7	With a fondness of radishes and the love of adventure, Peter is the inspirational special friend you wished to hang out with when you were young.

Often in and out of danger in his majestic world, Peter needs all of his special qualities to outsmart the villains.

10	* AdaptationalHeroism: In the series, Peter acts more responsible and not as mischievous as he was in the original books.

12	* BunniesForCuteness: One of the rabbit characters and is cute.
13	* CatchPhrase: "Let's hop to it!" as well as "A good rabbit never gives up!"
14	* GuileHero: He's good at tricking villains.
15	* KarmicTrickster

29	-->''"Rabbits are brave, rabbits are brave, rabbits are brave..."''
30
31	At 5 years old, Benjamin is slightly younger than Peter, always up for anything Peter suggests and utterly hero-worships his big cousin. This 'funny bunny' is one of life's clumsy individuals. He always seems to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, usually ending in comic results. However, Peter couldn't wish for a more good-natured, loyal companion.
32	----
33	Tropes associated with Benjamin:
34	* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Benjamin is alot more likable and friendlier then he was in Literature/TheTaleOfBenjaminBunny. While he's good-natured and loyal in the series, his original personality was focused more on him being greedy and not being scared of Mr Mcgregor, although also helpful and good-natured. While he's more of a coward in this adaptation. He was also older than Peter in the original books.
35	* AgeLift: In his book debut, Benjamin was the same age as Peter. In the CGI series, he's much younger than his cousin.
36	* BigEater: Benjamin is always hungry.
37	* ButtMonkey: Life likes to pick on him quite a bit.
38	* CowardlyLion[=/=]LovableCoward
39	* GassHole: A downplayed example, but he does burp a few times due to his BigEater status.
40	* RedOniBlueOni: The cuddly blue to Peter's Red Oni.
41	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The sweet Sensitive Guy to Peter's outgoing Manly Man.
42	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He's afraid of heights.

55	!!Lily Bobtail
56	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lily_bobtail_1037.jpg]]
57	-->''"I know that for a fact!"''
58
59	This practical, quirky bunny is most at home following her passion of reading. Her unquenchable thirst for knowledge and an innate curiosity leads her to be more methodical in her approach to adventures than Peter. Her logical approach and patient attention to detail can help her friends see something vital others might have missed.

64	* CatchPhrase: "I know ''that'' for a fact." and "Just-in-Case Pocket - just in case."
65	* CrazyPrepared: Downplayed. The contents of her pocket are ordinary, but they fulfil the trope in that they help her in all sorts of situations- even situations unrelated to an item's original purpose (a comb to untie knots, for example).
66	* InnocentBlueEyes: She has blue eyes and is sweet.
67	* NiceGirl: Although not the extent of Benjamin, she is sweet, friendly and laid-back.
68	* NotSoAboveItAll: In "The Tale of Mr. Tod's Trap" [[spoiler: she's the one who falls into the titular trap because she couldn't resist the radish bait, when she was the one who told Peter and Benjamin that it was a trap in the first place.]]

100
101	!!Mrs. Rabbit
102
103	A strong, practical mother, Mrs. Rabbit provides for her brood in the most resourceful and traditional ways. Mrs. Rabbit represents the heart of Peter's home life. No matter what happens to him, no matter how much trouble he gets into, Peter knows that his mother will always welcome him home with unconditional love and a warm embrace.
104	----
105	Tropes associated with Mrs. Rabbit:
106	* {{Housewife}}
107
108	!! Flopsy & Mopsy
109
110	Peter's 8-year-old twin sisters, Flopsy and Mopsy, pride themselves on being model daughters. Obsessed with tidiness and order, they are the 'girly-girls' of the series. Like most twins, they can often tell what the other is thinking. As the oldest children, they often feel duty bound to point out to their little brother the error of his ways.
111	----
112	Tropes associated with Flopsy & Mposy:
113	* SingleMindedTwins: They seem very similar, both in looks and personality.
114	* ThoseTwoGirls
115
116	!! Cotton-Tail
117	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cotton_tail_2910.png]]
118
119	The youngest of Mrs. Rabbit's brood, Cotton-tail is a lovable and adorable 18-month-old. A child of few words, she clearly adores her big brother Peter and tries to copy his every move. Cotton-tail has an uncanny way of involving herself in Peter's adventures. She may be the smallest rabbit in the series, but she's one of its BIGGEST stars!
120	----
121	Tropes associated with Cotton-Tail:
122	* AscendedExtra: Cotten-Tail has a bigger presence in the series and ends up as one of the main characters compared to her original role in the books.
123	* BunniesForCuteness
124	* ChildrenAreInnocent: Whenever one of the show's predator characters goes after her, wanting to eat her, she generally doesn't get it and treats it as a fun game. She thinks it's great fun when an owl swoops her up and takes her for a flight and usually the predators have to act very overtly mean for her to get scared, and even then it doesn't last long, assuming she even recognizes it for what it is. When Mr. Tod the fox places her in his cookpot with Shrew, she spends most of her time in it giggling and when he tosses in vegetables for flavoring, she eats some of the carrot slices.
125	* CuddleBug: She likes to give a hug, most particularly to Shrew, who can't stand it and repeatedly warns her about the "squeezing," but she's too young and innocent to take the hint.
126	* IdioticPartnerConfession: Often enough, when Peter's trying to hide something (such as radishes he'd taken from Mr. [=McGregor=]'s garden, or the fact that his cat is in the burrow), Cotton-Tail cheerfully pipes up about it. However, she's not stupid so much as she is very young.
127	* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Come on she is a baby bunny after all.
128	* TagAlongKid: Sometimes.

138	!! Mr. Tod
139	-->''"Know what I do when I'm feeling down in the dumps?"''
140	-->''"Um, you let poor, innocent rabbits go?"''
141	-->''"Nice try. No. I cook myself a delicious meal."''
142
143	A vain, smooth-talking fox, Mr. Tod takes great pride in being the wood's top predator. He's an over-the-top villain who thinks he's something of an evil genius. Though in theory Mr. Tod presents a threat to Peter, in fact he never has a hope of capturing his prey. What makes Tod ineffective is the great gap between how smart he thinks he is and reality.
144	----
145	Tropes associated with Mr. Tod:
146	* ButtMonkey
147	* ConsummateLiar
148	* CunningLikeAFox
149	* EvilBrit
150	* GoodScarsEvilScars: He has a scar across his eye.
151	* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Mr. Tod is constantly chasing after Peter and his friends, but is clearly past his prime. He has an awful scar over one of his eyes and walks with a cane.
152	* SissyVillain
153	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Rabbits. Though he's not picky about other animals.
154	* VegetarianCarnivore: Downplayed. He's forced to eat vegetables and fruit to his dismay as he's unable to catch Peter or his friends. Also TruthInTelevision, as foxes are omnivorous.
155
156	!! Tommy Brock
157	* BadOlBadger
158	* DumbMuscle
159	* GrumpyOldMan
160	* HairTriggerTemper: He's quick to anger.
161	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Worms.
162
163	!! Old Brown
164	* AdaptationalVillainy: He was an example of DoNotTauntCthulhu in the original source. Here, he's another threat to Peter and his friends since owls eat rabbits and other small animals.
165	* FeatheredFiend
166	* GrumpyOldMan
167	* OminousOwl: Overlaps with AdaptationalVillainy as mentioned above.
168	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Squirrels. Also rabbits.
169
170	!!Sammy Whiskers
171	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Somewhat. He never tries to eat the main characters like how he and his wife tried to do with Tom in Literature/TheTaleOfSamuelWhiskers (though that may be because he's smaller than them).
172	* ConMan
173	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cakes.
174	* YouDirtyRat
175
176	!!Mittens
177	* AscendedExtra: She's a supporting character in the series and is the only character present from Literature/TheTaleOfTomKitten and Literature/TheTaleOfSamuelWhiskers that is a cat. The rest of the cat family is absent.
178	* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Mittens is "always alert and always on guard."
179	-->'''Mittens''': Ooh, a feather! (''bats feather'') Mew, mew, mew, mew! (''falls asleep'')
180	* CuteKitten: Well she is a kitten after all.
