History Characters / OneHundredAndOneDalmatiansMultimediaHumans

* PsychoticManChild: Woman Child in this case. She is rather immature when she doesn't get her way. She threw a hissy fit when Roger refused to sell her the puppies.

* BadassBystander: This is his role in the film. He's just an ordinary truck driver who just happens to catch the brunt of Cruella's [[DrivesLikeCrazy road rage]] head on, all because the Dalmatians are all riding in the back of his moving van, something he isn't aware of. He still fights back against Cruella, unintentionally keeping her from getting at the puppies until Horace and Jasper accidentally run her off the road.

* TheDeterminator: Despite Cruella's aggressiveness, he fights her off as best as he can to keep her from toppling his van, even when she rams her car head on into the back of his truck, getting it stuck and sending the truck swerving out of control.

* AdaptationalVillainy: In the UsefulNotes/PlayStation videogame, he acts as an enemy who will attack Patch in the studio.
* BoundAndGagged: Suspended by his limbs from the floor and ceiling with Cruella throwing darts at him after he realises her true intentions.

-> '''Voiced By''': Martin Short

* BaldOfEvil: Has taken to wearing a wig, come the WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatianStreet era.

* BreakoutVillain: Easily the most iconic character to come out of ''101''. She remains the franchise's sole representative at the Disney Parks to this day, and is notably the second Disney Villain[[note]]Following fellow BreakOutVillain [[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty Maleficent]][[/note]] to receive [[Film/{{Cruella}} her own standalone film]].

* DrivesLikeCrazy: ''Big time.'' Both the animation and the live action. Her automobile is loud and she recklessly endangers both people and animals' lives. Most memorable is the scene in the animated film where she attempts to ram a truck carrying all of the dalmatians off the road. No wonder the poor truck driver calls her "a crazy woman driver".

* FalseFriend: Cruella was ''apparently'' one of Anita's old school chums - Heaven knows why, since she's an absolute terror even when she's trying to be ''friendly''. (In the original book, Mrs. Dearley admits to her husband that they weren't actually friends as children; they were just at school together and she was ''terrifed'' of Cruella.) Roger immediately takes a disliking to her and quickly (and correctly) assumes that she kidnapped the puppies.

* TheFashionista: And a thematic one, too! In the 1996 film, it’s sequel and ''Cruella'', she wears a different outfit in almost every scene she appears in.

* HairTriggerTemper: Her temper is terrible. She is easily enraged and infuriated, and yells all the time.

* KarmicButtMonkey: Cruella is often humilatied because of the puppies' antics, especially in the TV series. She has it coming due to being the main antagonist who hates puppies.

* HeroesLoveDogs: He ''melts'' at the sight of the Dalmatian puppies, and is horrified when he learns Cruella plan involving them.

* CigaretteAnxiety: Roger nervously smokes his pipe like a chimney (on every tick of the clock, no less) while the puppies are being born.

->'''Voiced by:''' Martha Wentworth (''101 Dalmatians''), Mary MacLeod (''Patch's London Adventure'' 2003 sequel), Charlotte Rae (''101 Dalmatians'' TV series), Russi Taylor (unknown)

* SupremeCook: According to Pongo, the food she cooks is excellent.

* CoolOldLady: A nice, motherly old housekeeper.

* NiceHat: Her white maid cap.

* ThrownDownAWell: In the sequel, Jasper and Horace tie her up and lower her into a well after having successfully kidnapped the puppies. Thankfully, she later reappears with the police and sells Jasper and Horace out to them.
* TookALevelInBadass: Downplayed. She doesn't win the tussle, but Nana shows ''far'' more wits in the sequel compared to the original movie, where she clubs Jasper and Horace with a frying pan and chases them around the farm after she catches them kidnapping the puppies again. She only gets subdued after they enter the pigs' den, where she gets knocked over and later tied down a well by the brothers.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: She is not afraid to stand up to Cruella, and put up quite a struggle with Horace and Jasper before they made off with the puppies.

* DamselOutOfDistress: With frying pan in hand "Now let those puppies go before I knock the ''stupid'' out of both of you!"

* HisNameReallyIsBarkeep: You'd be forgiven for thinking that Nanny is just her title, but it's actually her first name.

[[folder:The Truck Driver]]

* KarmaHoudini: Despite their AdaptationalVillainy, other than being involved in a car crash (which they survived without a scratch anyway) and a couple of slapstick scenes, Jasper and Horace never really get any comeuppance for their involvement in Cruella's schemes. In the original novel they went to jail (though admittedly for an unrelated crime -- they assaulted the man who came to take away their television, which they'd bought on credit and never paid for), but in the movie the last we see of them they're sitting in a ditch while Jasper tells a raging Cruella to "shaddap!"

* DrivenToMadness: Not that she could ever be described as sane to begin with, but in [[WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatiansIIPatchsLondonAdventure the sequel]] she goes so insane in her chase after the puppies that she ends up LaughingMad and thrown into the back of an asylum truck. She currently provides the page image.

* NiceHat: Both of them wear caps.

** In the 101 Dalmatian Street series, she looks [[FanDisservice even]] [[{{Gonk}} worse]] than in the movie. Putting it lightly, she makes ''[[{{WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove}} Yzma]]'' look like a beauty queen in comparison.

-> '''Jasper voiced by:''' J. Pat o'Malley (''101 Dalmatians''); Jan Rabson (''Escape from [=DeVil=] Manor'', ''Animated Storybook''); Creator/MichaelMcKean (''The Series''); Creator/MauriceLaMarche (current)

* VillainousBreakdown: During the climactic ChaseScene. This is especially acute after she accidentally drives her car into a ditch and, in driving it out, accidentally trashes it on some thorny brush. By now, she is plenty pissed off, and it's become clear that it's the dalmatians or her — and she doesn't care who gets in her way. She has yet another one after Jasper T-bones her, wrecking both their vehicles and her dreams of having a dalmatian coat.

* KnightOfCerebus: She's one for ''101 Dalmatian Street'', where she is immediately portrayed as a huge and dangerous threat, with no lightness beginning at all, and turns the cartoony silly show's season finale into an escape from death.

Lars is a major character from the sequel, Patch London adventure. He is an eccentric, spot-fixated artist who speaks with a French accent and is hired by Cruella to do a painting for her in exchange for her being his muse.

* {{Perfumigation}}: ''101 Dalmatian Street'', where she's significantly older, replaces her chain smoking with a bottle of vivid green perfume. It's noxious enough to knock out dogs, and caustic enough in liquid form to quickly eat through a metal chain link. Spraying it somehow repairs the cracks that appear on her face.

* PsychoticWomanChild: She is rather immature when she doesn't get her way. She threw a hissy fit when Roger refused to sell her the puppies.

* SurroundedByIdiots: Like so many other Disney villains, Cruella has to put up with the idiotic antics of Jasper and Horace, and in the live action remake, she goes as far as belittling them for their failure to catch the puppies. Ironically, Cruella is no strategic genius herself, especially since in both films, the puppies managed to outsmart her.
* TookALevelInJerkass: If that was possible for her to do, she definitely proved it was in ''101 Dalmatian Street''. Not only does she still want her puppy coat, she specifically targets ones related to Pongo and Perdita, tries to get to the Dalmatian family by cutting off their electricity, food, water, and raise their house temperature. And this time, intends to also kill the parents for matching luggage, after tying them up to witness their children being killed in a brutal skinning machine, after demonstrating to the puppies what exactly the machine is going to do to them, using Dawkins' favorite doll as a test subject.

** In the TV series, she has lost her desire to make fur coats out of puppies; her only goal is to get the Dearlys off the farm because it's her land, which is ''nothing'' in comparison. In-universe, it's explained by fur coats no longer being fashionable, and in the end Cruella cares more about fashion than she does about fur. Out of universe, however, this change seems to be the result of MoralGuardians not wanting a vicious puppy killer on a Saturday Morning cartoon.

* AdultFear: The puppies being taken. Anita and Roger feel it just as bad as Perdita and Pongo.

Lars is a major character from the sequel, Patch London adventure. He is an eccentric, spot-fixated artist who speaks with a French accent who is hired by Cruella to do a painting for her in exchange for her being his muse.
