Characters
The Belles were:
- Curli - The one who had hair curlers in her hair, and was fond of knitting. She is revealed in the annuals to have a close friendship with Spotty of The Bash Street Kids.
- Dizzi - The ugly one, similar to Plug of The Bash Street Kids.
- Dozi - The sleepy one.
- Dumpling - The fat one, similar to Fatty of The Bash Street Kids.
- Kooki - The one who was fond of cooking.
- Mina - Didn't speak much, but had a myna bird on her head that would do most of the talking for her.
- Piggi - The one with lots of spots, similar to Spotty of The Bash Street Kids.
- Poni - The one who had a pony.
- Prune - The leader of the group, filling the role of Danny from The Bash Street Kids.
- Swotti - The clever one - seemingly a mixture of Herbert and Cuthbert, two characters from The Bash Street Kids strips.
- Blondie - The blonde one.
- Suzie - One of the Belles, apparently an ordinary girl.
- Puddy - A black, tomboy tabby-cat who serves as the school mascot. To an extent, she filled the role occupied by Winston in The Bash Street Kids strips.
Other characters featured in the strips included the rival St. Sniffles School (similar to Posh Street School, a rival of Bash Street School), and occasional cameos from The Bash Street Kids themselves.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:
“To marry a man out of pity is folly; and, if you think you are going to influence the kind of fellow who has never had a chance, poor devil, you are profoundly mistaken. One can only influence the strong characters in life, not the weak; and it is the height of vanity to suppose that you can make an honest man of anyone.”
—Margot Asquith (18641945)
“Though they be mad and dead as nails,
Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.”
—Dylan Thomas (19141953)
“There are characters which are continually creating collisions and nodes for themselves in dramas which nobody is prepared to act with them. Their susceptibilities will clash against objects that remain innocently quiet.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
