Lan Jun Ye/Jade Armor
Jade Armor (left), Normal (Middle), Training (Right)
Voiced by: Elle Haddock
The main character. Lan Jun is the eighth Jade in history and has much to learn about her powers, being Jade and fighting the Crimson Lord. In the meantime, she also has to juggle superheroics with school life.- Ability Mixing: In episode 26, she tries and succeeds to combine the powers of two Beasticons at the same time. However, this puts a lot of strain on them and results in them quickly running out of energy.
- Action Girl: Being the main character and quite skilled in martial arts, she is not afraid to fight the bad guys.
- Affectionate Nickname: Lan Jun is called Lan-Lan by her friends and family. She is also called LJ for short.
- Apologetic Attacker: Whenever any of her friends harm her under the influence of a shard, she's not comfortable at all fighting back. Episode 12 amps this up, apologizing to the Crimson Lord upon removing his shard, as she's come to understand that depriving him of a normal body is akin to torture.
- Badass Normal: Having been trained in martial arts since childhood, she is a force to be reckoned with even without the Jade Armor. She even defeated the Crimson Lord in an alternate universe without the Jade Armor.
- Barrier Warrior: She can summon a wind barrier to block attacks or throw enemies away who got too close.
- Because Destiny Says So: Played With. While bummed out over the fact she wasn't "chosen" for any good reason and believing she shouldn't wear the Jade Armor, her inner self argues that she still did great and that even if she turns out not to be destined to be Jade, then someone else will naturally do so eventually, as destiny never fails. She seems to accept it.
- Berserk Button: Bad mouthing or otherwise messing with her mom. It helped her overcome a number of shard effects. Further, when the Crimson Lord trapped her mom in a light bulb, she got dead serious, immediately attacking him upon seeing him and pinning him down.
- Braids of Action: She sports a long braided ponytail. As Jade Armor, it grows even longer.
- The Chosen One: Subverted, harshly. She believed it to be the case, but as it turns out, the Beasticons only chose her because they were desperate after being stuck in the first episode's time loop.
- The Unchosen One: After meeting her inner self within her psyche, she fully understands that while she wasn't chosen by a greater power to be Jade, she chose to become Jade, and that's what matters in the end.
- Chronic Hero Syndrome: She feels the strong need to help everyone, even if it results in the Crimson Lord gaining a shard.
- Clark Kenting: Jade doesn't even bother wearing a mask, albeit with her helmet, eye color and hair changing, dermal patterning and her entire armor getup, you'd be forgiven not to know she's Lan Jun. Later explained that, in a similar fashion to Miraculous Ladybug's "quantum masking", the armor is equipped with a magic that prevents anyone from recognizing her true identity just by looking at her.
- Color Character: As Jade Armor since "Jade" is a shade of green.
- Crush Blush: Downplayed. Most of the time she is with Kai, she acts normally. But from time to time, she does end up blushing.
- Cute Bruiser: Despite appearing like an average young girl, she is an expert martial artist even without the Jade Armor.
- Elemental Powers: As the wearer of the Jade Armor, the Beasticons grands her fire, ice, wind, earth and water abilities.
- Fatal Flaw: Lan Jun's Complexity Addiction. She always wants to prove she can multitask and be a good Jade as well as a good teenager, but she tends to forget to do so many things and pile up responsibilities that she ends up falling flat. Numerous episodes show it's because she wants to grow up to be like her mother, who could handle all the pressure back when she was still around.
- Friend to All Living Things: Zig-zagged. She's usually nice to the Beasticons, albeit her attitude and arguments with Shenwu often cause splits between her and him (and sometimes the rest of the team as well). Though she always makes sure to make it up to them the best she can. Her attempts at approaching Xinyan are also initially met with failure, though he progressively comes to accepting her help when he thinks the situation is desperate.
- Henshin Hero: While a skilled martial artist as both Lan Jun and Jade Armor, she only has access to the Beasticons Elemental Powers as Jade Armor.
- I Call It "Vera": Lan Jun's cellphone is named Celly and her new bike is named Siclara.
- Inner Monologue: The audience often hears her thoughts.
- Kid Hero: While her exact age is never specified, it's stated that she's in her teens. Of course, that doesn't stop her from being a superhero.
- Like Parent, Like Child: Like her mother, she is Jade Armor fighting against the Crimson Lord.
- Limited Social Circle: Most of the time, she only hangs out with Alisha and Theo, sometimes with Kai and once in a while with Pearl, usually only if either is affected by a shard.
- Missing Mom: Her mom has been missing for ten years after sacrificing herself to stop the Crimson Lord.
- "Not So Different" Remark: A strange heroic and weaponized variant. As she fights Crimson Lord after swapping bodies with several people over town, she starts listing off the things they both have in common, be it regarding their duties, families and troubles, so as to get in his head and anticipate what move he does next.
- Power Dyes Your Hair: When transforming into Jade Armor, Lan Jun's hair color changes from purple to green.
- Protagonist Title: The name of her superhero persona, Jade Armor, is also the name of the series.
- Real Women Don't Wear Dresses: She is never seen in a dress.
- Refusal of the Call: In the first episode, it took the Beasticons multiple tries until she finally accepted the Jade Armor to stop the ongoing time loop.
- She-Fu: Being a martial artist, she fights with quick, acrobatic moves.
- Sympathy for the Devil: Jade feels this way towards Crimson Lord at times (and Xinyan a lot more often), even having a dream implying she wishes they weren't enemies and could just hang out as casually as she does with her Beasticons and friends. As stated by the news' narration in the finale, her sympathy for her enemies actually proves to be a strength, as she can often not only reason with some of them against a problem in common, or end the entire conflict without causing harm to anyone.
- Taking Up the Mantle: She is the 8th Jade Armor. Her mother was the 7th.
- Transformation Sequence: Whenever she changes into Jade Armor, she gets one.
- Violation of Common Sense: How she manages to summon her mother back to a more present form: have the Beasticons directly attack her all at the same time, removing a shard from her armor and risking her health and safety doing so. It works.
- Why Did It Have to Be Bees: Even as Jade, Lan Jun has an intense phobia of bees, even just one bee will be terrifying to her.
- You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Her inner self, shown as Jade, single-handedly reassures Lan Jun that she's done a great job as the eighth Jade, as well as easing her worries over being unable to fight alone, reminding her that her time as Jade was always a team effort with those close to her and that it's much better to fight as a "we" than on her own.
Beasticons
Magic creatures bonded to the mystical armors worn by warriors such as Jade Armor and Crimson Lord, granting their owners the powers of the elements they're connected to as soon as their holder transforms. As Jade, Lan Jun can rely on Shenwu, Chinlon, Zuchue and Baihu.
Shenwu
Voiced by: Alphonso Freemane
The Wind Tortoise, who's connected to Jade's chest piece. He's mostly a voice of reason within the team and tends to bicker with Lan Jun over her behavior, though he alternates between being overbearing and being in the right.- Blow You Away: As the elemental creature of wind, he grants the wearer of the Jade Armor wind powers.
- Jerkass Has a Point: While he can be harsh and grumpy, he is usually proven right when he warns Lan Jun not to do something.
- Meaningful Name: In Tai Chi, a Shen Wu is someone who through an appropriate level of wisdom and compassion has gained a perfect harmony of body, mind and spirit.
- My Greatest Failure: Implied with Shenwu. The alternate version of him who managed to rescue Xin Qi from destruction, is notably much friendlier and excitable, whereas the main timeline version of him acts like an old geezer over his current Jade's attitude. Lan Jun believes that his failure to save her mother is what made him the sour tortoise he is today.
- Not So Above It All: Shenwu, to his own annoyance at times. He calls modern tech deconcentrating, yet loves seeing memes on social media, watches comedy sitcoms and finds out he loves frogurt in spite of mocking the name.
- Really 700 Years Old: By his own account, he is over 5000 years old.
Chinlon
Voiced by: Lance Krall
The Water Dragon, connected to Jade's arm bracers. He's pretty cool-headed and loves to go through philosophical rants from time to time.- Dragons Are Divine: He is a dragon as well as the elemental creature of water and ice.
- Elemental Dragon: As the elemental dragon of water and ice, he grants the wearer of the Jade Armor these powers.
- Meaningful Name: Chinlon is a combination of "china" and "nylon". It's a type of nylon fabric that is more smooth than regular nylon and is often woven into swimsuits.
- Really 700 Years Old: Like all Beasticons, he is several thousand years old. While his exact age is unknown, he is at least 4000 as he mentioned his eye-sight started to decline at that age.
- Shoulder-Sized Dragon: Like the other Beasticons, he is small enough to fit on Lan Jun's shoulder.
- Word-Salad Humor: From times to times, he likes to come up with odd idioms to help his Jade get through life.
Zuchue
Voiced by: Anne Yatco
The firebird, connected to Jade's helmet. She's very understanding regarding Lan Jun's teenage passions, being the older girl of the Beasticon team.- Affectionate Nickname: Lan Jun calls her Zuzu.
- Genki Girl: She's amused by Lan Jun pretending to be an idol and loves games in general.
- Open Mouth, Insert Foot: A repetitive offender. She first lets it slip that Xin Qi was the previous Jade, then that Lan Jun wasn't chosen for any particular reason at all.
- Playing with Fire: As the elemental creature of fire, she grants the wearer of the Jade Armor fire powers.
- Really 700 Years Old: Like all Beasticons, she is several thousand years old.
- Team Mom: With Shenwu's harsh way of speaking clashing with Lan Jun more than once, she often has to separate them due to how much they scare Baihu.
Baihu
Voiced by: Anne Yatco
The Terra Tiger, connected to Jade's leg pieces. She's a baby Beasticon and thus cannot speak, but is still plenty of help when Lan Jun needs her.- The Baby of the Bunch: The youngest Beasticon. She hasn't even learned to speak yet.
- Dishing Out Dirt: As the elemental creature of earth, she grants the wearer of the Jade Armor earth powers.
- Meaningful Name: His name literally translates to "White Tiger", a form she takes once Lan Jun transforms.
- No-Sell: When a shard affecting the seasons makes her fellow Beasticons go through a regeneration cycle that tires them out, Baihu is the only one to remain full of energy thanks to her youth.
- Really 700 Years Old: Like all Beasticons, she is several thousand years old.
- The Voiceless: Due to being a baby by Beasticon standards, Baihu has not yet learned how to talk.
Friends
Alisha Gray
Voiced by: Jasmine Putmon
Lan Jun's best friend, a phone-savvy teen who loves boba tea and tends to filter through her friends' wackier plans.- Berserk Button: Do not, under any circumstance, come between her and her boba. She was willing to let a shard materialize smartphone features in real life until a bad review closed the Boba Bistro, setting her straight to help Lan Jun get rid of it.
- Deadpan Snarker: Alisha, full stop.
- Limited Social Circle: She is only ever seen hanging out with Lan Jun and Theo
- Shipper on Deck: For Lan Jun and Kai. She is always making sure they get the room along when the opportunity arises.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Boba teas. Also doubles as Serious Business, as she'll absolutely end anyone who gets in the way of her boba. She's even introduced drinking two cups instead of one.
Theo
- Heroic Wannabe: He wants to be a hero and help Jade Armor but he lacks the physical capabilities to stand against her enemies.
- I Just Want to Be Special: He wishes Lan Jun would allow him to be a more active sidekick on her adventures.
- Limited Social Circle: He is only ever seen hanging out with Alisha and Lan Jun.
- Nice Guy: He is fun-loving and enthusiastic, always willing to help.
- Old Shame: Theo is the Kung Fu Fail kid in the viral meme video. Although Jade and Alisha aren't that perturbed by his big secret.
- Superpowers For A Day: In episode 12, he switched bodies with Lan Jun gaining the ability to turn into Jade Armor. It went as well as one would expect.
Family
Liam Green
Voiced by: Jack Shalloo
Lan Jun's father, who was always abroad for work before the show began.- Amazon Chaser: His wife was the previous Jade, which he was aware of.
- Non-Action Guy: Unlike the rest of Lan Jun's family, he doesn't show any skill as a martial artist. Rather, he helps by deciphering ancient texts.
- Secret-Keeper: He was one for his wife and later his daughter.
- So Proud of You: Upon seeing his daughter as Jade, he can only hug her and state how proud Xin Qi would be to see her this way.
Xin Qi
Voiced by: Jensen Olaya
Lan Jun's mother, who has disappeared after the events of the Crimson Lord's destruction. She was the previous Jade before Lan Jun and hasn't been seen ever since.- Action Girl: As the previous Jade armor, she, like her daughter, fought the Crimson Lord directly.
- Color Character: Like her daughter when she was Jade Armor.
- Energy Beings: Following her Heroic Sacrifice to defeat the Crimson Lord for good, she lost her body but managed to survive using her chi. Though she ended up stuck in the city's power grid.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Xin Qi, Lan Jun's mother and the seventh Jade, before the show began as she destroyed the Crimson Lord's armor.
- I Work Alone: Outside the Beasticons, she always worked on her own. Her alternate self from a reality where she hasn't gone missing is understandably shocked to learn that Lan Jun enlisted her two best friends to help her duty as Jade.
- Sealed Good in a Can: Lan Jun eventually manages to bind her spirit into a bottle of her favorite perfume, allowing her to get a more stable form in the absence of her human body.
Zhi Xuan/Gram
Voiced by: Kate Liu
Lan Jun's grandmother.- Action Girl: Played with. While she only fights when confronted by the villain, she is not afraid to do so when the situation arises.
- Badass in Distress: Despite being able to fight on equal grounds with the Crimson Lord, lacking any protection against the shard's magic, she often finds herself in the need of being saved due to the shard's magic.
- Badass Normal: Despite lacking any powers, she is able to hold her own against the Crimson Lord.
- December–December Romance: Fei Fei is clearly interested in her, and she seems flustered by his advances.
- Old Master: She's quite proficient in battle.

- Badass in Distress: Despite being able to fight on equal grounds with the Crimson Lord, lacking any protection against the shard's magic, she often finds herself in the need of being saved due to the shard's magic.
- Badass Normal: Despite lacking any powers, she is able to hold her own against the Crimson Lord.
- Miniature Senior Citizens: She's much smaller than anyone else in her family as well as most other characters in the show.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Her obsession with Mahjong and upholding her title as champion ends up buying time for Crimson Lord to get one of his shards back (though it doesn't last, as usual).
- No Name Given: Her real name is never revealed.
- Old Master: Like her daughter, though in a more straightforward way as she's the one who tends to teach Lan Jun what she has to know most of the time.
Villains
Crimson Lord
Liquid form (Left), solid form (Right)
Voiced by: Jonathan Butler Duplessis
A supervillain that's been terrorizing Ban Tang for ages. He lost his body during a fight with Xin Qi, the previous Jade, and has been revived by his distant cousin Will. The shards that make his armor are active and primordial to his return to power, as well as the main threat that Jade has to deal with.- Anachronism Stew: His dialogue shows he's familiar enough with modern technology and civilization... and at times, he's utterly dumbfounded by what's in front of him.
- And I Must Scream: Downplayed, but he sees being locked into the shape of a puddle as a complete nightmare.
- Bad Boss: Downplayed. While he often berates and insults Will, laughing when something bad happens to him, he never gets physically abusive and also compliments him on good ideas from time to time. Also, Will doesn't seem to mind his beratings.
- Bad People Abuse Animals: He was very abusive towards his Beasticons, which is pretty much why Xinyan has a heavy distrust of humans.
- Batman Gambit: Pulls one in episode 25: After realizing Xin Qi is trapped in the city's power grid, he has Will hook up the RV to the city's power grid while also installing a seperate power generator. Then, he has Kai shut down all electricity across the city knowing it would force Xin Qi to flee trying which would sooner or later result in her landing in the RV's lightbulb trapping her.
- Big Bad: Of the series. In fact, it's the shards of his armor that cause most of the problems.
- The Big Guy: Once he regains his body, he is the tallest and most muscular character in the show.
- Card-Carrying Villain: He is evil, he knows it and he loves it.
- Classic Villain: He wants to take over the city. Why? Because he is evil.
- Color Character: Since crimson is a shade of red, he is one.
- The Dreaded: Everyone except Lan Jun and her family are afraid of him.
- Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: The Crimson Lord is hellbent on causing chaos but later reveals himself to be unable to feel any peace of mind whatsoever, which is why he's so evil as he doesn't see anything wrong with what he does.
- Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": He is only known as "the Crimson Lord". His real name is never mentioned.
- Failure Gambit: He pulls one in episode 11 intentionally holding back and losing to Jade Armor to gaslight Kai into believing his lie that Jade Armor is the real villain.
- Forced to Feel Empathy: In the finale, Jade purifies the shards inside his body, thus purifying the Crimson Lord as well, resulting in him having a Heel Realization and breaking down.
- Freudian Excuse: Implied. Jade supposes that his family's put a lot of pressure on him, as he was the House of Crimson's last member.
- Heel Realization: Upon Jade purifying his armor in its entirety, the Crimson Lord realizes he's been in the wrong all this time and begs for her forgiveness as he turns back into a puddle and renounces all the shards he was holding.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Following the purification of the shards inside his body, he breaks down having a Heel Realization immensely regretting his actions and begging for forgiveness. He then gives up all his shards reverting back to his fluid form.
- The Paralyzer: Once regrown, his helmet allows him to briefly paralyze his opponents.
- People Puppets: When drunk in his liquid form, he can take over other people's bodies. However, the one time he did it, he described it as a not pleasant experience and vowed to never do it again.
- Pet the Dog: Whenever Will has an idea he liked, he will compliment him, much to Will's delight. One time, the Crimson Lord even literally petted him for coming up with a good plan.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: Or a bucket in his case. Finding shards is the only way to give him his full body back.
- Top-Heavy Guy: He has a very muscular upper body but thin legs.
- Transformation Sequence: Whenever he absorbs a shard and regains his solid form, he gets one.
- Vocal Dissonance: Despite being the biggest guy on the show, he has a fairly high voice for a man.
- Was Once a Man: Used to be human, but his armor's destruction with him in it led to him being a puddle once a shard fell into a water bucket. Jade's dialogue implies it may have been gone for much longer than that.
- What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: According to Shenwu, his plight can only end by love, before adding that the Crimson Lord is incapable of feeling it. Although not exactly love, he stops villainy altogether once Jade's purification provides him with the inner peace he's been missing all those years.
Will
Voiced by: Jack Shalloo
A distant cousin of the Crimson Lord who revived him by dropping a shard in a bucket of water. He's been working with him ever since then to give him his body back.- The Bully: When he gets his hand on a Jade Armor video game, he absolutely trumps, mocks and makes fun of other players for his own pleasure. It appears if he's not the one getting picked on, he can be quite demeaning.
- Card-Carrying Villain: He resurrected the Crimson Lord because he is evil, hoping to serve him as his evil sidekick.
- Forced into Evil: Defied. He resurrected the Crimson Lord specifically to become his evil minion.
- Genius Ditz: He's managed to recreate a substitute for the Beasticons and bring back Crimson Lord with his research all while barely living out as a school janitor. If only it weren't for his occasional clumsiness and tendency to lose face in front of his evil boss.
- Giver of Lame Names: The names he gives to worship Crimson Lord get more and more ridiculous as the show goes on.
- Hiding in Plain Sight: He is the school's janitor, so nobody really questions seeing him everywhere, although his presence away from the school eventually gets noticed.
- Intergenerational Friendship: With Kai. Both are avid Red Rogue fans, and he doesn't waste an occasion trying to convince Kai that Crimson Lord's just as heroic as his comic counterpart.
- No Full Name Given: He is only called "Will" throughout the series. His last name is never revealed.
- Not-So-Harmless Villain: He looks like your average ditzy evil henchman but as Xinyan found out the hard way, he's actually more competent than what people give him credit for, as he can analyze situations and quickly figure out whether there's a shard or someone is manipulating him.
- Undying Loyalty: To his master, the Crimson Lord. He never leaves his side and is always there to catch him when his latest scheme fails.
- Villain: Exit, Stage Left: Once the Crimson Lord is depowered back into his fluid state, Will usually simply mobs him up, puts him back in his bucket and the two book it. Lan Jun only tried to pursue them once.
- Villains Out Shopping: He's seen either reading Red Rogue comics, doing tai chi in the park, jamming out to music or different types of hobbies when he's not looking for a shard.
Mrs Bao/Black Tiger
Black Tiger (Left), Normal (Right)
Voiced by: Jing Lusi
A rather mean yet magic-savvy shopkeeper, owner of the Shop of the Strange, who's also the diabolical Black Tiger, a robber who captures magical creatures and items of high value. She's also none other than the sharp-tongued mother of Pearl, a classmate of Lan Jun's.- Abusive Parents: She's rather neglectful towards her own daughter and demands perfect grades from her, believing her unfit to succeed her just yet. It gets better over time.
- Action Girl: As a thief, she is not above getting her hands dirty in fights.
- Card-Carrying Villain: She is fully aware that she is the villain. She is even trying to make the cover of a magazine called "Villains Weekly".
- Clark Kenting: She has a different hair-style and wears stylish high-tech, see-through glasses and a black-and-purple full bodysuit. Other than that, her voice and appearance remain the same.
- Color Character: As Black Tiger since black is a color.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: As harsh as she may be, she does care about her daughter deep down, but her obsession with upstaging her sister and defeating Jade tend to make her lose sight of it.
- Fatal Flaw: Greed. It often causes her to mess with shards only for it to backfire resulting in her needing to be rescued.
- Gadgeteer Genius: She has created a number of gadgets to help her. She can also knows how to combine them with shards.
- Meaningful Name: Depending on the hànzi (or accent mark above the "a" if written in western letters), "Bao" can have dozens of meanings. One of them is Băo, which literally translates to "jewel", "gem" or "treasure", a fitting name for a thief.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Upon Jade purifying the invisibility shard, Black Tiger realizes that had she not been defeated, she might've disappeared forever. Overwhelmed with regret, her daughter then embraces her, making her realize she's been severely unfair to Pearl during the whole misadventure.
- Not So Above It All: Despite her strictness, she is not above making cat puns whenever the opportunity arises.
- The Paralyzer: She has a special powder that can temporarily paralyze anyone.
- Parent-Child Team: She eventually accepts her daughter as her sidekick.
- Sibling Rivalry: She's very jealous of her sister being a more successful and renowned thief, which is what spurs her first onscreen crimes.
- So Proud of You: When Pearl brings back a stolen weapon of Lan Jun's mom's as a birthday gift, she couldn't be prouder of her daughter for doing her very first solo theft.
- Transformation Sequence: Whenever she changes into her Black Tiger costume, she gets one. Though the part where she gets out of her clothes and into her bodysuit is skipped.
Pearl/Blue Lynx
Normal (Left), Blue Lynx (Right)
Voiced by: Ana Yi Puig
A goth classmate of Lan Jun, whose mother owns a shop full of creepy and mystical items (and also is the Black Tiger). She's always seen hanging with her friends Lucy and Jasmine. Later down the show, she gets her own costume and thief persona as Blue Lynx.- Academic Alpha Bitch: Rude as she may be, she's always focused on getting full marks. Her tutoring of Lan Jun will hopefully, according to her, allow Lan Jun to maybe become "second best".
- Action Girl: While she hasn't fought Jade Armor much, she did manage to hold her own against her and successfully escape.
- Clark Kenting: Like her mother, she only wears stylish high-tech, see-through glasses and a blue-and-black full bodysuit but not much else to hide her identity. Still, Lan Jun fails to recognize her.
- Color Character: As Blue Lynx due to blue being a color.
- Freudian Excuse: Her cold demeanor and rather unfriendly attitude towards most of her classmates result from her mother's huge expectations of her. She gets scolded when her passing grade is no longer perfect (never mind the fact she's still top of her class and usually gets full marks).
- Hidden Depths: She did years of gymnastics enough to keep up with Jade, and while she didn't like Jade, she still auditioned for her role during Fei Fei's play. She's also quite crafty when it comes to using threads, such as making herself and Lan Jun friendship bracelets (unaware they're shard-empowered).
- Hidden Heart of Gold: She seems rather cold and mean to those who bother her, but when Lan Jun visits her shop (in her great-grandmother's body), she wastes no time handing her a cup of water when her throat seems sore.
- Not So Above It All: She and her friends attend Theo's stand-up comedy show. They're seen laughing genuinely throughout it.
- Odd Friendship: By her last appearance, it's implied she may eventually develop one with Lan Jun.
- Parent-Child Team: She eventually becomes her mother's sidekick.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: While in the body of Lan Jun's great-grandmother, she wastes no time lecturing her mother about her nasty attitude without having to suffer the consequences.
- Secret-Keeper: Though not show shown at first, she's revealed to be perfectly aware of her mother and aunt's hobbies as supervillain thieves. As it seems she's come to learn who Jade is, she's one to Lan Jun as well.
- Villainous Lineage: Not only is she fully aware her mother and aunt are criminals and proud of it, she wants to help her mother commit her crimes.
- "Well Done, Daughter!" Girl: Would give anything for her mom to acknowledge her as a competent thief and sidekick, as well as academically speaking.
Xinyan
Voiced by: Walles Harmon
The Wood Monkey Beasticon, initially bonded to Crimson Lord's chest piece. Having retrieved a shard when his master was defeated, he lives freely and uses his powers to try and allow animals and Beasticons to rule over humans, taking revenge against humanity as a whole for the abuse the Crimson Lord put him through.- And Then What?: As Alisha put it, even if he manages to get a hold of a shard's power, it won't necessarily be of any use to him and might as well be detrimental, effectively making some battles to get them completely useless.
- Armor-Piercing Response: Jade gets through to him that his hatred of humans is irrational, as not only is Crimson Lord, the one responsible for his abuse, not human anymore, but humans are animal too. He seems to consider it before feigning defeat.
- Because You Were Nice to Me: Xinyan will sometimes agree to help Jade and her friends after they've shown kindness to him, albeit he'll say he's only repaying a debt. This pays off in the end, as he sacrifices his Shard and thus identity as a Beasticon so that the Crimson Lord won't have it.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: He's antagonistic towards Jade, but her efforts to try and make peace progressively seem to wear him down to the point he's willing to stop the fight (under the pretense of shutting her up). When she believes the Beasticons are very ill and begs for his help, he's actually moved by her devotion (even if it doesn't change his mind).
- Early-Bird Cameo: He could be briefly seen in the background of episode 2 before making his debut in episode 4.
- Enemy Mine: In his own words, he doesn't like Jade, he just hates Crimson Lord.
- Heel–Face Revolving Door: Is given many occasions to redeem himself, but his past abuse and distrust of humans keeps him from accepting Jade's offers of joining her team.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Gives up his shard and allows himself to become a regular animal so that Crimson Lord won't use it or him for his evil plans. Thankfully, Lan Jun manages to reverse it back using a purified shard.
- Hidden Depths: Despite his hatred for humans, he quite enjoys human television. For example, when a shard infected a remote causing it to change reality into whatever channel is turned to, he stopped looking for a nature documentary to watch sports instead.
- Humans Are Bastards: His entire motivation is to take the world back from humans and give it to animals and Beasticons alike.
- Last of His Kind: Implied. None of the other Beasticons appear when Crimson Lord try to summon them, and Xinyan himself managed to stay around only because he picked up a shard when his former master was defeated. Whether the other ones are dead, disappeared, also in hiding, regular animals or something else is never shown, as Crimson Lord eventually replaces them with the Beastibot.
- Meaningful Name: Xinyan has many meanings depending on how it is read:
- As a name, it can mean "a desire for independence and freedom from others" which reflects his desire to "free" his fellow Besticons from humans.
- As a word xin yan can mean "heart", "intention", "conscience", "consideration", "cleverness" or "tolerance". This, too, is fitting considering his deep care for other Beasticons which has driven him to even work with Lan Jun on numerous occasions to defeat a common threat.
- Read separately, xin means "joy" while yan means "beauty".
- Red Is Violent: Is a darker shade of red than Zuchue (even his symbol on Jade's armor is red) and is the only actively hostile Beasticon that Lan Jun encounters.
- Sixth Ranger Traitor: Much to his chagrin, he's often reduced to helping Jade whenever things don't work well with whichever villain he teamed up with.
- Trademark Favorite Food: 100-years-old eggs, with a slight preference for banana bread and banana chips (though he does make fun of the fact humans would expect him to like bananas).
- Villain Respect: Over the course of the show, he grew to respect Lan Jun.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Due to having suffered abuse at the hand of the Crimson Lord, he wants to "free" his fellow Beasticons and protect animal kind. As such, he doesn't fight them and, despite his hatred for humans, has even teamed up with Lan Jun multiple times to defeat another villain if her Beasticons are in danger. He can also be reasoned with to a certain degree for example freeing Alisha after she convinced him he didn't actually want to be big or giving up a shard after Jade reminded him that humans are animals, too.
- You Are a Credit to Your Race: Once Lan Jun brings him back to being a Beasticon and insists she doesn't own him and that he's free, he says that for a human, she's not so bad after all.

Lan Jun's school crush and the son of the wealthy Zhu family, who owns the electricity business of Ban Tang.- Corrupt the Cutie: Crimson Lord plans to recruit him in the conflict against Jade. It initially works, but he ends up regretting it and defects back to helping her instead.
- Expy: Main character's crush? A bit of a rebel inside? Unaware she's a superheroine? Has subtle hints of reciprocating her feelings? Son of a wealthy yet corrupt family? Related to the Big Bad? He certainly has shades of resembling Adrien Agreste, minus the superheroic secret identity.
- Heel–Face Turn: After having helped the Crimson Lord gain two shards, he realized his new master doesn't actually care about the city and subsequently betrays him, helping Jade Armor. Downplayed since he wasn't actually evil, just misguided.
- I Kiss Your Hand: In episode 11, he kisses Lan Jun's hand after dancing with her signaling his romantic interest in her to her.
- Meaningful Name:
- His last name Zhu is affiliated with Ming dynasty emperors. As a surname, it means "upright".
- Zhu kai, as his name would be read in eastern Asia, means "to boil food".
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: When he gets enraged, his eyes glow with crimson energy.
- Satellite Love Interest: He debuted mostly as Lan Jun's crush. Subverted harshly once it's revealed he's the descendant of the same tribe as the Crimson Lord, which makes the latter try to join him in his battle against Jade.
- Unishment: In the finale, Kai gets sent to a boarding school after his actions in the previous episode. However, as they got hip-hop dance classes, the very thing his father forbid him to do and his favorite activity, he doesn't seem to complain much and promises to keep contact with Lan Jun.
- Villainous Lineage: His family is said to be "corrupt" and "sinister". He is also related to the Crimson Lord.
VP Lane
Voiced by: Morgan Lorraine
Lan Jun's homeroom teacher, who's usually quite harsh on her students and pushes them to study harder.- Me's a Crowd: Without her knowledge, Lan Jun and Kai end up creating several clones of her within the school while looking for the Mahjong dice she confiscated.
- Old Shame: Before she was a Vice Principal, VP Lane had a secret past she will reveal to no-one, although Jade discovers the truth, but she does not reveal what she learned, so the viewers never find out what happened.
