Wilma Flintstone

Wilma Flintstone is a cavewoman and the tritagonist of the Flintstones animated franchise. Her voice was originated by Jean Vander Pyl.

Wilma is a strong-willed, stay-at-home wife for her husband Fred. Serious and incredibly sarcastic, Wilma must always contend with Fred's temper—typically caused by work or money she needs—which usually ends in him looking like an incompetent fool. Wilma's best friends are her next-door neighbors, Betty and Barney Rubble. Halfway in season three of The Flintstones, she gave birth to her daughter Pebbles.

Character description
Wilma is an slim and very attractive woman with fair skin and swirly red hair. She wears a white loincloth dress, a pearl necklace, and red lipstick. One distinct thing Wilma has is that she has black dots for eyes (as opposed to Fred, who has white eyes with black dots).

Wilma works as a homemaker in her household; often seen doing laundry or making meals for his husband when he comes home. She is patient, strong willed, and level-headed, often criticizing Fred for his childish and ill-fated schemes. Wilma can also be pretty sarcastic towards him when he acts up. Although she can get emotionally unhappy when something goes wrong, she still brings affection to her family, and will often be the one to bail out Fred when his plans land him in hot water.

Wilma's closest friends are the next-door Rubble family, namely Betty Rubble. Wilma is often seen having a conversation with Betty, regardless of what topic they cover. They are sometimes seen shopping in various stores within the the town.

Development
Wilma is based on Alice Kramden, the wife of Ralph Kramden and one of the four main characters from the 1950s TV sitcom The Honeymooners. Like her animated counterpart, Alice is patient, often finding herself bearing with her husband's absurd demands, and responding him with her sharp-tongued sarcasm.
