There is not a surplus of characters in [[LazyTown]], which allows each and every one of them to be significant to plots of various episodes. Among the characters, some of the more important ones include Stephanie, Sportacus, and Robbie Rotten - who are the only human characters, seeing as the rest are puppets.

==Stephanie==
== Personality ==
[[Stephanie]] is a young girl who loves dancing. She came to live with her [[Mayor Meanswell|Uncle Milford]] (the town's Mayor) in LazyTown at the beginning of the pilot episode, [[Welcome to LazyTown|''Welcome to LazyTown'']]. She and Sportacus try to encourage the other children to get up and move and teach them about the value of eating fruits and vegetables, which they call [[sportscandy|'sportscandy']]. Stephanie's favorite color is pink; she wears pink clothing (usually a pink striped dress and light pink leggings), has pink hair, and most of the stuff she owns is also pink. She loves to play outside and often has a hard time convincing the other kids to come out and play. She is optimistic, her catch phrase being "There's always a way!" and doesn't seem to dislike anyone - she even describes town villain Robbie Rotten as a softie who really likes cake. She writes in a pink diary all the time, talking about her friends and her experiences in LazyTown. The episode was actually dedicated to it, called . She says that her best friend is Trixie, though she seems to spend more time with Ziggy, Stingy, and Sportacus.


Stephanie is played by [[Julianna Rose Mauriello]] in [[Season 1|Seasons 1]], [[Season 2|2]] and [[LazyTown Extra|Extra]]. The part of Stephanie was taken over by [[Chloe Lang]] for [[Season 3|Seasons 3]] and [[Season 4|4]].
Stingy, as his name implies, is the stingiest and greediest person in LazyTown. His catchphrase is "It's Mine!", which he says about almost everything, going as far as to having a song, [[The Mine Song]], where he claims that everything is LazyTown belongs to him. Most of the time, this is played for laughs or to the slight exasperation of his friends except in the episode '''''[[The Great Crystal Caper]]''''' where, after causing Sportacus to lose his crystal, Stingy finds and keeps it. He eventually gives it back and is deeply sorry and vows to try and do better at returning things that don't belong to him. His most prized possessions are his pink piggy-bank, simply called '''Piggy''', and his yellow toy-car, in which he can often be seen driving, or parked next to the Sports Field. Despite his greedy manner, he is a good friend who generally cares about them, and wouldn't let them down. He enjoys playing especially with his friends, but becomes hurt and angry, when he is excluded, or they don't want to play with him, as seen in '''''[[My Treehouse]]''''' when his friends exclude him from their "Friends Forever" club, on the basis that he can't work in a team (Later in the episode this is shown to be true, but he does immensely improve) he ties up the clubhouse with rope (While they are still inside!) and attempts to drag it away, he is stopped by Sportacus, who after asking him why, convinces the kids to let him join. He is very musical, with him shown on the Saxophone, Harmonica, Bass, and Recorder. He is great on roller-blades (Of which he owns many), and is quite good at soccer. He is very clean and hygienic (Owning ''many'' toothbrushes, and he even taught Ziggy how to brush his teeth!) As well as teaching the kids how important it is to clean up, and to keep everything tidy ('''''[[Trash Trouble]]''''').
His best friend is shown to be Ziggy. At the end of '''''[[The Great Crystal Caper]]''''', [[Trixie]] kisses him.


==Sportacus==
==Character Development==
[[Sportacus]] is a self-proclaimed 'above average hero' who lives in a giant airship above LazyTown. He is extremely athletic, seemingly unable to sit still or even walk without doing extensive gymnastics, and kind hearted. He rescues the town's residents (even the resident [[The LazyTown kitten|LazyTown kitten]]) multiple times per episode, and teaches the children valuable lessons, usually about health but sometimes about things like brushing your teeth, getting enough sleep, and not taking things that aren't yours. He wears a stretchy blue outfit with a hat and goggles - even when he sleeps - and has varying degrees of eyebrowness. He makes sure to go to bed at 8:08 every night, with exceptions in the case of [[Sleepless in LazyTown|''Sleepless in LazyTown'']] and [[Cry Dinosaur|''Cry Dinosaur'']], and is always full of energy. He is allergic to sugar, and when he does eat it he instantly falls into an exaggerated sugar crash, that he calls a sugar meltdown, which can only be cured by sportscandy. He speaks with a strong Icelandic accent (explained by having come from an "island in the North Sea") and is identified by the number 10, which is written on his back, his stuff, and on the [[Sportacus' crystal|crystal]] on his chest. This crystal is magical - it beeps and flashes whenever someone needs to be rescued, usually prompting his infamous phrase "Someone's in trouble!".
===Appearance===
Of all the characters, Stingy's outfits, are the most similar to each other.
In the first play, Stingy's outfit, consists of a yellow suit, a large black bow-tie, and black shoes. When he is next seen again, in '''''[[Glanni Glæpur í Latabæ]]''''', his outfit is almost identical to his current one, except his shirt is short-sleeved, he has short socks, and black Oxford Shoes.''
His current outfit is, a long-sleeved button-up shirt, with small pale blue/grey lines, a daffodil yellow waistcoat, knee-length shorts in the same yellow, long white socks, dark brown loafers, a red bow-tie, with a polka-dot pattern, and cuff links. He is the only person in LazyTown besides Sportacus (Whose hair is always hidden) who has brown hair. He wears it short, with some of it being swept over to the other side.


Sportacus is played by [[Magnús Scheving]], creator of LazyTown.
He is of average height, he has a circle-shaped face, with dark brown eyes, and heavy eyelids.


==Robbie Rotten==
===Personality===
[[Robbie Rotten]] is the town's villain. He lives underground on the outskirts of town and has a [[Robbie's periscope|periscope]] that lets him see what's going on in LazyTown. He is the "Master of Disguise," usually sporting at least one clever (or not-so-clever) disguise each episode. For some reason, he is never recognized in even his most flimsy disguises. He is also a talented inventor, although his inventions are always used to try to either make LazyTown lazy or get rid of Sportacus "FOREVER!". Robbie's lair includes a fuzzy orange chair, a retro telephone, five tubes holding disguises, a [[disguise machine]], and a tunnel leading to the outside. He loves being lazy and eating junk food, but often ends up doing a lot of activity when executing his schemes. He is very dramatic in his actions and facial expressions, and is not very graceful. His favorite color is a dark purple, and he wears a striped suit of two shades of purple as well as purple eye shadow. His chin is very large as are his teeth, and his hair is so shellacked as to look plastic.
