CINDY LOU WHO THE GRINCH A Charlie Brown Christmas Character Descriptions: CHARLIE BROWN - Depicted as a "lovable loser," Charlie Brown is characterized as a person who frequently suffers, and as a result is usually nervous and lacks self-confidence. He shows both pessimistic and optimistic attitudes: on some days, he is reluctant to go out because his day might just be spoiled, but on others, he hopes for the best and tries as much as he can to accomplish things. SNOOPY - Charlie Brown’s pet beagle. Snoopy is loyal, innocent, imaginative and good-natured; known for his “happy dance” and his numerous alter-egos. A non-speaking role- physicality and improv a must. Must be able to dance and move freely. LUCY - Linus’ older sister. Lucy is characterized as a "fussbudget", crabby, bossy and opinionated girl who bullies most other characters in the strip, particularly Linus and Charlie Brown. LINUS - Charlie Brown’s blanket-toting best friend and Lucy’s little brother; Sally’s love interest; Though young and insecure, Linus is very intelligent and very wise; acts as the group’s philosopher and theologian. Linus is sympathetic towards Charlie Brown, and often gives him advice after listening to Charlie Brown's various insecurities. SALLY - The youngest of the group, with a very young sounding voice; Charlie Brown’s little sister who has a crush on Linus; is adorable and spunky but often overreacts to situations. SCHRODER - A very talented musician, who is obsessed with the music of Beethoven; Lucy’s love interest; Charlie Brown’s second-best friend after Linus. PIG PEN - Known for attracting dust, making him very filthy but with a good heart. FREIDA - The girl who brags about her “naturally curly hair”; a total diva. VIOLET - A jealous girl who likes bragging and, along with her friends Patty and Lucy often teases and torments Charlie Brown. PATTY - Not to be confused with Peppermint Patty. Patty is a girl who thinks highly of herself, and because of her self-opinion, she often torments the hapless Charlie Brown. SHERMEY - A friend of Charlie Brown’s. Very dry; complains he always gets cast as a shepherd in the play |
