Carly Shay

Carly Shay (born Carlotta Taylor Shay on January 17, 1994) is the sister of artist Spencer Shay and the host of iCarly. Carly is played by Miranda Cosgrove after appearing as Megan Parker on Drake and Josh.

Character Bio
Carly Shay is a good student, getting A's and B's on her report cards, and having received detention after slamming a locker and after taking the blame for her best friend Sam Puckett when she put Miss Briggs' head on the body of a rhinoceros. She helps her friend Sam by telling her what's good and bad. She hosts an popular web show called iCarly (named after her). She had a crush on a boy named Jake Crandall (portrayed by Austin Butler), but it ended after she saw him kissing his ex-girlfriend. She likes the band Cuddlefish. She mostly uses Pear electronics (a parody of Apple Inc. like a Pear laptop or a Pear phone) and she has been seen with some type of product from them in 3 episodes.

Carly is best friends with Sam. Carly became best friends with Sam about five years before.

Carly's main enemy is her teacher, Ms. Briggs, who blackmails her along with Freddie and Sam into letting her play bagpipes on Carly's web show. Her other enemy is Valerie, a girl with a competing web show who pretended to like Freddie so he would produce her web show and tried to lure Sam away. Nevel Papperman, an 11 year-old boy (now thirteen) and creator of Nevelocity.com, wants Carly to date with him and kisses her on the cheek in what Carly calls a "surprise attack." Carly responds by shoving Topanade in his face. He then treats Carly badly because she won't go out with him by calling her web show "iCarly". Carly also had an argument with Sam in "iDon't Wanna Fight". Carly gave Sam an iCarly t-shirt she made for their fifth friendship anniversary, but Sam later traded the shirt for tickets to a Cuttlefish concert since Cuttlefish is Carly's favorite band. Carly was angry instead of grateful and the two broke out into an argument, which lasted for about a week or two. Freddie ends the argument by letting the fans of iCarly decide who's right to be upset (Carly because Sam traded her shirt or Sam because Carly didn't appreciate her getting the Cuttlefish concert tickets). Freddie checked the poll and, just as he was hoping, their fans don't like it when best friends fight. This caused Carly and Sam to realize their argument was stupid and they made up. Carly however, has been slightly bullied by Sam in one case where she was cuffed to a chair and tape gagged with silvery duct tape. Carly's birthstone is the garnet.
