Concept
[edit]Noortje stars a young, red-haired[11] teenage girl with freckles.[12] Each episode is a self-contained story in which she usually makes a huge blunder or ends up in an embarrassing situation.[13]
Characters
[edit]- Noortje Visser: A young girl who is very clumsy and a bit naïve. She has a love for animals, but suffers from arachnaphobia[14] and dislikes cleaning up her room.[15] She is often late for school.[16] Originally the character was about 12 or 13 years old, but she is nowadays around 16.[17]
- Sander: Her brother, whom she feels annoyed with.[18]
- Marlies: Noortje's best friend.[19]
