| 5 | !!All Care Bears and Cousins |
| 6 | * BadassFamily: A group of adorable, innocent, pastel-colored creatures, who live in a fluffy rainbow-and-cloud world in the sky...and battle {{Eldritch Abomination}}s, {{Evil Sorcerer}}s, {{Mad Scientist}}s and other threats to the happiness and safety of those below, particularly children. Although they're not explicitly related, they're referred to as "The Care Bears Family" and in the second movie were all adopted by the same two people. |
| 7 | * CompressedVice: In the TV Series, they tended to have some. |
| 8 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: The second movie opens with True Heart Bear and Noble Heart Horse fleeing from Dark Heart with the baby Bears and Cousins (referred to specifically as orphans) sleeping in the berth of their ship. When Dark Heart catches up, they barely manage to escape being ''killed'' via the intervention of the Great Wishing Star. Although not explicitly stated, this implies that Dark Heart is the one who orphaned them. |
| 9 | * HappilyAdopted: In ''Care Bears Movie II'' True Heart and Noble Heart raise the Bears and Cousins from babyhood to not-babyhood. |
| 10 | * MysteriousPast: ''Care Bears Movie II'' is the only media that discusses where they come from, and even that's got almost no detail. |
| 11 | * PlotRelevantAgeUp: In ''Care Bears Movie II'' all the baby Bears and Cousins hit what appears to be full maturity in roughly a two-week span. |
| 12 | * ThePollyanna: Although they have individual personalities, as a whole they (except Grumpy) could easily be described as cheerful and confident as a rule, even a little child-like. And Grumpy's not quite as cynical as he seems at first. |

| 96 | * BigEater: In ''Adventures in Wonderland''. "Now hold your tushy-tags, 'cause it's time I spoke, can't remember when I ate last... I'm fillin' up my belly with ice cream and jelly and toppin' it with pickled beets, mmm-hmm, toppin' it with pickled beets." Worth pointing out, this was just for the movie, and only because he'd been dragged away from his breakfast at the start of the film and denied food throughout. |
| 97 | * ButtMonkey: An example of this is "No Business Like Snow Business" when he's roped into looking after Hugs and Tugs and ends up getting a cold from being in the snow. |
| 98 | * CrazyPrepared: He likes to always carry an umbrella in case of rain. |
| 99 | * TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: Sometimes invoked this trope, but surprisingly not to the extremes seen in other 1980s kid's cartoons. Or, perhaps not so surprisingly, given that the idea of the character was to teach kids that it's okay to sometimes be grumpy. If he was always wrong, that would send the opposite message. |
| 100 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's grumpy, negative and always complains about something, but at the end of the day, he's still a Care Bear. |
| 101 | * GadgeteerGenius: Invented a teleporter in the first movie, and creates a robot alongside Bright Heart Raccoon in one episode of the TV series. |
| 102 | * PapaBear: Don't mess with his pals and cousins. |
| 103 | * ParasolParachute: His umbrella has saved him from several rough landings. |
| 104 | * ShipTease: Ironically, with [[OppositesAttract Cheer Bear]] in the [=DiC=] version. |
| 105 | * TooSpicyForYogSothoth: Unlike his pals and cousins, exposing Grumpy Bear to strong negative emotions will cause no ill effect on him, because he's already negative. |
| 106 | ** In a comic story, No Heart exposed the Care Bears to a potion that made them sick and corrupted their personalities into a negative version of themselves. Turns out that Grumpy Bear's corrupted self is an incredibly nice, selfless and heroic personality who took over the bears' chores all by himself, then took care of the sick bears all by himself and finally ventured into No Heart's lair to get the ingredients for a cure, again all by himself. |
| 107 | ** Similarly, in the [=DiC=] series, Professor Coldheart used a magic mirror to reverse the Care Bears' and Cousins' personalities. Reverse Grumpy eagerly stepped up to the challenge of saving the day. |
| 108 | ** Basically, any attempt to corrupt Grumpy Bear's personality into a twisted one is guaranteed to fail. |
| 109 | * {{Tsundere}}: He might loudly complain about everything, but that doesn't mean he doesn't ''care''. |

| 131 | * PinkMeansFeminine: She's a pink bear, as girly as can be. |
| 132 | * ShesAManInJapan: In at least one episode of the German dub of the [[Creator/DiCEntertainment DiC]] series, she's erroneously a male. In all other episodes, she's female. |

| 144 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: He lets Polite Panda go, realizing that the Valley needs them just as much as they need it. |
| 145 | * LoveAtFirstSight: With Polite Panda. |
| 146 | * MagicFeather: At one point he gives a girl who's convinced she's a jinx a "lucky charm" in a box. When she approaches her life with newfound confidence, he reveals the box was empty all along. |
| 147 | * MillionToOneChance: |
| 148 | * {{Oireland}}: In the early cartoon series... |

| 150 | * UnexplainedAccent: All the other bears have American accents, but in the original specials and the DIC episodes he usually has an ([[OohMeAccentsSlipping approximation of an]]) Irish accent. However, this is averted in a few other installments where he is American just like them. |
| 151 | * TheJinx: This is Good Luck Bear's second skill: he can send a bad luck stare to jinx someone else, but he only uses this power as a last resort because he really does not like it. |
| 152 | * StarCrossedLovers: With Polite. She and Perfect can't leave the valley or else it will be covered in snow, meaning the animals, plants, and humans will die. She and Good Luck can't be together because of this, much to their sadness. |

| 164 | * BinocularShot: Wish Bear's almost always the one manning the Star-o-scope, which allows her to see and hear kids in trouble on Earth and notify the others. |
| 165 | * TheCuckoolanderWasRight: Throughout ''Land Without Feelings'', she tries to make wishes but immediately gets interrupted by the more boisterous bears. Finally, as they're trying to figure out a way into Coldheart's castle she suggests wishing their way in, and when Grumpy protests she calls the others out for never letting her finish what she's trying to wish for.

| 208 | * AgeLift: Originally she was older than the other Bears (with the possible exception of Grams) and acted as a parental figure to them while they were growing up. Later incarnations of her is the same age as everyone else. |

| 211 | * NonstandardCharacterDesign: |
| 212 | ** In the second movie and Nelvana series, she's the only bear with actual hair different from her fur color--namely a shock of purple and pink hair. |
| 213 | ** For the ''Welcome to Care-a-Lot'' franchise, she appeared only as a plush toy and sported a multi-colored pastel tie-dye like design for her main fur color. This is opposed to the normal Care Bear look, which is a single color for the primary fur, other than the white belly with the belly badge and white inner-ear coloring. |
| 214 | * OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Although details are unclear, they managed to escape from Dark Heart with a number of orphans of their kind--at least until he caught up with them. |

| 217 | * TeamMom: Was the first Care Bear and was the one who saved the Bears and Cousins with Noble Heart, so she acts as a motherly figure to them all. |

| 228 | * ApronMatron: Grams deeply cares for the other bears. |
| 229 | * ArchEnemy: In the cartoon, she has a personal adversary called Sour Sam the Pie Man, a baker who creates "crab apple" pies and tarts that plunge the consumer into a deeply negative mood. Her "Happy Apple" treats are able to cure this affliction. |
| 230 | * CanonWelding: Generally, the Nelvana series hews to the second movie for its continuity, however Grams is a character who appeared in the media prior to the movies and in the ''first'' movie. In the second, the Care Bears and Cousins were orphaned, implicitly by Dark Heart, and Grams didn't appear. In what appears to be intended as her introductory episode, she's treated as though the Bears hadn't seen her in years, with Tenderheart apparently remembering her most clearly. |
| 231 | * CoolOldLady: She's a grandmotherly figure to all of the bears, who's introduced in the series riding her cloud scooter (read:motorcycle) and dances wildly with the cubs shortly after then grabs a guitar and starts playing rock music. As it turned out, she was apparently a stereotypical old lady-type when Tenderheart knew her, but then decided to change her life and start having fun instead. |

| 270 | * ThemeTwinNaming: Their names rhyme with one another. |
| 271 | * VagueAge: While "Baby" is right in their names and they wear diapers, Hugs and Tugs behave more like preschoolers than they do genuine babies or toddlers. |

| 276 | See ''Characters/CareBears'' for more information. |
| 277 | ---- |
| 278 | * AmbiguousGender: If you thought the Care Bears had trouble keeping their genders straight between media, most of the cousins can't even stay the same gender between books. One of the books even uses "he" for ''each'' of them, except for Cozy Heart and Treat Heart, and that's likely only because they're barely in it! Yes, even Gentle Heart. |
| 279 | * HappilyAdopted: |
| 280 | ** In the first film after the Care Bears discovered both the Forest of Feelings and the Cousins, they joyfully adopt both into the family. |
| 281 | ** Like the bears, all of the cousins were babies adopted by True Heart Bear and Noble Heart Horse in ''Care Bears Movie II''. |
| 282 | * InterspeciesAdoption: They are all animals of different species that were adopted by bears, (and have a bear and a horse as adoptive parents). |

| 385 | * CartoonCreature: Crossing an equine into the Nelvana Care Bears style doesn't look much like a horse at first glace, particularly when it comes to lack of hooves. Numerous designs in other media vary between more or less equine, which can [[https://www.pinterest.com/pin/425590233508111287/ work okay]] or be [[https://www.pinterest.com/pin/830491987506933951/ awfully disturbing]]. |

| 426 | ->Voiced by: Creator/LenCarlson |
| 427 | Appearing in the 1980s DIC series, and the first villain that the Care Bears faced. A blue-skinned, white-haired MadScientist obsessed with literally and emotionally freezing the rest of the world over. He and his bumbling assistant Frostbite have been quietly removed from continuity, since they were Creator/{{DiC}}-original characters and, when Creator/{{Nelvana}} took the rights, they couldn't take the Professor. |
| 428 | ---- |
| 429 | * AnIcePerson: He's been described as "a kindergartener's [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Mister Freeze]]". He has blue skin and white hair, which calls to mind ice and snow, always dresses in wintery clothing, and his technology and schemes revolve around emotionally ''and'' literally freezing things. |
| 430 | * BreakingTheFourthWall: Does it often at the first sighting of the bears. "Disgusting aren't they?" |
| 431 | * BreakingSpeech: One of his favorite tactics is to target emotionally vulnerable children and push them over the edge and into his service. |
| 432 | * ComplexityAddiction: Well, manipulation addiction at least. Cold Heart indulged in his ManipulativeBastard tendencies at just about any given occasion, whether or not it actually furthered his scheme. Particularly blatant in "Wedding Bells", where his plan mostly failed because he had manipulated his own ally Auntie Freeze into playing her part, when telling her the truth would probably have served just as well. When she found out he'd lied to her, she turned on him. |
| 433 | * DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans: While he occasionally mentions a desire for power and domination, most of his plans seem to simply involve hurting people ForTheEvulz. |
| 434 | * EvilIsDeathlyCold: His obvious motif as a villain; in the movies, his mere presence tends to chill the environment around him, causing ice to build up in any place he stays. |
| 435 | * EvilIsPetty: This grown man gets a bizarre amount of joy from watching kids bullying each other and regularly encourages them to play pranks and dirty tricks. |
| 436 | * GambitRoulette: One of his plans involved opening a magic shop, then hiring a kid to work there, with the anticipation that said kid would have slightly jerkish friends who'd swipe one of his inventions (an uncaring blaster) and start shooting people with it for funsies. Did it work? Yes. Could he have just blasted people his own self? ...Yes. |
| 437 | * HeelFaceBrainwashing: A very temporary one in the "Runaway". Interesting to note, that it wasn't from Care Bears Stare, but from his own machine malfunction. |
| 438 | * IAmSong: His first VillainSong, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0f130MJjKE "I'm Professor Cold Heart,"]] which is basically bragging about who he is and what he can do. |
| 439 | * KickTheDog: Perhaps moreso than any other villain in the franchise. His ''first'' appearance had him luring runaway children and then mutating them into pathetic, voiceless creatures he kept as slaves (with creepy pedophilic undertones). His second appearance had him using a device to have every child in town frozen solid (and he took some time away from that plot to kidnap the Care Bear cubs, ''encase them in ice'', and then ''kick them'' while [[VillainSong singing about his plot]]). Later appearances had him keep it up - draining abducted children of energy to power a weapon, torturing a little girl by freezing her arm... |
| 440 | * {{Leitmotif}}: His plans going into action were often accompanied with the music from his IAmSong from the first movie. |
| 441 | * MadScientist: Many of his inventions looked like something straight our of Creator/DrSeuss, but that didn't make them any less dangerous. |
| 442 | * ManipulativeBastard: Perhaps more-so than any other villain in the franchise. Professor Cold Heart's plans always involved ''some'' degree of manipulation, whether aimed at the Care Bears or the children they were trying to protect. |
| 443 | * MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: ''Professor'' Cold Heart. He's certainly an EvilGenius, though what exactly he's a professor of is unknown. |
| 444 | * MyBrainIsBig: Cold Heart's oversized cranium clearly invokes his high intelligence. |
| 445 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: Pretty much started the trend of this in the 1980s Care Bears cartoon. The very first villain the Care Bears ever face is an ice-obsessed MadScientist who seduces kids into coming to his castle, where he transforms them into his helpless slaves -- all with disturbingly pedophile-like undertones. |
| 446 | * VillainDecay: Cold Heart was legitimately terrifying in his debut appearance. In the next TV special, he's given a goofy sidekick and undertakes a standard supervillain plan to freeze the world rather than the disturbingly personal villainy from before. In the TV show, he decays further, being given a sillier, high-pitched voice and treated as more of a bumbling nuisance. |
| 447 | * VillainSong: Has his own song in both of his movie appearances; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0f130MJjKE "I'm Professor Cold Heart"]] in the first and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrGPdf_VoW4 "The Freeze Machine"]] in the second. |

| 486 | ->Voiced by: Creator/ChrisWiggins |
| 487 | The primary villain of the 1980s Nelvana series; a malevolent sorcerer who sought to extinguish positive feelings and to defeat the Care Bears in pursuit of this goal. He has a bumbling assistant, Beastly, and is also assisted by his niece Shreeky. |
| 488 | ---- |
| 489 | * BadBoss: His standard punishment for Beastly's inevitable foul-ups is blasting him with electric magic bolts. |
| 490 | * BigOlEyebrows: Has huge brows that are his most expressive, since he doesn't really ''have'' any other feature apart from his eyes. |
| 491 | * CardCarryingVillain: He outright states that he's evil and he exists to spread evil. |
| 492 | * CartoonishSupervillainy: Lots of his plots come off as this. |
| 493 | * DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans: He just wants to snuff out love, care, hope and all other positive emotions. |
| 494 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Although he'd never admit it, he loves his niece Shreeky, and actually displays something quite close to caring for her. |
| 495 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: He simply can't understand what's so awesome about caring and kindness. |
| 496 | * EvilerThanThou: No Heart's malice is so high that he frightens even other villains. Most notably, he teams up with the villain Dr. Fright in one episode, and the bad doctor is absolutely ''terrified'' of him all along. Especially when he inevitably fails No Heart and is carried off by him in the form of a tornado. |
| 497 | * EvilLaugh: Has a very unsettling sounding one. |
| 498 | * EvilSorcerer: No Heart has magic powers, and is a threatening villain out to exterminate all positive feelings. |
| 499 | * TheFaceless: All we ever see of his face are his huge eyebrows and his burning red eyes. |
| 500 | * TheHeartless: Apparently the personification of negative feelings. |
| 501 | * HumanoidAbomination: Is heavily implied to be this. |
| 502 | * KickTheDog: With Beastly; anytime they share the screen, No Heart is going to verbally or physically abuse his underling. |
| 503 | * LargeHam: "I am hate! I... am EVIL! I... am NO HEART!!" |
| 504 | * MadeOfEvil: Apparently. That damn CareBearStare gets him every time. |
| 505 | * MysteriousPast: The only thing we learn about him is that he's got a niece, and even ''that's'' basically a RetCon. |
| 506 | * PetTheDog: He seems to have some legitimate fatherly affection for his niece, Shreeky, going so far as letting her live with him (despite the fact that her constant screaming screws up his powers) and even praising her on occasion. |
| 507 | ** He also kind of does this with Beastly in "The Big Star Round-up". At the beginning of the episode, he reveals he's got a demon that he plans to sic on the Care Bears, and tells Beastly point-blank it'll be replacing him once it does so. Beastly spends the episode trying to one-up the demon and destroy the Care Bears first ([[FailureIsTheOnlyOption it goes about as well as you'd expect it to]]), finally culminating in him accidentally [=KOing=] the thing. He returns home and begins to pack his things, expecting to be kicked out. Instead No Heart tells him to get rid of ''the demon'', saying, "If anyone fails me, it's going to be you!" |
| 508 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: He's a terrifying villain with red eyes. |
| 509 | * ShadowedFaceGlowingEyes: His glowing red eyes are the only parts of his face that are visible, which is otherwise obscured in darkness by his purple cloak. |
| 510 | * SorcerousOverlord: A sorcerer who is an overlord to Beastly and Shreeky. |
| 511 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He shares several traits with both the living spell from the first film and Dark Heart from the second. Not only are all of them shapeshifters, but No Heart's colors are eerily similar to those of the spell's. Also, Dark Heart and No Heart are both magicians who want to rid the world of caring. However, while the spell is ultimately destroyed and Dark Heart ''does'' reform, No Heart never stops being evil. |
| 512 | * TantrumThrowing: He throws things around whenever he's mad. |
| 513 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: He picked up Professor Cold Heart's schtick as a surprisingly scary bad guy for such a kiddy setting. Even InUniverse, he absolutely terrifies everyone; even other villains, like the disturbingly vampire-like Doctor Fright, are ready to mess their pants at his presence. |
| 514 | * VoluntaryShapeshifter: The magical crystal he wears around his neck allows him to assume almost any form he desires; mostly he takes on the form of animals, but he has become a tornado at least once. |
| 515 | ** InvoluntaryShapeshifter: When Shreeky's shrieking, he loses control and morphs at random. |
| 516 | * WeaksauceWeakness: ThePowerOfFriendship and ThePowerOfLove do NOT mix well with this guy. Also, he seems to have a slight pathological fear of hugs (as exemplified by his hauling ass when Beastly attempted to give him one). |
| 517 | * WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Actually "What Is This Thing You Call Caring". He knows all too well what it is, he just hates it and everything about it. |
| 518 | * WouldHurtAChild: In "Bravest of the Brave", he comes ''this'' close to frying the young boy who's just saved the Bears and Cousins from the episode's death-trap...only [[JustInTime their timely arrival]] [[BigDamnHeroes puts a halt on that]]. |

| 528 | * AnythingButThat: In "The Wrath of Shreeky", Beastly pleads with No Heart to punish him for misusing his growth potion so he doesn't have to go with Shreeky to terrorize the Care Bears. |
| 529 | -->'''No Heart:''' Beastly, how many times have I told you–\ |
| 530 | '''Shreeky:''' Beastlyyyyyyyy!\ |
| 531 | '''No Heart:''' ''(groans)'' I'll deal with you later.\ |
| 532 | '''Beastly:''' Oh please, deal with me ''now'', No Heart! Pleee-eee-ase!\ |
| 533 | '''Shreeky:''' I've got a plan even ''you'' couldn't mess up. Let's go!\ |
| 534 | '''Beastly:''' ''(as she drags him away)'' [[BigNo NOOOOOOOO!]] |
| 535 | %%* AntiVillain |
| 536 | * BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: He has to constantly remind himself of this as a catchphrase. |
| 537 | * BatOutOfHell: Subverted with the 1980s incarnation; while he's an evil minion and bears a resemblance to a wingless bat creature, he's way too bumbling to be effective. |
| 538 | * BreakoutVillain: Chosen to be the villain for ''Welcome to Care-a-Lot'' due to his harmlessness and that, unlike the other villains, he doesn't scare the target demographic (read: toddlers). |
| 539 | * ButtMonkey: Beastly ''never'' gets a break. |
| 540 | * CartoonCreature: It's unknown what animal he's supposed to be. |
| 541 | * DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: The entirety of "The Great Race". |
| 542 | * ExpressiveEars: At least a little bit. |
| 543 | * {{Expy}}: In TheMovie, ''[[WesternAnimation/TheCareBearsAdventureInWonderland Adventure in Wonderland]]'', Dim and Dum, who play the same role as Beastly (sidekick to the BigBad), look similar to him and have the same voice actor. |
| 544 | ** The same goes for the Rat King in the Nutcracker special. |
| 545 | * FavouritismFlipFlop: Happens often with Shreeky. This one from "The Wrath of Shreeky" fits perfectly. |
| 546 | -->'''Beastly:''' What are you going to do? Turn the river into raging rapids?\ |
| 547 | '''Shreeky:''' Quiet, you bubblehead! I'm trying to think... [{{beat}}] ''(squeals)'' I know! I'll turn the river into raging rapids!\ |
| 548 | ''(Cue Beastly's defeated expression to the audience)'' |
| 549 | * FriendlyEnemy: On rare occasions, he and Shreeky are on peaceful terms with the Care Bears. |
| 550 | * GigglingVillain: He's constantly sniggering to himself when things seem to be going his way. |
| 551 | * HarmlessVillain: Borderlines with PunchClockVillain. Beastly is a bumbling idiot who really only wants to do bad things because No Heart will painfully punish him if he doesn't. Also, because in-universe, he finds the Care Bears' friendship SickeninglySweet. |
| 552 | * MascotMook: For No Heart. |
| 553 | * MediumAwareness: Beastly often casts glances towards the audience, and in "Hearts at Sea", outright says "being in a cartoon is so much fun!". |
| 554 | * MinionWithAnFInEvil: Aside from not really being that bad a guy himself, he never manages to do badness right. |
| 555 | * RuleOfTwo |
| 556 | * VillainousFriendship: Type III, with No Heart, arguably. Beastly's been known to try to cheer his boss up after particularly nasty defeats and even spent a whole episode ''worrying about what to get him for his birthday'', whereas No Heart doesn't seem to give a damn about him one way or another. |
| 557 | ** Possibly has a Type I with Shreeky, albeit of the VitriolicBestBuds variety. |
| 558 | * UnevilLaugh: His "evil laugh" is a low-pitched tittering snigger. |

| 564 | A young witch and No Heart's niece, introduced in Nelvana's second season premiere. Often has to work with Beastly, but considers herself more important than him. |
| 565 | ---- |
| 566 | * AmbiguouslyHuman: She looks human...ish. But seeing as she's No Heart's niece, who can say ''what'' she is? |
| 567 | * AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Despite everything, she and Beastly do show worry towards one another. |
| 568 | * BigOlEyebrows: She has some sizeable purple EvilEyebrows just like her uncle. It's clearly a family trait. |
| 569 | * BigSisterBully: She acts this way to Beastly. |
| 570 | * DaddysLittleVillain: More like "Uncle's Little Villain". She idolizes No Heart and wants to be just like him. Meanwhile, she's the only individual he shows any sign of having something remotely approaching positivity for. |
| 571 | * EnfantTerrible: She's a kid, and also one of the villains. |
| 572 | * EvilLaugh: Seems to have inherited this from No Heart. |
| 573 | * FriendlyEnemy: On ''extremely rare'' occasions, she and Beastly are on peaceful terms with the Care Bears. |
| 574 | ** By "extremely rare occasions", we mean literally ''one episode'', that being "Music Video", where she (and, to a lesser extent, Beastly) are shown to be avid fans of the Raffi-esque musician the Care Bears are fond of. |
| 575 | * GladIThoughtOfIt: Does this to Beastly constantly. |
| 576 | * NeverMyFault: Whether the accident be her fault or Beastly's, she ''always'' blames him. |
| 577 | * RuleOfTwo |
| 578 | * SuperScream: Her whole shtick. Her shriek even seems to have magical properties, as it's capable of breaking No Heart's sleep spell and messing with his shape-shifting amulet. |
| 579 | * VagueAge: Her age is unknown but by the looks of her, she's probably 10 or so. |

| 585 | ->Voiced by: Jackie Burroughs |
| 586 | A nameless evil spirit who appears in [[WesternAnimation/TheCareBearsMovie the first film]]. She "befriends" a young, lonely magician's assistant named Nicholas, turning him into her pawn so she can rid the entire world of caring. |
| 587 | ---- |
| 588 | * AxCrazy: It's not immediately obvious at first given her suave and subdued demeanor early on, but as the film progresses it becomes obvious she's not only an anarchistic nihilist that wants to drive the world into anarchy, but she's also an insane, emotionally manipulative sadist. |
| 589 | * BigBad: Of the first movie, being the commanding force behind Nicholas. |
| 590 | * ColdHam: While she is normally very hammy, she can also give dramatic lines with a subdued tone, which in turn makes her more threatening. |
| 591 | * DarkIsEvil: While she starts off portraying herself as [[LightIsNotGood a golden face with green eyes- colors associated with divinity]], she quickly discards it by inverting her color scheme to what she's best remembered as- a dark-green hyper-realistic face with tints to highlight her bone structure and yellow eyes. She also causes a HatePlague, [[CorruptTheCutie corrupts Nicholas into villainy]], and summons sentient spells with frightening visages. |
| 592 | * EvilIsHammy: She starts off as suave and charismatic but gradually she indulges more and more in viciously bombastic lines as she becomes more and more successful in her plans. |
| 593 | * FalseFriend: She pretends to befriend Nicholas, but it's an act to aid her schemes. |
| 594 | * GoodColorsEvilColors: Downplayed as she was always evil. She starts off [[LightIsGood manifesting with a golden color scheme with emerald green eyes]] to make her appear more appealing to Nicholas. When Tenderheart pesters her enough, she permanently inverts her color scheme in a bout of fury- [[GreenAndMean green with visible shadows]] and [[YellowEyesofSneakiness sinister yellow eyes]], which shows her true evil colors, but Nicholas is both too naive and desperate for a friend to notice. |
| 595 | * LargeHam: She starts off with a reserved tone but the more her plan succeeds, she begins to become more and more bombastic in her tone of voice. |
| 596 | * LightIsNotGood: Initially, she manifests with a golden color scheme with green eyes while having the worst intentions in mind to be more visually comforting to Nicholas. She quickly tosses this aside when Tender-Heart manages to annoy her enough- permanently inverting her color scheme to dark green with the yellow sclera. |
| 597 | * ManipulativeBitch: She persuaded Nicholas quite easily with her plans, helped by the fact he was so desperate for a friend, he'd do anything. |
| 598 | * MaskOfSanity: She acts like a suave and charismatic woman early on but gradually the mask begins to slip to reveal her true personality as a nihilistic, destructive, and insane sadist. |
| 599 | * MysteriousPast: Like so many other Care Bears villains, we know nothing about who she was, what horrible things she did before being stuck in a book, and who put her there. At most, Tenderheart speculates that The Spirit has some beef against Care-A-Lot and wanted to rid Earth of all caring specifically to destroy the former. |
| 600 | * NonstandardCharacterDesign: She's drawn in sharp angles with tints to highlight her bone structure- leading to a hyper-realistic face that contrasts the softer characters and the cutesy environment. |
| 601 | * ObviouslyEvil: She initially tries to downplay it in spite of being attached to an ominous-looking spellbook by appearing as a [[LightIsNotGood golden face with emerald eyes]]. When Tender-Heart pesters her enough, she inverts her color scheme into the one she portrays for the rest of the film- a green hyper-realistic face with yellow eyes- which plays this straight. Nicholas is too desperate and lonely for a friend to truly comprehend this even when she causes a HatePlague or summoning [[EldritchAbomination sentient spells]]. |
| 602 | * OmnicidalManiac: While the lack of caring causes the destruction of Care-A-Lot is her suggested goal, it's heavily implied that beyond the lack of caring, is that she wants the world to devolve into anarchistic chaos and nihilism that will lead to humanity's self-destruction. |
| 603 | * SatanicArchetype: A [[LightIsNotGood initially golden entity]] that [[DealWithTheDevil tempts a youth with false promises while truly leading him to cause the world to tear itself apart]], [[RageAgainstTheHeavens while attempting to take down a cutesy paradise populated with entities that lead people on the right path]], and [[DarkIsEvil is portrayed with dark color schemes as well as manifests powers in either corruptive in nature or truly unnatural manners]]. While lacking the usual features associated with the character, the Spirit's goal is essentially taking down the heavens while corrupting humanity into committing sin and violence against one another. |
| 604 | * SealedEvilInACan: She can't affect the world directly as she's locked in a book and needs Nicholas as a medium to cast her spells. She's then sealed away again. |
| 605 | * TheSociopath: She gives a façade of concern and guidance towards Nicholas to manipulate but truly does not care for him beyond a vessel to cast her spells as she cannot do it herself. Her desire to cause anarchy is implied out of personal [[ForTheEvulz sadistic amusement]] in addition to petty revenge. And she gets angry whenever things don't go her way. |
| 606 | * SoftSpokenSadist: She initially starts off as this, giving a calm and suave tone to persuade Nicholas while having an enjoyment of the suffering of others. [[EvilIsHammy This gradually is downplayed as she engages in more bombastic behavior as she revels in her victory]]. |
| 607 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: She makes Nicholas go completely crazy and power-mad, and comes within two people in the ''entire world'' of destroying Care-a-Lot forever. And unlike the other villains, she's never played for laughs- being an implied anarchist nihilist that wants the world to devolve into chaos with her threatening spells, which contrasts with the cutesy world of the Carebears. |
| 608 | * VoiceOfTheLegion: She does this twice. When giving the command to the first sentient spell and when further coaxing Nicholas into continuing the plan. |
| 609 | [[/folder]] |
| 610 | |
| 611 | [[folder:Nicholas]] |
| 612 | ->Voiced by: Hadley Kay (young), Creator/MickeyRooney (adult) |
| 613 | The assistant to the stage magician Mr. Fetuccini. Nicholas never had a friend in his life, which makes him easy prey for the Spirit when she convinces him to wreak revenge on the town that spurned him--and eventually, the entire world. |
| 614 | ---- |
| 615 | * AntiVillain: While he does gradually become violent and insane, he only does so due to implied brainwashing and to support his [[FalseFriend first "supportive" ally]] in the Spirit after years of abuse. Once he's made to see the errors of his ways, he immediately turns back to good. |
| 616 | * AxCrazy: Gradually becomes this under the Spirit's influence, going from reluctantly serving her to enthusiastically gathering ingredients with violent intent to the point he gives an iconic NightmareFace to showcase his insanity before he goes back to normal. |
| 617 | * CreepyShadowedUndereyes: As he falls more into the sway of the Spirit, he develops these. |
| 618 | * HeelFaceTurn: Ultimately, Kim and Jason's kindness gets through to him, and he helps defeat the Spirit. |
| 619 | * HeldGaze: He has one with Kim after he reforms what some fans interpret as a ShipTease. |
| 620 | * MoreThanMindControl: A big part of how the Spirit is able to keep a hold over him in spite of his growing concerns, is due to the feelings of needing anyone as a friend- thus fearing going back to being alone if she abandons him and the resentment of being mistreated his entire life- leading him to engaging in her plan. Once Jason and Kim make it clear they can care for him and that the Spirit is only using him, he manages to seal away the Spirit again. |
| 621 | * NarratorAllAlong: He turns out to be Mr. Cherrywood, the story's narrator. |
| 622 | * NightmareFace: Gives an iconic warped angry face with [[WingdingEyes interchanging white and black circles within enlarged eyes]] right out of nowhere just before Kim and Jason reform him. |
| 623 | * WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: By the climax, he's gone completely mad and attacks Kim, Jason, and the others with the intent to harm or kill. It's also reflected on his appearance, which starts off as having bags under his eyes before having his hair stand up and leading to his infamous NightmareFace. |

Taking a human girl named Christy under his wing, he eventually forges a connection with her that surprises him. [[spoiler: To the point of turning to the Care Bears Family to save her after he accidentally endangers her, and willingly becoming a human boy to stay with her.]] |

The Star and Heart Buddies delay his efforts to catch the Bears and Cousins, and HilarityEnsues and ends with him in a messy heap outside the dining hall. This status eventually stops, though, the moment the Bears and Cousins suggest [[RageBreakingPoint giving him a hug to cheer him up]]. |

[[spoiler:To the point that he refuses to harm her during the final fight, asking her to run and save her life and pushing her out of the way. When he realizes he accidentally wounded her with his lightning, he immediately stops fighting and makes a truce with the Care Bears to save her.]] |
| 641 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: Dark Heart is flabbergasted that Christy would save his life, noting that it would have been smarter for her to let him drown. |
| 642 | * EvilRedhead: Has red hair and is the BigBad. [[spoiler:Pre-redemption, at least.]] |
| 643 | * GoodHurtsEvil: Positive feelings seem to make him at least physically uncomfortable. |

| 647 | * KickTheDog: Intimidates Christy by using his powers to lift the former Camp Champ and dump him in a garbage can. |
| 648 | * LargeHam: He's very flamboyant and seems to be channeling the spirit of Creator/ChristopherWalken during some of his lines. |
| 649 | ** "One day the world will be rid of GOODNESS and KIIINDNEEEESS!" |
| 650 | ** "Time for a game of disappearing bears..." |
| 651 | * LoveRedeems: Or Caring Redeems. [[spoiler:Dark Heart becomes Christy's friend (after she saves his life), and he feels so bad about nearly killing her that it drives the evil out of him.]] |
| 652 | * MindOverMatter: Another one of his myriad powers. |
| 653 | * MorphicResonance: All of his forms have a red and gray color pattern. |
| 654 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:After seeing that he accidentally zapped Christy.]] He even outright asks, "What have I done?" |
| 655 | * MysteriousPast: What he is, where he comes from, and what his history was before we see him trying to sink the future Care Bears' ship are never revealed to the audience. |
| 656 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His voice and his speech patterns can remind one of Creator/ChristopherWalken. |
| 657 | * NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: Well, he almost drowns by hitting his head, passing out, and falling out of a canoe in human form. |
| 658 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Dark Heart turns himself into a 12 year old boy for most of the movie, but is not a real child [[spoiler:until the end of the movie]]. |
| 659 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Though at the end of the movie, his eyes turn [[InnocentBlueEyes blue,]] because [[spoiler:he's turned into a normal kid]]. |

| 671 | An arrogant, ambitious young girl who has the misfortune of being stuck at a summer camp she hates. She eagerly accepts Dark Heart's offer to become his helper in exchange for him using his magic to give her whatever she wishes for. |
| 672 | ---- |
| 673 | * AntiVillain: She's a girl who was treated like dirt for not being good at sports by the other kids and forced to do all the chores for them. When Dark Heart offered her to grant her wish to become better in exchange of her helping him to do something[[note]]Note that at the time of her DealWithTheDevil, she didn't know exactly what favor she would have to do for him.[[/note]], she agreed. She later agrees to help his kidnapping of the Care Bears because she fears he would take back what he gave to her (and probably because she fears his magical powers in general; she did see him change form and throw a kid in a trash can with his powers). [[spoiler:During the climax, she does the right thing and helps the Care Bears though.]] |
| 674 | * BadassNormal: After Dark Heart empowers her, she can beat any other camper at sports and other camp-related activities. It's unclear just how powerful and skilled he made her. |
| 675 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Has brown hair and eyes. She looks a lot like Chris from ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster''. |
| 676 | * DealWithTheDevil: How she and Dark Heart become linked; she promises her allegiance, he grants her wishes. |
| 677 | * TheDragon: For Dark Heart, as she's his accomplice in his EvilPlan. |
| 678 | * DrivenByEnvy: Her actions are mainly motivated by jealousy for anyone with a better life than her. |
| 679 | * FreudianExcuse: She was treated like dirt by the other campers and forced to do the chores for them because she wasn't good at sports, which fueled her resentment. When Dark Heart offers her to grant her wish of being the best, she jumps at the opportunity. |
| 680 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:After receiving a YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre speech from her friends Dawn and John, she decides to do the right thing and to help rescue the Care Bears from Dark Heart.]] |
| 681 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: After becoming the "camp champ", she becomes incredibly boastful and behaves like the bully who was harassing her earlier. However, it's to mask her own insecurities. She's afraid to become a "nobody" and a loser again if Dark Heart removes the magic that turned her into "camp champ". |
| 682 | * MoralityPet: For Dark Heart. After she saves his life, he starts to care about her. [[spoiler:To the point that he refuses to harm her during the final fight even after she joins forces with the Care Bears, asking her to run and save her life and pushing her out of the way. When he realizes he accidentally wounded her with his lightning, he immediately stops fighting and makes a truce with the Care Bears to save her.]] |

| 689 | * WhosLaughingNow: After Dark Heart's magic grants her wish of becoming better at sports, she wastes no time in getting her revenge on TheBully who was harassing her before and humiliates him. Although it's ultimately deconstructed, as it also shows [[TookALevelInJerkass that she became just as bad as he was]]. |
| 690 | * YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Receives this kind of speech from her friends John and Dawn. It manages to convince her that doing the right thing is more important than being the "camp champ". |

| 695 | ->Voiced by: Creator/ColinFox |
| 696 | The main antagonist of [[WesternAnimation/TheCareBearsAdventureInWonderland the third 1980s movie]]. A member of the court of the Queen of Heart, he longs to overthrow the Queen and rule Wonderland himself. To do that, he has the Princess of Heart kidnapped before she's supposed to inherit the throne and intends to use the SuccessionCrisis to take the crown. |
| 697 | ---- |
| 698 | * AffablyEvil: He manages to present a very successful veneer of himself as a kindly and genial figure. His VillainSong is a sinisterly sweet melody set to ''ukuleles'', of all instruments. Even for a Care Bears villain --or perhaps [[VileVillainSaccharineShow especially for a Care Bears villain]]-- that's pretty unintimidating. |
| 699 | * BigBad: The chief antagonist of the third movie. |
| 700 | * CanonForeigner: There was no wizard in the original ''Literature/AliceInWonderland''. |
| 701 | * ControlFreak: He hates Wonderland's craziness and wants to bring law, order and logic in it, with everything under his command. |
| 702 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Or, in his case, "Wizard". |
| 703 | * InformedAbility: Everyone calls him "the Wizard", but we never see him use any actual magic (outside of the DisneyAcidSequence aspects of his VillainSong). |
| 704 | * NightmareFace: Trope Image. He does a brief but frightening one at the end of his VillainSong, with bulging eyes and distended jaws full of ''huge'' fangs. |
| 705 | * NoNameGiven: He's not known by anything other than his title. |
| 706 | * VillainSong: "The King of Wonderland". |
| 707 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Crazily inverted. The Wizard's goal is to bring law and order to Wonderland. In any other context, this would ordinarily make him the de-facto hero, in trying to bring order to chaos - [[ItMakesSenseInContext but this is Wonderland]]. His plan would destroy the life and soul of this alternate reality. Moreover, he's also hinted to be a NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist, as the reason he brings law and order is to have "everything at [his] command". |
