Family and friends[]
Candy has many members in her family. Her mother, Melissa Quackenbush, is relatively sensible, sometimes even taking a stand to her abusive husband Bill, who was once handsome and friendly, but was fired from their town's chicken factory for developing a heavy drinking habit. Candy's younger brothers, Ricky and Don, take pleasure in annoying her, but miss her when she disappears entirely from their realm.
