These shows and movies provided wholesome entertainment for many of us during our childhood and early teen years, leading to the current obsession with nostalgia culture. We all have a favorite character from the golden era of Disney Channel, and you’d be surprised to see what yours says about you.

Lizzie McGuire (Lizzie McGuire)

There’s a 99.99% chance that you’re a Swiftie, and you’re proud of it. As a kid, you were always the girl who followed the rules, but you’ve learned that some rules are meant to be broken to have a little fun. You may not go as far as impersonating an Italian pop star, but you know when it’s time to let your hair down.

Miranda Sanchez (Lizzie McGuire)

You pride yourself on being a good and loyal friend but also have a strong sense of self. You refuse to let others walk all over you, but it’s important to remember that there are plenty of people out there who have good intentions too. You’ve been burned in the past, but don’t let that stop you from making new friends.

Ren Stevens (Even Stevens)

You’re the epitome of the eldest daughter syndrome and used to let it get the best of you, but now you use it to help you succeed. When you were a kid, you were anxious because you wanted to set a good example for your siblings (even when they drove you crazy), but that taught you to be a leader and have a strong work ethic. You now use these skills to help you succeed in your career and remain close to your family.

Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana (Hannah Montana)

You’re a perfectionist but have learned that everybody makes mistakes (we couldn’t resist, and we’re not sorry) because nobody’s perfect. When you set your mind on achieving something, you know that you’re going to do it. Whether it’s getting a promotion at work or cooking the perfect date night meal for your boyfriend, you always strive to be the best at everything you do.

Lilly Truscott (Hannah Montana)

You always have been and always will be a loyal friend, and your friends love and appreciate you for it. Growing up, you were a tomboy but are now comfortable in your femininity. You still enjoy more traditionally masculine things and likely know more football stats than the average bro, which is something you take pride in.

Alex Russo (Wizards of Waverly Place)

You’ve always been one who likes to bend the rules, and that hasn’t stopped in adulthood. You don’t break the law, but you’re not above putting your own snacks or drink in your purse when you go to the movies. You’re always a good time and a loyal friend, and everyone close to you knows how blessed they are to have you.

Raven Baxter (That’s So Raven)

Nothing is more important to you than your family and friends, a value that was instilled in you at a young age, and you plan on carrying that with you for the rest of your life. You’ve been a fashion girlie for as long as you can remember, often going as far as copying outfits from Limited Too catalogs in middle school. Now that you’re an adult, you still find ways to dress to the nines whether you’re a college student, work a corporate job, or are a stay-at-home mom. You believe fashion is art, so why not put on a show?

Maddie Fitzpatrick (The Suite Life of Zack and Cody)

You’re an overachiever in every sense of the word. From when you were in school to now in the workforce, you always go above and beyond. While your work ethic is admirable (and you work just as hard on being good to your family and friends), make sure you take care of yourself. Your mental health will thank you for it.

London Tipton (The Suite Life of Zack and Cody)

It’s okay to admit it: You like being underestimated. When you were growing up, people often underestimated you because you were always the ultrafeminine girl, and some assumed this meant you were frivolous and weak. You love nothing more than proving them wrong because you’ve always known how powerful femininity is.

Gabriella Montez (High School Musical)

In high school, you were the girl so focused on academics and building a strong college application that you had little to no social life. While you’re proud of your academic accomplishments, you sometimes wish that you had more fun back then. You make up for it by prioritizing your friends and family now and are even more devoted to the ones you love because of it.

Sharpay Evans (High School Musical)

You were a theatre kid in high school and have yet to learn to let go of wanting to be in the spotlight. You like to be the leader of everything and often the center of attention, but not in a bad way. You’re a natural leader (which is something to be proud of), but sometimes you need to take a step back for your own sanity.

Closing Thoughts

From the hilariously extra London Tipton from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody to the down-to-earth Lizzie from Lizzie McGuire, your favorite Disney Channel character from your childhood years has more to say about your personality than you’d think.
