RoleHero
Charlie Brown is a character known for his loyalty, determination, and slightly indecisive nature. He is a genuine friend, a committed baseball manager, and responsible when it comes to caring for his dog, Snoopy. Despite facing challenges, Charlie Brown is persistent and refuses to give up. He has a naturally kind and patient personality and is open about his emotions. He enjoys assisting others, but struggles to do the same for himself.
Snoopy, the beagle, is anything but ordinary. His interests include literature and writing, as well as collecting fine art and appreciating root beer. His imaginative spirit keeps his life exciting and unpredictable. As the Flying Ace, he bravely fights against the Red Baron, and as Joe Cool, he exudes confidence as the popular dog on campus. Despite his many adventures, nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a nap on his doghouse, followed by a delicious meal prepared just for him by his loyal friend, the Round-Headed Kid.
Schroeder, a musical prodigy, is known for his moody temperament. He has been playing the piano since he was a toddler, and while he enjoys baseball and spending time with friends, nothing compares to the joy he experiences while playing a Beethoven piece. Despite the limitations of his piano, with its black keys only painted on, he finds true fulfillment through music. However, he struggles to concentrate when Lucy interrupts him, preventing him from fully immersing himself in the first movement of the sonata.
Lucy is sometimes unfairly characterized as merely bossy or grumpy, but there is much more to her than that. For a mere five cents, she offers wise counsel and protects the well-being of her brothers, Linus and Rerun. Her self-assured nature and unwavering positivity fuel her aspirations to become either a great president or queen someday. However, her unrequited love for Schroeder is her Achilles' heel, and she ruefully recognizes the risk of falling in love with a musician.
Linus is a thoughtful and considerate individual who often serves as the voice of logic and reason among his peers. He is an introspective thinker and has a keen interest in philosophy. Despite his occasional conflicts with the cantankerous Lucy and the baffling habit of carrying a security blanket, Linus maintains an optimistic outlook. He remains confident that this year, the Great Pumpkin will make an appearance, and his unshakeable belief only reinforces his positive attitude.
Sally is naturally curious and seeks answers for everything that piques her interest. She questions the necessity of attending school and the logic behind not starting with dessert. When she encounters a question that stumps her, she shrugs it off with a dismissive philosophy: "Who cares?!" Sally's heart flutters at the sight of her beloved "Sweet Babboo," Linus. Despite not always comprehending his thoughts and actions, she knows she can count on her elder brother, Charlie Brown, for support and motivation.
Peppermint Patty is a gifted athlete who also serves as the manager of her own baseball team. However, she is more than just a jock. She is a pensive individual who often spends time reflecting on life and matters of the heart beneath the shade of her beloved "thinking tree." Although she excels at most things, she struggles to concentrate on her studies. Despite projecting a tough exterior, Peppermint Patty is a sensitive soul who staunchly advocates for herself and others in the face of unfair treatment. Her devoted father affectionately refers to her as his "Rare Gem."
Woodstock's flying skills leave much to be desired, and he's not even certain what type of bird he is. Nonetheless, he has an unwavering conviction that he and Snoopy were meant to be inseparable companions. Woodstock holds Snoopy in high regard as his "friend of friends," the only one in the neighborhood who can fully comprehend his bird calls. Although he's always eager for an adventure, Woodstock is just as content with staying home and taking it easy.
Marcie takes pleasure in attending school, going on hikes in nature, and occasionally catching a Tiny Tots concert. Despite being unable to distinguish between a basketball and a cantaloupe, she enthusiastically supports her friends at football games. She addresses her best friend, Peppermint Patty, as "Sir," and refers to her friend Charlie Brown, whom she harbors a not-so-secret crush on from afar, as "Charles."
Pigpen may be shrouded in his own private cloud of dust, but his mind and conscience are untainted. He is self-assured about his identity and conducts himself with poise and courtesy. Pigpen treats others with kindness and wishes for similar treatment in return (though it doesn't always materialize, he persists). He takes pride in being draped in the "dust of countless ages."
Franklin is a highly active kid who engages himself in several activities including baseball, guitar lessons, swim club, and 4H. Despite his busy schedule, he never hesitates to lend a helping hand to his friends. He's intelligent and supportive, and takes pleasure in spending quality time with his grandparents, learning about their old-fashioned ways. Although he finds Charlie Brown's friends a little strange, he's happy to be part of their group.
During the 1960s, she was a frequent character in Peanuts. However, with the introduction of newer characters in the late '60s, her appearances became less frequent. She stopped being a prominent character after 1985 and has only made cameo appearances in several television specials since then. She is now primarily recognized as the Peanuts character who has naturally curly hair, which she takes great pride in.

Thibault made his debut in the Peanuts comic strip on June 4, 1970, and Charlie Brown was taken aback by his unique name.

In the film You're the Greatest, Charlie Brown, Freddie Fabulous is portrayed as a rival character to Charlie Brown and his friends. He claims to be the champion of the decathlon in the Junior Olympics and is depicted as being arrogant, rude, and egotistical, often insulting his competitors, including Charlie Brown and Snoopy, whom he refers to as "Pumpkin Head" and "Squirt," respectively. He displays poor sportsmanship throughout the competition, often resorting to showboating and stunts in an attempt to win, further highlighting his show-off nature.
RoleSupporting
Although Belle had limited appearances in the Peanuts comic strip, she gained recognition through Peanuts merchandise, such as Belle stuffed toys, that were manufactured during the 1970s and 1980s. Despite her infrequent appearances, many individuals who did not regularly follow the comic strip mistakenly believed that she was Snoopy's girlfriend instead of his sister.
The character known as "Crybaby" Boobie is typically seen wearing a polka-dotted tennis dress, often colored pink in animated adaptations. Her reputation on the tennis court stems from her inclination to complain about the perceived unfairness of situations, except when she manages to win a game. This consistent behavior leads to her nickname, "Crybaby".
During Emily's initial storyline in the Peanuts comic strip, there were implications that she may have been a product of Charlie Brown's imagination. However, as Emily continued to appear in subsequent strips, there was no further indication that she was anything other than a real character. In fact, there were instances where evidence suggested that she was indeed a genuine presence in the comic, thus contradicting the earlier suggestion of her being a figment of Charlie Brown's imagination.
Naomi made her debut on October 1, 1998, as part of a plotline involving Spike's discontentment with living in the desert.

On September 4, 1986, Tapioca Pudding made her first appearance in the Peanuts comic strip. She belongs to the same class as Linus and Charlie Brown.

Roy made his first appearance in the Peanuts comic strip on June 11, 1965, where he meets Charlie Brown while attending summer camp.
