* BeastAndBeauty: The Beast to Mei.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's a wolf after all, and even a NobleWolf will rip the throat out of a threat.
* BirdsOfAFeather: With Mei.

Assuming he's dead, Gabu blames himself and breaks down crying. Later, he breaks ''again'', in the snow cave, when him and Mei were starving to death. Mei wanted to ''offer himself as a sacrifice'' to Gabu, so that he could make it through the treacherous mountain. Gabu breaks down ''hard'', overwhelmed by tears, he curses his life and wishes he was never born a wolf.]]

* ForbiddenFriendship: With Mei.

* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:After runnning away from the wolves to the point where both him and Mei are starving to death, he decides that he's had enough. He finally gets over his fear of jumping off of cliffs and jumps down hundreds of feet, ready to kick some ass]].

* ScarsAreForever: Even in Gabu's flashback when they were all pups, Beach still had the exact same eyepatch on.

* AmbiguousGender: In the books; the film makes him male.
* BeastAndBeauty: The Beauty to Gabu.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: A rare male example, but throughout the movie, Mei never really suffers any injuries and his fur never got dirty. He was almost a [[ThePollyanna Pollyanna]], [[BreakTheCutie at least until near the end.]]
* BirdsOfAFeather: With Gabu.
* BreakTheCutie: ''Twice.'' Poor, poor Mei, [[spoiler:while he and Gabu are crossing the treacherous mountain, they both run into a nasty blizzard. Mei and Gabu find shelter in a cave and Mei solemnly tells Gabu that he won't make it and Gabu should eat him for survival. Seeing Mei become so serious and somber after being cheerful throughout the movie just hits hard. Later, he breaks ''again'', in the cave that Gabu drags him into after Gabu lost his memory, Mei desperately tries to convince Gabu to remember him. Mei tearing up when Gabu yells at him and tells Mei that he will eat him no matter what is ''heartbreaking''.]]

* MeaningfulName: "Mei" is the Japanese onomatopoeia for the noise a goat makes.
* MessyHair: And it's adorable, just look at the picture!
* MoralityChain: To Gabu, if it wasn't for him, Gabu would have still been hunting goats. And after Mei meets him, Gabu refuses to eat any goats throughout the entire film, [[spoiler: even when Mei himself tells Gabu to eat him. During the scene where Gabu has lost his memory, it seemed like Gabu reverted to his old goat-hunting ways since Mei is the one who kept him from eating goats.]]
* NiceGuy: The cutest and sweetest goat you can meet!
* NotSoDifferent: From Gabu, turns out that both their mothers died when they were young and gave them similar advice.

That was, until he nearly died in the ice cave and when he was abused and about to be eaten up by Gabu himself.]]

!Tap
->''Voiced By Shōzō Hayashiya IX''
An overweight goat who acts as an elder brother figure to Mei.

The leader of the goats of the Sawasawa Mountains.
* IncurableCoughOfDeath:[[spoiler: {{Subverted}}. He was still alive at his last appearance before Mei and Gabu ran away.]]
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure[[spoiler:: And in abstract, his objection to Mei befriending a wolf is reasonable in context -- if the wolf is not absolutely trustworthy to all the goats, it's a grim threat to their survival.]]
!Mei's Grandmother
->''Voiced By Etsuko Ichihara''
She raised Mei after his mother was killed, and is later shocked when Mei befriends Gabu. She does not appear in the book series.
* UnnamedParent: Grandparent, to be exact.

[[folder:The Wolves]]
!Gabu
->''Voiced by Shidō Nakamura II''
A wolf from the Bakubaku Valley.[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_ltyxzhYA4A1r28do2o1_1281_3645.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:Gabu the Wolf.]]
* {{Adorkable}}: Despite being a competent, dangerous predator, Gabu is more of an affable, anxious goof than a rough, tough, mean lupine like his packmates, making him a misfit, especially after Mei turns him soft. In fact, the only time we see hardass Gabu in the film is when he has amnesia.
* BeastAndBeauty: The Beast to Mei.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's a wolf after all, and even a NobleWolf will rip the throat out of a threat.
* BirdsOfAFeather: With Mei.
* BreakTheCutie: ''Twice.'' Just like Mei; poor, poor Gabu. [[spoiler:After he survives the waterfall, he desperately calls out for Mei. Assuming he's dead, Gabu blames himself and breaks down crying. Later, he breaks ''again'', in the snow cave, when him and Mei were starving to death. Mei wanted to ''offer himself as a sacrifice'' to Gabu, so that he could make it through the treacherous mountain. Gabu breaks down ''hard'', overwhelmed by tears, he curses his life and wishes he was never born a wolf.]]
* CategoryTraitor: The other wolves in Gabu's pack consider him to be a freak, a fool and a traitor because of his unprecedented friendship with Mei, and they repeatedly try to kill him out of spite, principle and disgust.
* ClifftopCaterwauling
* CranialEruption: He gets one on the forehead after being kicked by Tap.
* DisappearedDad: He was never seen in Gabu's flashbacks. However, Giro said that Gabu's father was his best friend, but it's never stated what happened to him.
* EasyAmnesia: [[spoiler:After Gabu has a TapOnTheHead (well, an avalanche), when he and Mei are next reunited, Gabu doesn't remember who he is or where he came from, except that goats are his absolute favorite food. He recovers his memory when Mei says "One stormy night".]]
* FearOfLightning: In fact, it's how he and Mei first met when they both took refuge in a barn during a thunderstorm.
* ForbiddenFriendship: With Mei.
* GentleGiant
* GrowlingGut: [[spoiler: PlayedForDrama, Gabu desperately fights his hunger while Mei offers himself as a meal to Gabu. Gabu breaks down crying from being overwhelmed by starvation and can't stand the thought of eating his own best friend.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: During the climax, he charges into a fight he knows he has no chance of winning or surviving, so that Mei can have a better chance of living and the goat won't suffer for his past, ironically rejecting the HeroicSacrifice Mei had tried to do for him a few minutes earlier.]]
* HowlingToTheNight
* InterspeciesFriendship: With Mei.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Never hesitates to help Mei when he is in distress.
* LastStand: [[spoiler: During the climax of the film, poor Gabu finally runs out of hope. He knows he and Mei will probably starve to death on the mountain, and he knows his pack will never stop hunting him and trying to kill them both for being a traitor, so he stops running and does the only thing he can do for Mei anymore - try to fight off his former comrades and take as many of them down as he can. Despite fighting a battle he's doomed to lose from being outnumbered, Gabu ultimately survives thanks to an unexpected avalanche.]]
* LittleGuyBigBuddy: The Big Buddy to Mei.
* LittleGuyBigBuddy: The Big Buddy to Mei.
* LovableCoward: ''In spades'' when he was a pup in his flashback!
* MeaningfulName: "Gabu" is the Japanese onomatopoeia for biting.
* NiceGuy: One of the nicest wolves you could meet. He is the sweetest and kindest of his pack and, surprisingly, for a wolf, managed to refuse to eat Mei because he [[ThePowerOfFriendship values friendship more]].
* NobleWolf: A wolf that places greater importance on friendship than food.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: When he tries to nibble sleeping Mei's ear.
* NotSoDifferent: From Mei, turns out that both their mothers died when they were young and gave them similar advice.
* OddFriendship: With Mei.
* PredatorTurnedProtector: Even if he's a wolf, he will always help and protect his best friend who is a goat.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: As a puppy.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly Man to Mei's Sensitive Guy, though not so manly. He is stronger and more arrogant than Mei though.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: In the Italian dub ([[NoExportForYou which also happens to be the only official one in the West]]) his name is changed to Gav. Considering how Japanese transliteration works, both versions are technically correct.
* TenderTears: He sheds quite a few throughout the film, usually whenever Mei is in danger, to show how his character grows more and more soft-hearted through ThePowerOfFriendship.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:After runnning away from the wolves to the point where both him and Mei are starving to death, he decides that he's had enough. He finally gets over his fear of jumping off of cliffs and jumps down hundreds of feet, ready to kick some ass]].
* TookALevelInJerkass: [[spoiler:Temporarily, after Gabu's fight with the wolves, the avalanche gave him amnesia and he didn't know who Mei or even who ''he'' was. He only saw Mei as a delicious treat and abused him until Mei tells him that they met "[[TitleDrop One Stormy Night]]."]]
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: The fate he and Mei suffer when their groups find out that they've been hanging out.
!Giro
->''Voiced By Riki Takeuchi''

* BigBad
* EarAche: At the very beginning of the film, Giro gets his ear bitten off by Mei's mother.
* EarNotch
* ScarsAreForever
* SurroundedByIdiots: He is pretty much the [[Disney/TheLionKing Scar]] of this film and his pack are the [[Disney/TheLionKing hyenas.]]
* VileVillainSaccharineShow
!Barry
->''Voiced By Creator/KoichiYamadera''
A red-haired wolf and Giro's right-hand man.
* TheDragon
!Beach and Zack
->''Voiced By Tetsuya Yanagihara and Yoshiyuki Hirai''
A pair of twin wolves.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Zack gets distracted from the task at hand by pointing out a pretty flower.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: They looked incompetent since they couldn't notice that Gabu and Mei were in the bushes in right front of them. [[spoiler: That is until, they actually heard Gabu and saw his ears poking out of the bushes, and [[OhCrap called out to all the other wolves.]] Cue ChaseScene.]]
* CloudCuckoolander: Zack, especially since he is always seen smiling with his tongue out.
* EyepatchOfPower: For Beach
* FatAndSkinny: Beach is fat and Zack is skinny.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Zack is foolish, Beach is responsible.
* KindheartedSimpleton: Zack could be this, due to his ditzy attitude and love for flowers.
* ManChild: Zack
* PolarOppositeTwins
* {{Punch Clock Villain}}s: They look nice enough, they are never seen angry or serious when [[spoiler: they are sent to find Gabu so that he can be executed. They are just doing it likely because they will possibly be killed if they don't succeed in finding Gabu.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: Zack is red and Beach is blue, because Zack is quirky and energetic, while Beach is calm and collected.
* ScarsAreForever: Even in Gabu's flashback when they were all pups, Beach still had the exact same eyepatch on.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Zack is the Sensitive Guy, because he is innocent, cheerful and has a childlike voice. Beach is the Manly Man because he is bigger, tougher and has a deeper voice. When Zack and Beach were searching for Gabu, Zack pointed out a beautiful flower and showed his sensitive side by saying how pretty it was and promised not to step on it when Beach told him to.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: They are never seen apart in any scene.
!Gabu's Mother
