Pebbles' Life Story
Pebbles Flintstone was born in the fictional town of Bedrock. She quickly became best friends with her next-door neighbor, Bamm-Bamm Rubble. They grew up together and shared many adventures.
Pebbles as a Child
As a young girl, Pebbles was a great baseball player. This led to a fun adventure with her dad in the 1978 TV special The Flintstones: Little Big League.
Pebbles as a Teenager
When Pebbles became a teenager, she started dating Bamm-Bamm. She was known for getting her friends into funny situations. This was often because she had a habit of coming up with plans that didn't quite work out, just like her dad! For example, she once caused a strike by city workers when she was made honorary mayor for a week.
Pebbles and her friends went to Bedrock High School. She even had her own catchphrase, similar to her father's "Yabba-Dabba-Doo!": "Yabba-Dabba-Doozie!"
Pebbles as an Adult
As an adult, Pebbles decided to work in advertising. She married Bamm-Bamm, and they moved to Hollyrock. This is a prehistoric version of Hollywood, California. Later, they had two children, a son named Chip and a daughter named Roxy. They were fraternal twins.

Pebbles in Marketing
In 1963, the creators of The Flintstones, Hanna-Barbera, first planned for the new baby character to be a boy. However, a toy company called Ideal Toy Company suggested they make the baby a girl instead. This way, the company could create a doll of the character. Hanna-Barbera agreed to this idea.
