Characters

Angela Anaconda

Angela is a young girl with freckles on her face, who lives in Tapwater Springs and is in the third grade at Tapwater Springs Elementary School. Every day, she wears an orange pinafore, and wears cloud pajamas, which are the only clothes it has shown her in. She lives with her mother and father, her older twin brothers, Mark and Derek, her baby sister, Lulu (who is referred to, most of the time, as "Baby Lulu"), and owns a brown, scruffy dog named King (who is a girl, by the way). She is quite a tomboy, enjoying playing baseball, eating pizza, showing off her tongue and other things rather than the girly manners. Angela repeats herself frequently, and usually refers to each person by both first and last names, even her friends. Angela also has a huge imagination, with every episode having the moment where she uses her imagination to create bizarre dreams with elements of the episode, where usually Nanette Manoir or her brothers get punished for what they did to her. Angela has a big feud with Nanette, who she calls "Ninny-Poo". It seems that Angela has a crush on Johnny Abatti, but both of them don't care about it and are glad just being friends most of the time.


Gina Lash

Angela’s best friend, Gina Lash is the most intelligent child in the third grade. Possessing an encyclopaedic knowledge and vocabulary impressive in someone so young, Gina is always there to dispense reason and insight to her friends, although she will participate in whatever crazy scheme her friends are cooking up. Gina shares many interests with her friends, but her thirst for knowledge has led her to pursue a variety of other hobbies; she owns a microscope and other scientific paraphernalia. The other thing Gina is best known for is her appetite, which rivals that of any adult. She’s always hungry and can even fall prey to Nanette Manoir if she’s bribed with her gourmet chef’s cooking. Gina’s favourite foods include Abatti’s Pizza, cinnamon swirls and Tastee Swirl ice cream. Gina is in love with the Tastee Swirl mascot, a man with a whipped ice cream head who dispenses ice creams from his truck. Despite being rather big, Gina does not let jibes about her appearance affect her, remaining happy and confident. Gina lives with her mother, who seems to be single (until she begins dating a rather buff co-worker of hers). Her father is never mentioned on the show. Gina also owns a pet turtle called Sheldon who is a fan of carrots and one time had lent Sheldon to Angela for safekeeping. However Angela overfed Sheldon with too many carrots, and had to be rescued by Gordy before it was too late.


Johnny Abatti

Johnny is a sweet but dim child of Italian-American descent. His parents are never seen in the show, and he appears to be under the care of his grandmother and uncle Nicky. Regarded as being good looking, Johnny takes pride in his Elvis-inspired hairstyle, and is the object of a few crushes. Nanette tries to flirt with him and refers to him as “John” even though nobody else does. Johnny is privileged enough to be invited to exclusive Manoir events, usually bringing Gina, Angela and Gordy along, often against their will. Despite this preferential treatment, Johnny remains totally clueless about Nanette’s affections, even though he doesn’t seem to dislike her like Angela and Gina do. Although he won’t admit it, Johnny may have strong feelings for Angela, as he becomes resentful of any rival for her affections- in one episode he even sends her flowers but forgets to sign the tag, and the credit for his gift goes to Angela’s imaginary boyfriend Bob. Johnny likes to pick his nose and shoot spit balls at the teacher, Mrs. Brinks. An Italian American is an American of Italian descent. ...


Gordy Rhinehart

Gordy is a sensitive, asthmatic and rather feminine boy who prefers pressing flowers and writing poetry to "dangerous" playground activities like tag or hide and seek. Gordy, who wears large, square spectacles is skinny and physically weak, and is the polar opposite of his burly ex-army dad Coach Rhinehart, although their relationship is good and the Coach seems to enjoy his son’s strawberry soufflés. Gordy loves animals and is the proud owner of an immaculately groomed dog called Fabio. He is also an expert on pet care and will worry about the welfare of any animal entrusted to Angela. Gordy is can be a major germ freak, and even spent almost an entire episode with rubber gloves and a face mask and eventually refused to leave his house after looking at an eyelash under a microscope. Gordy is deep in love with Gina Lash, although his love goes unreciprocated.


Nanette Manoir

The richest kid in class, "Ninny-poo" (as Angela often calls her) is the teacher’s pet, despite being an average student. She is manipulative, and has managed to wrap Mrs. Brinks’ around her little finger, by constantly praising her and giving her gifts. The perfect little angel to adults, Nanette is actually spoiled, devious, cunning, snobby and mean, exercising the worst of her traits on Angela and her friends. A butt kissing, teacher loving, phony rich girl, she is very proud of her looks, constantly bouncing her golden locks and flicking her hair while her talents and interests are a "posh" variety of extracurricular activities such as baton twirling, ballet, painting and ice skating. Nanette uses her family’s wealth and status as a way of proving that she’s better than her peers. Because of her French last name, Nanette likes to believe that she’s 100% French and frequently sprinkles her conversation with inaccurate French phrases, explaining their meaning incorrectly (she believes “pomme de terre” is French for “apple polisher” ("pomme de terre" is French for "potato")) and Crepes Suzette is French for "overpriced pancake". If "Nanette Manure" (another name Angela sometimes calls her) is really French and not faking it like Angela believes...nay, knows she is, she is at least 3rd generation, as she and both her parents have American accents. Nanette has a huge wardrobe full of designer originals, but nearly always wears a French girls’ school uniform to school, complete with beret. She also owns a poodle named Ooh La La, who, quite surprisingly, is a boy, and has a personal butler named Alfredo. “Spoiled” redirects here. ... A snob, guilty of snobbery, is a person that adopts the world-view that other people are inherently inferior for any one of a variety of reasons including supposed intellect, wealth, education, ancestry, etc. ... Binomial name Solanum tuberosum L. The potato (Solanum tuberosum) is a perennial plant of the Solanaceae, or nightshade, family, commonly grown for its starchy tuber. ... Crêpe Suzette is a typical French and Belgian dessert, consisting of a crêpe with an hot sauce of caramelised sugar, orange juice, lightly grated orange peel and liqueur (usually Grand Marnier) on top, which is subsequently lit. ... Two pancakes with maple syrup. ... Animal manure is often a mixture of animals feces and bedding straw, as in this example from a stable. ...


January and Karlene

Nicknamed the “Copycat Clone Club” by Angela, January Cole and Karlene Trainor are Nanette’s best friends (i.e. servants) and follow her around wherever she goes. Sporting bouffant hairdos, preppy clothing and beauty moles, they are very concerned with their appearance and look to Nanette for fashion guidance. When Nanette makes a statement, one girl (January) instantly says she agrees, then the other (Karlene) says she agrees with it even more. When Nanette was bedridden with a head cold, they found themselves bereft of a leader and instantly latched onto Angela, who had the high status job of organising the school’s float in a parade. January and Karlene then proved themselves as disloyal to Nanette, willing to sell her out to be “somebodies”.


Josephine Praline

A devout Christian, Josephine acts as a moral rudder for many a classmate in need. She’s sweet and forgiving, but stern when she sees injustice, and has even set up her own confession booth in the girl's washroom, where her friends can come to talk to her about issues they’re worried about. Josephine urges Angela to see the good in Nanette instead of hating her, but is surprised when she can’t find any good qualities herself. Josephine frequently offers up praise and sometimes even glows with a heavenly, serene light. Josephine comes from a large family (at least 19 brothers and sisters), and her mother is so scared that the outside world is dangerous and full of sin, that she won't even leave her own house.


Candy May

Candy May is an incredibly dim child so dim in that in one episode where she was secret santa she found a bottle of eau de toilette in the girls bathroom that she gave to Angela who then gave the perfume to Nanette (Nanette didn't know that the perfume was toilet water). She appears to have cut her hair herself and wears a shirt with a unicorn decal. She hesitates a lot, draws her words out and often confuses herself. She isn’t allowed near sharp objects and loves playing with glitter and paste. She also seems to be older than the other kids, since she's the tallest child in the classroom.


Mrs. Brinks

Dedicated third grade teacher, Mrs. Brinks is an eccentric middle aged woman with a rather masculine voice and large manly hands. Although she’s not a bad teacher, she’s easily manipulated and plays favourites, her veto always falling in favour of Nanette, whom she sees as the perfect little girl, which resulted in her developing a bias against Angela. Something of a snob, Mrs. Brinks likes to believe she’s sophisticated and succumbs easily to flattery. Although she usually sees Angela as a bizarre, troublemaking and wayward girl, she soon makes her top of the class when she believes Angela’s poem about her dog is about her. She wears a huge grey beehive wig which hides her short ginger hair and is rumoured to be a weekend nudist with her husband, Connie Brinks, who, incedently, is a rather frail, generous man, the exact opposite to his wife. Angela and her gang often spy on her backyard from their tree house to find out if this rumour is true. Later in the series, this rumour is confirmed as true when Angela tricks Nanette into going in to the backyard.

Grandma Lou: Resident of Florida, it’s easy to see where Angela got her imagination and sense of adventure. She lives in a swamp full of crocodiles, and even has a pet croc, Barney.

At one point, King had a litter of puppies, one which Angela named King II. King II ended up being owned by Mrs. Brinks, who renamed her Princess (much to Angela's chagrin).

Barney: Grandma Lou's fearsome pet alligator, whom she hatched from an egg. Most people see him as a huge, scaley killer, but to her he's harmless and as cute as any puppy.

Alfredo: The Manoir's sleek looking butler, he is usually seen driving Nanette around in their town car limousine or aiding her in various schemes and activities. While he doesn't say much, he is devoted to the Manoirs and acts as bodyguard to Nanette. However, it may be implied that he doesn't like the Manoirs all that much, as when the spring parade is over, and a fire truck Nanette rented for it is no longer hers, the fire fighters drive off at high speeds with her on it. When this happens, Alfredo just covers his mouth and laughs at Nanette's misfortune. Engine 4 - City of Chico, CA A Fire Engine is one of many specialized fire suppression apparatuses. ...

CiCi le Creme A French foreign exchange student from Paris, this Nanette lookalike (except with a short brunette French bob and French traveling dress) came to live with the Anacondas. However, after Angela's attempts to use CiCi to prove Nanette's assumed French heritage are phony failed, Angela becomes frustrated by CiCi and Nanette's friendship. Then, when CiCi asks Angela to be a sister to her and allow her to have Nanette and the CopyCats over for a sleepover, Angela is horrified. The group destroy Angela's room while Nanette complains about a flea problem in the Anaconda residence. Not wanting to be there any longer, Nanette then reveals that she too had a foreign exchange student from Sweden (an Angela lookalike) who did not fit in with the Manoirs' elegant lifestyle. The two students switch residences, much to the happiness of both families.


Prince Abdul Sadin Aballasalidini An very wealthy Arab prince who visited TapWater Springs Elementary for one day. A very supercilious child, Mrs. Brinks quickly wished to have him as far away from her classroom as possible. So she had the students draw straws to see who would be his guide. Angela ended up tricking Johnny Abatti with a fake Salami and Pickles sandwich (it was actually baloney with no pickles) to get the longest straw. The Prince, who was enraptured with Nanette and her "hair like spools of golden thread", was displeased with Angela. After he quickly ditches Angela to be with Nanette and Carlene and January, Johnny begins harassing Angela about the sandwich. This catches the Prince's attention who begins making fun of Johnny. Johnny threatens to fight the Prince, who has his bodyguard toss Johnny in a garbage can ("Good riddance to bad rubbish"). This enrages Angela who tackles the Prince. Seeing Angela as the "superior one" due to her anger and passion, he asks her hand in marriage. Angela considers the offer as she would become a wealthy princess, but she quickly decides the food, clothing, and activities involved in being an Arab princess are not to her liking (she wouldn't be able to watch TV, would have to wear robes, wouldn't be allowed to drive, and instead would only be carried everywhere, and only allowed to eat caviar). After one of her imagination sequences, the Prince watches Angela gag at the last thought and decides he does not want to "pollute the gene pool". He leaves the school in his helicopter as a sad Nanette bids him farewell, at that point, he rejects her because the helicopter blades are blowing strong winds everywhere, messing up her hair.

Mrs. Lash The beautiful single mother of Gina Lash, this sensual woman frequently goes on "business trips" with handsome male associates. At one point, Mrs. Lash and Coach Rhinehart had a brief romance, much to the fear of Gordy and Gina.


Jimmy Jamal An African American boy in Angela's class, he is frequently seen playing his gameboy (called a slamboy in Angela's world) and talking about his Turbo Trainers, which make him run very fast. One time he went to a silent training cousre for soccer and gave the slamboy to Angela but Nanette stole the batteries so Angela tried to make it back to the same level but went further than Jimmy did at all. He is the son of the mayor of Tapwater Springs. At one point he and Johnny Abatti became bug-themed superheroes while trying to solve the mystery of the disappearance of Sherman the class chicken. He also played Zeus, king of the Gods, for Nanette's Greek tragedy.


Mayor Jamal The father of Jimmy, not much is seen of the mayor of Tapwater Springs.

Mr. Mooie The ventriloquist dummy originally owned by Bill Anaconda, his mesmorizing charm makes his audience love the dummy more than the person controlling him. Angela felt a raise in popularity when she showed Mr. Mooie for show and tell, but soon realized the kids only like Mr. Mooie, not her. She threw him into the dumpster, but his eyes opened, in a Chucky-esque fashion.


Cafeteria Worker This burly hairy man prepares and serves lunch to the students of Tapwater Elementary. He is famous for his Jiggly Fruit, a favorite among the students.
