6->''Oh, la!''
7
8Lottie is a female Eurasian river otter, and the single new character to appear in David Benedictus's ''Return to the Hundred Acre Wood.'' Slightly snobbish and haughty, and so scatterbrained that she makes Tigger look sensible, but ultimately kind and helpful.
9----
10* AffirmativeActionGirl: The second female character introduced to the canon.
11* CanonForeigner: Played with, as she's a character introduced in the unofficial sequel to the original novels.
12* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Even more so than Tigger, amazingly.
13* CloserToEarth: Perhaps the one female character in all depictions to subvert this trope.
14* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's second only to Eeyore when it comes to think up insults, but when it comes down to it she's really quite friendly.
15* MotorMouth: Not quite as extreme as Owl, but still able to talk rings around Rabbit.
16* PlayfulOtter: A curious mix of this and wannabe GrandeDame; she'll berate the others for not acting dignified enough in one moment and run around, playing tag and shouting "can't catch me!" the next.
17* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: The illustrations by Mark Burgess shows her to be wearing a pearl necklace.
18* WhatMeasureIsANonCute: She was originally going to be a garden snake, but since ReptilesAreAbhorrent, the publisher insisted that she be turned into another animal. Benedictus settled on an otter.

22
23Another new animal added for ''The Best Bear in all The World'' story collection, Penguin visits the Hundred-Acre Wood one day. He is based on a plush penguin toy owned by the real Christopher Robin.

26[[folder: Rabbit's Friends and Relations]]
27
28-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/{{Jim Cummings|1952}} (''New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh'')
29
30A large collective group of animals that are recurring associates of Rabbit and the other residents of the Hundred Acre Wood.
31----
32* ADayInTheLimelight: Small the Insect actually gets an individual one in the episode "Small's World After All" of ''My Friends Tigger and Pooh'', which is surprising given how little the Disney canon utilises ''any'' of them. He also is searched for in one book story.
33* DemotedToExtra: While they were a recurring presence in the novels, they only make rare appearances in the Disney franchise such as the end credits of ''Pooh's Heffalump Movie'' and the episode "Party Poohper" of ''New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh''. They would have made a more noteworthy appearance in the 2011 movie, though still only one brief enough to be chopped off as a DeletedScene.
34* DysfunctionalFamily: A lot of occasions we see them they are implied to be just as chaotic and gluttonous around Rabbit as Pooh and Tigger are. In "Return to Hundred Acre Wood", Rabbit tries to take a census of them, luring them in with carrots and shortbread. When he runs out of shortbread, they throw a tantrum until he retreats to Pooh's house in exasperation. Ironically it is Pooh of all people that plays mediator and makes them fix the mess they made (while letting a shaken Rabbit rest in his house and eat his honey).
35* FlatCharacter: Very few of them are granted individual personalities and are just a collective hive of normal animals within the main cast.
36* MeaningfulName:
37** Henry Rush likes to rush up trees.
38** Small's real name is Very Small Beetle, and he's just that.
39* MisterStrangenoun: A few have words in their names, like Henry ''Rush''.
40* {{Nephewism}}: Alexander Beetle lives with his aunt.
41* SpeciesSurname: One of them is Alexander ''Beetle''.

45[[folder: Lumpy]]
46[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lumpy.jpg]]
47
48-->'''Voiced by:''' Kyle Stanger (Pooh's Heffalump Movie and Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie), Oliver Dillion (My Friends Tigger and Pooh)
49
50Lumpy is Roo's new best friend, possibly the only character in the franchise who's younger than him, and one of the elusive Heffalumps -- though unlike previous depictions of these largely unseen monsters he's not the least bit menacing. Another Disney adaptation exclusive, though a much more recent addition than Gopher.
51----
52* TheBusCameBack: Lumpy makes his first major appearance since 2010 in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'', to the surprise of many as they figured Disney had forgotten about the character.
53* CanonForeigner: Exclusive to the Disney canon. In the novels, Heffalumps were never shown or even implied to be real.
54* CheerfulChild: Like Roo, he's a bubbly, chipper little guy.
55* ChildrenAreInnocent: Because he's a child, he's not the stereotypical honey-thief associated with heffalumps in this show.
56* ClarkKenting: Parodied with Lumpy. A RunningGag in ''My Friends Tigger and Pooh'' is that Lumpy can not recognise Tigger or Pooh in their Super Sleuth costumes. This sticks out as not only are they {{Paper Thin Disguise}}s but Pooh and Tigger aren't even ''trying'' to hide their identity.
57* CousinOliver: Was introduced as a new major character and got promoted a lot. Unlike other examples, Lumpy was well-received by viewers.
58* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: The Heffalumps in earlier animated adaptations were all bipedal, some of whom wore clothes while others didn't.
59* HiddenDepths: The end credits to ''Heffalump Movie'' imply he's a rather competent checkers player, running rings around Rabbit.
60* HonorableElephant: Heffalumps resemble elephants, and Lumpy is a sweet guy.
61* LovableCoward: Roo even notes his similarities to Piglet on one occasion.
62* NotSoDifferentRemark: Most of the Hundred Acre Wood gang spend the ''Pooh's Heffalump Movie'' film fearing heffalumps as scary creatures. After they capture him, Roo points how Lumpy is really just like the rest of them. He notes that he gets afraid - prompting Piglet to release the rope, he likes honey - which is Pooh's cue, and he's even learned how to bounce - which, of course, is Tigger's prompt. Rabbit doesn't get a prompt, though Lumpy and the other Heffalumps are shown joining in on his own past times during the credits.
63* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Because his real name is so long nobody but his mother can remember it.
64* OverlyLongName: His real name is "Heffridge Trumpler Brompet Heffalump IV".
65* RealAfterAll: A Heffalump in the flesh.
66* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Even by Pooh standards, he's absolutely ''adorable.''
67* SatelliteCharacter: He was largely designed to be a companion for Roo. Downplayed in ''My Friends Tigger and Pooh'' which makes some attempts at giving him gags with other key characters.
68* ShooOutTheNewGuy: Following his debut movie, Lumpy got promoted fairly heavily and appeared in a few other projects shortly after, though shortly disappeared from most ''Pooh'' animations and merchandise.
69* SpeciesSurname: His last name is apparently "Heffalump".

72[[folder: Holly]]
73-->'''Voiced by:''' Mikaila Baumel
74
75A young reindeer who appears in the Hundred Acre Wood, searching for Santa's sack of toys. She eventually becomes one of Santa's reindeer. She later comes back to the Hundred Acre Wood for a return visit in summer.
76----
77* TheBusCameBack: She stays at the North Pole at the end of ''Pooh's Super Sleuth Christmas Movie'', but then comes back for one story, "Home for the Holly Days," in which she learns about the fun things to do in the Hundred Acre Wood during summer.
78* CheerfulChild: She's generally bright and cheerful, though she can become nervous and sad in new situations.
79* ExpressiveEars: Being a reindeer, she comes by them naturally.

84 [[caption-width-right:350:"Hang on tight, Piglet!"]]
85
86A "character" who appears in the 2011 movie. B'loon is introduced as Christopher Robin's red toy balloon, which is treated by all the other characters as a living, sentient being. It mainly just floats around, drifting in and out of the story at various points and never really does anything a normal balloon wouldn't.
87----
88* BigDamnHeroes: ''Sort'' of, in that [[spoiler:B'loon is the one to "fetch" Christopher Robin at the end and is consequently treated as the hero of the day.]]
89* CompanionCube: A rare example of one that, due do being a balloon, can and does actually move around, though despite what the other characters think, there's no real evidence that it's anything but a normal, inanimate balloon.

97
98->''Rabbee!''
99
100A baby bird rescued and for a while cared for by Rabbit, whom she calls "Rabbee." A Disney-only character, she appeared only in two episodes of ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh'', but was brought back as a major recurring character for ''Series/TheBookOfPooh''.
101----
102* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In ''Book of Pooh'', due to her more prominent role, she is given a more distinct personality, becoming something of a [[SmallNameBigEgo cocksure]] GenkiGirl. Her bond with Rabbit is also heavily underplayed.
103* AgeLift: By her second appearance in ''New Adventures'' she was an actual adult. In ''Seasons of Giving'' and ''The Book of Pooh'' however, she is her adolescent self again.
104* AscendedExtra: She goes from being a two-shot character in the ''New Adventures'' to a full-fledged secondary cast member in ''The Book Of Pooh.''
105* CanonForeigner: She was created by Disney for their animated series.
106* NotAllowedToGrowUp: Averted in ''New Adventures,'' as the entire point of Kessie's character is that she's growing up, especially in her second episode. Zigzagged in ''Seasons of Giving'' and ''The Book Of Pooh,'' though. She remains in her adolescent age all throughout, but keeps her independent streak.
107* SmallNameBigEgo: In ''Book of Pooh'' most of her [[ADayInTheLimelight Days In The Limelight]] shown her suffering from delusions of grandeur, making her something of a DistaffCounterpart for Tigger.

110[[folder:Christopher Robin's mother]]
111-->'''Portrayed by:''' Patricia Parris (''The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh''), Vicki Kenderes-Eibner (''The Book of Pooh''), Katy Carmichael (''Christopher Robin'')
112
113A minor recurring character in ''The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh''. She lives with her son at 100 Acre Road and is only seen from the back.
114----
115* AdaptationNameChange: It's implied in ''New Adventures'' and confirmed in the 2018 movie that her name is Mrs. Robin. The RealLife Christopher Robin's mother's name was Dorothy "Daphne" Milne (née de Sélincourt).
116* TheFaceless: Whenever she appears in ''New Adventures'', we only get to see the back of her head. She also only appears from the neck down in ''The Book of Pooh: Stories from the Heart''.
117* FullNameBasis: If you aceept that Robin is their last name. In ''New Adventures'', she always calls her son Christopher Robin, although in ''The Book of Pooh'', she just calls him Christopher.
118* GoodParents: She's a typical mother who is caring and loving toward her son, enforcing the rules on him with a gentle hand.

160* MarriedToTheJob: He sings about how working is all he seems to do.
161* PlotAllergy: Implied in "Darby, Solo Sleuth" when he thinks he has hayfever, suggesting that hayfever is common for him.
