Line 101: ===Primary=== * '''Charlie Sonner''' (voiced by Jethro Lundie-Brown in Series 1, Daniel Mayers in Series 2, and Oriel Agranoff in Series 3) is the imaginative and helpful 7-year-old brother of Lola. He has platinum blond hair like Lola. Charlie is often asked to look after Lola, and he sometimes has to think of creative ways to keep her busy. He often breaks the fourth wall by talking about Lola to the viewers. * '''Lola Sonner''' (voiced by Maisie Cowell in Series 1, Clementine Cowell in Series 2, and Holly Callaway in Series 3) is an imaginative and quirky 54-year-old girl.<ref name="character-outlines">{{cite web \|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2005/10_october/10/lola_characters.shtml/\| title=Character oulines \|publisher= BBC \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304194253/http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2005/10_october/10/lola_characters.shtml/\|archive-date=2016-03-04}}</ref> Lola is the younger sister of Charlie and is best friends with Lotta.

After meeting at school, they became friends quickly and spend a lot of time together. Lotta usually follows Lola's lead, and is in awe of Charlie, Marv, and Sizzles~~. She has black curly hair~~. * '''Soren Lorenson''' (voiced by Stanley Street) is Lola's [[imaginary friend]], rendered as monochrome and translucent. When Lola and Soren Lorenson are playing, he is rather detailed (has the look of a real person only grey and translucent). When someone interrupts them (such as Charlie), he still has detail but becomes more unknown. ===Minor=== * '''Minnie Reader''' (voiced by Katie Hedges) is is a girl in Lola and Lotta's class. She wears glasses and likes guinea pigs and ponies. Minnie is often seen with Evie. * '''Morten Lowe''' (voiced by Macauley Keeper) is Marv's younger brother and a friend of Lola's.

In "I Am Extremely Absolutely Boiling", Arnold drops Lola's ice cream, causing Lola to become furious at him and not be friends with him~~. However~~, but he makes it up to her by letting her use his paddling pool.<ref>{{Cite episode \|title=I Am Extremely Absolutely Boiling \|series=Charlie and Lola \|network=[[CBeebies]] \|series-no=3 \|number=4 \|airdate=29 November 2007}}</ref> * '''Evie''' (voiced by Lara Mayers) is a girl in Lola and Lotta's class.
