Angelica Charlotte Pickles is a character voiced by Cheryl Chase in the Nickelodeon shows Rugrats and All Grown Up!, and is among the series' original characters. She is a spoiled brat and the cousin of Tommy and Dil Pickles, who serves as the main antagonist of the series.[1] In 2002 TV Guide declared Angelica Pickles 7th in their list of "Top 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters of All Time". She is the archenemy of Tommy Pickles and the babies.
In Rugrats
In the Rugrats media, Angelica has blonde hair tied up in pigtails with purple bows. She wore a purple dress with flared cuffs and blue polka-dotted tights. Angelica can best be described as the spoiled, vain, sarcastic and selfish antagonist cousin of Tommy Pickles. She is known for her frequently manipulating the babies for her own gain and calls them "Dumb Babies," though she really is a baby herself in the Rugrats series. And in the very earliest seasons, a diaper can be seen under her dress. When the character Susie Carmichael was introduced, she was soon favored among the babies, causing Angelica to start a rivalry with her. Susie always tried to convince the baby Rugrats that almost everything that came out of Angelica's mouth was a lie, but Angelica fought back and convinced her targets otherwise. Angelica's trademark is her favorite doll, Cynthia, a spoof of Barbie, and fills her house with Cynthia merchandise. Angelica's Cynthia doll in particular appears to have lost most of its hair. Angelica, as seen in movies and episodes does care for the babies when they are picked on exclaiming "No one picks on those dumb babies cept me!"
In All Grown Up!
In the spin-off series All Grown Up! 13 year old Angelica's personality has clearly made some minor edits to itself as a part of Angelica's maturity; she cut her hair shorter and wears it down, she goes after boys more often (in the Rugrats, though, she was shown to have crushes on a few toddler boys), and has grown out of the habit of carrying her doll Cynthia around ( although in one episode of All Grown Up! Angelica desperately tried to get Cynthia back because Charlotte Pickles gave Cynthia away). Still, a few parts of Angelica's former personality remained; she is still very bossy, spoiled, and mean, but now to a lesser degree. Angelica still is envious of Susie, mainly because of Susie's excellent singing abilities. But still, like they sometimes did in the Rugrats series, they sometimes stick together when something isn't right).
