Horrid Henry is a mischievous troublemaker who has a few anger management issues and is a little bit over-exhilarant, with features of arrogance too. He is a bad-tempered, hot headed kid with a smart mouth. He's also extremely skeptical of authority, or just anything that kids stereotypically hate, such as school, but he's also a trendy kid who's always in on the latest trends. Due to his mischievous behaviour, he's disliked by most of his teachers. Henry is known to be horrid, but by Series 2, he had become nicer, and by series 3, he has become quite popular. Miss Battle-Axe is Henry's teacher who is incredibly strict. She always keeps an eye on Henry in school as he is horrid and doesn't pay attention in class. She constantly gives Henry detentions for never doing his homework and when he disrespects her lessons and they both have a strong hate on each other. However Miss Battle-Axe does appear to be proud if Henry on very rare occasions such as when he saved his younger brother (Perfect Peter) or when he delivers messages to the teachers for them after being asked too.
