Concept
The characters "Fionna the Human" and "Cake the Cat" were created by Natasha Allegri (pictured) and worked into the third season episode "Fionna and Cake".

The idea for "Fionna the Human" and "Cake the Cat" evolved from drawings that Adventure Time character designer and storyboard revisionist Natasha Allegri had posted online during the show's earliest seasons.[4] Reception to the gender-swapped characters was so positive that the Adventure Time producers decided to write the characters into the series.[5] They debuted in season three's "Fionna and Cake", which functioned as both "a jab [and] a huge celebration of, [sic] the feeling of being a fan" and "allowing something completely ridiculous to make your heart tighten".[6] The characters would make additional appearances in season five's "Bad Little Boy", season six's "The Prince Who Wanted Everything", season eight's "Five Short Tables", and season nine's "Fionna and Cake and Fionna".[7]
