Story
Little Miss Naughty likes playing practical jokes. She awakens one day, thinking it looks like a good day for being naughty. She knocks Mr. Uppity's hat off his head and jumps on it, and breaks Mr. Clever's glasses. She also runs off with Mr. Bump's bandages, wrapping them on Mr. Small. The Mr. Men hold a meeting to decide what to do. Mr. Small meets with Mr. Impossible, who can make himself invisible, and each time Little Miss Naughty tries to do something naughty, Mr. Impossible tweaks her nose. After a week it cures Little Miss Naughty of her naughtiness.
The Mr. Men Show
In the 2008 TV series The Mr. Men Show, she kept her purple color and shape, but now has curly pink hair, dark fuchsia nose, pink rosy cheeks, her bow is a lighter shade of green and is smaller and neater, and also has a Transylvanian accent in the U.S. version and a Bristol accent in the U.K version. Her catchphrase: "Sometimes I just can't help myself." On occasion, her pranks always backfire on her in every episode. In the US and UK Versions, she is voiced by Alicyn Packard and Jo Wyatt (Season 1), Teresa Gallagher (Season 2). She replaced Little Miss Trouble a week before the first The Mr Men Show episode aired. She is first seen in Music, which was her first speaking appearance, but her first speaking appearance in the US version was in Movies, but she is used as a cameo in the UK version.
Trivia

- She is one of only five purple characters.
- In the US dub of Mr. Men and Little Miss, she speaks with a New Jersey accent. In the original UK broadcast, she spoke with a Birmingham accent.

The Mr. Men Show
- She is one of the three purple characters.
- Her US voice is similar to Magica De Spell from Ducktales.
- She made Mr. Messy clean in Library.
- She is seen once with her hair in a pony tail (Sand & Surf).
- In Robots, she created a robot called Mr. Metal.
- She appears more in season 2 than in season 1.
- She seems to have a crush on Mr. Bump. In "Dance", during Mr. Scatterbrain's square dance, she and Mr. Bump are seen dancing together, and on the "kick your partner in the rear" step, a heart appears above her head when she kicks Mr. Bump. In "Dance Dance Dance", during Mr. Nervous' safety message, the two are seen doing The Bump together. In "Out To Sea", during the commercial for Miss Sunshine's mermaid kit, she is seen running away with Mr. Bump.
