5	-->'''Voiced by:''' Finty Williams (2002); Charlotte Spencer (2009)
6
7	The main character, a little mouse girl that wants to be a ballerina. Debuts in the titular book ''Angelina Ballerina.''
8	-----
9	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In "Angelina's Surprise", she's upset was that the Pinkpaws had a little brother. By the time "Angelina's Baby Sister" rolls around, she wishes that Matilda (her mother) ''didn't'' have a baby and wants to take Polly back to the baby shop.
10	* CharacterCatchphrase: in the animated series: "I'm Angelina Ballerina, and (the plot)" and "Hoop-dee-doo!".
11	* CoolBigSis: To Polly in ''Angelina's Halloween''; she wants to be part of the group costume that Angelina and Alice are doing, but ends up as a BedsheetGhost instead because Angelina doesn't want her copying her.
12	%%* TheDitz: From time to time.
13	* DramaQueen: In the first series of ''Angelina Ballerina'', she'd whine a lot when something doesn't go her way, and was pretty much prone to hysterics when under stress. This was toned down in ''The Next Steps'', though.
14	* FullNameBasis: In the ''The Next Steps'', Polly would sometimes call her "Angelina Ballerina"--which isn't her given name.
15	* GreenEyedMonster: One of her biggest personality flaws is jealousy.
16	* HairTriggerTemper: She has a very sweet, friendly personality, but also has a fiery temper and a very stubborn nature when she's upset, which Sammy and William have discovered on the days when they get on her bad side.
17	* ItsAllAboutMe: Angelina can be very self-centered and focused only on herself. This was more emphasized in the episode "Anya's Visit", as she lashed out at Anya because Miss Lily opted to take the former to ballet instead of her.
18	* PinkMeansFeminine: Her bow and tutu are both pale pink. Her fur changes to pink in the 2009 series.
19	* ProneToTears: Often falls apart into tears when things go wrong in the original series. This is non-existent in the 2009 reboot.
20	* SheIsAllGrownUp:
21	** In the DistantFinale of the first book, she is shown as an adult professional dancer.
22	** In the 2009 incarnation, she appears to be a pre-adolescent.
23	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The girly girl to Alice's tomboy, as she prefers ballet and wears pink all the time.
24	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cheddar cheese pies, especially her mother's.
25
26	!!Miss Lily
27	-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JudiDench
28
29	Angelina's ballet teacher, first introduced in ''Angelina Ballerina.''
30	-----
31	* CoolTeacher: She's nice and charismatic with her students, and in several books escorts Angelina to her performances.
32	* PutOnABus: She had this happen to her when ''The Next Steps'' rolled around and Angelina moved to a new school.
33	* FantasyCounterpartCulture: In the animated shows she's from "Dacovia" and, from what we've seen, she's meant to be the show's equivalent of someone from Eastern Europe or Russia.
34
35	!!Alice Nimbletoes
36	-->'''Voiced by:''' Jo Wyatt (2002); Creator/NaomiMcDonald (2009)
37
38	Angelina's best friend, first introduced in ''Angelina and Alice''.
39	----
40	* BigEater: Downplayed but, in much of the episodes she's in, she tends to eating.
41	%%* TheLancer
42	* MeaningfulName: "Nimble" means quick. Therefore, she's quick with her toes.
43	* SweetTooth: Often seen munching on sweet snacks.
44	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The tomboy to Angelina's girly girl, with herself preferring gymnastics over ballet and wearing green.
45	* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She is usually more tomboyish in comparison to Angelina, but wears a green bow on her head.
46
47	!!Henry Mouseling
48
49	Alice's young male cousin, who often ends up part of her adventures.
50	-----
51	* TagalongKid: Especially in the books. Many of Angelina's adventures involve him coming along with her for the day, sometimes when she'd rather leave him behind.
52
53	!!Polly Mouseling
54	-->'''Voiced by:''' Leah Zabari (2009)
55
56	Angelina's little sister, who was born in the book and episode ''Angelina's Baby Sister.''
57	----
58	* AdaptationDyeJob: In the 2009 series, she has white fur instead of the dark grey she was born with (which was later made brown).
59	* AgeLift: In ''The Next Steps'', she's four.
60	* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: When she first debuted, Angelina couldn't stand her crying or how she got more attention. She also is considered this when she wants to be part of Angelina's costume with Alice in ''Angelina's Halloween''.
61	* CheerfulChild: She's always happy.

63
64	[[folder:From the Animated Adaptations]]
65	!! William Longtail
66	-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KeithWickham
67
68	A friend of Angelina's, who has a crush on her.
69	----
70	* ExtremeDoormat: William has a very passive, soft-spoken nature, and he's frequently shown to have trouble standing up for himself, which leads to him being easily influenced for the worst, or letting kids like Sammy walk all over him.
71	* TheOneGuy: He's one of the only boys in Angelina's ballet class, who deeply loves the sport, though sometimes he feels self-conscious about it.
72	* RealMenWearPink: He takes ballet along with the girls.
73	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Sensitive Guy to Sammy's Manly Man.
74
75	!!Sammy Watts
76	-->'''Voiced by:''' Jo Wyatt
77
78	A grey boy mouse who wears a hat.
79
80	While he first appeared in the book ''Angelina Ice Skates'', he was not expanded on until the 2001 animate series.
81	------
82	* TheBully: Sammy has quite the mean streak to him, and he enjoys mocking the other kids for their perceived weaknesses and inadequacies. William tends to get the worst of his bullying for being a boy who loves ballet and mostly hangs out with girls.
83	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite keeping up a tough front, Sammy does prove himself to be a decent kid on occasion, who will admit to being wrong and do the right thing out of gratitude or his conscience getting the better of him. Stories like ''Angelina's Princess Dance'' also make it apparent that Angelina and her friends consider Sammy to be more of a nuisance or a frenemy than an actual bully.
84	* LaserGuidedKarma: In "The Cheese Ball Cup Final", Sammy and his pals mock William for loving ballet instead of playing a more manly sport, so William, feeling embarrassed, decides to drop out of his classes and join their Cheeseball team so he can prove himself. From there, Sammy picks on him even further for being a terrible player. Eventually, Sammy's foot breaks right before a big game, so William has to stand in for him and manages to win his team the match by putting his dance moves to good use. Not only does Alice step right on Sammy's broken foot when she gets over-excited about William's victory, but he and his pals are forced to learn ballet as well by their coach when he's impressed by William's performance.
85	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly Man to William's Sensitive Guy.
86	* SitcomArchNemesis: Sammy and Angelina are constantly on each other's case about something, since Sammy is a troublemaker and Angelina is one of the few characters in the series who's always willing to stand up to him: comedic hijinks tend to ensue. A few episodes like ''Two Mice In A Boat'' and ''Show And Tell'' involve the kids having to put aside their differences for a change.
87	* WildCard: Sometimes Sammy likes to cause trouble on his own, other times he'll join the Pinkpaw twins in troublemaking, and a few times, he actually helps out Angelina and friends.
88
89	!!Pricilla and Penelope Pinkpaws
90	-->'''Voiced by:''' Jo Wyatt (Pricella), Jonell Elliott (Penelope)
91
92	Twin mice that pick on everyone around them (even each other).
93
94	-----
95	* AlliterativeName: Pricilla and Penelope Pinkpaws.
96	* TheBully: They mostly pick on Angelina and Alice.
97	* CoordinatedClothes: In a sense, as they wear wear purple and lilac.
98	* DeadpanSnarker: Much of their dialog is this and it's combined with PassiveAggressiveKombat.
99	* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: They don't wear pink, which Priscilla points out in "The Ballet Tickets".
100	* IdenticalTwinIDTag: Doubling as a subtle ColorCodedForYourConvenience, Priscilla wears a purple bow and her sister Penelope wears a lilac one. Their tutus, however, are in the color of the opposite's bow.
101	* RichBitch: Some details imply they're from a more well-off family, which adds to their nastiness towards everyone.
102	* TheRival: To Angelina, as, besides being so mean, they aren't as talented as Angelina.
103	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Puns aside, in the last special of the original series "All Dancers On Deck", they find that they brought everything they own for the trip to the Dacovia except their costumes for the ballet and spend the entire special trying to figure out how to get them, even going as far as trying to call home on the ship-to-shore radio (only to break it and make it look like Angelina did it). But when they confess to Miss Lilly that they forgot to pack their costumes, they [[FreudianSlip accidentally confess that they tampered with the radio]] and try to give a VerbalBackspace, which Miss Lilly doesn't buy for even a second. After that, they're not seen or mentioned for the rest of the special. It's likely they had to sit out from participating in the ballet because they didn't have their costumes ''and'' got in trouble for messing with the radio.
104
105	!!Gracie
106	-->'''Voiced by:''' Jo Wyatt
107

109	* LovableAlphaBitch: Has a rivalry with Angelina, but besides her competitive nature she's really sweet.

112	%%Angelina's teacher in the sequel series.

116	%% * TheMentor
117	%%* TheSilentBob: In episode "Angelina's Musical Day", but she got better.
118
119	!!Anya Mouseoki
120	-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AdriennePosta
121
122	A mouse from a migrant family.
123	-----
124	* InformedSpecies: She looks more like a fancy mouse than an actual harvest mouse, however, this is justified.
125	* FantasyCounterpartCulture: She’s a “harvest mouse” (a nomadic group of mice who live in tents), which seems to be basically the show’s version of Travellers/Romani people.
126
