Gigi “Madame” Gazelle is a recurring character in "Peppa Pig".
Biography[]
Madame Gazelle is a recurring character in the series. She is one of the only recurring characters to not have an instant family. She is the triplet sister of Greta and Gretel Gazelle, both of which are minor characters in the show. She is a schoolteacher and teaches at an old-fashioned school, which is referred to as "the playgroup." She is also very wise and has many talents. She can speak multiple languages, as seen in Talking, and she is very athletic because she won a trophy for skiing, as seen in Snowy Mountain. She can dance professionally, play the guitar, and sing. Besides teaching, she also works additional jobs such as driving a school bus and playing music. She plays in a band called The Rocking Gazelles with her sisters. Despite being talented, Madame Gazelle is also quite mysterious. This can be seen near the end of Pumpkin Party, when her reflection is intentionally not seen in the mirror. Another example can be seen in Sun, Sea and Snow, when she swims pleasurely in freezing cold water. It is theorized by internet users that Madame Gazelle may be a vampire because she uses phrases like "the old country."
Personality[]
Madame Gazelle is kindhearted, inclusive, brave, and outgoing. She cares about her children and always tries to accommodate them, and she often tells them stories about teaching their mummies and daddies when they were little. In Mr. Bull is Getting Married!, Madame Gazelle notifies the town to help out Mr. Bull when she discovers that he is getting married. In Numbers, she includes Daddy Pig in their activity when he shows up to playgroup too early, and in School Camp, she sings to the children when they cannot sleep at night. She is also lazy, as seen in Kiddie Workout!, when she initially refuses to exercise. Despite being a nice teacher, Madame Gazelle can sometimes be stern. An example of this can be seen in Move to Music, when she refuses to make the radio "go wrong again." She can also become snappy and impatient when she cannot do something. This is seen in Peggi and Pandora, when she is unable to find her phone in the classroom.

Trivia[]
- She was shown teaching ballet class to the children in one episode.
- The Rocking Gazelles call her Gigi, making her the first adult character to have their real name revealed.
- The second being Grampy Rabbit as Reggie Rabbit.
- She was in a band called The Rocking Gazelles.
- She is named Mrs. Gazelle in the American dub on Tickle U and she speaks with an Indian accent.
- Throughout the series, there are multiple indications that Madame Gazelle is a vampire:
- In the episode “Pumpkin Party,” Madame Gazelle strangely did not have a reflection in the mirror, which was even noticed by the Narrator. She also stated in this episode that Suzy's vampire costume reminded her of the 'olden days'.
- In the episode "Madame Gazelle's House", there is an old Christmas tree next to Madame Gazelle's house, causing it to be wonky. When Mr Bull climbs the tree to check if there are any living beings, he finds bats. Madame Gazelle says that her "friends, the bats" have reminded her of the "old country". Also, the Christmas tree is very large as Madame Gazelle had owned it since it was a little tree.
- She was also the teacher of all the parents when they were little. This also leads people to believe she is a vampire, as she may be immortal. While all the parents were little, Madame Gazelle still looked as old as she is now.
- In the Peppa Pig Tales episode Plane Ride, she was afraid of flying in a plane. Perhaps the sun is the reason why.
- In "Wildflower Wood", Madame Gazelle reveals she doesn't like to eat wild garlic.
- She is one of the few grown up characters seen spinning. With the first one being Daddy Pig. She is likely first seen spinning in the Peppa Pig Tales episode Cinco de Mayo.
