The newest member of comedy sketch TV show `` So Random ! '', the titular character and the principal protagonist of the show. She is from Appleton, Wisconsin. `` Sonny '' is Allison 's nickname. Sonny used to dislike her nickname when she was little, but now she thinks it suits her ( as she says when she met Chad in `` West Coast Story '' ). She also plays a guitar, the piano, and sings. She 's usually eccentric, goofy and a bit childish, often admitting to do things that may seem strange to others. Friendly, sweet, and caring towards those around her, she is known as the nice girl of the group and does her best to help other people with their problems and achieve her dreams, but earns mixed results often due to some situations involving her meddling problems. Whenever Sonny lies, her voice becomes high pitch. Sonny had a love / hate relationship with Chad Dylan Cooper, but eventually falls in love with him. In season 2, Chad asks her out, beginning their relationship. But she breaks up with Chad towards the end of season 2. It is shown in the last episode, `` New Girl '', that she still has feelings for Chad. In the sequel to Sonny with a Chance, So Random !, Demi Lovato leaves the cast for health problems. It is not known why Sonny seems to be missing from the show. Tawni Hart Tawni Hart ( Tiffany Thornton ). Tawni is obsessed with fashion, pink, and herself. She becomes upset if she does not get her way. In the beginning, Tawni was openly jealous of Sonny to the point that she committed mail fraud by stealing all of Sonny 's fan mail, but later grew more accepting of her as a member of the show. Tawni is probably the only person who initially knew about Sonny and Chad 's mutual feelings for each other, but never mentioned it to anybody. Tawni has a secret - she likes Sonny. She is jealous of Sonny 's fans. Despite their rocky beginnings, she has since begun to care about Sonny as a friend and eventually as a best friend. She is often seen giving her advice and is shown to be nicer than before, such as the instance of driving Sonny all the way back to Wisconsin in `` Sonny with a Secret '', but she tells Sonny to do projects for her, shown in `` Falling for the Falls ( Part 1 ) ''. Also, she still does n't like it that Sonny 's boyfriend is Chad, as do all of the So Random ! cast. She has been on So Random ! for five years. She says that she was homeschooled, and that her mother Tammy ( also her manager ) was very strict. Chad Dylan Cooper Chad Dylan Cooper ( Sterling Knight ). He is the teen heart - throb of Tween Weekly and Mackenzie Falls, and the main antagonist in season one. He is the arch - rival of Sonny and the cast of So Random ! early in the series, as well as Sonny 's love / hate interest as developed later. He seems to have liked Sonny since the beginning of the show, and in one episode tries to force her to kiss him, before they were dating. He is a spoiled and bratty egomaniac and thinks that he is better than everyone else, and can be seen as effeminate in his obsession with his own appearance. Despite this arrogant, childish behavior, he has moments where he shows he is very kind and deep, especially when he 's around Sonny. He became more friendly towards the cast of So Random ! because of his feelings towards Sonny, and later, he eventually falls in love with her and starts dating her. However, in `` My Two Chads '', it is revealed that Chad has a stunt double named Chaz, who he has to go on dates with Sonny that he deems dangerous. When Sonny finds out about this, she dumps him, but they get back together at the end. In `` Sonny with a Choice '', when he discovers that So Random ! won the Tween Choice Awards, his ego and jealousy get the better of him, leading him to recount the votes so that Mackenzie Falls wins instead, which he later tells Sonny. Sonny is disgusted at his inability to put others before himself, causing them to break up for good. In `` New Girl '', it is revealed that he still has feelings for Sonny. Sonny writes a song about him and hums it at the end, hinting that she still has feelings for him as well. Nico Harris Nico Harris ( Brandon Mychal Smith ). One of the primary cast members of So Random !, Nico is Grady 's best friend and they always do pranks and wacky things together. He and Grady attempt many pranks but they often fail because ( in Tawni 's words ) they are `` full of loud music, bad choreography and things being thrown '' as they often copy the movies. The two are shown to be a little immature. He always comes up with ideas that later turn crazy. Nico seems to think he 's quite the womanizer, he hardly ever succeeds in getting dates. He also has a crush on Mackenzie Falls star Penelope, but she constantly turns him down, and not very nicely. He and Grady manage to make a body - spray that attracts girls but in the wrong way. He was on a one - man show called NICO. His dad is a lawyer. He also shares a birthday with Grady.
