Characters
- Nancy Francis (Mindy Cohn) - Nancy is a red-haired girl with horn-rimmed glasses. Nancy is always trying to fit in and helps Jessie out a lot because he is picked on. Nancy is a good but bossy kid, causing many problems for her. She is always trying to befriend Penny, but can never achieve that goal, and will sometimes end up being "friends" with Polly McShane who she resists instead.
- Jessie McCoy (Spencer Klein, Shawn Pyfrom, Justin Bradley) - Jessie is not the smartest kid from school, and he is often picked on by friends including Vinnie because his mother treats him like a baby. Whenever he has a task or a homework to do, he usually gets out of it by telling a lie to Miss Graves, but she catches on and gives him different punishments. Jessie is bald and wears an orange sweater with blue jeans.
- Penny Grant (Tara Strong) - Penny is one of the wealthiest girls in the entire school. Penny is not a snob just because she is one of the richest kids in town. She is very nice and smart and has blonde hair that helps her fit in very nicely. Nancy is always near her because of how wealthy she is but sometimes Penny doesn't even realize that she is rich.
- Vinnie Nasta (Andrew Lawrence) - Vinnie is the prankster of the bunch. He is a tall boy who likes to pull pranks on people. Vinnie is always found wearing a football shirt and spiked up black hair. Vinnie always has some eggs with him to chuck at the innocent kids of the school. He is also friends with Jessie, and the two pull pranks together on occasion. Vinnie has a big brother named Tony, whose former school projects Vinnie often tries to pass as his own but Miss Graves always remembers having already evaluated them during Tony's time. Vinnie once lost his friends when they learned his aunt married Mr. Besser but fortunately the wedding was short-lived.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:
“When the characters are really alive before their author, the latter does nothing but follow them in their action, in their words, in the situations which they suggest to him.”
—Luigi Pirandello (1867–1936)
“The Nature of Familiar Letters, written, as it were, to the Moment, while the Heart is agitated by Hopes and Fears, on Events undecided, must plead an Excuse for the Bulk of a Collection of this Kind. Mere Facts and Characters might be comprised in a much smaller Compass: But, would they be equally interesting?”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“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)
