Characters / Peppa Pig

4 Following

Tropes Relating to All

• A Boy, a Girl, and a Baby Family: Became one after baby Evie was born in 2025, since she has an older sister (Peppa) and brother (George).
• Color-Coded Characters: As per the norm of the series, Peppa and her family all have colour-coded clothing.
  • Peppa Pig: Red
  • George Pig: Blue
  • Evie Pig: Mint
  • Mummy Pig: Orange
  • Daddy Pig: Teal (Referred to as simply "green" in-universe, likely because they presume kids won't be able to comprehend teal as a colour)
  • Granny Pig: Pink
  • Grandpa Pig: Indigo
  • Chloe Pig and Baby Alexander: Yellow
  • Auntie Pig: Pink with white polka dots
  • Uncle Pig: Greyish-blue
  • Dottie Pig: Cyan with turquoise, teal, indigo, white, purple, orange, green, and lime green polka dots
• Filthy Fun: They all like to jump in muddy puddles.
• Limited Wardrobe: They all tend to wear the same clothes every day.
• Messy Pig: Downplayed; the pigs generally keep clean, but they all have a fondness for jumping around in muddy puddles.
• Shared Family Quirks:
  • They all like to jump in muddy puddles.
  • They all seem to have a Sweet Tooth; most prominently shown with the kids and Daddy Pig, but Mummy Pig also likes jelly in "Jelly", for instance.
• Verbal Tic: Pig snorts when they speak.

Peppa Pig

• Aloof Big Sister: Downplayed; she is occasionally mean to George, her younger brother, but it is mostly light-hearted sibling ribbing. Take this example from the episode "Families":
  Peppa: George thinks his toy dinosaur is scary. It is not scary. But if I don't play, he cries. It's hard work having a little brother.
  (Peppa smiles as she sticks her drawing to the wall, and George laughs)
• Baby's First Words: Her first word was "mummy", as revealed in "Baby Alexander".
• Bratty Half-Pint: Downplayed. She can sometimes be rude and/or Innocently Insensitive, but calling her a brat would be going too far.
• Cannot Keep a Secret: She is unable to keep a secret. For example, she tells everyone her family sold Daddy Pig's old chair despite Mummy Pig telling her to keep it quiet.
• Catchphrase: In Peppa Pig Tales, she tends to say "Oh, trumpets!" as an expression of disappointment.
• Characterization Marches On: Is much less bossy in recent seasons.
• Cheerful Child: Generally has a positive attitude.
• Genki Girl: Very perky and energetic.
• Hidden Depths: She's surprisingly good at playing draughts^note the British term for checkers, as seen in "Mr. Dinosaur is Lost". She even beats Daddy Pig at it and wins.
• Hypocritical Humor: In "Mummy Rabbit's Bump", Peppa and her friends think of names for Rebecca Rabbit's new baby sibling(s), she disagrees with Pedro's name ideas that don't start with an R because it doesn't match the Rabbits' last name, but she has a little brother named George Pig, and two cousins named Chloe Pig and Alexander Pig.
• Innocently Insensitive: A lot of times, she will say something that sounds rude just because she doesn't know better.
• Jerkass Ball: She does tend to have some bossy and/or hot-headed moments sometimes. Especially towards George, since she'll often lose patience with him or boss him around.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She is sometimes rude to the other characters, but is actually a Cheerful Child.
• Little Miss Snarker: Although most of her perceived snark is unintentional, she can be snarky occasionally.
• Motor Mouth: She talks nonstop.
• Never My Fault: She blames George when her random idea to cure his hiccups doesn't work.
  Peppa: George, you've done it all wrong!
• OOC Is Serious Business: In a show where only babies and toddlers are ever shown crying, seeing a Cheerful Child like Peppa crying after losing her golden boots in "The Golden Boots" is quite meaningful.
• Red Is Heroic: She wears a red dress and is the main protagonist.
• Ship Tease:
  • The episode "School Play" implies Peppa has a reciprocated crush on Pedro. She kisses him on the cheek, and he blushes and giggles. In "In The Future", Peppa even says she'll marry Pedro or Danny when she grows up.
  • The video game "My Friend Peppa Pig" somewhat implies Peppa might have a crush on The Friend (the player's avatar). One scene from the game in particular has Peppa imagining herself as a queen with The Friend sitting next to her on the throne as a co-ruler.
• Sibling Rivalry: Downplayed. Sometimes, she's mean to George, but mostly she's nice to him.
• Sore Loser: Whenever she loses at something, she will often get grumpy or broody, or blame the other person. An example of this is in "Sports Day", when she sulks about not winning the games.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: She's best friends with Suzy, but the two tend to argue or blow raspberries at each other.
• Vocal Dissonance: In the now-lost American dub, Peppa was voiced by a grown woman whose voice acting made her sound like a teenager.
• Vocal Evolution: Her voice noticeably gets more mature by Season 5, before reverting back to normal in the middle of Season 6. By the time she stopped voicing the character, Harley Bird was nineteen years old.
• You Are Fat: Likes to claim Daddy Pig has a big tummy.

George Pig

• Annoying Younger Sibling: To Peppa sometimes, often due to not knowing as much as her and getting in the way.
• Baby's First Words: His first word was "dinosaur", as revealed in "Baby Alexander".
• Baby Talk: Generally speaks in one-word sentences, calls Grandpa Pig "Papa 'Ig" and other things besides.
• Blue Is Heroic: He wears a blue shirt, and seeing that he's the main character's younger brother, he qualifies.
• Catchphrase: He likes to shout, "Dinosaur!".
• Catch Your Death of Cold: In "George Catches a Cold", his reason for catching a cold was not wearing his rain hat.
• Companion Cube: His dinosaur toy; he brings Mr. Dinosaur almost wherever he goes.
• Cute Mute: Downplayed. While not completely mute, he only knows a handful of words, and the "cute" part comes from him being a toddler. Justified, as it's later revealed that he's half deaf.
• Failures on Ice: Surprisingly subverted in "Ice Skating" where, despite being rather insecure about trying to skate, he reveals an incredible talent in it.
• Hiccup Hijinks: Gets the hiccups in one episode.
• Hidden Depths: George might be a bit bashful, awkward and clumsy, which is understandable given his age, but he's learned to shake his ears and to whistle at his first try, is the only member of the family to be able to blow the alphorn and, most of all, seems to have an innate talent in figure skating.
• I'm Crying, but I Don't Know Why: Cries at the most random occasions.
• Inelegant Blubbering: Has a loud, wailing cry.
• Instant Expert: With certain talents, such as whistling and ice skating.
• Irony: Even through he loves dinosaurs, he gets scared whenever he hears its roarings, thinking that is a real dinosaur.
• Kids Love Dinosaurs: George certainly thinks so, considering everything he does involves dinosaurs in some way. Heck, he carries his toy dinosaur wherever he goes.
• Limited Wardrobe: Always wears a blue shirt.
• Little Professor Dialogue: Doesn't normally speak, but can pronounce big words.
• Lovable Coward: Due to his age, he can get scared of things quite easily, but everyone still likes him.
• Ocular Gushers: When he cries, the tears squirt out in a shower.
• Odd Name Out: Downplayed. Among Chloe, Alexander and Evie, his name isn't too out of place despite not beginning with the letter P, but it also only has one syllable.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: He's able to blow on a giant horn the others can't in "Musical Instruments" and can effortlessly lift a huge melon in "Shopping".
• Prone to Tears: Being a toddler, he tends to cry over almost anything, and he cries more than anyone else.
• Sick Episode: He gets a cold in "George Catches a Cold".
• Tears of Fear: He tends to cry when he gets scared.
• Tomato in the Mirror:
  • Or, in this case, dinosaur in the mirror. In "Fancy Dress Party", George (in a full-body dinosaur costume) scares himself by roaring at a mirror.
  • In "Daddy's Movie Camera", he's scared by his own footage (once again, he was pretending to be a dinosaur).

Evie Pig

• Blush Sticker: While blush stickers are not uncommon in most characters, Evie stands out the most with a heart-shaped one.
• Cousin Oliver: She wasn't born until Season 9.
• Non-Standard Character Design: One of her Blush Stickers is heart-shaped, which none of the other characters have. She also has a larger body compared to the other newborns that have been seen.
• Signature Headgear: She has a small white bow on her head, which makes her stand out from many characters, even baby ones like Alexander, Robbie and Rosie.

Mummy Pig

• Berserk Button: In "Funfair", she gets mad when she's belittled and someone (besides her and Peppa, apparently) makes fun of her husband's body shape.
• Birthday Episode: One episode focuses on her birthday. It's fittingly titled "Mummy Pig's Birthday".
• Butt-Monkey: While normally Daddy Pig's role, later episodes have Mummy Pig having her own misfortunes, such as getting caught in a blackberry bush, getting stuck up a tree after bouncing on the trampoline, and accidentally skiing down a mountain (twice).
• Catchphrase: She says, "Be careful, Daddy Pig" a lot.
• Claustrophobia: Downplayed; "Caves" reveals her to be afraid of small spaces, but only if they are also dark.
• Elegant Classical Musician: Downplayed as it happens only in one episode ("Musical Instruments") but she used to play the violin when she was little and she's still able to as an adult.
• Foolish Husband, Responsible Wife: She's often the one to warn Daddy Pig against doing something foolish.
• Non-Standard Character Design: Contrary to other little girls in the series, when she's shown as a child she's drawn with long eyelashes just as her current self. Plus, her dress has a flower pattern on it and isn't a solid colour.
• Only Sane Man: She's often the one to play the voice of reason and reign in the others, since her husband is a Bumbling Dad and her children are both very young.
• Parental Hypocrisy: She doesn't want her children to jump on the bed even though, as Granny Pig reveals, she did it too when she was little.
• Straight Man: To Daddy Pig's Bumbling Dad antics; she's often the one to be the voice of reason, warn him not to do something crazy, etc.
• Suddenly Bilingual: In "Pen Pal" and "Delphine Donkey", she's able to speak and understand French. It might be justified as it's possible that she studied it at school.
• Twitchy Eye: She twitches her eye briefly at the end of "Miss Rabbit's Relaxation Class" because she was wired from all the noise.
• Women Are Wiser: She's much calmer and able to solve problems than Daddy Pig, who usually makes things worse with his claims of expertise.

Daddy Pig

• Acrofatic: Zig-zagged. He's fat and is unable to do basic exercises like touching his toes, yet he can jump high on a puddle and splat away all of the mud and dive into water without disturbing it.
• Blatant Lies: Sometimes, he claims to be an expert at things he's already failing to do, or claims not to be grumpy in a grumpy voice.
• Blind Without 'Em: As shown in the episode "Daddy Loses His Glasses", he is practically blind without his glasses, which makes him grumpy due to not being able to do anything like watch TV or walk without them.
• Bumbling Dad: Sometimes he's accident-prone or absentminded, though George and Peppa love and respect him.
• Butt-Monkey: Poor Daddy Pig can't catch a break. His family has a tendency to mock his "big tummy" (not even Mummy, Granny and Grandpa Pig are above joining in on occasion), and he suffers from bad luck and mishaps more than any other character on the show. Daddy Pig himself acknowledges this in "Soft Play" — upon seeing other adults trapped in a play structure, he jokes, "That usually happens to me!", and then realizes that he's inevitably going to in and get stuck, because that's just how things go for him. Later episodes shows less of this, with Mummy Pig getting into mishaps at times instead of him.
• Catchphrase: "I am a bit of an expert," said whenever he's attempting to perform some task or skill. If he says it before he tries, he'll usually fail; if he says it after he's finished, it's usually because someone is complimenting him on a job well done.
• Fat and Proud: Zigzagged — He doesn't see why he should be fit, but other times, he seems to get offended when people call him fat, and believes it's not fat, but muscle.
• Food Coma: "Chloe's Puppet Show" reveals that eating too much can make him sleepy.
• Foolish Husband, Responsible Wife: He's often foolhardy, while his wife is often telling him to be careful.
• Hidden Depths:
  • Despite his Bumbling Dad antics, it's been shown he's Acrofatic, a talented drummer and skilled at playing the accordion.
  • He works as an architect and appears to have some skill in engineering: his favourite book is about concrete, and his level of DIY skill can be fearsome. After he knocks a hole in the wall while putting up a picture, he fixes the hole, replasters the wall and paints it over so well that all Mummy Pig notices is that he forgot to put up the picture.
  • Daddy Pig holds the world record for muddy puddle jumping, and when he briefly loses his title in "Champion Daddy Pig," he gets in back within 24 hours by jumping so high and powerfully that he obliterates the puddle.
• I Am Big Boned: When accused of having a "big tummy," he'll often reply that his stomach is actually "pure muscle." He also makes claims of fitness but struggles to do things like touch his toes.
• Informed Deformity: Peppa often says that his tummy is too big. While there are some indications that he's a little out of shape, his stomach isn't any bigger than any of the other adult male characters'.
• Know-Nothing Know-It-All: Daddy Pig claims he know everything, but in reality, he doesn't.
• Lazy Bum: He's shown to not like exercising in episodes like "Daddy Pig Gets Fit" and "Kiddie Workout".
• Loved by All: Daddy Pig is well liked by all characters as shown in "Valentine's Day", where everyone became sad when learning that Daddy Pig didn't get a Valentine card. In the end, they gave him a whole sack of cards.
• No Sense of Direction: A Running Gag on the show is how the family always gets lost when he reads the map; he is depicted as holding the map upside down in these scenes.
• Perma-Stubble: His face always looks stubbly.
• Shared Family Quirks: He and Uncle Pig can both get sleepy from eating too much, and they both snore, as revealed in "Chloe's Puppet Show".
• Signature Laugh: He says, "Ho-ho!" a lot.
• Throw the Dog a Bone: Daddy Pig is the unluckiest character on the show, but in "Valentine's Day," every adult in town rallies to send him valentines when they mistakenly believe that he won't be getting any (Mummy Pig did send him one by post, and Peppa forgot to mention that when she told Madame Gazelle that Daddy Pig hadn't received a card). The episode ends with the narrator declaring "Everyone loves Daddy Pig!"
• Too Dumb to Live: He always dismisses others' warnings, whenever he does things that would risk his or others' lives.
• Vocal Dissonance: As a child, his voice sounded the same, albeit higher.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: He's very afraid of heights, but it's Played for Laughs, at his expense.

Granny Pig

• Cool Old Lady: The kids really like staying with her.
• Hidden Depths:
  • "Dinosaur Party" reveals her to be a prehistory buff, while the likes of "Roman Day" show her to be into history as well.
  • "Motorbiking!" reveals her to have been a biker in her youth.
• Pink Means Feminine: She wears a pink dress and is a caring and loving grandmother.

Grandpa Pig

• Caring Gardener: He grows a lot of fruits and vegetables in his garden, and is loving towards his family.
• Cool Old Guy: The kids like him as much as Granny Pig.
• Hidden Depths: "Motorbiking!" reveals that he rode a motorcycle when he was younger.
• Mr. Fixit: He can repair computers, vehicles, and other machines.

• Not So Above It All:

  • Dances to "Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes" despite initially claiming to dislike kids' music.
• Shared Family Quirks: She and her baby brother both wear yellow.
• Toxic Friend Influence: It's implied that she's usually nicer to her cousins when her friends aren't around, since she doesn't want them to associate her with "babies" like Peppa and George.
• Vague Age:
  • Claims to be "almost grown up", which adults would classify as about fifteen at the youngest and seventeen at the oldest, but kids often boast about almost being grown up, so she might be as young as six.
  • The Season 6 episode "In the Future" also debuts the 17-year-old Charlotte Sheep, whose body proportions are closer to that of the adults, implying Chloe is still prepubescent throughout her appearances. Furthermore, it's later downplayed in the Season 7 episode "Roller Disco", where Chloe's friend Belinda Bear is stated by the narrator to be almost 10 years old, so Chloe herself is presumably around that age as well.

Alexander Pig

• The Baby of the Bunch: He's the youngest member of the Pigs, at least until Evie's birth.
• Baby's First Words: His first word was "puddles", as seen in "Baby Alexander".
• Inelegant Blubbering: Cries just like any baby.
• Ocular Gushers: Cries in the manner of a hose.
• Prone to Tears: Cries in almost every episode he's been in. Kinda justified as he's a baby and doesn't know enough words to express his feelings or what he wants so well (in fact, only knowing one word that has nothing to do with feelings).
• Shared Family Quirks: He and his sister both wear yellow.

Auntie Pig

• Non-Standard Character Design: Before the introduction of other characters with different patterns on their clothes in later seasons, she was the only one whose outfit wasn't a solid colour. Plus, her blonde eyelashes make her stand out among the other female adults.

Uncle Pig

• Food Coma: "Chloe's Puppet Show" shows that he get sleepy if he eats too much.
• Shared Family Quirks: "Chloe's Puppet Show" reveals that him and his brother both snore, and that eating too much makes them both sleepy.
• Strong Family Resemblance: He looks similar to his brother, but with less stubble and no glasses.

Tropes Relating to All

• Brutal Honesty: When she believes the drawing made by Daddy Pig when he was little was actually made in the present by him as an adult, she's quite straight about it.
  Suzy: Oh. Not so good for grown-up.
• Generation Xerox: Mummy Pig and Mummy Sheep are best friends, just like Peppa and Suzie (although the adults are much more polite to one another).
• Hypocrite: She's allegedly bossy and keeps telling people what to do, but she thinks Peppa is the one who is telling people what to do.

• Motor Mouth: Is described as a "chatterbox" along with Peppa in one episode.
• Never My Fault: Suzy refuses to admit she tried to kick Pedro, George, Richard and Edmond out of the sandpit on purpose in "International Day".

• Well-Intentioned Extremist: In almost every episode where Tiddles the turtle or someone/something else is stuck in a tree, Suzy suggests that in order to get them down, they have to "chop the tree down!" Luckily, the others always refuse to do so.

Mummy Sheep

• Ambiguously Absent Parent: Played with. We do see her mother, but we get no mentions of a "Grampa Sheep" or anyone, though he could've died, given Granny's age. That aside, we have the fact that we don't know what happened to her husband (if she were married).
• Bittersweet Ending: In "Suzy Goes Away", at least for her. She can't wait to start a new life in another country with a new job more interesting than the one she has currently but at the end of the episode she's abruptly informed that she didn't get it. Well, at least her daughter won't have to leave her best friend.
• Passed-Over Promotion: In "Suzy Goes Away" she's about to leave the country after getting a new job abroad and she can't wait to start a new more exciting life there. However, at the end of the episode she's told by phone that she ultimately didn't get the new job, much to her clear disappointment.
  Mummy Sheep: They said I didn't get the new job.
  Mummy Pig: So... you aren't moving away?
  Mummy Sheep (stunned): No.

  Mummy Sheep: Yes.

Granny Sheep

• Affectionate Nickname: She affectionately calls both Suzy and Peppa "her little lambs", despite Peppa being a pig.

• Verbal Tic: Rabbit sounds when they speak.

Rebecca Rabbit

• Artistic License – Biology: Just like her family, Rebecca eats nothing but carrots (except for occasionally, such as in "Undersea Party" where she mentions eating fish fingers). In real life, carrots (the orange roots) are unhealthy for rabbits.

• Didn't Think This Through: When her sister Miss Rabbit gets injured in "Miss Rabbit's Day Off", Mummy Rabbit offers to fill in for her at the supermarket as a cashier, which is a job that Mummy Rabbit has never done before. It doesn't end up well.
• Housewife: She's shown to be a homemaker in "Miss Rabbit's Day Off", where she doesn't go to work.
• Wacky Cravings: During her pregnancy, she had cravings for strange food — namely, a potato with jelly, cheese, and strawberry jam, which disgusts the children upon hearing this.

Miss Rabbit

• Always Identical Twins: With Mummy Rabbit; they have been mistaken for each other on at least one occasion.

• Friend to All Children: She likes going on field trips with the preschool children and watching kids play.
• Injured Limb Episode: Her leg gets hurt in "Miss Rabbit's Day Off", meaning people have to sub for her jobs.
• Jack of All Trades: Played for Laughs. She does at least three different job shifts per day, and wherever Peppa and her family go, Miss Rabbit is almost invariably the cashier/receptionist/person on duty.
• New Job as the Plot Demands: Miss Rabbit doing every random job going is a Running Gag throughout the series — fire-fighter, supermarket checkout, museum shop, bus driver, train driver, Christmas tree salesperson, etc. It's lampshaded in "Miss Rabbit's Day Off", in which everyone has to fill in for all her jobs, and in "The Queen", in which Miss Rabbit receives an award from the Queen for being "the Hardest Worker in the Land".

Grampy Reggie Rabbit

• Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Miss Rabbit finds his hammy, impulsive nature embarrassing at times.

• Given Name Reveal: The episode "Sea Treasures" reveals his first name to be 'Reggie', in a series where Unnamed Parent (or No Name Given for any adult, for that matter) is the norm.
• Hidden Depths: He's been to space. Also, he's good at rescuing people, like his daughter Miss Rabbit.
• Large Ham: Grampy Rabbit is overly eager and over-the-top at anything he does. It helps that he's also played by BRIAN BLESSED, who is quite a hammy actor himself.
• Like Parent, Like Child: In "Rescuing Miss Rabbit", he shows himself to be able to rescue others, like his daughter Miss Rabbit, who has a search-and-rescue job herself. He even owns a firetruck which he uses to rescue his daughter when she gets stuck on the library roof in said episode.
• Limited Lyrics Song: A lot of his songs consist of mainly "The (X), the (Y)" repeated ad nauseum.
• Lost Voice Plot: Downplayed. He loses his voice once, but only for a few minutes.
• NO INDOOR VOICE: It's BRIAN BLESSED. Did you honestly expect anything different?
  Narrator: Grampy Rabbit has the loudest voice in the entire world.

Edmond Elephant

• Bedsheet Ghost: His costume in "Pumpkin Party" is a white shroud for a ghost.
• Catchphrase: "I'm a clever clogs!"
• Character Development: Edmond goes from being a standard younger child to one of the smartest characters on the show.
• Child Prodigy: Has an awful lot of general knowledge for a child his age. It's often lampshade by adults after he corrects them; they'll laugh and call him a "clever clogs" for being so smart.

• Genius Sweet Tooth: He's a Child Prodigy, and one promotional short focuses on him eating too much candy.

• Forgetful Jones: He is so forgetful he fails to remember almost everything, to the point he gets his agenda mixed up.

• The Medic: Is a medical doctor and his medicines can outright cure anything but colds.

• Shared Family Quirks: He has a brother who's just as hammy as him and is also a roadworker.

Mrs. Crocodile

• Furry Confusion: A rather jarring one. Despite not being the first case in the series (just think about Horsey Twinkle Toes, a toy horse in a series with anthropomorphic ponies), Mrs. Crocodile is the first non-mammalian anthropomorphic animal to be seen in the whole show, which raises plenty of questions on how that world works. The fact that non-anthropomorphic crocodiles were shown in Grampy's Rabbit stories in "Gym Class" doesn't help either.

• Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Any character directly referring to the player only refer to them as "Peppa's Friend".
• Like a Son to Me: Though World Adventures reveals that The Friend has a family of their own that the player can customize, it's still implied that Daddy and Mummy Pig view them as like their third child and treat them mostly as such.
• Nice Guy: they seem a cheerful as Peppa and is frequently shown being more than happy to help out if asked.
