The Ballerina is a character that appears in the Sofia the First episode "Minding the Manor". She is a magical figurine that is part of Tilly's magic music box.
Background[]
Personality[]
The Ballerina is very absent-minded to the point where, according to Tilly, she is very forgetful to the point where she can't remember important things. This can make her more of a liability than an asset as shown when she forgot that the green roll brings the gargoyles to life and when she wasn't able to help Sofia find the roll that turns them back to stone due to not being able to remember which one it is.
The ballerina figurine is an animated attachment on top of Duchess Matilda's magical music box. She twirls around like any ballerina toy would, but can also talk and move her limbs, although she cannot leave the box as she is permanently attached to the spinning mechanism. She has a pleasant, but forgetful personality. She appears to be the consciousness of the music box itself, since she refers to herself as a magic music box.
The magical music box is Duchess Matilda's (Aunt Tilly) automatic musical instrument in a box that produces musical notes by using a set of pins placed on a revolving cylinder to pluck the teeth of a steel comb. It is magical because of the different magical music rolls that can be placed inside which produces something magical with each sound, such as a rainbow roll creating a small rainbow or a stone roll to bring to life the three gargoyle statues that live on the roof of Aunt Tilly's manor house, which can be undone by playing a stone roll. On top of the box is a talking ballerina that swirls around while the music is played and also appears to be the consciousness of the music box itself, as she identifies herself as the music box.

Trivia[]
- The power of the rolls may come from the Isle of Magical Music.
- The music box seems to talk through the ballerina figurine on top of it, since she refers to herself as the music box.
History[]
She first appears after Tilly brings Sofia to her music room and plays the rainbow roll on her. When Sofia decides to play the green roll on her, she tells Sofia that's a very special roll but can't remember what's special about it. This turns out to be a bad idea because it brings the manor's gargoyles to life, which she remembers after she sees them. Sofia asks her which roll turns them back to stone but she can't remember. After the gargoyles boot Sofia and Spruce out, they try to destroy her. Sofia and Spruce sneak back in. While Spruce and Tilly's flying fish keep the gargoyles busy, Sofia finds the stone roll and turns them back to stone by playing it on her.
