Charlotte Christy Adelaide McSell-Pickles (born October 14th, 1957) is Angelica's somewhat insane, powerhouse, workaholic mother, and the wife of Drew Pickles. Charlotte can be loud, abrasive, and a bit rude, and is she is easily distracted by work, but tries to be a stern mother. She loves her daughter and wants her to be a strong, independent and beautiful woman like her. She is almost always seen talking on her cell phone to Jonathan, her assistant, or another business client. Angelica deeply loves and respects her mother, wanting to be just like her. She is voiced by Tress MacNeille.
Description
Aside from being Drew's wife and Angelica's mom, Charlotte is also the CEO of a major corporation called Mega Corp, and is overworked. Even though Charlotte usually doesn't have much time for Angelica, and usually spends most of her time on the phone or working, she really does love Angelica.
Even though Charlotte, like Drew, spoils Angelica, she's not a pushover like Drew tends to be, and it's been implied (and shown) that when Charlotte's properly focused on her parenting, she's the more stern parent and capable of actually disciplining Angelica without hesitating to do so, whereas Drew has a tendency to hesitate when trying to discipline their daughter.
- However, there have been times where Drew hasn't hesitated to discipline Angelica, such as Chuckie's Wonderful Life, Chuckie Grows and the end of Curse of the Were-Wuff, to name a few.
All Grown Up!
Charlotte Pickles has aged a bit in the 10 years since their "darling little angel" Angelica was just a 3 year old girl. Charlotte had cosmetic surgery, which is proved in Interview With a Campfire, as she is seen with many different bandages on her face. She's been the C.E.O. (Chief Executive Officer) of Mega Corporation until season 4, which she loses her seat by her ex-assistant Jonathan Kraskell (in All Grown Up!, he seemed to be a C.E.O too like Charlotte). After losing her job, she had been going crazy until she found out Dil's game is "impatience". Inglorious, she tried to help Dil, but didn't know that she had been aggressive.
Looks
Rugrats
Charlotte has peach skin and a pair of white eyes with black pupils. She has purple eyeshadow and red lipstick, blonde hair in a ponytail and wears a blue business suit with matching high-heels.
All Grown Up!
In All Grown Up!, Charlotte has gotten some obvious plastic surgery or botox, pulling her face into a permanent smile. The plastic surgery does little in making her look younger, and in fact, does the opposite. She has blonde hair in a ponytail, red diamond earrings, and wears lipstick. She wears a red business suit with a white shirt, and wears blue high-heels. In season 2, Charlotte looks like the other characters, as she's a bit different and more beautiful than what she looks like in season 1. In some episodes, she appears with a blue and light blue business suit and wears gold and diamond earrings.
