Candy is one of four main characters from the 2013 movie "Spring Breakers."
Candy is a wild and promiscuous party animal who experiments with both drugs and her sexuality; like the other three girls, Candy is fed up with the every day dullness of her hometown, and after realizing that they haven't enough money to travel and stay in Florida for a holiday, three of the girls (including Candy) take drastic measures to perform their dream.
Candy, Brit and Cotty drive down to a fast food restaurant - whilst Cotty acts as a getaway driver, Candy and Brit put on masks and enter the restaurant with toy guns and a hammer and threaten the lives of everyone in exchange for money; they get away successfully and travel to Florida. Candy stays to the end with Brit , and enters a sexual relationship with both Alien and Brit . She also participates in the murders of Big Arch and his men - when Alien is killed, Candy and Brit kiss him and leave Florida in Arch's Lamborghini. Candy is portrayed by actress Vanessa Hudgens.
Appearance
Candy is the smallest girl in the group at 5'3 with olive toned skin and dark brown eyes. Her hair is naturally dark, shown by her roots, but dyed blonde. Like all of the other girls, she is slender and beautiful. In the film, she wears a hot pink bikini, however in the promo photos and posters, she wears a green bikini top with purple shorts. She has a tattoo of a butterfly on her neck and half of an ohm on each side of her hand, creating the full symbol when placed together. Her nails are painted in alterante colours; a purpley-pink and blue.
Personality
Candy is the most sexual out of all the girls and she's the main reason why they get arrested whilst in Florida. She also can be the most devious and is pretty much the leader of the girls in the bad things that they do. She is sociopathic in many ways; she robs a diner with no remorse, she seemed to enjoy intimidating people, she is manipulative, and she does not care for her friends as much as it seems
However, toward the end of the film she, along with Brit, call their mothers and tell them that they want to become better people and change their ways.
