- "Sit up straight, and hold up your microphone. Now sing!"
- ―Annie
Annie is one of the two tritagonists (alongside Quincy) of the Little Einsteins franchise.
She is Leo's 3 year-old (later 4 year-old) younger sister. She loves singing, playing with animals, and hugs from her big brother Leo. She is voiced by Natalia Wojcik in the original US dub and Elle McHugh (season 1)/Kirsty Hickey (season 2) in the UK dub.
About
Annie is the singer of the team.
Appearance
Annie is a young girl (the youngest member of the team) with fair skin, blonde hair put into pigtails with pink butterfly-shaped bows, and blue eyes. She wears a blue sleeveless denim dress (pink in Season 2), a green short-sleeved undershirt/blouse (light blue in Season 2), and reddish-pink/magenta and white Converse-like shoes (blue shoes and white socks in Season 2). Her dress is usually accompanied by a front solo pocket and stitches down the side.

Background
As the youngest of the quartet, Annie is the singer behind the group. Annie is defined as always adventurous. Annie resides with her brother Leo who is 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. During “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 by herself to save 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 formerly did not know the definition of "mission" (as seen in "How We Became the Little Einsteins: The True Story"), but learned it thanks to her best friend June.
Annie was initially aimed to be country-like during the early stages of the series wearing cowgirl boots, lighter complexion (still having fair skin with her brother Leo having much darker skin) and having freckles. Her looks differed from her sibling Leo, who has a little bit darker skin and green eyes, she gets tanner due to many outdoor activities during adventures with the Little Einsteins. Sometime during production, Leo and Annie both had main redesigns, making them closer to having a family relationship.
Annie seems fond of Leo and appreciates his company. Annie also may have Thalassophobia, which is the fear of being in the ocean (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, always giggling at points. Leo, Quincy, June, and Rocket congratulate and cheer for Annie when she sings. Annie is good at improvising, and she can make and sing songs right off the spot. This is commonly used 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 putting her hand on her chest and with one hand in the air. In season 2, she earned access to a microphone which allowed her to sing louder. Although she didn't get a microphone until season 2, Annie gets down when her microphone is missing and loses hope when doing so.
Throughout the series, Annie overtook new hobbies and interests such as her love with horses. She has befriended multiple 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. Take the blue footed booby bird from "The Blue-Footed Booby Bird Ballet" for example.
