[[quoteright:157:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mason.png]]
[[caption-width-right:157:"Woo-hoo! Surf's up!"]]
-> '''Voiced by''': Mitch Dean/Chance Scoggins

The star player of the Mammoth City Soccer Beetles, Mason Storm is confident, daring, and cool-headed. His father is Mac, a firefighter, and he has a younger brother named Michael.
----
* AwesomeMcCoolName
* MeaningfulName: He's said to be a ''storm'' out on the field.
* CoolBigBro: To Michael.
* CoolBoard: Has one of these.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: It's likely Mac passed on his expertise to his son, because [[spoiler: during the factory fire, Mason demonstrates safety procedures such as covering the mouth with wet fabric and manages to lead a lot of the kids out to safety.]]
* NiceGuy: When his friend makes fun of Taylor's younger brother Tommy when he tries to hand out flyers protesting Evel Beetle's factory, he tells him to knock it off. He's also pretty friendly in general and usually the one to hold Junior back when he gets aggressive.
* SuperToughness: At one point he wipes out pretty hard but doesn't appear too affected by it. In fact, [[SkewedPriorities all he cared about was fixing his damaged skateboard]].
* TooDumbToLive: He endangers other students (and himself) by showing off and doing elaborate skate tricks in the hallways.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: During the fire scenes.]]

----
* AmbidextrousSprite: Her bangs tend to switch directions depending on which way her head is facing.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Pretty much her whole character in the prequel. [[spoiler: Though she does gain support when she lets senator Hector Ruiz in on her concerns.]]
* AllWomenLoveShoes: Averted. She calls it an "insulting stereotype" when Tom brings it up.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Taylor's an environmentalist, and she dresses in blue, green, and brown, colors commonly associated with the Earth.
* ControlFreak: Described as someone who "could lighten up". This is especially so during one of their club meetings, in which she takes roll for the ''three'' members, including herself, and refuses to let anyone speak until they're recognized.
* CrazyPrepared: As said above.
--> '''Taylor''': If we don't do it right when there's only three of us, we won't do it right when we have a full classroom!
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Cares a great deal about nature.
* IgnoredExpert: She presents evidence that Evel Beetle's factory being built would cause pollution of the water supply and harm to animal life. However, she's dismissed for it because everyone favors the factory over the environment.
* InkSuitActor: Taylor is pretty similar to Hayley Williams, in that they're both religious, natural blondes with freckles, avoid meat, and sing in a band.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: She says she learned to get her facts together before making a claim from Tom.
* MissingMom: She has a father and several brothers, but her mother is never mentioned.
* NiceHat: She wears a striking cowboy hat.
* NoRespectGuy: Her efforts to save the world are usually ignored or ridiculed by her peers.
* OnlySaneMan: One of the few characters who distrusts Evel Beetle and is aware that what he plans to do will endanger the city.

* TokenReligiousTeammate: All of the kids are Christian, but it's made a bit more obvious with Taylor, who wears a cross necklace and mentions going to church.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The tomboy to Isabella's girly girl.
* YouthfulFreckles

!!Isabella Ruiz
[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/isabella_9.png]]
[[caption-width-right:100:"''Ay, bendito'', tell me you are ''not'' wearing that tonight!"]]
-> '''Voiced by''': Jennifer Heflin

Isabella Ruiz is the daughter of fashion designer Anna Ruiz and senator Hector Ruiz, and is portrayed as a trendy, popular, and amiable girl.
----
* AccentsArentHereditary: Her family is Puerto Rican, and while her parents have accents, she doesn't.
* AllWomenLoveShoes: She mentions buying new shoes for the Beetlecube launch party several times. She also says to a friend that her shoes are "''so'' ten minutes ago" and offers her loaners from her locker.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Comes off as this during the big soccer game, as well as when [[spoiler: her father withdraws his support for Evel Beetle's factory and her mother consequently gets fired, due to her taking that as not being able to attend the party.]]
* FamousAncestor: Anna and Hector Ruiz are both notable figures in Mammoth City. Isabella brings this up. [[BrokenRecord A lot]].
* GoldMakesEverythingShiny: Her outfit includes a golden necklace, ring, bangles, and hoop earrings.
* GratuitousSpanish: "''Ay, bendito...''"
* HollywoodThin: Isabella has a significant hourglass figure, considering her age.
* IAmXSonOfY: Almost all of her appearances in the prequel include this.
* ItsAllAboutMe: She asks everyone in the school hallway to keep it down purely so she can hear her friend on the other end of a phone call.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: Compared to the CD, where she's kinder and more sympathetic, Isabella acts elitist and haughty in the radio series, going as far as to ask Tommy when he approaches her table at lunch, "Do you know who I am?"
* PhoneaholicTeenager: She's frequently depicted talking with her friends on her cell. Anna has even said it's difficult to get through to her because of this.
* PinkMeansFeminine: Wears a pink-and-black-striped off shoulder top with lace, pink shoes, and pink eyeshadow.
* SpoiledBrat: In the radio series, she comes off as used to getting what she wants and becomes upset when she doesn't.
* SpoiledSweet: At least in the CD.
* TeensAreShort: She's the second-shortest of the team.
* TheDitz: E refers to her as "good hearted, but easily distracted".

--> '''E''': You have been chosen for a special mission.
--> '''Isabella''': You've ''got'' to bring some color in here—this fluorescent lighting does ''nothing'' for your skin tone.
* TheFashionista: In spades. She tends to comment on people's clothing and the like. After all, [[LikeFatherLikeSon her mother is a renowned fashion designer]].
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The girly girl to Taylor's tomboy.
* TookALevelInKindness: Isabella's noticeably nicer and more tolerant in the CD as opposed to the prequel. Where she calls Taylor's eco group "tree-hugging creeps", she later finds and comforts her in the hallway after Jill blows her off.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Somewhat. She's in middle school but calls Tommy an "underclassman", which is high school terminology.

* EvilSoundsDeep: Speaks in a low, gravelly, often monotone voice.
* MeaningfulName: Evel is, well, evil.

Even if suspicion arises, it's dismissed due to him being just all-around too rich and powerful.

----

--> '''Joe Stewart''': Another one for Moss!
--> '''Wally Bryce''': Hey, Stu, is Moss his first name or his last name?

* {{Foil}}: She's realistic and laid back where Taylor is serious and at times dramatic.
* OnlyFriend: She appears to be this to Taylor, at least until the latter joins up with Mason, Isabella, Junior, and Deejay. Crosses a bit into heartwarming seeing as, despite her blunt and smart-alecky nature, she's usually the one to go along with Taylor's plans, notably her Eco Kids club.
