Angelina

Characters

• Angelina Jeanette Mouseling (voiced by Finty Williams) is a feisty, quiet, and soft-voiced little white dancing mouse who loves to dance and always dreams of becoming a famous prima ballerina. Angelina has the tendency to come off as rather hot-headed and mean, but she ultimately means well. She often wears a pink leotard top, tutu, vest, hair ribbon, and ballet slippers.
• Miss Lilly (voiced by Judi Dench) is Angelina's ballet teacher. Miss Lily is a kind and motherly figure to the mouselings that attend her class. Although she has good intentions, can come across as quite negative at times as she scolds her class if they make mistakes. She also isn't that good at telling the twins off if they bully and can turn a blind eye. She seems like she favours them. She grew up in Dacovia, which is a faraway land from Mouseland. She speaks with a Russian accent.
• Alice Bridgette Nimbletoes (voiced by Jo Wyatt) is Angelina's soft-voiced best friend, who is very skilled at gymnastics. She is brown and often wears a green leotard top, tutu, vest, hair ribbon, and ballet slippers. She has a very big appetite and also appears slightly lighter in colour in Angelina Ballerina: The Next Steps. She speaks in a Yorkshire Accent.
