7
8	A pet cat by day. A cat burglar by night.
9	----
10	* CatsAreMean: {{Subverted}}. You think because he helps in thefts he's mean, but Dino is only antagonistic towards those he doesn't like.
11	* DarkIsNotEvil: He's a black cat and yes he's a thief, but Dino does love Zoe and Nico very much.
12	* EmpathyPet: To both Zoe and Nico, as he either mimics one's actions (Nico) or comforts them during a stressful situation (Zoe).
13	* HeterosexualLifePartners: An interspecies example: With Nico, an adult human male. They share a close bond and respect one another.
14	* PapaWolf: Do '''not''' harm a hair on Zoe's head.
15	* PlatonicLifePartners: An interspecies example: With Zoe, a female human child. He is as close to her as he is with Nico, as well as being quite protective.
16	* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Inverted. Dino is a black cat with red "stripes" and while he may be thief, he's one of the good guys.
17	* UncattyResemblance: Dino is basically a cat version of Nico. Even their names are identical!

25	----
26	* CreepyChild: She keeps the ''dead'' lizards Dino brings for her.
27	* CuteMute: [[spoiler:It's implied to be because of trauma from her father's death]].
28	* DamselInDistress: {{Justified\|Trope}} since she's only a child.
29	* InSeriesNickname: Referred to as "Princess" throughout the movie.
30	%%* KidAppealCharacter
31	* MoralityPet: Zoe becomes one for Nico and Dino, though ironically Dino is her literal pet. They spend the second half of the movie protecting her.
32	* NiceGirl: Best proven when she gives back the bracelet Dino gave to her when Jeanne explains that someone else might miss it.
33	* PlatonicLifePartners: An interspecies example: With Dino, a male cat. Dino is as close to her as he is with Nico, as well as being quite protective.

40	The superintendent of the French police and Zoe's mother.
41	----
42	* ActionMom: Jeanne is proficient in martial arts, in what seems to be either Wing-Shun or Taichi. [[spoiler:This is what Costa found out in the climax]].
43	* BattleCouple: {{Implied}} to have worked closely with her cop husband [[spoiler:before Costa murdered him]].
44	* BrokenBird: [[spoiler:Her husband's murder by Costa turned her into one. She gets better]].
45	* CrusadingWidower: Jeanne's main reason for going after Costa is because the latter [[spoiler:murdered her husband]].
46	* DaChief: The superintendent of the [[UsefulNotes/{{France}} French]] police.
47	* FairCop: She's DaChief and is ''very'' attractive.
48	* HappilyMarried: Implied. When Jeanne speaks about her husband, she is obviously still distraught over her husband's [[spoiler:murder]] and describes him as a "good cop".
49	* MamaBear: Unless you want to face an ultimate smack down, it's best that you leave Zoe alone.
50	* PlatonicLifePartners: A cop example with Lucas. They have a close relationship with no romantic tension.
51	* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: [[spoiler:She refers to her late husband as a good cop. And after seeing Nico risking his life to protect Zoe, Jeanne starts to like him, and he does to her. By winter time, they're married.]]
52	* StrongFamilyResemblance: If her hair was slightly more redder she be an adult version of Zoe.
53	* StrugglingSingleMother: Jeanne has to deal with a stressful job and dealing with her [[spoiler:husband's murder]] while also trying to raise her daughter who has been mute.

58	->'''Voiced by''': Creator/BrunoSalomone (French); Creator/SteveBlum (English)
59
60	A night burglar and partner of Dino.
61	----
62	* AntiHero: Nico is a night burglar but proves to be more heroic than he lets on.
63	* DarkIsNotEvil: Nico wears all black during his escapades as a thief, but is a NiceGuy mixed in with GentlemanThief, adding a good heaping of FriendToAllChildren.
64	* EvenEvilHasStandards: He may be a thief, but he doesn't hesitate to try to save Zoe when she's in danger. On his thefts, he refuses to directly hurt anyone involved.
65	* FriendToAllChildren: Nico's scenes with Zoe qualifies him as one. [[spoiler:Especially when he warns Jeanne to go after Claudine to make sure Zoe is safe]].
66	* GentlemanThief: Just look at his rescues of Zoe and the fact he never uses violence in his thefts. [[spoiler:The only exception being Costa]].
67	* {{Greed}}: A rare non-lethal example. He's a thief, but isn't anywhere as horrible as Costa.
68	* HeterosexualLifePartners: An interspecies example: With Dino, a male cat. They share a close bond and respect one another.
69	* HiddenDepths: Despite his career as a thief, he clearly has a sense of right and wrong. The biggest portrayal of this is how Nico selflessly helps out Zoe when Costa wants to use her as a hostage.
70	* NiceGuy: Look past his thieving crimes and you'll see a likable, heroic guy.
71	* PapaWolf: Nico becomes very protective over Zoe throughout the movie as he helps rescue her from Costa and his goons.
72	* ReformedCriminal: [[spoiler:The ending apparently implies that he's given up his thieving ways after marrying Jeanne.]]

79
80	The main antagonist.
81	----
82	* {{Acrofatic}}: Despite his bulk, he's able to keep up with Nico.
83	* BaldOfEvil: More like "Half-Bald of Evil."
84	* BigBad: He's the main antagonist of the movie, and also [[spoiler:murdered Zoe's father]].
85	* CopKiller: [[spoiler:He murdered Zoe's father and Jeanne's husband, a cop.]]
86	* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: At one point, [[spoiler:he angrily told Nico not to bring up his mother]].
87	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:Costa genuinely seems to treasure his sweetheart, Claudine.]]
88	* EvilCounterpart: To Nico. Both have a history of thefts and are wanted men because of it. However, while Nico draws the line at murder or physically harming anyone, Costa shows no moral qualms of doing either. Also, both are accompanied in their thefts with accomplices, but while Nico genuinely respects and cares for Dino, Costa has no such feelings for his goons, except [[spoiler:Claudine.]]
89	* FatBastard: A large and cruel man.
90	* GiverOfLameNames: He assigns his henchmen demeaning codenames like "Mr. Baby" and "Mr. Potato".
91	* {{Jerkass}}: He's ''not'' a pleasant man.
92	* TheNapoleon: He's a rather short man, with a short temper to match. It's implied that his obsession with the Colossus of Nairobi reflects some insecurities about his height.
93	* PerpetualFrowner: Except for when it comes to the Colossus of Nairobi or [[spoiler:Claudine]].
94	* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler:By the end of the movie, he's gone from an intimidating crime boss to a madman who hallucinates the Colossus of Nairobi stomping through the city to catch him when he falls.]]
95	* UnholyMatrimony: Costa is in a relationship with [[spoiler:Claudine.]]
96	* WouldHurtAChild: Showed no hesitance over planning to do so to [[spoiler:Zoe.]]

108	* MoralityPet: [[spoiler:Costa genuinely seems to care about her the most.]]
109	* NiceGirl: The scene with Zoe and her dead lizards is the prime example. [[spoiler:It was actually an act]].
110	* UnholyMatrimony: Claudine is in a relationship with [[spoiler:Costa.]]
111	* WalkingSpoiler: Anymore revealings than her name will give away the twist.
