Aunt Tilly

Aunt Tilly   is   Sofia 's whimsical and adventurous step-aunt who appears in the   Sofia the First   episode " Great Aunt-Venture ".

Background
She is Roland's older sister and a duchess. She enjoys baking apple pies and going on adventures. She has a carpet bag that might be magical because of its ability to hold more items than it should, and she is in possession of various magical objects. She is always saying things aren't always as they seem, perfectly describing her.

To Amber and James she is considered boring and an embarrassment to them, she likes pinches their cheeks and pats them on the head, commenting how cute and little they were and asking them to be her "Little Helpers" in baking pies. Sofia however found her to be a "Whiz Bang!" person while accompanying her to pick apples for her apple pie and had a great adventure at the same time.

Trivia

 * Aunt Tilly's characteristics may be based on Mary Poppins, as both appear to know magic, they carry carpet bags that can hold more items than it should and as well carry umbrellas.
 * One of the few differences that makes them stand out between one another is their personalities: Mary Poppins was loving and kind, strict and firm on some occasions. Aunt Tilly was completely loving and joyful with no serious side.
 * Her voice is performed by actress Bonnie Hunt who did many voice roles for Pixar films such as Rosie from A Bug's Life, Sally Carrera from Cars, and Dolly from Toy Story 3.
 * Aunt Tilly is so far the only living relative of King Roland's family to appear in the series since their father is only mentioned at the end of Sofia the First: Once Upon a Princess and their grandfather only appears in a flashback during the episode "Let The Good Times Troll".
 * Aunt Tilly's personality might be based off of Ms. Frizzle from The Magic School Bus. Both are whimsical, adventurous and unafraid of danger.
