Character Biography

Carly lives with her 26 year old artsy brother, Spencer Shay, and has a neighbor called Freddie who has a huge crush on her. She is a good student, getting A's and B's on her report cards (she nearly gets all A's in the episode iPromise Not to Tell), and only having received detention once after slamming a locker, but fails to get detention for purposely breaking a teacher's chair and pulling the fire alarm.[11] Carly is often the voice of reason, in contrast to Sam's actions.[12] She hosts a popular web show called iCarly (named after her). She had a crush on a boy named Jake Krandall (portrayed by Austin Butler), but it ended after she saw him kissing his ex-girlfriend, but after talking to him he tells her that things happen for a reason he's back with his ex-girlfriend and doesn't have to worry about getting between her and Freddie.[13]She enjoys the fictional band 'Cuddlefish'. She mostly uses Pear electronics (a parody of Apple Inc.) and she has been picked up off the ground in 3 episodes. In the episode, "iWant a World Record", it is revealed that Carly is ticklish when Sam tickles her sides and Carly giggles and pulls her hands away. Carly generally has a girly outfit, but often incorporates jeans into her ensemble.

Carly is best friends with Sam and Freddie. Carly and Sam became best friends approximately five years previous to present day.[2] Freddie is Carly's next-door neighbor and classmate.

Carly's main enemy is her teacher, Ms. Briggs, who blackmails her along with Freddie and Sam into letting her play bag pipes on Carly's web show.[14] Her other enemy is Nevel Papperman, an 11 year-old boy and creator of Nevelocity.com, wants Carly to date with him and kisses her on the cheek in what Carly calls a "surprise attack." Carly responds by shoving tapenade in his face. He then treats Carly badly because she won't go out with him by calling her web show "iBoring!".[15] In the episode iWill Date Freddie, Carly finds a rival in Valerie, a girl who entices Freddie to work on her webshow instead of iCarly.[16] Carly once had an argument with Sam in "iDon't Want to Fight". Freddie checked the poll and, just as he was hoping, their fans don't like it when best friends fight. This caused Carly and Sam to realize their argument was pathetic and they made up with each other.[2] Carly has never had a boyfriend, but often gives hints of having crushes. Freddie has a crush on Carly, a fact Carly uses to manipulate him at times.

Personal life information

Carly is an outgoing thirteen year old girl in the eighth grade, who lives with her twenty-six year old brother, Spencer. In the first episode[1], Carly starts iCarly with Sam and Freddie. To get more viewers, Sam and Carly have a contest with Spencer and Freddie to see who can come up with the best idea to pull in the most viewers.[17] Carly starts to have a dream about a boy from television that she had a crush on, and meets him (in Freddie's dream) and at her home in a big dance number (in Carly's dream, also in Spencer's).[18] Nevel Papperman, one of Carly's enemies, starts loving Carly then starts hating Carly. He starts treating Carly badly and messes up her webshow by calling it "iBoring"[19]. He gives a bad review for iCarly. Carly starts to begin planning revenge against Nevel, calling his mom and telling her what he's been doing.

Carly's other enemy is her teacher, Ms. Briggs. Carly and Freddie sneak into Ms. Briggs's house to see what she does outside of school to end up being stuck in Ms. Briggs's shrine for Randy Jackson.[14] Her other enemy, Valerie, tries to make Freddie quit iCarly and go with her to start her own webshow. She also tries to get Sam to do the show with her, both which failed terribly. Carly and Sam start an argument with Freddie for the things he did badly to them. Freddie goes back to apologize. He goes back to iCarly.[16]

While Sam gets detention, Carly gets detention herself (on purpose) and does a broadcast of iCarly during it....on the sly. Carly sneaks Freddie into detention so he can do the webshow with her and Sam. Mr. Howard appears, seeing them doing the show but insults principal Franklin, who makes him leave and lets Sam and Carly finish the show.[11]
