Ludicrous Gift Request: A variation on the trope. Her gift requests aren't unreasonable, but the occasion for which she wants to be given gifts is: Beethoven's birthday. Costume Evolution: Sally was the first female character (discounting Peppermint Patty and Marcie, who virtually never wore dresses) to switch from wearing a dress to wearing pants on a regular basis, years before Lucy did the same, although the dress remained her trademark outfit in the animated TV specials. By the late '70s, she was rarely shown in a dress in the strip outside of school. Charlie Brown's one true love, so-called since she has red hair, though he's too spineless to come out and admit it to her. First referenced in 1961. Art Evolution: As mentioned above, The Peanuts Movie design gives her blonde hair instead of being a brunette to avoid confusion for the other Patty. This design also changed her dress and hairbow color from red to shades of green. Really, the only consistent design feature is her cross-hatch pattern on their clothing. Shower Scene: In a 1992 Sunday strip, Lucy was so grossed out at being kissed by Snoopy's "dog lips" that she ran home and jumped into the shower fully clothed. (Snoopy did the same.)

Third-Person Person: Lucy spoke like this in her earliest appearances, when she was still a toddler. Apart from Spike, Snoopy has six other siblings. Four of them, Andy, Olaf, Marbles and Belle, have appeared in the comic strip. The final two, Molly and Rover, only appeared in the animated TV special Snoopy's Reunion. Of those siblings, one—Belle—had a son, thus providing Snoopy with a nephew. Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She can often be quite mean (particularly to her older brother), but she does love her brother and can be a nice person, especially around Linus. Non-Standard Character Design: In her earliest appearances, she was the only character with Sphere Eyes. Annoying Younger Sibling: Charlie Brown tries to be understanding, but he loses his patience with her sometimes.Hopeless Suitor: Quote Linus: "I'm not your 'sweet babboo!'" Ironically, it was Linus who was first interested in her, albeit in a creepy Wife Husbandry kind-of-way when Sally was still a baby. Sally and Snoopy enjoyed playing together when she was a baby; they even teamed up to steal Linus's blanket on occasion. Once she grew to school-age, however, their relationship turned into one of mutual dislike, similar to that between Snoopy and Lucy.

Mature Younger Sibling: He's a wise kid (albeit one with a slight immature streak) who is mostly even-tempered and in touch with moral principles, as opposed to his older sister Lucy, who will fly into a rage at the smallest provocations. He at least tries to steer her in the right direction, but she doesn't listen to him. Brilliant, but Lazy: In the 1960s he was often depicted as not being particularly motivated when it came to schoolwork, achieving only average and sometimes failing grades despite his immense intelligence. Know-Nothing Know-It-All: Lucy often makes wild, ridiculous claims and then laughs Charlie Brown to scorn for talking sense. This bothers him to the point of feeling terribly ill. The song "Little Known Facts" from You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown covers how seemingly uneducated Lucy is. Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She's constantly badgering Snoopy to hunt rabbits, as stated above, but only because she cares about him in her own way.

Pet the Dog: Of the three "mean girls" (Patty, Violet, and Lucy), Patty was by far the most likely to do something nice for someone, and was on friendlier terms with Charlie Brown than the other two. She also was rarely mean to Charlie Brown unless she was with one of the others.

Malaproper: Quite often, with regard to sports. Among other things, she says "Zucchini" for "Zamboni" and "Splendid Bowl" for "Super Bowl". Out-of-Character Moment: His final appearance in the strip features him rather ashamed of his filthiness. This is unusual, as he had repeatedly expressed pride in his looks.

Matchmaker Crush: On the Little Red-Haired Girl, whenever it's especially inconvenient for Charlie Brown. Education Mama: In a 1990 storyline, she reveals to Charlie Brown that her parents put a lot of pressure on her to bring home good grades. While she usually refers to Charlie Brown as "big brother", she actually did refer to her own big brother as "Charlie Brown" in a few early strips. Tomboy with a Girly Streak: Harriet is the toughest of the birds, but she's also the one that's good at baking.
