37	----
38	%%* AttentionWhore:
39	%%** She was like this in "The Favorite".
40	%%** She's also briefly is this for a moment in "Princess Sheegwa", where she tries to get her parents and Dongwa, who are busy talking to Sheegwa, to look at a flower she's pretending to wear like it's something they ''must'' see.
41	%%* BigDamnHeroes: In "How Sagwa Got Her Colors". A truly wonderful accident, ironically enough.
42	%%* BrainyBrunette: Her dyed fur could make her this.
43	%%* ButtMonkey: This happens to her in a few episodes like "Sagwa the Stray"
44	%%* CatsAreSuperior: She states this in one of the "What About You?" segments.

49	%%* HiccupHijinks: This happened to her in "Tough Guy Dongwa".
50	* TheMakeover: She got this, as shown in the first episode, as a result of falling face-first into a pot of ink. She is shown again with her original look in "Sagwa's Lucky Bat".
51	%%* NiceGirl
52	%%* PinkMeansFeminine: Her "special" collar is fusia.
53	%%* PlatonicLifePartners: With Fu-Fu.
54	%%* TheResenter: Becomes this for a while in both "Princess Sheegwa" and "Too Close for Comfort".
55	%%* TheSmartGirl: Most of the time, but she has her moments of foolishness.
56	* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She's not stereotypically girly, and her best friend is male; however, she's far from a complete tomboy. For example she enjoys pretending to have a tea party with Sheegwa while wearing a dress, her special occasion collar is fusia, and she admits she really wanted to be a princess in one episode.
57	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to one of the "What About You?" segments on the PBS airings, her favorite food is mooncakes.
58	%%* {{Tuckerization}}: Named and based after Amy Tan's former cat.

72	----
73	%%* BreakoutCharacter: He becomes one of the most popular characters of the show.
74	%%* ButtMonkey: Whenever he was a Jerkass, there were at times he's in the LaserGuidedKarma.
75	%%* CoolBigBro: Tends to zigzag this with being a jerk towards his sisters, though he still cares for them.
76	%%* TheEeyore: Briefly became like this when he heard Siao-Po was only staying for a month.
77	* ExtremeOmnivore: He ate some sticks in "Tough Guy Dongwa". Though this was mostly to hide the fact that he was collecting them to build a nest for Haiyo.
78	* HiddenDepths: "Festival of the Lanterns" reveals he's very good at old-style calligraphy, despite the fact that he never cares for it.
79	%%* HumblePie: Even though he's the competitive type, he doesn't let this over head too much.
80	* HypocriticalHumor: In the first episode, he complains how Sheegwa ask so many questions. In the beginning of Mama's story, we see Dongwa asking questions about the Magistrate's rules.
81	%%* IJustWantToBeBadass: His desire to be seen as a tough guy is a recurring source of conflict.
82	* InnocentlyInsensitive: When he first meets Uncle Miao, he becomes bored of the latter's story on their family history and thoughtlessly says he hates history; he is immediately ordered to apologize. On the upside, he gets better later in the episode.

84	%%** Despite being a jerkass towards his siblings, Dongwa still cares for them.
85	%%** He was also like this towards Haiyo.
86	* LaserGuidedKarma:
87	** In "The Foolish Magistrate's Aching Tooth", he mocked Sagwa for being afraid of Hau-Ju the Porcupine. Ha-Jun soon gave him a scare.
88	** In "Not So Purrfect Paitent", he was caught faking being hurt by Mama, and had to gather the Banana Leaves by himself.
89	** In "The Favorite", he told Sagwa he's Baba's favorite. Later in the episode, he gets comeuppance when Baba's water splash scared him, causing him to fall in the lake. He wasn't amused at first by Baba laughing at him, but soon felt better.
90	%%* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He had this after insulting High-O in "Tough Guy Dongwa"
91	%%* NotMyLuckyDay: Happened to him in "My Fair Kitty" after his collar was borrowed by Mung and falling in mud.
92	%%* OnlySaneMan: He was like this in "Sagwa, Fu-Fu and the Whistling Pigeon" when Sagwa and Fu-Fu were fighting.
93	%%* ThePrankster
94	* PurpleIsPowerful: His purple collar, either because he's a palace cat, or because he's the more HotBlooded of the three.
95	%%* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: the Manly Man towards Fu-Fu's Sensitive Guy
96	%%* SmallNameBigEgo: He has his moments of this, even once telling Sagwa that he was Baba's favorite kitten.

106
107	The youngest kitten of the Miao family.
108	----
109	* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: She tends to be like this sometimes towards both Sagwa and Dongwa. Unlike some examples, however, she still manages to be quite likable. If anything, Dongwa is often more annoying.
110	* BerserkButton: She doesn't take it kindly if you call her tiny or baby.
111	* BlushSticker: She's the only family member with pink blushes.
112	%%* BreakTheCutie: In "Precious Gift".

117	** Also, her blushes often show up or not in certain episodes.
118	* GenderFlip: Originally a boy in the book.
119	%%* TheIngenue

123	%%* PinkMeansFeminine
124	* YourMakeupIsRunning: This is mostly seen when she starts crying (although she doesn't cry much over the course of the series' 40 episodes). In fact one of the downloadable coloring pages you print from the Sagwa site on the PBS Kids website. She is seen crying with most of her eye liner running down her face.
125	* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She often acts fairly gender-neutral and doesn't mind getting dirty while playing. In fact, in the episode where she becomes a princess, she doesn't enjoy as she has to stay clean and not go anywhere. However, her default attire is a pink collar, and like Sagwa, she enjoys pretending to have tea parties while wearing dresses.
126	* TheWorseningCurseMark: In "Princess Sheegwa", she had a birthmark that claimed that she's a princess, resulting in the servants pampering her. While at first she likes the extra attention, she grows to hate it when it results in her being separated from her family. Then after a bath it turned out that mark was just a smudge of dirt.

159	The owner of the palace, who acts immature and idiotic at times, but means well.
160	----
161	* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the original book, he was ruthless and just made the rules because he wanted everyone to respect him. In the cartoon, he's slightly more of a bumbler as he makes the rules due to his wife. Though he is stern at times.
162	%%* BumblingDad
163	%%* FanDisservice: Any time he appears in his underwear. As it is an undergown, it's a downplayed example, however.

173	* TookALevelInKindness: In the first episode, he was revealed to have once been an uncaring and indifferent individual who at the constant urging of Tai-Tai enforced unreasonable rules simply so she could exploit them for fines. Due to Sagwa's accidental intervention however, the villagers think he's had a change of heart when his law to ban singing is instead rewritten so that it never has to end, and when they sing praises to him he is so moved that he does away with all the restrictive laws he had once passed.
174	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Noodles, of course.

193	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone:
194	** In "The Birds, the Bees and the Silkworms", she orders her husband to banish the creatures that have been thought as pests. However, she learns that they're very important after the banquet hadn't turned out great.
195	** Subverted in "Tung The Sining Cricket", in which her reaction to seeing her husband (who has almost never cried in front of her) mourning the death of his cricket---which she "caused"---is to say, "I wonder if I did the right thing."

211	%%* NiceGirl: Ba-Do is definitely this.
212	* OutOfFocus: The yellow and blue daughters, Luk-Do and Huang-Do respectively. The fact that there's [[ADayInTheLimelight an episode titled "Ba-Do and the Lantern Festival"]] shows how much focus their sister, by comparison, has gotten.

253	'''The Alley Cats''' are a group of rather obnoxious bully cats who live in the streets and alley ways of the village.

262	%%* BreakoutCharacter: Like Dongwa, they became some of the most popular characters due to their hilarious moments.
263	%%* BrooklynRage: Wing-Wing... even though the show is set in China, circa 1890s.
264	* CatsAreMean: Most of the time they are very much so. To the point that they ridicule Sagwa for her markings despite knowing the reason she has them! Jet-Jet at least gets a PetTheDog moment late in the series, however.
