The Original Care BearsTenderheart BearThe Care Bear's defacto leader and main mascot of the series throughout the 1980s. Tenderheart Bear is the brown bear with the simple heart symbol.
Birthday BearGolden yellow in color, his symbol is a cupcake. His metier is birthdays, or more generally celebrations.
Cheer BearThe main female Care Bear, Cheer Bear replaced Tenderheart Bear as the main Care Bear in the 2000s. She's the pink bear with the rainbow symbol. She is ridiculously overenthusiastic in everything she does. In The Giving Festival Movie, Cheer Bear became part of the official Care Team, along with Funshine Bear, Grumpy Bear and Share Bear.
Friend BearOrange in color, her symbol is two entwined flowers. She embodies the spirit of friendship and is extremely outgoing.
Grumpy BearGrumpy Bear is the embodiment of depression, cynicism, and general bad moods. He's the blue bear with the rain cloud symbol. He's fairly unique, in that he's the only Care Bear to represent a negative emotion (the idea being to teach kids that it's okay to be grumpy sometimes). He's perfectly aware he's trapped in a Sugar Bowl and is not happy about it. In The Giving Festival Movie, Grumpy Bear became part of the official Care Team, along with Funshine Bear, Cheer Bear and Share Bear.
Funshine BearUsed to be a girl, was reinvented as a boy for the 2000 revival. S/He is basically Grumpy Bear's polar opposite, having a positive attitude regardless of anything. Sometimes has difficulty reigning in his/her sense of humor. S/He is the yellow bear with the sun symbol. In the male persona, he's also sort of the embodiment of outdoor sports. In The Giving Festival Movie, Funshine Bear became part of the official Care Team, along with Cheer Bear, Grumpy Bear and Share Bear.
Love-A-Lot BearThe embodiment of Love, Love-A-Lot is the pink bear with the double heart symbol.Good Luck BearThe Care Bear embodiment of good luck. The green bear with the shamrock symbol.
Wish BearA Care Bear whose duty it is to make people's wishes come true. She's the mint-colored bear with the shooting star symbol.
Bedtime BearThe embodiment of dreams and sleep. Bedtime Bear is the blue bear with the crescent moon symbol. Spends his days asleep, but at night, or when forced to wake up by a pressing situation, he demonstrates impressive competence.
Later Additions (1980s)Champ BearA bear who was the embodiment of athletics and competition. He used to be tan with a plain heart symbol, but was later revamped into blue with a trophy symbol. He started out as an enthusiastic sports star, but was later re-purposed into more or less the Care Bear version of an asshole gym teacher.Share BearThis Care Bear helps all of her friends to see the importance of sharing with and caring for others. Her tummy symbol originally had a milkshake with two straws, but it became two lollipops in 2002 because they didn't want kids sharing germs.
Secret BearUsed to be a boy, but changed to a girl in later revivals. He is the only Care Bear that never speaks (at least not out loud), keeping everything to himself. If he has anything to say, he will either mime it or at most, whisper it in another bear’s ear. He is usually seen hanging out with Friend Bear, and she is the bear he mostly verbally communicates with through his whispering. He was originally orange and his symbol being a heart-shaped lock, but in revivals, he became a she, her fur colour changed to pink and she can now openly talk.Hugs and TugsToddler Care Bears - one is a pink girl with the star peeking out of a heart symbol, the other is a blue boy with a star in diapers symbol. They either act exactly alike, or stereotypically according with their genders.
Grams BearThe matriarch of the Care Bears, a wise old lady who usually takes care of Hugs and Tugs. She's the blue-grey bear with the rose symbol.True Heart BearDebuting in the second Movie, she was the caretaker of the young care bears and brought them to the Kingdom of Caring.

Cozy Heart PenguinCozy Heart Penguin is the purple penguin with the heart and wool cap symbol who embodies warmth. His/her gender varies.
Loyal Heart DogA blue dog with a white patch over his eye. A loyal friend, and one of the more "proper" members of the cast.Lotsa Heart ElephantA pink elephant who embodies persistence. She's the pink elephant with the 2-ton weight symbol. She is ridiculously strong and heavy, but sees herself as a dainty young girl, which causes a lot of accidental property damage.
Playful Heart MonkeyA yellow monkey with a heart with a party horn inside it for a chest symbol. A wild and boisterous party animal.Proud Heart CatThe proud, confident, purring cast member. Her tummy symbol is a curved pink star with a heart inside it, and she is turquoise in colour.Treat Heart PigThe big-eating yellow pig with an ice cream cone for a symbol.Gentle Heart LambA timid scaredy-cat mint-coloured lamb with a lace-covered heart logo.Swift Heart RabbitA blue rabbit who embodies... uh... running very fast, and whose symbol is a heart with wings. Like Cozy Heart Penguin, his/her gender varies, though most often s/he is referred to as male.
Noble Heart HorseA purple horse introduced in the second movie. He is the overseer of the Forest of Feelings and True Heart Bear's partner bringing the Care Bears and Care Bear cousins to the Kingdom of Caring, when they were newborn cubs.
VillainsGrizzleSeen only in Adventures in Care-a-Lot. Grizzle is a brown bear who looks like the other Care Bears, except that he has no tummy symbol and often dresses up in a massive mechanical suit to make himself seem more intimidating. He has a number of robotic lackeys, but by The Giving Festival Movie, they have all abandoned him, most particularly Wingnut, who has become an honorary Care Bear.

Later Additions (2000s)Too Loud Bear, Messy Bear and Me BearThis trio was seen only in Big Wish Movie. They decided to move into Care-a-Lot after Wish Bear wished for some friends to show up who liked wishing as much as she does. They abused the power of the wishing star Twinkers and generally made a mess of things, but redeemed themselves in the end. Messy Bear even agreed to become Neat Bear, with Too Loud Bear becoming Quiet Bear.
Oopsy BearThe newest addition to the Care Bear family, and the unluckiest Care Bear in history — not only is he the only Bear who lacks a tummy symbol (or "belly badge") and displays no magical powers at all, but he's also a walking disaster who can't walk three steps without falling down or accidentally breaking something. He's a light green bear with no tummy symbol, though he sometimes draws different (useless) tummy symbols on himself in magic marker.
WingnutRobot who used to work for Grizzle. He was taken in by the Care Bears and turned turned to good. His look was upgraded for the Giving Festival Movie. He has been made an honorary Care Bear.
