Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} === Ramona Quimby === The main character. Energetic and inquisitive, Ramona is sometimes a handful for her parents and teachers. Despite that she enjoys school (except spelling, since she finds it boring) and gets along with most of her class. Line 9: Ramona's big sister, and the main character of ''Beezus and Ramona''. She fights with her sister often, but they still get along for the most part, especially as Ramona got older. * [[Bratty Teenage Daughter]]: She can be this at times, especially towards Ramona. * [[A Day in ~~The~~the Limelight]]: An odd occurrence since it is the first book of the series, but since Ramona took over the series afterwards, ''Beezus and Ramona'' is the only book about her. * [[Only Known Byby Their Nickname]]: Her real name is Beatrice, but Ramona started calling her Beezus when she was little and unable to pronounce her name correctly. It becomes a major issue in later books when she grows tired of the nickname. === Roberta Quimby === Line 24: === Aunt Beatrice === Dorothy's younger sister and Beezus' favorite aunt. She's an important secondary character in ''Beezus and Ramona'' but doesn't show up again until ''Ramona Forever''. * [[Put Onon a Bus]]: In the first book Aunt Beatrice is established as important part of the Quimby family and constant visitor to the house but, aside from being referenced in ''Ramona and Her Mother'', she doesn't make an appearance until six books and four years (29 years in real world time) later in ''Ramona Forever''. * [[Long -Lost Uncle Aesop\|Long Lost Aunt Aesop]]: She returns in ''Ramona Forever'' and marries Howie Kemp's uncle. === Picky-picky === Line 33: === Henry Huggins === Beezus' friend, and star of his own series. He's an important character in ''Beezus and Ramona'', and makes a few appearances in later Ramona books. * [[The All -American Boy]] * [[Precocious Crush]]: When she was five, Ramona decided that she was going to marry him. Line 39: A boy in Ramona's class. In kindergarten she thought he was cute and would chase him around trying to kiss him. He has trouble in school, and Ramona often tries to help him out. * [[To Be Lawful or Good]]: Ramona is often reprimanded for trying to help him out in class instead of doing her own work. * [[Put Onon a Bus]]: He's never seen again after ''Ramona the Brave'' since they end up in different classrooms. === The Kemp family === Line 50: === Susan Kushner === A girl in Ramona's classes throughout the series, and one of the few that Ramona doesn't get along with. In kindergarten Ramona was obsessed with tugging on Susan's curls and yelling "boing!", but their full-blown animosity didn't start until first grade when Susan copied Ramona's art project and Ramona retaliated by destroying Susan's work. Ramona makes peace with her at the very end of ''Ramona's World'' when she realizes that Susan is only the way she is because of her mother. * [[Early -Bird Cameo]]: Susan Kushner, who would become Ramona's [[The Rival\|rival]] throughout elementary school, first appears in ''Beezus and Ramona'' as one of a bunch of kids invited to Ramona's party. * [[The Rival]]: to Ramona Line 59: A boy in Ramona's fourth grade class. Even though he starts out teasing her and stealing her eraser, they become friends and she quickly develops a crush on him. * [[Insult Backfire]]: Ramona gives him the nickname "Yard Ape", which he enjoys. He tries calling her "Bigfoot", but she only responds with "that's Superfoot to you". * [[Only Known Byby Their Nickname]]: He's only refereed to by his real name in the series when addressed by adults. Even the narration calls him Yard Ape. * [[UST]]: Well, in the sense that 9-year olds can have sexual tension. Ramona and Yard Ape both clearly have crushes on each other, but they don't want to admit it to each other, and the series ends before they're old enough to start dating.
