InRugrats
editAngelica Pickles is Tommy and Dil’s spoiled, blonde-haired, 3-year-old cousin, who frequently bullies or manipulates the babies for her own gain, earning a perception as the "mean girl" character.[4]Angelica maintains a rivalry with Susie Carmichael, Tommy's neighbor, who tries to convince the babies that Angelica is dishonest and manipulative. Angelica's parents, Drew and Charlotte, are wealthy and often preoccupied with their jobs, resulting in her aunt Didi and uncle Stu often babysitting her.[5]
