You're right. I am just a little tadpole, and I'm not ready to be alone! ” Polly Petunia Plantar is the tetartagonist of Amphibia. She is the younger sister of Sprig, and granddaughter of Hop Pop. She was a polliwog, which is one of the younger stages of a frog. By the end of "The Hardest Thing", Polly grew her first hair, then became a young frog girl nine months later. AppearanceBodyPolly resembles a real-life tadpole, albeit she has arms instead of legs and is more globular in appearance. Unlike the other Amphibians, she has a blue tongue rather than green. She also sports dark purple irises. She often moves in a wooden bucket filled with water and held together by a cylindrical steel frame. It has seen a fair amount of use apparent in its worn appearance. She also is seen without it and hops around instead. As of "True Colors", after she got nearly stepped on, she grew her legs. Approximately nine months after Anne left Amphibia,[2] Polly has matured into a young frog, growing orange hair and losing her tail, and now has a pale underbelly. ClothingPolly as the head of a fake human, as mentioned. She has a yellow bow with lighter white/yellow polka dots. As of Season 3 so far, she is seen without the bow, instead wearing a blue fisher's hat with baby blue stripes, often seen in a raincoat, rain boots, and a wig, all of which serves as her human disguise. She is also not seen with either in some episodes, like "Hop 'Til You Drop", when she wore a hoodie alongside Sprig as the head of a fake human. During the episode "Fixing Frobo", Polly wears overalls and a hat. During the episode "Froggy Little Christmas", Polly wears a green bow, a Santa suit, and green Mary Jane shoes. During the series' epilogue, Polly wears stained mechanic overalls, a left glove, and has some bandages on her arms and legs but retains her bow. PersonalityPolly is an outgoing and mostly fearless tadpole, although she is afraid of wax figures and olms. She loves adventure, monsters, and having fun with her family. Although she is young, she has the heart of an explorer. She is mysterious, explosive, and unpredictable, such as favoring to attack stuff using either her flail or her rolling pin she named "Doris". Even though she's usually more responsible than her older brother Sprig, she still retains infantile tendencies, namely being easily swayed by the temptation of candies. As shown in "Hop 'Til You Drop", Polly struggles to control her anger and gets into fights easily. Background
Polly shouts out at Anne. Polly, like everyone else, was initially put off by Anne's appearance and behavior, but she gradually came to accept her. Disgusted by her thinking she'd eat them. She would bounce at Anne threatening her with Doris trying to scare her off. She later came to the realization that Anne was a friend, though, she was bribed to join her and Sprig on an adventure with candy. Polly and Sprig happily shout for Anne's pizza idea. Polly, being the youngest has to be protected by her family. She is commonly around Anne and Sprig due to their wild adventures. Polly doesn't like being babied, finding it unnecessary and unneeded. She tries to make herself look more brave and strong so that the family would stop treating her like that. Because Hop Pop is her only adult caregiver, it's probable that she's attempting to impress him. Even when things get difficult, Polly and Hop Pop maintain a solid connection. Polly believes she is better at handling circumstances than her elder brother, and roughly half of the time is correct. Polly, on the other hand, looks up to Sprig and values his positive influence. While she can be a handful for him, she cares about his well-being and occasionally acts as Sprig's confidante, giving him advice, even if she can misdirect him for her own gain. The majority of her conflicts are caused by external factors, such as when she got self-conscious over Anne's opinion of her in "Girl Time," causing her to temporarily doubt her talents. Polly proudly demonstrates her spitting prowess. Polly has spent the majority of her life surrounded by boys and has never spent time with any girls, Anne realizes. Anne declares that she and Polly will have "Girl Time" together, so she borrows Hop Pop's wallet (which he finds strange because he doesn't have any money) and the two go into town to spend time together. Anne takes Polly to the spa, hairdresser, clothing store, and restaurants in town. While Anne attempts to have a wonderful time, Polly can't seem to stop herself from behaving in a tomboyish manner that causes havoc. Anne decides to take Polly to Tuti for a massage. Polly then flees, and Anne pursues her while Constable Buck Leatherleaf gathers a posse to track them down. Buck captures Anne and Polly, as well as Sprig and Hop Pop, and orders them to collect tarantula eggs until their due to society is fulfilled. Anne advises that Polly break the spit record at the last minute so that they can win the gold award and pay the prize money. RelationshipsSprig PlantarPolly and Sprig have a typical sibling rivalry, Polly is even considered by Hop Pop in “Anne or Beast?” to be more responsible. Polly feels that she is better at handling situations than her older brother, which she can be correct about half the time. However, Polly really does look up to Sprig and appreciates his supportive influence. While she can be a handful for him, she cares about his well being and sometimes acts as Sprig's confidant; giving him advice, though she can sometimes purposefully misdirect him for her own amusement. Hop Pop PlantarShe is Hop Pop's granddaughter. He is overprotective of her. She dislikes when he tries to care for her and treat her like a baby but still loves him. Anne BoonchuyAnne cuddling Polly. Anne seemed slightly perturbed by Polly when she first met her. In "Cane Crazy", Polly was reluctant to help her because she barely knew her and only agreed to help after Anne offered her candy from her world, but by the end of the episode, Polly admitted she was just starting to like Anne. By the events of "Girl Time", Anne desired to become closer to her while trying to enforce what she viewed as girlish onto Polly. By the end of the episode, she began to accept her more masculine and crass behavior and Polly grew closer to Anne. Since then, the two get along quite well and have become very close, forming a sisterly bond. Anne is usually seen holding Polly or letting her sit on her head, showing that she trusts her enough and certain episodes have shown that the two share a lot in common in terms of being adventurous. In "Lost in Newtopia", the two try to create a collective name for themselves; first with "Puh-Anne" and then "An-Olly", neither of which the two find very appealing. Sasha WaybrightWhile the two don't interact much one on one, Polly generally seems to dislike Sasha much like Sprig and Hop Pop do after aiding Grime in trying to kill her grandfather in "Reunion" and also trying to do the same to Sprig in the same episode. Even when Sasha claims to have reformed in "The Third Temple", she still doesn't hold a high opinion of her and joins Sprig and Hop Pop in taunting her about the events of Toad Tower during "The Dinner", though she does seem to get along with her slightly better than Sprig and Hop Pop. Eventually, they put aside their differences with each other once they find out King Andrias is the bigger threat and fight off his forces together with the group. When seeing that Sasha has become the leader of an underground resistance in Wartwood and has truly changed in "Commander Anne", the two seem to get along much better with Polly even sitting on Sasha's shoulders during "Mother of Olms" and encouraging her to go in Mother Olm's ear with her, Anne, and Sprig. Marcy WuWhen they first met, Marcy made a good first impression on Polly, being impressed by her crossbow and overjoyed when she tells her about her legs growing in two months. Overall, she is shown to share a stable friendship with Marcy even being held by her sometimes like in "The Second Temple" and assures Marcy she still finds her cool after she seemingly loses the Flipwart game in "The First Temple" despite being a bit freaked out by her tendency to be in the zone. Things do get a bit strained between them once it is revealed Marcy intentionally trapped herself, Anne, and Sasha in Amphibia due to fearing separation from them though they still fight off Andrias' forces together and while not shown, is presumably devastated by Marcy's possible death. FroboWhen she first met Frobo, they instantly got along well with the two pulling various mischievous actions throughout the town during "Friend or Frobo?" and seems to view him as a little brother to her. They are seen providing special effects for Anne, Sasha, and Marcy's musical performance together during "Battle of the Bands". Polly is devastated by him getting crushed by Andrias and his robots in "True Colors" and hopes to find a way to repair him when she gets transported to Earth with his head. In "Fixing Frobo", Polly didn't want to wait to get back to Amphiba to fix Frobo as she missed him too much ever since Andrias smashed him. She eventually tried to fix him up herself and by watching videos from Ally and Jess. Polly mange to fix him, but Frobo doesn’t seem to recognize her. And by the time he does, thanks to Polly's tears he realizes they're heading to the ground too fast so he put her in his makeshift body to protect her. After surviving the fall, Polly was overjoyed to have Frobo back where she promised that she'll take her time in rebuilding his body. Captain GrimeEven though they haven't interacted much, they are presumed to be enemies after he tried to kill Hop Pop in "Reunion". She continues to distrust him (along with Sprig and Hop Pop) even after he and Sasha claim to have reformed though they do put aside their differences by "True Colors" once they find out King Andrias is the bigger threat and fight off his forces together with the group. King AndriasIn spite of King Andrias initially making a good first impression on her when they met, they eventually became enemies in "True Colors" when he proceeded to reveal his true intentions, nearly kill her and her brother, crushed Frobo, and seemingly killing Marcy with Polly even calling him a monster. Ally and JessPolly met Ally and Jess when she was looking for videos to try to repair Frobo, becoming interested in the duo's videos. When she fails to repair it, she calls the I.T. Gals directly, who help her with instructions for repairing it but also warn her not to turn it on in the Boonchuy's garage as it could be dangerous, but Polly ignores them. The I.T. Gals later go in search of Polly, only to find her being shot skyward before she begins to fall to a great height, but Frobo protects Polly and saves her. After Polly and Frobo are saved, the I.T. Gals begin to discuss with Polly ways to fix it. Powers and abilities
