History Characters / PeanutsFriendsAndClassmates

* ArtEvolution: As mentioned above, ''The Peanuts Movie'' design gives her blonde hair instead of being a brunette to avoid confusion for the ''other'' Patty. This design also changed her dress and hairbow color from red to shades of green. Really, the only consistent design feature is her cross-hatch pattern on their clothing.

* ArtEvolution: ''WesternAnimation/ThePeanutsMovie'' does a good job on keeping her design from the strip largely the same, the notable exception being that her hair is a considerably lighter brown than what's usually depicted, and that they wear pants, not shorts.

* TheGhost: She's almost always off-panel in the comic strip, and the one time she isn't, they are depicted as being covered in shadow. ''The Peanuts Movie'' plays with this: she's on-camera quite frequently, but [[TheFaceless her full face is obstructed]] for much of the runtime, often being seen from far away or having her back to the camera. She's only shown close-up in plain view in the last few minutes of the movie.
* InformedAttractiveness: When she makes an appearance in the movie and specials, she has roughly the same face model as the other children, with two separate appearances giving her the BlushSticker treatment to set her apart from the others. ''The Peanuts Movie'' does give her a largely unique hairstyle, and a smaller, pointier nose to set them apart from everyone else.

* ADayInTheLimelight: He will be starring in the upcoming special, ''Snoopy Presents: Welcome Home, Franklin''.

* NoSocialSkills: He spends all of camp facing a wall and ordering everyone who talks to him to shut up and leave him alone away.

Introduced in 1951, Schroeder started off as a sarcastic, deadpan little boy until Charlie Brown introduced him to the toy piano, after which he gradually evolved into the musical prodigy and [[Music/LudwigVanBeethoven Beethoven]] fanboy he is today. Lucy often tries to hit on him, to little success. He is also set as the catcher on the gang's baseball team.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Olaf is the only sibling who is fat. Many of the siblings also have eyes that are perpetually [[SphereEyes spherical.]]

* ArtEvolution: ''WesternAnimation/ThePeanutsMovie'' has her translated to [=3D CG=] pretty faithfully, the exception being her shorts, which are now pants.

* ADayInTheLimelight:Marcie is the main character in Snoopy Presents: One-of-a-Kind Marcie.

* ADayInTheLimelight:The upcoming special Snoopy Presents:Welcome Home, Franklin.

* TokenMinority: The only reason he existed, although Schulz himself insisted that Franklin's race was immaterial to his creation. Schulz got in a fair bit of trouble at the time for including a black character: several readers (mostly in the DeepSouth) wrote to him and his editors, angrily demanding Franklin not be shown interacting with the rest of the (white) cast due to the "controversy" of it. When Schulz ignored the complaints, some Southern papers dropped the strip in protest.

* ReplacementFlatCharacter: Downplayed, since Sally wasn't written out of the comic, but Eudora does qualify due to her embodying Sally's early characteristics that Sally grew from.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Olaf is the only sibling who is fat and has his eyes perpetually [[SphereEyes spherical.]]

* AdaptionalJerkass: For some reason, some of the Peanuts animated media liked to crank her temper more than the strip. This has led to moments like the entirety of Race For Your Life, Charlie Brown, where she was way more bossy, yelling, and forcing all the boys to sleep in the snow.
** Thankfully, this seems to have been corrected in recent Peanuts animated cartoons/specials, making her more nicer side be shown.* BerserkerTears: In a 1972 storyline, when she met the Little Red-Haired Girl at summer camp and was so overcome with self-hatred as a result that she began crying hysterically. The outburst got Charlie Brown sent home early, since his name was mentioned and the counselors figured he was to blame.

The outburst got Charlie Brown sent home early, since his name was mentioned and the counselors figured he was to blame.

* ArtEvolution: Due to lacking a design in the strip (only being shown in silhouette form at most, see right), her design tended to vary across the TV specials, usually having (though not always) a pointy nose, long-flowing red hair, while they wore a red or pink dress. Now a SubvertedTrope, as following ''WesternAnimation/ThePeanutsMovie'', her design has been made more consistent and solidified. The movie largely dropped the pink ColorMotif in favor of turquoise clothing, she now has short red hair with curls at the front, a pointy nose, while wearing a hairband of some kind, with all post-2015 ''Peanuts'' media now taking after this design specifically, something ''WesternAnimation/TheSnoopyShow'' further exemplifies.

* SatelliteLoveInterest: In the comics and specials, she had only one trait; just being somebody for Charlie Brown to dote on. In the strip, the most we ever see of them is a shadow. The 2015 movie makes a concerted effort to avert this trope, giving her a kind personality, being soft spoken, and is actually frequently seen on-screen, albeit mostly as TheFaceless.

* UnseenNoMore: While she's mostly kept off-screen or off-panel back in the animated specials and comic strips, her fairly important role in ''The Peanuts Movie'' has made her main character trait of being TheGhost something of TheArtifact. The advertising for the movie had several unobscured portrait renders of her in promotional materials, ''Snoopy's Town Tale'' (a mobile tie-in made to advertise the film) has them as a character, and even ''The Snoopy Show'' features her, albeit as TheFaceless, in one episode. So while she's meant to be TheGhost, she oftentimes isn't portrayed as such.

* CharacterDerailment[=/=]{{Flanderization}}: Peggy provides an accidental example. She started off as a (slightly) tomboyish character but was [[GirlinessUpgrade changed to a more feminine character]] in ''Snoopy's Town Tale''.

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: This is her role in ''The Peanuts Movie''. [[spoiler:She becomes Charlie Brown's summer pen pal not out of pity, but because he's a genuinely good person that she likes and respects becuase he'll go out of his way to humiliate himself if it makes someone else happy]].

* ArtEvolution: Due to lacking a design in the strip (only being shown in silhouette form at most, see right), her design tended to vary across the TV specials, usually having (though not always) a pointy nose, long-flowing red hair, while they wore a red or pink dress. Now Subverted, as following ''WesternAnimation/ThePeanutsMovie'', her design has been made more consistent and solidified. The movie has largely dropped the pink ColorMotif in favor of turquoise clothing, short red hair with curls at the front, while wearing a hairband of some kind, with all post-2015 ''Peanuts'' media now taking after this design specifically, something ''WesternAnimation/TheSnoopyShow'' further exemplifies.

* InformedAttractiveness: She has never been shown in the comic strips, but has appeared a handful of times in the various animated specials. Most of the time, she has roughly the same face model as the other children, with two separate appearances giving her the BlushSticker treatment to set her apart from the others. ''The Peanuts Movie'' does a similar thing, just with a smaller, pointier nose.

* NiceGirl: She comes across as this in ''The Peanuts Movie. Generally polite to people around her, soft-spoken, and never makes fun of Charlie, even when he messes up. [[spoiler:At the end, she chooses him as her summer pen pal, not because she feels pity for him, but [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan because she genuinely respects him for his kind and honest personality]].]]

* SatelliteLoveInterest: In the comics and specials (at least up until the 2015 movie), she had no traits other just being somebody for Charlie Brown to dote on. In the strip, the most we ever see is a shadow of her.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: This is her role in ''The Peanuts Movie''. [[spoiler:She becomes Charlie Brown's summer pen pal not out of pity, but because he's a genuinely good person that she likes and respects]].
* UnseenNoMore: While she's mostly kept off-screen or off-panel back in the animated specials and comic strips, her fairly important role in ''The Peanuts Movie'' has made her main character trait of being TheFaceless something of TheArtefact. The advertising for the movie uses several renders of her in promotional materials, ''Snoopy's Town Tale'' (a mobile game made to advertise the film) has them as a character, and even ''The Snoopy Show'' features her as TheFaceless in one episode, So while she's often meant to be TheGhost, she oftentimes isn't.

* ArtEvolution: Due to lacking a design in the strip (only being shown in silhouette form at most, see above), her design tended to vary across the TV specials, the only real consistent feature of hers being that she, of course, has red hair. Now Subverted, as following ''WesternAnimation/ThePeanutsMovie'', her design is more consistent and solidified; turquoise clothing, short red hair with front curls, and a hairband of some kind, with pretty much every piece of media now featuring her taking after this design specifically.

* TheGhost: She's almost always off-panel in the comic strip, and the one time she isn't, they are depicted as being covered in shadow. ''WesternAnimation/ThePeanutsMovie'' plays with this: she's on-camera quite frequently, but [[TheFaceless her face is always obstructed]] or she's being seen from far away -- or she has her back to the camera. She's only shown close-up in plain view in the last few minutes.

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: This is her role in ''WesternAnimation/ThePeanutsMovie''. [[spoiler:She becomes Charlie Brown's summer pen pal not out of pity, but because he's a genuinely good person that she likes and respects]].
* UnseenNoMore: Even if it's known Charlie Brown has a crush on her, the Little Red-Haired Girl never appears in the comic strips to confront him about it. She does appear a few times in animated adaptations, and her current design is based on her movie appearance.
