| - Karen Plankton is a main character in the original SpongeBob series who plays as Plankton's talking computer wife. She is revealed in many episodes that she is a Mac. She has a disliking for Plankton. Karen herself is actually a machine that can turn into any Mac - an invention of Plankton's. She is currently a Mac OS X Leopard. Karen once engaged in a conversation with Steve Jobs which was about which lawyers they would need to sue Bill Gates for selling recalled/error laptops. Karen is a high-tech 1986 computer that Plankton updated in 2009 so she would be more high-tech. Karen is also voiced by Tom Kenny's wife.
- Karen Plankton is a fictional character in SpongeBob SquarePants. She is the wife of Sheldon J. Plankton and is voiced by Jill Talley.
- Karen usually manifests on the large-screen computer in Plankton's lab, but sometimes acts through a portable wheeled computer. She was first shown in the episode "Plankton!", although in her first appearance she was simply Plankton's talking computer and would not be established as his wife until later on. In the episode "Friend or Foe", it was discovered that Karen was a Security System before Plankton married her. Karen and Plankton's relationship is a very troubled one. Plankton sometimes does not consider her his true soul mate, and explains to her in "Enemy In-Law" that W.I.F.E. stands for "Wired Integrated Female Electroencephalograph". The two frequently argue, and Karen is often very bossy, sarcastic, and cynical to her husband, having nagging software installed in her. She also thinks Plankton's first name, Sheldon, is funny, as shown in the episode, "Plankton's Army", which is why Plankton had to unplug her after she kept making fun of his name, Sheldon, even when he told her to stop. Karen is often indifferent to her husband's plots to defeat Mr. Krabs and often shows very half-hearted dedication to his plans for domination over others. Despite their differences, Plankton has said that marrying Karen was the greatest thing that ever happened to him, the second being his Evil Plan Z succeeding. Unlike Plankton, however, Karen shows some degree of dedication for her husband. This is evident whenever she appears, often showing it in the form of assistance in Plankton's schemes, consoling him whenever he's down, and even crying upon Plankton when he told her what W.I.F.E. stands for. It is most likely that Plankton either ignores, or cannot register the acts of kindness that Karen often performs for him, resulting in their various feuds. Karen is, in some ways, smarter than her husband. A running gag in the series is that while Plankton is contemplating his plans in his lab, Karen will suggest a route of action to him, and he will either not heed her plans or take credit for them. Karen is a Mark II Surplus UNIVAC with 256 GBs (Gigabytes) of RAM, and it has been mentioned that she was a security system before marrying Plankton. In "Goo Goo Gas", when Plankton sprays her with the gas, Karen is turned into a calculator. In "All That Glitters", a monitor that looks exactly like Karen in her portable form is seen in the hospital, and in "Shellback Shenanigans", he mistakes it for Karen.
