Oh, Fred.

*Wilma Anna Flintstone (née Slaghoople) is a fictional character and the tritagonist of the original series, The Flintstones and the rest of the franchise.

She is the attractive red-headed wife of caveman Fred Flintstone, daughter of Pearl Slaghoople, mother of Pebbles Flintstone, and grandmother to Roxy and Chip Rubble. Her best friends were her next-door neighbors, Betty and Barney Rubble.

Wilma's personality was based on that of Alice Kramden, wife of Ralph Kramden on the 1950s television series The Honeymooners. Thus, much like Alice, Wilma plays the serious, strong-willed, level-headed person in her marriage, often criticizing Fred for pursuing his various ill-fated schemes. Wilma will also often be the one to bail out Fred when one of his schemes lands him in trouble.

Wilma can also be extremely and emotionally unhappy; sometimes, she even starts sobbing. Like Betty, Wilma cries when something goes wrong, one example being after Fred tells her about going to the Fireman's Ball. Also, she’s a loving and caring mother to her daughter, Pebbles.

Wilma is an unbearably beautiful, attractive, slender cavewoman with fair skin. She has swirly red-orange hair and wears a white loincloth dress with a torn hemline, a pearl necklace, and red lipstick (in some specials, it shows it's pink). Another notable thing about Wilma is that she has black dots for eyes.

Although she's a modest woman, Wilma and Betty prove themselves the two most beautiful women in Bedrock, as shown in "The Beauty Contest." In a plan to surprise Fred and Barney, Wilma and Betty snuck into a beauty contest. Removing their necklaces and donning swimsuits and heels, they showed themselves to be stunning, shapely, and lovely.

She became a housewife and was also a good cook. One of her specialties was Gravelberry Pie - the recipe for which she eventually sold to the Safestone supermarket chain. Wilma also enjoyed volunteering for various charitable and women's organizations in Bedrock, shopping, and (occasionally) getting to meet the celebrities of their world, including "Stony Curtis", "Rock Quarry" and "Jimmy Darrock".

When Pebbles was a teenager, Wilma (along with Betty) gained employment as a reporter for one of Bedrock's newspapers (or, more accurately, news-slabs), the Daily Granite (a spoof of the Daily Planet of Superman fame), under the editorial guidance of Lou Granite. While employed there, she shared various adventures with prehistoric superhero Captain Caveman, who (in a secret identity as Chester) also worked for the newspaper (a la Clark Kent).

Later, after Pebbles grew up and left home in I Yabba-Dabba Do! and Hollyrock-a-Bye Baby, Wilma started a successful catering business, "Bone Appetite," with her neighbor and friend Betty.

Wilma is a childhood friend of Betty. As a child, she lived with her parents and younger sisters Mickey and Mica Slaghoople.

As a young adult, Wilma worked with Betty as cigarette girls/waitresses at a resort. There, they first met and fell in love with their future husbands, Fred and Barney (who were working there as bellhops). Wilma's mother, Pearl Pebbles Slaghoople, also met her future son-in-law, and took a disliking toward Fred (and vice-versa), starting a long-lasting rivalry between the two.

Wilma and Fred eventually married, and Wilma became a homemaker, keeping house with such prehistoric aids as a baby elephant vacuum cleaner and pelican washing machine.*
