While basically a Sitcom , ''The Proud Family'' presents young audiences with different daily situations that many teenagers might have to face during their teenage and adult years. ''The Proud Family'' has ended with the final episode, a made-for-TV ''Proud Family'' movie was released in August 2005 .
- - The main character. She is fourteen years old (though in the movie she is sixteen). Penny is usually embarrassed by the way her parents are. She enjoys hanging out with her friends, even though they have gotten her into trouble many times.
- - Penny's father, a born loser and an aspiring snack food salesman who overprotects his daughter. He hates Wizard Kelly. Oscar's snack food called "Proud Snacks" tastes terrible to everyone and can even make them sick.
- - Penny's ambitious, loving and moral-teaching mother who is both respectful of others, fun-loving and fashion-conscious. She is a Veterinarian .
- - Penny's grandmother, a crotchety (yet oddly youthful) old woman who dotes on her granddaughter and poodle. She and her son Oscar generally don't get along, and she is always quick with a witty put-down. She knows Tae-bo and loves watching wrestling. She has a major crush on Papi (see below), even though she does not know what he is saying, since he only speaks Spanish.
- is Suga Mama's pet poodle dog, Be Be and Ce Ce like playing with (and sometimes torturing) him.
- - Penny's three-year old baby brother, one of a pair of twins. He has a huge Afro that covers his eyes, and is never seen without a bottle dangling from his mouth.
- - Bebe's twin. Like her brother, she almost never speaks, and occasionally laughs or coos.
- - Penny's deadbeat uncle and Oscar's older brother, who usually speaks in singsong and dresses in outfits from the 1970 s. Bobby has his own song called ''So Dysfunkshunal''. Bobby, unlike Oscar, is very successful and even has his own band.
- - Penny's plump best friend. She has many, many siblings and a ''huge'' crush on Sticky (see below).
- - Penny's geeky white friend. Her mother is a limosine driver. (She was eighteen years old in the first season; later, she was converted back to fourteen years old).
- - Penny's (and all the girls') guy friend who likes acting ''cool''. He always wears a doo rag. Dijonay has a major crush on him and he constantly rejects her.
- - Penny's fair-weathered friend who is popular, trendy and wealthy. Her name is taken from the famous La Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles . "La Cienaga" means "The Swamp" in Spanish. She is a multi-talented beauty, in dancing, swimming (she has big feet) and self-defense, her mother being a cop. LaCienega is often rude to people, especially Penny. LaCienega is a hypocrite.
- - LaCienega's mother, who is also a police officer. She is a strong-willed, opinionated woman (possibly a Feminist ). Like her daughter, her name is reminiscent of a street, Los Angeles 's Sunset Boulevard .
- - The primary father figure in the Boulevardez household. He often is portrayed as Oscar's good friend. Even though they have disagreements, their camaraderie generally prevails. Oscar and Felix have very similar familial situations (Married couple, teenage daughter, older grandparent.) but the Boulevardez family is shown to have more money (for example, Felix's giant, private home theater).
- - LaCienega's grandfather. He looks like an aged Cesar Romero , speaks only Spanish , and often utters a high deranged laugh patterned after Romero's Joker . Suga Mama constantly tries to hit on Papi, but since she does not understand Spanish, she never realizes that Papi constantly insults her, instead thinking that he is complimenting her.
- - Three ashy girls (their skin color is drawn as blue in the series) who bully everyone, usually extorting money, but have good hearts deep inside. Penny tries to tolerate and even help them, but often comes to regret it. Nubia is the ringleader and the only one that talks, Olay is the muscle and the one with the biggest heart and Gina is the short one who always has her hand out expecting cash. The Gross sisters love to sing since they have beautiful voices, although Gina sings in a man's deep voice.
- - "It all started with an orange basketball." Based upon both Magic Johnson (wealthy, entrepreneurial, and eclectic) and Dennis Rodman (arrogant), he is a millionaire pro Basketball player who has a talented finger in every pot. Every building, business, and company in the Prouds' world bears The Wizard's name. His face has never been shown to viewers although sometimes his mouth has.
