== Characters ==

=== Main ===
*Angela Anaconda (voiced by [[Sue Rose]])<ref name="Tate2007"/> is a [[tomboy]]ish, imaginative, [[freckle]]-faced eight-year-old girl who eschews the femininity commonly associated with other girls her age.<ref name="Gasek"/> She resides in the town of Tapwater Springs with her parents, two dimwitted older twin brothers Mark and Derek, her younger sister Lulu, and closest friends, Johnny Abatti, Gina Lash and Gordy Rhinehart. In every episode of the series, Angela will engage in at least one dream sequence. The majority of these feature her rivals Nanette Manoir and Mrs. Brinks, as Angela seeks vengeance on them in unrealistic ways. Angela often imagines unusual things happening to her enemies, especially Nanette, including getting tossed into the air during an ice routine and falling through the ice, or getting turned into a [[flashcard]], among other things.
*Johnny Abatti (voiced by [[Al Mukadam]])<ref name="Erickson2005"/> is a sweet but dim [[Italian Americans|Italian-American]] boy. His parents are never seen in the show and he appears to be under the care of his grandmother Carmella and uncle Nicky, the latter of whom often pressures Johnny into [[man]]hood (particularly in the episode "Johnny Learns to Swing"). Regarded as an attractive student, Johnny takes pride in his [[Pompadour (hairstyle)|pompadour hairstyle]]. Nanette Manoir harbours a crush on him and tries to flirt with him frequently, referring to him as "John" and inviting him to exclusive Manoir events. He normally brings Angela, Gina, and Gordy along against their will. Despite this preferential treatment, Johnny remains utterly clueless about Nanette's affections. Although he never admits it, Johnny may have strong feelings for Angela, as he becomes resentful of any rival for her affections. On Valentine's Day, Johnny sends Angela flowers but forgets to sign the attached card, accidentally giving the credit for his gift to Angela's imaginary boyfriend Bob. Johnny likes to pick his nose and shoot spit balls.
*Gina Lash (voiced by [[Bryn McAuley]])<ref name="Erickson2005"/> is the smartest child in her grade. Possessing encyclopedic knowledge, an impressive vocabulary, and a voracious appetite, Gina routinely dispenses reason and insight to her friends. However, she will always participate in whatever scheme they are partaking. 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]]. Gina is best known for her appetite, which rivals that of any adult. She is always hungry and can even fall prey to Nanette Manoir if she is bribed with her gourmet chef's cooking. Gina's favorite foods include Abatti's Pizza, cinnamon swirls, jiggly fruit, and Tastee Swirl ice cream. Gina worships the mascot for Tastee Swirl, a man with a whipped ice cream head who dispenses frozen treats from his truck to the local children. She also idolizes the maker of her favorite cupcake snack, Tiny Dottie, as a professional food entrepreneur she wants to be like. Gina lives with her mother, who is single (until she begins dating Gordy's father Coach Rhinehart). Her father is never seen or mentioned on the show, implying that her mother is divorced or widowed. Gina also owns a pet [[turtle]] named Sheldon who loves to eat carrots.
*Gordy Rhinehart (voiced by [[Edward Glen]])<ref name="Erickson2005"/> is a kind, sensitive, and artistic boy with [[asthma]] who prefers pressing flowers, housework, and writing poetry instead of "dangerous" activities like tag or hide-and-seek. He has a love of ballet and nature, and embraces all things pretty and lovely. He is best known for his many [[allergies]]. Gordy wears large, square spectacles and a blue vest. He is the complete opposite of his burly and macho ex-[[US Army|Army]] soldier father Coach Rhinehart. Despite being so unalike, their father/son relationship is very strong and they show genuine love and concern for one another. The coach enjoys the strawberry [[soufflé]]s, hand-embroidered towels, and pillow cases Gordy makes in his free time. Gordy loves animals and is the proud owner of an immaculately groomed dog named Fabio. He is an expert on pet care and worries about the welfare of any animal entrusted to Angela. Gordy spent almost an entire episode ("Gordy in a Plastic Bubble") wearing rubber gloves and a face mask, refusing to leave his house, after looking at an eyelash under a microscope. Gordy is deeply in love with Gina Lash.
*Nanette Manoir (voiced by Ruby Smith-Merovitz)<ref name="Erickson2005"/> is the [[wikt:teacher's pet|teacher's pet]] who speaks with a snobbish faux-French [[accent (sociolinguistics)|accent]]. Her hair is [[blonde|golden blonde]] and styled into long Victorian-style [[ringlet (haircut)|ringlets]] in emulation of her mother's look. Nanette's doting parents fail to see how rotten their daughter really acts at school, as she is spoiled and never punished for things which she does wrong. She is proud of her pampered looks, constantly bouncing her curled hair. Nanette's interests are a [[:wikt:posh|posh]] variety of activities such as [[Majorette (dancer)|baton twirling]], [[ballet]], painting, gymnastics, and [[ice skating]]. She uses her family's wealth and high status as a way of asserting her superiority over her classmates, especially Angela. Because of her French name and heritage, Nanette believes that she can actually understand and speak French. This belief is shared only by her mother, Bunny. She adds misapplied French phrases to most of her conversations, explaining their meanings incorrectly; for example, she believes "[[liaison (French)|liaison]]" (a close bond or connection) is French for "lesson", "[[crème brûlée]]" (singed cream) is French for "prove it", and "pomme de terre" (potato) is French for "apple polisher".
*Mrs. Ephigenia Brinks (voiced by Richard Binsley)<ref name="Erickson2005"/> is a middle-aged woman and a dedicated third grade teacher with a rather masculine voice. She wears a grey [[beehive (hairstyle)|beehive]] wig, which hides her short ginger hair, and dresses in a long-skirted [[nerd girl|schoolmarm]] dress. She is easily manipulated and plays favorites, her decisions always favoring Nanette. Mrs. Brinks dislikes Angela and is very strict and callous with her. Mrs. Brinks likes to believe that she is sophisticated and succumbs easily to flattery. She considers Angela a bizarre, troublemaking, and wayward girl and constantly punishes her. She and her long-suffering husband Connie are rumored to be weekend [[nudism|nudists]]. Angela and her gang often peer into the Brinks' backyard from Angela's [[tree house]] to find out if this rumor is true, though the show only shows Angela and her friends' reactions to what they see. In "Brinks of No Return", Mr. Brinks reveals that he and Mrs. Brinks used to have a very loving relationship before Nanette came into her life. In the episode "Earhart's Heirloom" Mrs. Brinks claims to have the [[compass]] of [[Amelia Earhart]] and promises to show it to the class if they behave for a month, only for them to discover that the compass is fake. Brinks has an [[artificial hip]] which prevents her from dancing.

=== Recurring ===
*Astronaut Bob (voiced by [[Robert Smith (Canadian actor)|Robert Smith]]) is the local hero of Tapwater Springs whom Angela and her friends lionize. As his name suggests, he was an [[astronaut]] presumably during the height of the [[Space Race]] who got to walk on the [[Moon]]. He currently spends his time as a volunteer for the town's space [[museum]], and lending his likeness to boxes of the [[Breakfast cereal|cereal]] Astro Nutties as well as other products and possessions.  
*Candy May (voiced by [[Linda Kash]]) is an incredibly dim child who appears to cut her own hair and wears a shirt with a [[unicorn]] decal on it. She has long red hair in a ribbon. She hesitates a lot, draws her words out, and often confuses herself. She is not allowed near sharp objects and loves playing with [[glitter]] and paste. She may be older than the other kids and is unsurprisingly the tallest child in the classroom, but this is due to being held back a year due to her low intelligence. Her presence is marked by a slow instrumental version of "[[Pop Goes the Weasel]]". 
*Carmella "Nonna" Abatti (voiced by Linda Kash) is Johnny's grandmother and chief proprietor of Abatti's Pizzeria. A talented cook and nurturer, Nonna is very hospitable to Johnny and his friends. She is also not afraid to speak her mind about things, particularly her son Nicky's lifestyle choices or Gina Lash's appetite. Additionally, Nonna is highly superstitious, most notably regarding "Chi Mallochio" (or, the evil eye), as evidenced when Nicky starts enjoying the success at the expense of Sabatto's, the town's rival pizzeria. In her younger days, she was good friends with Angela's Grandmother, Louisa.
*Coach Rhinehart (voiced by Robert Smith) is Gordy's hyper masculine father as well as a big sports enthusiast, ex-Army officer, football coach, Nature Survival Counselor, and  PE teacher of Tapwater Springs Elementary School. He speaks with a stereotypical coach/drill sergeant voice and is usually shown dressed in a bright orange [[tracksuit]]. Like Gina's mom, Coach Rhinehart's spouse is not shown implying he's either a widower, divorced, or living apart from his wife. He is the second of the Tapwater teachers to show anger at Nanette Manoir. In spite of being fiercely competitive and obsessed with physical activity of any kind, he is accepting of his son's personality and artistic interests, encouraging him to be himself, and not projecting his image of manhood onto him. His first name has never been revealed canonically.
*Conrad "Connie" Brinks  (voiced by Richard Binsley) is the henpecked husband of Ephegenia Brinks. In contrast to his wife, Conrad is skinny, soft-spoken, and even tempered. He is very loving and patient especially towards his wife, and dismisses her shouting with a resigned [[emasculation|"yes dear"]]. He secretly resents the relationship Nanette has with Mrs. Brinks, referring to her on one occasion as "little Naninski Buttinski". Conrad works for the town's [[public-access television]] station where he has pull enough to host a program for [[amateur radio|ham radio]] enthusiasts like himself, and once coached an ice skating class for the town's children. In his younger years Conrad was an avid [[bowling|bowler]] and allegedly the dreamiest boy in all of Tapwater Springs. He even used to go out with Johnny and Angela's grandmothers before meeting Mrs. Brinks. Like his wife, Conrad also is rumored to engage in weekend nudism.
*Howell (voiced by Robert Smith) and Bunny Manoir (voiced by [[Julie Lemieux]]) are the equally rich and vapid parents of Angela's primary nemesis Nanette Manoir. Though Nanette claims she is fully French, Howell speaks with a strong [[Massachusetts]] accent, a la [[John F. Kennedy]], while Bunny has a [[Southern American English|Southern accent]].  Howell works as a proprietor of a construction firm. Bunny spends her days presumably as a lady of leisure. Both are very overindulgent of their daughter, and most of the time they fail to notice let alone punish Nanette's rotten attitude. Much like their daughter, Howell and Bunny have little regard for William and Geneva Anaconda as people. 
*January Cole (voiced by Olivia Garratt) and Karlene Trainor (voiced by [[Annick Obonsawin]])<ref name="Erickson2005"/> are Nanette's servants who 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 (mainly about [[facials]] and [[makeup]]). Despite their unyielding devotion to Nanette, they are fickle. 
*Jimmy Jamal (voiced by Kevin Duhaney) is an athletic boy in Angela's class. He is frequently seen playing a handheld [[video game]] and talking about his Turbo Trainers, which make him run very fast. He is the son of the mayor of Tapwater Springs.
*Josephine Praline (voiced by [[Cara Pifko]]) is a devout [[Catholic]] who acts as a moral rudder for her classmates. She is loving and forgiving, but stern when she sees injustice. Josephine often refers to others as "my child". She set up a [[confessional]] in the girls' washroom, where her friends come to talk to her about their stresses and worries. She is well liked by her classmates, but Mrs. Brinks cares very little about her. Josephine urges Angela to learn to love her enemies and see the good in Nanette instead of hating her, but is surprised when she cannot find any good qualities herself. Josephine comes from a large family of at least nineteen brothers and sisters.   
*Mark and Derek Anaconda (both voiced by [[Rob Tinkler]]) are Angela's twin older brothers. Though physically and intellectually similar, Mark has blonde hair and wears a white [[Jersey (clothing)|Jersey]] with the number 14, while Derek brown hair and wears a plain orange shirt. Moreover, Derek's voice is higher than Mark's. Both of the brothers are the secondary antagonists of the show, constantly bullying and belittling Angela and her friends. Though dull-witted, each [[Roast (comedy)|roast]] their sister at every turn; [[High five|high-fiving]] and [[Headbutt|head-butting]] each other when one makes a particularly "witty" remark. They refer to nearly everyone as "dude" (regardless of the [[gender]] and/or [[social status]] of the individual in question) and tend to judge how good something is in life by acknowledging when things "rock"/"rule". Despite their irresponsibility and lack of interpersonal skills, Mark and Derek have held jobs at the town [[country club]] as [[caddie]]s and at a fast food eatery when they fail to pay for their meal. Both enjoy contact sports and are on the town football team, much to Coach Rhinehart's consternation. Their presence is marked by a [[heavy metal music|heavy metal]] riff vaguely similar to the common '[[Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah]]' chant, traditionally sung by children to mock others.    
*Nicholas "Uncle Nicky" Abatti (voiced by [[Ron Rubin (voice actor)|Ron Rubin]]) is Johnny's swinging [[bachelor]] uncle and co-owner of Abatti's Pizzeria. While generally good natured towards his nephew as well as Angela, Gina and Gordy, Uncle Nicky is also childish, and obsessed with fast women, faster cars, [[gambling]] and [[disco]]. His clothes usually consist of sunglasses, gold chains and [[leisure suit]]s. As a child he was known as a troublemaker in Mrs. Brinks' class; earning the nickname "Fancy Pants" and leaving his legacy in the form of an eternal [[spitball]]. Uncle Nicky is more often than not escorted by two nameless babes (a blonde on his left and a redhead on his right) wherever he goes, a testament to him being a ladies man. Despite this, he has been known to publicly express interest in Gina's mother, Elizabeth Lash. 
*William (voiced by [[Diego Matamoros]]) and Geneva Anaconda (voiced by [[Allegra Fulton]]) are the parents of Mark, Derek, Angela and Lulu Anaconda. Though Bill enjoys [[inventing]], none of his inventions have really taken off (save for the Food Rejuvenator 3000, whose potential success he [[sabotage]]d in the end out of fear that success would spoil his family). To make ends meet, he works as a salesman selling [[ceramic]] dancing pigs and expandable foam in a can. Geneva is a struggling artist who gets by on commissions and teaching positions at the community college. In spite of being busy with their respective jobs and financial situation, both are caring and provide Angela and her siblings with love and support.
