 *For the last time, Miss Lovely is NOT my mother, you absolute doofuses!* **-Loopy Lou** (by VioletSkittle256 on DeviantArt)

Louanne (more known as **Loopy Lou**) is a fanmade side character and protagonist of the **Horrid Henry series**. She was inspired by VioletSkittle256 on DeviantArt, and is liked by many for her distinctive personality. After living in a nearby town, her and her family move to Henry's neighbourhood betweem Singing Soraya and Rude Ralph's houses, and Lou becomes popular at Ashton Primary School with students (both genders) and some teachers alike. She is not particularly hated by the staff at Ashton Primary School, however she tends to get into trouble for her prankster-type personality and mischievous plots - and in this way she is very similar to Horrid Henry. On the other hand, she is a very intelligent and enthusiastic character and likes to help people out, and for this reason she is not disliked by adults to a great extent - although this does not mean she is not a chaotic, havoc causing troublemaker at times.

After settling into Ashton and making lots of new friends, Loopy Lou forms a club in her backyard which she names **'The Violet Squad'** - a neutral ground where the rivalry between The Secret Club and The Purple Hand Gang is set aside, and Lou and all her classmates can gather to discuss tricky situations or plot intricate schemes with the help of Lou's expertise. However, when there are no situations at hand, Lou is generally a member of The Secret Club and serves as a messenger and deputy plan plotter.

**Lou** has two siblings, an older brother and a younger sister, and living with them has allowed her to be very socially and emotionally intelligent. For this reason, she finds it very easy to make several friends and a great first impression when she first arrives at Ashton. She appreciates a good laugh and a fun time, but, unlike Henry, she understands when morals are important (however, Henry becomes seemingly obsessed with morality in Series 3 of the TV series as well).

## Overview

Loopy Lou is a mischievous chaotic child, but knows how to have fun whilst respecting others. After living in a noisy town in the early years of her life, her family moves to Ashton for a respite of sorts - but they find a group of chaotic kids whom Lou befriends and goes on countless adventures with. Louanne gets along with most of the other kids in her class, and does end up getting herself into unnecessary trouble with Miss Battle-Axe in class - however, she is respectful towards her and is a clever learner, and for this reason she is not excessively disliked by Miss Battle-Axe. Lou is much liked in her class and never fails to make her class laugh.

Lou is liked by both genders alike, mostly for her mischievous plotting and scheming skills and her entertaining personality. She can get extremely excitive and slightly over-passionate, hence her alias **'Loopy Lou'**. However, her real name is Louanne (and some say Louanna) Roberts, and she is one of 3 children in her family.

In class, some say she sits next to Greedy Graham and occasionally Horrid Henry (when Lazy Linda is sitting beside Greedy Graham).

## Description

Loopy Lou has similar features to those of Rude Ralph, though slightly more feminine. She possesses the same pointy and rounded nose and face shape, however, she has a darker complexion similar to Gorgeous Gurinder and Singing Soraya, although slightly brighter. She also has long eyelashes and rosy cheeks, voluminous black hair styled in a side puff and tied in a lavender scrunchie, and two hairclips, one violet and one purple, on either side of her head.

Lou wears a vibrant violet hoodie with yellow sleeves and a yellow hood. Her hoodie has two polka dot pockets, one at the bottom and one on the top right. However, in some cases she is shown to be wearing a plain purple T-shirt with a white long sleeved top underneath. It is unknown yet what she wears on the bottom half of her body.

## Personality

Loopy Lou is much loved for her distinctive personality. She is known to get somewhat inordinately excitive and slightly over-passionate in certain situations, and can get a little out of hand - hence her nickname 'Loopy Lou'. She can also be incredibly immature and chaotic at times, and can be clumsy and sneaky and cause havoc due to her mischievousness. In this manner, she has a personality very similar to Horrid Henry's troublemaker, prankster-type nature. For this reason, she tends to get along with everyone in her class, including Horrid Henry and Rude Ralph - although she never hesitates to go along with the other girls in pranking them!

However, she can also become very serious and resolute when the situation calls for it. She can be extremely assertive and defensive, and this sometimes causes conflict between her and Moody Margaret, as she does not tolerate being bossed around by her.

She also has a kind, sweet side, and is always the first to offer kindness and assistance to those who need it. Lou is always eager to help people out and provide hospitality to newcomers, and, although she may be incredibly mischievous, she proves to be moral and respectful in the manner with which she treats adults. She has a tendency to cause havoc and get into a lot of trouble, however, adults do not dislike her to a great extent as they do Henry because of her apologetic and respectful manner.

Lou is rated as 'Great' on a Horrid Henry Character Tier Chart created by Unknown Author (source: Google).

## Relationships

### Friends

#### Singing Soraya

Loopy Lou and Singing Soraya are close friends, mostly due to their shared love of singing- although Soraya sings in a shrill, falsetto tone whilst Lou sings in a loud but simple, childlike feminine voice. They tend to get along well and enjoy eachother's company, and are frequently seen singing and dancing together. They also visit eachother frequently (along with Gurinder, who lives on the other side of Soraya) and come to school together on occasion, due to them being next door neighbours with eachother. Their mothers are close friends as well.

#### Gorgeous Gurinder

Gorgeous Gurinder and Loopy Lou get along fairly well as well. They don't share a lot in common, as Gurinder tends to be inordinately vain whilst Lou cares for her looks but is not vain - despite this, however, they are very close with eachother. They greatly enjoy eachother's company, and usually stand up for eachother when Moody Margaret treats them rudely - that is, when Gurinder is not seemingly terrified of Margaret.

#### Lazy Linda

Lazy Linda and Loopy Lou are considered to be the closest to eachother and possibly best friends. They are seen frequently together, and usually perform Secret Club operations together - though Lou has to frequently wake her up! Lou never fails to entertain Linda greatly, and Linda becomes more energetic and stays awake for longer whenever she is around - which is a shock to the rest of the girls. Out of the rest of the girls, Loopy Lou is estimated to hang out with Linda the most.

#### Horrid Henry

As previously mentioned, due to Loopy Lou's mischievous, prankster type personality which she shares with Horrid Henry, they tend to get along quite well. Typically, Henry and Lou are the ringleaders of most plans and schemes, and, when they combine forces, they tend to be unstoppable. Horrid Henry does seemingly enjoy Lou's company, and has no visible conflict with her - however, Lou never hesitates to prank him whenever the chance arrives, and likewise for Henry!

#### Rude Ralph

Loopy Lou gets along with Ralph as well as she does with Henry. They both have a tendency to be rude (despite the fact that Lou is rude unintentionally whilst Ralph is rude purposefully, which is obvious in Born To Be Rude). Because they live beside eachother, whenever they are carrying out a class plot, Ralph is usually the first to find out. Their fathers are best friends, and their mothers get along well - and, on occasion, Ralph visits Lou's house.

Some say that Rude Ralph and Loopy Lou are related as they resemble eachother closely - however, there is no current evidence to support this.

### Enemies

#### Moody Margaret

Moody Margaret and Loopy Lou are not complete enemies, as they are seen getting along on occasion - however, due to Moody Margaret's bossy, spoilt and somewhat rude and impatient nature, they tend to fall out quite often. Loopy Lou does not tolerate being bossed around or treated in a condescending manner - and, due to her defensive personality, she is usually standing up for the other members of The Secret Club when they seem unhappy as well, although the other girls try not to intervene due to their fear of Margaret. Lou's assertiveness and Margaret's determination results in them clashing frequently, and getting into a lot of squabbles and quarrels.

On the other hand, Lou and Margaret are seen getting along splendidly when combining forces against The Purple Hand Gang, so they cannot be classified as archenemies. They are also seen supporting eachother and even enjoying eachother's company on occasion - although this does not mean they do not get into petty disputes. Their relationship, like Susan and Margaret's, is a love-hate relationship.

#### Sour Susan

Just like Lou and Margaret, Sour Susan and Lou get into several disputes as well, and they are not very close. However, these usually don't last long and are not serious, because Susan also has an affectionate side for Lou as she stands up for her frequently against Margaret's rudeness.

#### Stuck-Up Steve

Loopy Lou's main archenemy is Stuck-Up Steve. Lou particularly detests his snobby, condescending, and arrogant attitude with which he carries himself. Although Lou and Steve rarely meet, when they do they end up squabbling over minor things. Lou shares the same dislike for Steve as Henry.

### Family

#### Mum and Dad

Lou's mother is a lawyer who is seemingly obsessed with order and organisation. Although Lou and her mother are close, Lou and her siblings tend to trigger her mum's anger due to their chaotic rough-and-tumble nature in the house. However, whilst Lou's mum does not tolerate mess and disorder, her dad is open to chaos and fun. He is keen to add to the chaos of the house and is very playful with Lou and her siblings - and for this reason, they are very close. Whilst Lou's mother makes sure Lou and her siblings are eating healthy, her dad never hesitates to slip them a few treats behind her mum's back.

#### Lila (little sister)

Lila is Lou's little sister and is in Perfect Peter's class. However, Lila and Peter contradict eachother in their nature. Lila is aggressive, loud, overenergetic, messy and cumbersome. She loves Lou and always forces her big sister to play childish games with her up in her room. Although Lou loves her little sister, she tends to be an enormous source of irritation and aggravation to her as well. Lila's hyperactivity causes Lou to lose her temper at times and scold her harshly - but this doesn't mean they don't love eachother immensely.

#### Cleo (older brother)

Cleo is very protective of Lou. He doesn't live with Lou all the time as he goes to university - but when he does, the house is louder than ever because of their constant arguments. Cleo always plays rough games with Lou and is always playfighting her - and, while Lou does enjoy this, she gets extremely enraged when he is being overpossessive and overprotective in front of her friends. Rude Ralph and Horrid Henry befriend Cleo whenever he comes to visit and look up to him thinking he is the coolest person, and they greatly enjoy his company.

### Teachers

#### Miss Battle-Axe

Just like the rest of the class, Lou usually ends up getting scolded by Miss Battle-Axe and finds herself in a pickle with her due to the mischief she causes. However, Miss Battle-Axe does not excessively dislike Loopy Lou as she does Horrid Henry, because Loopy Lou is intelligent and an eager learner. Miss Battle-Axe treats Lou in a similar way to Brainy Brian.

#### Rabid Rebecca

Loopy Lou is terrified of Rabid Rebecca - but that makes it all the more enjoyable to pull tricks on her! Lou enjoys pranking Rabid Rebecca and driving her crazy whenever she teaches in her class, because of the amusing reaction she gives. However, Lou tries especially hard not to get caught when Rebecca is on the recieving end of her pranks.

#### Miss Lovely

Loopy Lou has no problem with Miss Lovely, and rarely meets her. However, Lou gets aggravated when people assume that she is her mother.
