Me!
(Best read in Cheryl Chase's or Patricia Acevedo's voice)Hiya, readers! I'm the most amazing and beautifulest girl in the world: Angelica Pickles! And this is my dolly, Cynthia.
My favouritest things to do are singing, dancing, watching Cynthia PI, eating (especially cookies) and scaring those dumb babies. What dumb babies, you ask? Well, my uncle Stu and aunt Didi have two sons named Tommy and Dil. Tommy is one and he is dumb enough, but Dil is only three months old and he can't even talk yet! Then, there's their friend Chuckie Finster who's a year older than Tommy but he's a real scaredy cat, Chuckie's stepsister Kimi who's got an imagination bigger than the playground, and their friends Phil and Lil, who are twins Tommy's age and do disgusting things like eating bugs!
I hope one day to rule the world and never have to do anything I don't want ever, but unfortunately, the grownups are in charge, not me.
Teen!Angelica: Wow, was I really like that when I was young? ...Well, yeah, I guess.
Hey! What are you doing here?! This is supposed to be my page!
Teen!Angelica: Well get used to it, because I'm going to be here when the tropers get around to adding my tropes. And don't think I'm gonna fall for my own tricks! You got that?!
Um, okay. Gee, Cynthia. I guess she is a little like me.
Tropes about me
- Affectionate Nickname: My daddy calls me things like princess and cupcake. Who can blame him?
- Attention Whore: Woo, that's a naughty word, aren't I a cheeky one? Yes, I do want all attention on me all the time, because I deserve it!
- Baby Talk: Hey, I'm not a baby!! Well....I guess my English isn't a hundred percent perfect but I'm still NOT a baby! note
- Big Eater: Well, my tummy isn't bottomless, but do have a big appetite. Phil once even said I'm a bigger eater than Reptar.
- The Bully: I'm not a bully! Well, I suppose I do sometimes bully those dumb babies.
- Butt-Monkey: Who you calling a monkey's butt?!
- Character Catchphrase: Mine is You (dumb) babies!
- Child Hater: I hate children, especially those stupid babies! What?! I'm a child too?! Well duh! But the difference is that I'm not nearly as stupid as those babies.
- Cute, but Cacophonic: Hey! My voice is NOT annoying! My daddy says I have a wonderful voice!
- The Dreaded: Most of those babies are usually scared of me, including their so called fearless leader Tommy.
- Does Not Like Spam: I'll eat anything except broccoli, that's yucky!
- Embarrassing Damp Sheets: I wetted the bed the night that Chuckie got potty-trained! That's not fair!
- Enemy Mine: There was a point where I had to work with those dumb babies to get a giant ice cream by playing mini golf, and I even shared it with them.
- Even Evil Has Standards: As much of a scaredy-cat Chuckie is, I'm not gonna pick on him when it comes to his mommy. I may not be the nicest kid, but picking on kids with no mommies is just low.
- I also hate when other people like Josh or Coco bully those babies. They're MY babies and I get to do whatever I want with them!
- I will also never become a thief like how I was accused of stealing a tricycle.
- Girlish Pigtails: I'm a little girl with pigtails.
- Girls Love Chocolate: Well, I'm a girl and I definitely love chocolate! It's not just a girl thing, though. Just ask Tommy and Chuckie.
- Growing Up Sucks: When I had my birthday, I didn't want to grow up and have sponsibileries like my mommy and daddy, so I decided to dress and act like a baby. Unfortunately, I soon found out that babies can't do anything fun; they can't eat candy, they drink from a bottle, and they have to wear yucky diapers! In the end, I decided that being a big kid was much better than being a baby.
- Hypocritical Heartwarming: Don't ever try to hurt my dumb babies. Only I can mess up with them, and, again, I'd never actually hurt them.
- Hypocritical Humour: One time, I said I wasn't bossy and then I yelled at the babies to stop what they were doing, so then I admitted that maybe I was a bit bossy.
- Innocent Swearing: One time, I hearded Miss Carol say that her new Fun Phrase was a naughty word. I didn't know it was naughty so I said it anyway and got into big trouble!
- Insane Troll Logic: Okay, I admit it, sometimes the lies I tell don't make much sense. Like the time I convinced the babies the world had ended in the past and I'd seen it happen.
- Jerkass to One: My favourite dumb baby to torment is Chuckie, as he is such a scaredy-cat and is very easy to trick and do my bidding.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Hey, I'm not a jerk! Well...I admit I'm a little mean, but the babies are actually my friends (but don't tell anyone).
- Karma Houdini: Well, I admit that I do sometimes get into trouble, but not usually! After all, I'm Angelica. note
- Large Ham: People say that I'm dramatic but really I'm just the bestest girl in the world!
- Laser-Guided Karma: Okay there was that one time I was tricked by that crazy Coco lady in keeping the dumb babies out of the way so she can marry Finster's dad only to learn I got the poop end of the deal.
- Last-Name Basis: Sometimes, though not always, I call Chuckie by his lastest name.
- Limited Wardrobe: If you see me, I'll always be wearing purple bows, a grey dress and dark blue tights with green spots, unless I'm swimming or sleeping or it's winter or something.
- Mysterious Middle Initial: I'm Angelica C. Pickles, but I'm not telling ya what the "C" is for.
- No Matter How Much I Beg: One time, I gotted sick from eating too many cookies and so I tolded the babies not to let me eat any more, no matter how much I begged or cried. It didn't work, though.
- Out-of-Character Moment: That time when I got stage fright tying Chuckie's shoes. I normally want everyone to watch me, so who knows why I had that.
- Performance Anxiety: I did get stage fright that time I tried to tie Finster's shoes but usually I never get it!
- Potty Failure: There was that one time when I wetted the bed, but apart from that, I don't wet my pants 'cause I'm a big girl!
- The Shrink: Well, not really, but one time I did try to be a happiness doctor, but it didn't work out.
- Smug Snake: Those dumb babies think I'm arrogant just because I think I'm way cooler than them.
- Spoiled Brat: My mommy and daddy don't always give me whatever I want, but they usually do! What less do I deserve?
- Sweet Tooth: I have a whole mouthful of them! Give me ice cream, chocolate pie, cake, candy...but especially cookies!
- Trademark Favorite Food: COOKIES!!
Tropes about big me
- All Love Is Unrequited: I swooned over a boy named Sean, but he doesn't even know I exist. A more noteable example, maybe, is in "What's Love Got to do With It?" where I fall for my substitute teacher, of course, there's absolutely no hope for me, and the episode ends with me crying.
- Anti-Hero: I'm not as mean as I was when I was a kid and I'm portrayed more sympathetically, but I can still be self-centered and rude at times.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: note As always, I pretend to act nicer than I really am. It's a bit easier these days since, well, I'm actually a little bit nicer than before.
- Break the Haughty: I go through this phase whenever Savannah humiliates me or deliberately brings me misery. I think it's the universe getting back at me.
- Deadpan Snarker: Usually around Susie.
- Depending on the Writer: I tend to flip-flop between being a Jerk with a Heart of Gold and a Tsundere a lot.
- Dreadful Musician: I'm still horribly tone-deaf. In later seasons, however, I show some improvement; in 'Interview with a Campfire' I, along with most of the other characters, performed in a musical, and even if I'm not the best singer, don't do it too bad either; also, when I managed to participate in a talents show without Susie entering it, I won first place. Remarkably, it seems I bring out my best when doing it as part of a chorus or group rather than when doing a solo.
- Evil Virtues: Much of my Character Development comes from my learning how to use my flaws in more positive ways, especially The Trickster and Determinator aspects of my personality. Many times Susie, who's usually The Ace in this duo, is very impressed at my achievements, especially with things Susie had actually failed to accomplish (like defeating Debate champions, kids so smart that actually intimidate her) or does it in a much lower level, as it happened when Susie asked me to help her with a charity collect; working at the same area and time, Susie collected less than a hundred dollars while I, by using persuasion and guilt-tripping, got over six hundred dollars in cash and a certified check.
- Green-Eyed Monster: I want nothing more than to upstage Susie, and I will pull every trick in the book to do so... except stuff that might get her injured. I might resent and envy Susie but, even at my worst, I'd never hurt her on purpose.
- Hypocritical Heartwarming : I might offend, tease, and overall antagonize my cousins and friends on a regular basis, but I'll get fiercely defensive of them if anyone else does it.
- It's All About Me: Some things never change. I'm still very egocentric.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While still kind of mean, I'm more compassionate and kindhearted this time around.
- Large Ham: I'd take any opportunity to be the star of the show.
- Lovable Alpha Bitch: note I have all the makings of a mean-spirited clique leader, but still have moments of being considerate and selfless. note
- Odd Couple: My friendship with Susie and the Ship Tease with Finster. Really, Internet?
- Remarkably, I often get Chuckie's help for my projects and plans but, unlike the original series, when I just forced him to help via intimidation, here we're become more-or-less equal partners, with both of us gaining something from the bargain, and in fact when one seeks the other's help, we do it very business-like, as a Pro Bono Barter. Even if it's often a Leonine Contract on my side, I always stick to my part of the deal. and at times I actually accept to help him without asking for any (on screen) reward... Heh, guess that's why there's so much ship-tease between us; I admit I have a bit of a soft spot for him.
- Pet the Dog: I get attached to a baby ostrich in "Dude, Where's My Horse?" Don't judge me!
- The Shrink: I run an advice column, and I'm a borderline Type 1.
- Spoiled Brat: I'm still spoiled, but my parents have gotten wise to the game. note
- Tsundere: At times. That Pataki girl ain't the only one who can give those anime girls a run for their money with this trope. The friends and cousins I mess up on a regular basis? I'd do anything to protect them if necessary.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: With Susie. On the one hand, I'm still incredibly resentful towards Susie's talent and we're often at odds. On the other hand, I do care... deep down... and I'm clearly a lot closer to her than to the popular kids, with which my relationship is knowingly superficial. When at one point Susie risked her life (seriously, Carmichael, what were you thinking?), I did the same to try and save her, and I even carried with all the blame of the incident even if it was one of those rare times when I did nothing wrong.
