Characteristics

She has long blonde hair with pigtails tied in two purple bows on each side, purple dress, orange striped shirt, blue pants with green polka dots, orange socks, purple shoes.

Angelica is Tommy's first cousin, and the niece of Stu and Didi. She is typically mean to the babies, and she falsifies various aspects of the world around them to frighten them. However, on multiple occasions, her "soft" side was revealed, and she really does care deeply for the babies.

Her parents Drew and Charlotte are hardly ever around because of their jobs, so her aunt and uncle often babysit her; her parents rarely punish or discipline her, so it's usually up to her aunt and uncle to do so. However, there is one exception. The only time Angelica was visibly punished by her parents is in the episode Runaway Angelica, where she is both yelled at by her father and sent to her room for disobeying her father's orders of not going into her father's home office without permission. Most other times, her parents just scold her instead of threatening her with punishment for her bad behavior.

In Family Reunion the Pickles attend their family reunion in Iowa and Angelica tells Tommy that it's a place where kids like him get swapped, which ends up backfiring on her when some of her relatives takes a shine on her. As a result, Angelica gets upset and hurt by the transmission, also in that episode, she ended up being chased by a goat who is ready to batter her, and Tommy is forced to rescue her. But Angelica ends up crying as being sorry, upset and grateful. She is an only child; as a result, she has become a very spoiled child whose parents pander to her every need and give her anything she wants without cease. Being spoiled could come from her parents' vast wealth, which is used to buy her toys and very expensive birthday parties. She whines and cries to get what she wants, and usually gets what she wishes.

Until Susie Carmichael came along, Angelica was unique among the regular children in that she could properly talk to grown-ups, and as such, she acted nicely towards the adults, and was notoriously mean to the other babies, especially by lying and distorting their view of the world.

When Susie was introduced, Angelica soon became a rival to her and often competed with her. Almost every time Susie is in an episode, Angelica is in it, as well. Although, despite this, Susie's introduction episode did not feature Angelica. Angelica and Susie are the only characters who didn't appear in the two Rugrats pilot episodes.

Despite acting mean to the babies most of the time, it is revealed in the 1995 season finale "Moving Away" that she was the reason Tommy, Chuckie, Phil and Lil befriended each other and, even more, that Angelica considered the other babies her best friends.

Her first word and favorite food is cookies, and she refuses to eat most healthy foods (mostly broccoli). After every spoiled conduction, she gets a sudden consequence. (In "Fountain Of Youth", the inflatable boat drops of from the twig and covers Angelica.) She is unable to blow her nose at age 3, as seen in the episode All's Well that Pretends Well, and she makes a mess when she eats.

Angelica's parents, especially her mother, seem to also be spoiled. In Rugrats, Charlotte was Angelica's role model in some ways. Charlotte is the powerful boss of a major corporation. In a realistic dream sequence, she said that the only thing she liked better than corporate domination was corporate domination with her special girl.

Drew is a little more responsible and reasonable with his daughter. He is often the one who worries about Angelica becoming too spoiled, but when he discusses this with Charlotte, she usually disagrees. Angelica's, as well as her parents', address is 53 Briar Tree Lane (stated in Rugrats episode "Stu Gets a Job." Stu mentions the address when he is calling to have Drew's Car towed). These were the only episodes: The Shot, Family Reunion, Moving Away, When Wishes Come True, Tricycle Thief, Cool Hand Angelica, The Word Of The Day, Angelica's Worst Nightmare, Falling Stars Curse, of The Werewuff, and Who's Taffy?, where Angelica actually cries in these episodes.

She has a cat named Fluffy, most recently seen in the All Grown Up! episode "Lucky 13" (first transmitted in the US: August 28, 2004). Also, since the beginning of the series, she was often seen with a doll named Cynthia, which she apparently considered her most prized possession.

When the series started, she, Tommy and Chuckie were their respective parents' only children. However, by the end of the series, Angelica was the only "only child" remaining, as Tommy gained a brother Dil through birth and Chuckie gained a stepsister Kimi through marriage. One episode late in the run focused on this fact ("Sister Act", first transmitted: January 26, 2001). It is noted, however, that in an episode of Rugrats, Charlotte thought she was going to have a baby, but in the end, it was false, and Angelica remained an only child.

Angelica came 7th in TV Guide's 50 greatest cartoon characters, above Bart & Lisa Simpson and Mickey Mouse, and she was the only Rugrats character to appear in the list.

Angelica has many near-death incidents. In Rugrats in Paris: The Movie, when the babies control the robot Reptar, When the babies crash into the balcony Angelica is on, she falls onto Reptar's nose, hanging on for dear life. As soon as the babies notice, Tommy presses a button that sends green gas out of the nose Angelica is on. She falls to the ground but the babies catch her in Reptar's hand.

She squeals: "This isn't the parade I wanted!". Robo-Snail then squirts purple goo at her. Lil opens a hatch and Kimi climbs up. As Angelica starts to, Robo-Snail grabs Reptar and Angelica falls but manages to grab a tooth. Reptar starts spinning around but poor Angelica manages to stay on. When Reptar boosts up the Eiffel Tower, he stops with a huge jolt at the top, sending a shrieking Angelica flying into the sky. She falls but is caught again. Angrily, she shouts: "What's the big idea? Are you potty-heads trying to get rid of me?" With Angelica in his other hand, Chuckie points at the Church his dad is at. Now he isn't holding onto the Tower, Reptar falls. He throws a screaming Angelica into the air and grabs the rail of the Tower. Angelica falls and lands on the head though
