4* BarefootCartoonAnimal: The main four usually go out shoeless, but some of the minor characters happen to usually not wear footwear either.
5* BlackBeadEyes: Most every character has these eyes.
6* CartoonCreature: Every single character in this series. However, you can make out the normal animal features of at least a few of the characters. Wubbzy even insists that he isn't an animal when he was interviewed that one time.
7-->'''Wubbzy:''' I'm not an animal, I'm Wubbzy!
8* FourFingeredHands: Every anthropomorphic character.
9* VagueAge: Most, if not all, characters' ages remain unknown.[[note]]Wubbzy, Widget, and Walden might be at least 12 years of age according to how many photos were on the wall of Walden's house in ''Puddle Muddle''. Wubbzy states in an interview that he is "[[https://youtu.be/X9WQoayqxrI?t=37 old enough to ride all the rides at the amusement park, but not old enough to like brussel sprouts]]."[[/note]]

20The [[CharacterTitle titular main character]] of the show. According to the show's bible, he represents the pure child who solves problems with his child-like simplicity and sees the world through untainted eyes. He loves to play with his friends. He is also the only one of the main four with a tail.
21----
22* AffectionateNickname: "Little buddy" and "Wubbster" are the two nicknames Widget would sometimes call Wubbzy. In the UK version, she calls him "little Wubbzy" instead of "little buddy".
23* [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever Attack of the 50-Foot Wubbzy]]: In ''Wubbzy's Big Idea''.
24* BreakingTheFourthWall: He sometimes talks to the audience.
25* CartoonyTail: He has a [[PrehensileTail prehensile]], apparently shock-absorbent tail that either works as an extra hand or a [[SpringCoil bouncy spring]]. It is also mentioned a bunch of times to be highly flexible.
26-->"''Wubbzy lives in a tree, he likes to play play play! He's got a bendy tail and he likes it that way!''"
27* CharacterCatchphrase: "Wow" is his favorite word, as he said it a lot of times, usually as a greeting[[note]]He usually greets with "Wow! Wow!" though he also has used "hi."[[/note]] or a form of amazement. He also used the word to greet the viewers in the ThemeTune.
28* CheerfulChild: He is very cheery and playful.

30* DoesNotLikeSpam: According to a rare interview, he isn't old enough to like brussel sprouts.

37* NiceGuy: He's very sweet and kindhearted to others.
38* PartiallyCivilizedAnimal: He was this in ''The Tail of Flopsy, Mopsy, and Ted'', though back then he was Mopsy.
39* PickyEater: In "Too Much of a Doodle Thing", where he only wants to eat doodleberries and dismisses his friends' suggestions to eat other foods when he's unable to find anymore. Only at the climax when he accidentally grows doodleberry bushes all over Wuzzleburg with Daizy's magic grow spray does he finally decide that he's sick of eating doodleberries.
40* PrehensileTail: His tail can do including but not limited to:
41** Wrapping around objects
42** Being used as a SpringCoil to bounce himself a la [[Franchise/WinnieThePooh Tigger]].
43** And it's even focused on in ''A Tale of Tails''.

54[[caption-width-right:186:When at first she doesn't succeed, she builds something bigger.]]
55-->'''Voice actor:''' Creator/LaraJillMiller (US), Creator/JulieAnnDean (UK)
56
57The GadgeteerGenius with rabbit-like ears and the owner of her own fix-it shop. Widget seems to be the "go-do-it-now" type of person. When she sees a problem she can solve, she either introduces her friends to a machine she designed for such situation, or she sets to work on building a new invention. However, no matter how simple the problem may be, she tends to [[RubeGoldbergDevice build some sort of overly-complicated invention]]. She speaks with a [[UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents Southern accent]].
58----
59* AdvancedTech2000: Widget names her inventions with the number "3000" tacked onto the end.
60* CharacterCatchphrase: When she sees a problem she can solve, she says "No problemo!", and she has a variant ("Big problemo") when she realizes she underestimated the situation. There's also "That's not supposed to happen"/"That wasn't supposed to happen", said when her machines fail.
61* ComplexityAddiction: No matter how simple the task may be, Widget will set to work on (or introduce, if she's already built it) a [[RubeGoldbergDevice ridiculously complex gadget]] which tends to fail quite often.
62* DubNameChange: In the Arabic dub, she's renamed "Wardi," which translates to Pinky and her name is changed to "Ticha" in the European Portuguese dub.
63* FunnyAnimal: Going by the long ears, she kind of looks like a rabbit.
64* GadgeteerGenius: Her personality. Her part of the show's ThemeTune even explains this.
65* TheGhost: Not her, but she has a cousin named Ratchet who was only ever mentioned in "Once Upon a Wubbzy", but was never shown.
66* IconicItem: And that would be a wiggle wrench. In fact, her wiggle wrench is a major story element in ''Where's My Wiggle Wrench?''.
67* InexplicablyTailless: Played straight in the series, but subverted when she was first designed as "Flopsy"[[note]]In ''The Tail of Flopsy, Mopsy, and Ted'',[[/note]].
68* PinkIsFeminine: She is pink.
69* RobotMe: In ''Gidget the Super-Robot'', Widget makes a robot twin.
70* RubeGoldbergDevice: She does make overly-complicated machines for something as trivial as straightening a picture frame.
71* SouthernFriedGenius: She speaks with a very thick Southern accent, and happens to be the most technologically-adept character on the show.
72* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Tomboy to Daizy's Girly Girl.
73* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Despite the fact that she likes to invent gadgets, she also likes girly things such as ballet.
74* WhiteBunny: Colorfully averted.

78! Walden
79
80[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/walden.png]]
81[[caption-width-right:350:He finds great philosophy in everything from astronomy to tarot card readings!]]
82-->'''Voice actor:''' Creator/CarlosAlazraqui (US), Wayne Forester (UK)
83
84The quirky OmnidisciplinaryScientist. Walden has a passionate curiosity for everything and views the world in a unique way. He has been shown to help his friends by reading books and using science, though the ThemeTune implies he knows about art as well.
85----
86* AdaptationalJerkass: In the Arabic dub, he's more of a selfish, cranky jerk.
87* ADayInTheLimelight: He's the star of the episode ''Mr. Cool''. Walden is also the only character that was able to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1kRj1srNSk star in his own music video]].
88* BearyFriendly: According to The Other Wiki, he's an overall nice bear.
89* {{Bookworm}}: Books happen to be part of his specialties. Wubbzy stated in an interview that he got smart through reading books.
90* CharacterCatchphrase: His well known catchphrase is "Think, think, think!" He also uses "Yes, yes, yes!", "My, my, my!", and "Very interesting!"
91* DubNameChange: In the Arabic dub, he's renamed "Nedel," Which translates to [[MeaningfulName Jerky]] and his name is changed to "Valter" in the European Portuguese dub.
92* FunnyAnimal: It is unclear what Walden is even meant to be, though The Other Wiki says that he is a bear.
93* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: He normally does not wear any pants.
94* NerdGlasses: He has a large, thick, round pair and, needless to say, they match his nerdy personality.
95* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: The ThemeTune says it all:
96-->"Walden is his friend, he's really smart, he knows about science and books and art..."
97* TheSmartGuy
98* SmartPeopleSpeakTheQueensEnglish: Walden speaks with a British accent, and is the only character in the show to have a non-American accent. In addition, his voice sounds very similar to [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Scooter (surfer fish)]], who even shares the same voice actor.

101[[folder:Daizy]]
102! Daizy
103
104[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/daizy.png]]
105[[caption-width-right:350:Wubbzy's more recent neighbor.]]
106-->'''Voice actor:''' Creator/TaraStrong (US), Lynn Cleckner (UK)
107
108A dog-like GirlyGirl introduced in season 2 with it's premiere, ''Who's That Girl?''. She is considered to be Wubbzy's opposite, being smart, patient, graceful, and girly.
109----
110* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: She appears as a playable character in the ''Attack of the 50-Foot Fleegle'' V.Smile game, but she wasn't in the actual episode because she wasn't introduced yet[[note]]The episode released during season one, while Daizy would make her debut in the premiere of season two. Justifiably, the game came out seven months after the episode ''Who's That Girl?'' released.[[/note]].
111* AllGirlsLikePonies: In the episode ''Call of the Mild'', she sees a unihorn[[note]]A unicorn-like creature[[/note]] and wants to play dress up with it. Enough said.
112* CaringGardener: She loves to plant flowers. Her gardening talent was a focus in ''Daizy's Purple Thumb''.
113* CharacterCatchphrase: "[[UnusualEuphemism Lavender lollipops!]]"
114* CousinOliver: Non-aging example. Daizy does not appear in the first season; in episodes after her introduction she is hilariously wedged into the ThemeTune by changing the line "and when they are together the fun never ends" to "and when they're with Daizy the fun never ends".
115* DubNameChange: In the Arabic dub, she's renamed "Dee Dee."
116* FloralThemeNaming: Her name is just "daisy" but with a z instead of an s.
117* FlowersOfFemininity: She's extremely true to the trope - if her ''[[FloralThemeNaming name]]'' didn't make things obvious enough, she has two flowers in her hair holding her pigtails up, her normal ballerina dress displays a flower on the front, and she even ''lives'' in a flower.
118* FunnyAnimal: She vaguely looks like a dog.
119* GenkiGirl: She's always very cheerful and energetic.
120* GirlishPigtails: She has these.
121* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: Daizy is a sweet girl who loves flowers, ballet, and [[AllGirlsLikePonies unihorns]], among other feminine pursuits. However, she does like playing kickety-kick ball, and holy heck is she good at it.
122* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: She has purple hair.
123* NeverBareheaded: Daizy usually doesn't change her hair from the normal pigtails (except for that one time in ''Meet the Wuzzles'', though she was not seen with her hair down). She even sleeps with her hair ''still in pigtails and with her hair decorations''. The only time she even had her hair down was in one scene of the music video ''You Are You''.
124* OddNameOut: She is the only main character whose name does not start with a W.
125* PinkIsFeminine: Most of her outfits, including the ballerina dress she normally wears, are pink in color.
126* PromotionToOpeningTitles: The theme song is rewritten slightly to add a line to introduce her and has a scene changed to add her with an addition in the ending of the theme, starting in the second season.
127* PuppyLove: A more literal case here. In the ending of the episode "Cupid's Little Helper", she confesses her feelings to Wubbzy and gives him a kiss.
128->''"Even though i'm back to normal, i still like you a lot!"''
129* SignatureHeadgear: A flower holding up each pigtail and a pink bow for her normal outfit.
130* SixthRanger: Becomes friends with Wubbzy in her debut episode, and is implied to have joined the team from that point on.
131* TinyGuyHugeGirl: The Huge Girl to Wubbzy's (slightly) Tiny Guy.
132* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Girly Girl to Widget's Tomboy.
133* TwinkleSmile: Daizy has white clean teeth that sparkle in ''Who's That Girl?''
134* UnusualEuphemism: See {{Catchphrase}} above.

142 [[caption-width-right:350:No points awarded to anyone guessing what he does.]]
143-->'''Voice actor:''' Creator/GreyDeLisle
144In the majority of his appearances, he wiggles his fingers while saying "That's kooky!" (this normally happens after something strange occurs).
145----
146* CharacterCatchphrase: He always walks by saying "Kooky!" when something weird happens. In the UK and French dubs, however, he instead says "Crazy!" and "Bizarre!" respectively.
147* FlatCharacter: Outside of his RunningGag, he doesn't really have much of a personality.
148* NoNameGiven: He was never given a name.

174!! The Wubb Girlz (Shine, Sparkle, and Shimmer)
175[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wubb_girlz.png]]
176 [[caption-width-right:1000:L-R: Shimmer, Shine, and Sparkle]]
177-->'''Voice Actors:''' Music/{{Beyonce}} (Shine), Creator/GreyDeLisle (Sparkle), and Creator/TaraStrong (Shimmer)
178A trio of singers who are just as famed in Wuzzleburg as they are in Wuzzlewood. Shine is the leader of the trio, while Shimmer and Sparkle sing alongside her. Their most famous song is "Sing a Song". They all only appeared in a quadrilogy of season 2 episodes collectively named ''Wubb Idol''.
179----
180[[AC:The trio as a whole]]
181* AlphabeticalThemeNaming: All of their names start with an "S" and also have something to do with light.
182* GirlGroup: All three are popular singers all over Wuzzlewood and Wuzzleburg.
183* NonStandardCharacterDesign: While all female characters do have eyelashes, the Wubb Girlz have uniquely designed eyelashes compared to other members of the cast.
184* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Following the ''Wubb Idol'' arc, they never appear again.

193
194[[folder:Snappity-Snap Fish]]
195A character who serves as the main antagonist of the 2007 Flash game, Wubbzy's Underwater Adventure. A nefarious guppy with a hatred for Wuzzlantis, he petrifies the populace of the underwater city, leaving it forgotten for years.
196
197* ADogNamedDog: The term “Snappity-Snap Fish” seems to be the name of the species of fish he is, and he’s exclusively referred by that.
198* BigBad: Is the cause of Wuzzlantis’ becoming forgotten in the first place.
199* FantasticRacism: Seems to be his motive for attacking Wuzzlantis from what little we know about him.
200* FinalBoss: He appears at the end of the game as its final boss, though considering how he’s the ''only '' boss in the game he’s practically the first boss by technicality.
201* GreenAndMean: He’s a green fish that turned an entire population into stone.
202* RedEyesTakeWarning: His single eye is red, and he essentially killed an entire city’s worth of people. [[ObviouslyEvil Not the kind of guy you’d be willing to play poker with on Sundays.]]
203* RedIsViolent: He dons a red suit and he uses it to turn dozens into stone statues, and Wuzzlantis itself has [[BleakLevel been the site of many fish bones after he took over.]]
204* TheNapoleon: Without his gear, he’s a [[CuteIsEvil hilariously tiny fish]], something that he takes major embarrassment in.
205* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Notably, his evil plan is rather grim for a lighthearted cartoon like this, effectively killing an entire population and leaving a city abandoned for years. Downplayed, as his defeat is presented comically.
