Nanette Manoir is the main antagonist of the Canadian cut-out animated TV series Angela Anaconda. She’s the arch-enemy and rival of Angela Anaconda, the titular character.
Biography[]
Nanette is a very snobby, selfish girl and a highly manipulative brat. She’s considered the teacher's pet and often acts nice around the adults and has most wrapped around her finger.
However, around Angela and her friends, Nanette's true colors are revealed. She treats them poorly, gets Angela into trouble and acts superior around them resulting in Angela calling her "Ninny Poo", "Ninny Wart" and "Nincom Ninny". She has feelings for Johnny Abatti, which he usually rejects.
Though Nanette is American, she is under the delusion that she is completely French. However, her knowledge of the French language is limited as she mistakenly believes some French words have other meanings. Even though her ancestors immigrated to the United States from France, she considers herself a pure-blooded Frenchwoman instead of a French American.
Her parents are very snobby as well, they don't see how horrible their daughter really is (especially at school), and never punish her for what she does is wrong. Their snobbishness could be the reason she is a snob in the first place, but unlike Nanette, they can admit when they're wrong and be friendly.
Nannette's only friends are January and Karlene, whom Angela nicknames the "Copycat Clone Club" as they copy whatever Nanette does, follow her around and when she says anything. Nanette treats them more like servants than friends.
Since Angela often can't do anything about Nanette since the girl has such control over most adults, especially Mrs. Brinks, their teacher, Angela often fantasizes of revenge against Nanette.
Nanette has gotten in trouble on occasion with Mrs. Brinks, such as the time when Mrs. Brinks heard her true intentions of using her as a puppet for her own selfish desires in her letter to her pen pal resulting in her staying behind to wash the blackboard after school, when Nannette threw a stellar student star in her garbage and when she insulted her by saying that Mrs. Brinks' birthday party was organized for nothing (the class was promised to see what they thought was Amelia Earhart's compass if they behaved for 30 days straight, but it was ruined when Angela was caught chewing gum, resulting in the party to try and see the compass, only to discover it was a fake and the whole thing was a scam to get the kids to behave). But most of the time, Nannette’s hardly punished for her misdeeds, however in the end Angela has the last laugh when Nanette's nasty deeds backfire or she does something to teach her a lesson.
Nannette's blonde hair is actually brown.
Like all the other characters on Angela Anaconda, Nanette is created and animated using computer-distorted cutouts of black-and-white photos of an actual person.
