* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Shaun's IntellectualAnimal traits are amplified a great deal from his ''Wallace and Gromit'' appearances, now practically on par with Gromit. As a consequence he also gains a more mischievous and ever-curious and inventive personality, compared to the mindless ExtremeOmnivore he was in the latter.

[[folder:The Flock]]

!! Shaun the Sheep
The titular character of ''Shaun the Sheep''. He is the unofficial leader of the flock, and the most intelligent. He first debuted in ''Wallace and Gromit'' film ''A Close Shave'', but he became an EnsembleDarkHorse - enough to get his own show.

* CoolBigBro: They're cousins, but Shaun acts like one to Timmy sometimes.
* IntellectualAnimal: The entire flock is this, but Shaun stands out in particular.
* IWasHavingSuchANiceDream: Shaun dreams of being the first sheep on the Moon until awakened - ''twice'' - by Shirley's snoring!
* JerkassBall: Holds this in episode "The Farmer's Llamas", due to having a more mean-spirited sense of humor than usual and hanging around with the aforementioned llamas. He even tricked the Farmer into buying them in an auction.
* TheLeader: Of his own flock.
* LovableRogue: His schemes often involve screwing the Farmer or Bitzer in some way, but he has no harmful intent and occasionally tries to do nice things for them to compensate. Usually the rest of the flock get in on this too.
* SilentSnarker: To an extent.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: He's smaller and less fleeced than his fellow sheep (barring Timmy who is an infant toddler), but he is the most intelligent of the flock.

!! Timmy
The youngest of the flock. He is the son of Shaun's aunt, making them cousins. A few of his misadventures are caused by his own childlike curiosity.

* AdultFear: His flock's reaction every time he wanders off alone.
* ChildrenAreInnocent
* CompanionCube: His orange teddy bear. To the point where it serves as a plot point in one episode where the Farmer takes it away from him, causing him to cry until Shaun can get it back.
* HatesBaths: In episode "Spring Lamb".
* IconicItem: His teddy bear and his yellow pacifier. He loses the pacifier in ''Timmy Time'', as he is a preschooler by human years.
* LivingDoorstop: Poor Timmy has been used as a paintbrush, chalkboard eraser, table, plug for a ship's horn, pillow, curling stone, and handkerchief over the course of just two seasons!
* OddFriendship: In episode "The Farmer's Llamas", [[spoiler:he befriends an enraged rhinoceros]].
* TightropeWalking: Does this in episode "Big Top Timmy".

!! Timmy's Mother
Shaun's aunt and the mother of young Timmy, making both Shaun and Timmy cousins. She tends to be a bit careless in looking after Timmy, but should Timmy disappear or get himself in trouble, she is inconsolable until her son is safe and sound.

* AdultFear: As Timmy's mother, she reacts strongly whenever Timmy wanders off unsupervised or gets himself in danger. An example would be "Big Top Timmy" after Timmy sneaks away to the circus; when she finds Timmy missing the next morning, she has a big FreakOut.
* IconicItem: Her pink hair curlers. She also carries a pink coin purse which pops up in a few episodes.
* TheSpeechless: Technically. But when Timmy is endangered, she lets out bleats that sound heavily like "Oh no!".
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Played straight in her case, as her hair curlers is a play on a [[{{Housewife}} stereotypical housewife]].

!! Shirley
The largest of the sheep, characterized by her huge size and love of food.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Towards the Fox in one episode.
* BigEater: Obviously, which explains why she's so large. Her eating habits are a plot point for episode "Shape Up with Shaun", where her heavy weight makes Shaun come up with a plan for her to lose weight.
* TheBigGuy: Becomes a female example in "Lock Out", [[spoiler:in order to deal with Pidsley]].
* BigFun: Shirley is so large she gets wedged in sheepruns and between gateposts, which is not surprising for a BigEater. She also makes for a useful trampoline.
* FatComicRelief: She makes a good trampoline, among other things.
* HammerSpace: Her large fleece serves as a storage space for all kinds of objects. It is so large that other animals and even Shaun can hide in her fleece without trouble.
* HiddenDepths: Despite usually being portrayed as a dim-witted LivingDoorstop or BigEater, in "Lock Out" [[spoiler:she easily [[CurbstompBattle curbstomps]] Pidsley and nails him to a wall with a hammer]], and in "In the Doghouse" she turns out to be SecretlyWealthy [[spoiler: and contributes several large wads of cash to pay for Bitzer's new deluxe kennel, while all of the other sheep, having no idea of even the concept of money, have contributed buttons, etc]]

[[folder:Other Farm residents]]

!! Bitzer
The Farmer's long-suffering sheepdog. Very loyal to his master, and often put in charge of watching over Shaun's flock.

* ButtMonkey: Poor guy can't seem to catch a break, though he should be glad he's not [[Franchise/WallaceAndGromit Gromit]].
* BeleagueredAssistant: At times, though not to the extent of poor Gromit.
* TheComicallySerious: Putting a serious person like Bitzer in the middle of a mischievous flock of sheep has produced many a hilarious moment.
* CrazyPrepared: In Season 1 episode "Shape Up with Shaun", Bitzer flips through his clipboard of ways to get Shirley out - including rocket powered and being on wheels until he found one where she's in a shopping cart.
* DoorSlamsYou: Poor Bitzer always gets the door slammed open on his nose in the opening theme of every episode. Averted at the end of the movie, when the Farmer carefully opens the door to make sure he doesn't hit Bitzer... and then happens anyway when a tired, confused Pig staggers out of the house after the Farmer.
* IconicItem: His blue-knit hat [[spoiler:which the Farmer gave to him as a puppy]]. Also doubles as a NiceHat. In Season 2 episode "Bitzer's New Hat", he is left completely despondent when the Farmer throws his hat in the trash and instead gives Bitzer a hideous new one given to him by his young niece.
* NotSoAboveItAll: He tries to keep the sheep in line, but sometimes
* SickEpisode: In Season 2 episode "Fireside Favorite", Bitzer comes down with a cold and has to stay indoors. Which makes him a target for the {{Jerkass}} cat Pidsley.
* SilentSnarker: Even more so than Shaun.

!! The Farmer
The absentminded owner of a modest farm. Also the master of Bitzer and every animal currently living on his farm. He is largely unaware of the misadventures his sheep (and Bitzer) get into on a daily basis.

* BlindWithoutEm: In Season 2 episode "Ewe've Been Framed", he's revealed to have ''extremely'' short-sided vision without his glasses.
* CluelessBoss: Tends to be portrayed as such, and it was often only through the efforts of Blitzer that things were kept in line.
* HairTodayGoneTomorrow: [[spoiler:In the movie adaption, he's revealed to have a fuller head of hair in his younger days. Now he's on the verge of balding completely]]
* StrongFamilyResemblance: He and his extended relatives all wear glasses and have his orange hair to some extent.
* IdentityAmnesia: [[spoiler:Suffers from this in the movie adaption, due to Shaun and the flock's antics. He recovers his memory in the end.]]

!! Pidsley
The Farmer's often mean-spirited pet cat. He clashes with Shaun and the flock from time to time.

* BreakoutCharacter: A relatively minor character in Season 1, but in Season 2 he becomes a prominent antagonist for Shaun and his flock.
* CatsAreMean: Fits this trope to a T.
* {{Jerkass}}: Oh so much.
* KickTheDog: In Season 2 episode "Fireside Favorite", he tried to throw an ill Bitzer out of the house and possibly [[FridgeHorror leave him to freeze to death in the snow]], because ''[[EvilIsPetty Bitzer was occupying his favorite cushion]]''. Bonus points in Bitzer being a dog.
* LaserGuidedKarma: From Season 2 onward, every time he causes trouble, he ends up getting the boot from the Farmer, usually either by his own doing or being set up by the sheep (and Bitzer) he picks on.

!! The Naughty Pigs
A trio of pigs who live on the other side of the farm, separated from the field the sheep occupy by a stone wall.

* {{Jerkass}}: So very much.
* LaserGuidedKarma: In "Pig Trouble", all of their messing around the farm and exploiting both the sheep and Bitzer as their slaves gets them in trouble with the Farmer, who isn't entirely pleased to see his home a total pig sty.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Other characters]]

!! The Farmer's Niece
A young girl who is the Farmer's niece, obviously. The titular character of episode "[[TitleDrop The Farmer's Niece]]", she quickly becomes an irritation to Shaun and his flock.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: She seems so sweet and innocent on the outside, but to the audience and the farm animals, it's only a masquerade she keeps up in front of her uncle, the Farmer.
* BrattyHalfPint: Oh so very much. Both Shaun and Bitzer learn this the hard way.
* GirlishPigTails: Her hair is styled into a pair of these.
* HairDecorations: Has red bows tied into her braids.
* {{Jerkass}}: She seems to derive childish amusement from tormenting the sheep and Bitzer, including taking away and playing with Timmy's pacifier, getting Bitzer covered in thorns and wrapping him up in bandage tape, and riding Shaun like a horse to the point of exhaustion.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Her antics with the flock ultimately get her in trouble with the Farmer, when a game of "play horsey" with Shaun launches her right into the cake her uncle was making.

!! The Fox
