Annie (Little Einsteins)

“Alright Mia, Sit up straight, hold up that microphone. Now sing!”

―Annie Talking To Mia

Annie is one of the two tritagonists (alongside Quincy) of Little Einsteins and Mia Kitten She is Leo's younger sister and Mia's best best friend.

## Personality

This cheerful young girl (Just Like Mia) is a wonderful singer, coming up with song lyrics off the top of her head. Annie's pride and joy is a portable microphone, which she always carries with her like Mia's microphone. She loves animals almost as much as she enjoys singing while in music. She's the only person, besides Leo, to have ever piloted Rocket.

## Appearance

Annie is a young girl around 4 years of age, the smallest of the group. She has blonde hair styled into pigtails with pink hairbows. She wears a blue overall dress (pink in Season 2) and a green undershirt (pastel blue in Season 2). She wears a pair of pinkish-red Converse-like shoes (blue and white shoes in Season 2). Her dress is usually accompanied by a front sole pocket and seams down the side.

## Friends

For Little Einsteins At First, Her friends are Leo, Quincy, June, and Rocket. She also has other friends, but they are not human: a few of her friends include Little Caterpillar, Little Red Train, and Purple Plane. For Mia Kitten At Second, Her very best friend in the whole world is Mia who likes singing with Annie most of the time during playdates.

## Appearances

Mia Kitten: Annie has appeared in most episodes, with her biggest role in "Mia, Annie And The Music" and "Mia, Annie And The Magic Microphone".

## Background

As the youngest of the quartet, Annie is the singer behind the group. Annie is defined as always adventurous. She is also described that she might be the youngest but she is the bravest. Annie resides with her brother Leo, a redheaded child the leader of the team. Both Annie and Leo do everything beside each other. Annie has an affection for balloons, singing, and horses. She, like the rest of the team, seems to have arachnophobia. In “Our Huge Adventure”, Annie and the team faced their arachnophobia to save a bundle of butterflies and then easily fled the scene.

Annie loves her friends and will do anything for them. During the events of "Annie's Solo Mission", Leo, Quincy, and June were blowing large bubbles and got caught inside one. Using Leo's flying lessons, Annie flew Rocket around the world by herself to get them.

Annie also seems to be small-minded at points, pointing out the obvious in situations. She also dislikes being smaller than normal as seen in "The Incredible Shrinking Adventure". She didn't know the definition of "mission" in "How We Became the Little Einsteins: The True Story", but learned it thanks to her friend June.

In season 1 at some points, Annie's singing was not the best (even though she is the singer of the group) but it matured through the progress of season 2. Annie was originally going to have a country-inspired motif during the early stages of the series, wearing cowboy boots and having freckles. She looks different from her sibling Leo, who has tan skin and green eyes. Sometime during animation, Leo and Annie both had major redesigns making them closer to having a family relationship.

Annie seems fond of her friends and appreciates their company. Annie also may have thalassophobia as seen in "Quincy and the Magic Instruments", as she constantly shouts when talking to Quincy waving her hands at the same time. Annie also is a very bubbly-like girl, constantly giggling at points. Leo, Quincy, June, and Rocket all congratulate and cheer for Annie when she sings. Annie is good at improvising; she can make up and sing songs right off the spot, often when the team is off to save or help a creature or even when the team is feeling down.

During season 1, Annie sang with the singing posture of placing her hand on her chest and with one hand in the air. In season 2, she was granted access to a microphone to help her sing louder. Annie hates when her microphone is missing.

Throughout the series, Annie overtook new hobbies and interests such as her obsession with horses. She has befriended other singing animals, usually animals or creatures that are down. Annie uses her voice to cheer up the creature and get them in a go-get-em mood.

Annie is also very intelligent for her age, knowing big words that a normal toddler would never know. This is seen roughly through season 2 as during season 1, Annie struggled with her words, asking June for assistance. Annie can speak to animals through song, and can tell if the animal is down or happy by the tone of the animal's vocals. Usually, if the tone is high it means the animal is happy or scared; if it is low it means the animal is mad or sad. When Annie identifies the tone, she will make sure to help the animal feel better. She can also do this with Rocket, identifying tones of Rocket's singing.

She is fully optimistic, finding everything in her surroundings nice. She gets amazed by the slightest of things. This can be seen in "The Treasure Behind the Little Red Door" when she faced her fear from "Our Huge Adventure" (spiders) to befriend a smiling spider.

## Disney Parks

Annie made an appearance at Walt Disney World as a puppet in Disney Junior - Live on Stage! and at the Animation Courtyard in Disney's Hollywood Studios. She also appears at a walk-around costume for made meet-and-greets with guests, just like the other Little Einsteins, except for Rocket because the creators don't know how to make his very special walk-around costume.
