom later, he saw how Candide had remodeled the bathroom with elegant towels, a soap dispenser, lemon-scented feminine hygienics, among several other fancy new decorations, which only angered him into making plans to blow up her head with a stick of dynamite.

When Scudworth went out to enact his murder plans on Candide, he noticed there was already a bunch of booby traps in the bathroom, including a stick of dynamite that was decorated to look like a candle, exactly like his own plan. Scudworth also notices that there were razor blades in the shell soap and a harpoon in the toilet. The only person who could have put these traps here was Candide, herself, proving that Candide had the same idea about murder and was attempting a strike on Scudworth. When Scudworth found out that Candide was trying to kill him, he fell deeply in love with her. This would only be the beginning of their very complicated love-hate relationship.

Appearance[]

Candide is a tall, slender yet bottom-heavy, pale-skinned white woman with pale-blonde short-cut hair, both long fingers and a long pointy nose, and sported brilliant-crimson lipstick on her lips.

Her attire consists of a set of large, square-framed black reading glasses with sky-blue lenses over her eyes, a gray business suit with the jacket being worn over a light cyan dress-shirt with a black necktie, a black belt with a light cyan buckle, and black knee-high, high-heeled boots.

She usually walks around carrying a giant monitor lizard on her shoulders.

Personality[]

Candide is shown to be cold-hearted and ruthless (not to an extent by any means), and slightly doesn't care at all. She is shown to be annoyed as Joan of Arc's foster mother, and when Scudworth and Mr. B mixed up the truth serum. She reveals that she just wants to be a mom when accidentally drinking the truth serum (along with the other two), meaning that she isn't 100% cold-hearted.

Trivia[]

  • The glass ceiling that separates her office from Principal Scudworth's office is a reference to the metaphorical "glass ceiling" that feminists claim is keeping them from succeeding in business. In this case, it's a role reversal, because she, as a woman is on top of the glass ceiling, with Scudworth, a male, being beneath her.
