Samantha Shane

Samantha Shane (voiced by Laraine Newman) is a 12 (later 13) year old character who appears in the Rugrats special "All Growed Up" and its spin-off All Grown Up!.

Characteristics
Samantha Shane is Angelica's best friend and Chuckie's love interest, 10 years into the future. She and Angelica are considered part of the popular crowd, however, she's seemingly friendly. She's the same as an average teen; into popular music and make-up. She becomes very suspicious as to how both Angelica and Tommy have the same last name but how Angelica says they're not related. However, she brushes it off mostly. She even listens to how Angelica once asked her parents to change her last name to "La Tiffany" but said no. To that she scoffs, "Hmmm parents". She becomes Chuckie's love interest after she gives him her lip balm. Both she and Angelica had plans to go to the Emica concert and she becomes more suspicious when Angelica says she has a necklace identical to Emica's. However, when the concert time comes and Angelica shows no necklace in sight, Samantha becomes upset because she believes Angelica's been lying to her. She then declares to her, "I think you lied to me, Angelica, I bet you never had the necklace, and I bet you've ever been to Paris, and I bet you ARE related to that Tommy Pickles!!". Although she tries to explain, Samantha's tired of her lying, calling her a "phony". However when Tommy brings the medallion, Angelica finally comes clean and tells her the truth. Although she's shocked to hear her admit she lied, she doesn't get angry, only calmly saying, "I'll have to think about this Angelica". However, despite her lying earlier, she seems to forgive Angelica a bit when she introduces Chuckie to her and explains how great he is. It is hinted that she had braces once, saying that her lip balm was good when braces can sometimes cause a person to drool. Its also hinted she may return Chuckie's affections as she says she thinks he'll be cute when his braces come off. She appears again in the All Grown Up! episode "Yu-Gotta-Go".

Appearance
Samantha has long black hair worn down with a pink hairband, full lips, black pupils, three eyelashes around each eye, and freckles. She also wears a purple shirt, golden earrings, and a red skirt. She made her last appearance in the episode "Yu-Gotta-Go". In the episode, the creators of All Grown Up! changed her appearance to African-American for unknown reasons.

In Season 1, she wears a pink tank top, dark blue jeans, and black sneakers with purple laces. In Season 2, 4, and 5, she mostly wears a yellow jacket, dark purple skirt, and dark red boots. Her ponytail is also a bit looser. In Season 3, she wears a blue shirt and a purple skirt.
