Yabba-Dabba-Doozie!
―Pebbles Flintstone as a teenager from The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show


Pebbles Flintstone-Rubble is the daughter of Fred Flintstone and Wilma Flintstone, granddaughter to Pearl Slaghoople, goddaughter/daughter-in-law to Barney Rubble and Betty Rubble, wife to Bamm-Bamm Rubble and mother to Chip and Roxy Rubble and a fictional character of the original series, The Flintstones and the rest of the franchise.

Background

According to the February 22, 1963, edition of TV Guide, Pebbles was born at the Bedrock Rockopedic Hospital on February 22, 10,000 B.C. That particular year was never actually cited within the show itself; most versions of the show put the Flintstones' era as circa 1,000,000 B.C.

As a preteen, Pebbles was an excellent baseball player, which led to a misadventure involving her father, as seen in the prime-time special, The Flintstones: Little Big League.

By the time she was a teenager, Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm had fallen in love and began dating each other. She was noted for getting Bamm-Bamm and their friends into various misadventures, mostly due to sharing her dad's penchant for schemes that would inevitably backfire. She and her friends, Moonrock Crater, Wiggy Rockstone and Penny Pillar attended Bedrock High School; Pebbles had a catchphrase, "Yabba-Dabba-Doozie!" similar to her father's iconic catchphrase, "Yabba-Dabba-Doo!".

As an adult, Pebbles pursued a career in advertising and married Bamm-Bamm. After this, the newly married couple moved to Hollyrock and eventually had fraternal twins, Chip and Roxy.

Physical appearance

Toddler

In her famous form as a toddler, Pebbles is short with fair skin, black eyes with blue irises, black eyebrows, red-orange hair, lips (either with or without red lipstick) and a trademark white bone in her ponytail hair.

In the original series, The Flintstones, she wears a loincloth with black spots in various colors, including tan in the third through fifth seasons and green in the sixth and final season, and a diaper in various colors including black in the third through fifth seasons and white in the sixth and final season. Also, she mostly wears a green and black-spotted loincloth and teal diaper for the rest of the franchise.

Child/Preteen

As a 9 year-old child in A Flintstone Christmas, The Flintstones: Little Big League, a 10 to 12 year old in Yabba-Dabba Dinosaurs and a 14 year-old preteen in The Flintstone Comedy Show she is growing and is slender, plus her hair style is a little bit larger.

Teenager

As a 15 year-old teenager in the spin-offs, The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show and The Flintstone Comedy Hour, she is tall and her hair style is longer with a short ponytail.

Adult

As an adult in the three films, I Yabba-Dabba Do!, Hollyrock-a-Bye Baby and A Flintstone Family Christmas, she is now finally grown up and her hair style is now shorter and different.

Personality

As a toddler in her most famous form and unlike typical cave-babies, Pebbles is cute, kind, sweet, adorable, innocent, pure, precious, playful, energetic and fickle, but even though she loves her father, she'll easily replace him with someone she likes including Wilma's old cowboy friend, Bony Hurdle who comes for a visit which Pebbles prefers him and calls him "Dada" in the episode, "Bedrock Rodeo Round-Up" for example.

As a little girl, Pebbles developed a bit of a tomboy streak and was willing to go out for baseball in Little Big League.

As a teenager, Pebbles became more ditzy and energetic, gaining her father’s knack for harebrained schemes and dragging her friends into trouble because of it.

As an adult, she became a working woman with a career in marketing and advertising all sorts of properties and media. Sometimes, she tended to jump to conclusions and was prone to mood swings (e.g. Thinking Bamm-Bamm was writing a 'Dear John’ letter without actually reading it). Regardless, she still was a devoted wife and fell in love with her children from the minute they were born.
