*
* CoolBigBro: Tends to zigzag this with being a jerk towards his sisters, though he still cares for them.
* TheEeyore: Briefly became like this when he heard Siao-Po was only staying for a month.
* 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.
* HiddenDepths: "Festival of the Lanterns" reveals he's very good at old-style calligraphy, despite the fact that he never cares for it.
* HumblePie: Even though he's the competitive type, he doesn't let this over head too much.
* 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.
* IJustWantToBeBadass: His desire to be seen as a tough guy is a recurring source of conflict.
* 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.
* LaserGuidedKarma: 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.
** In "Not So Purrfect Paitent", he was caught faking being hurt by Mama, and had to gather the Banana Leaves by himself.
** 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.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold:
** Despite being a jerkass towards his siblings, Dongwa still cares for them.
** He was also like this towards Haiyo.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He had this after insulting High-O in "Tough Guy Dongwa"
* NotMyLuckyDay: Happened to him in "My Fair Kitty" after his collar was borrowed by Mung and falling in mud.
* OnlySaneMan: He was like this in "Sagwa, Fu-Fu and the Whistling Pigeon" when Sagwa and Fu-Fu were fighting.
* ThePrankster
* PurpleIsPowerful: His purple collar, either because he's a palace cat, or because he's the more HotBlooded of the three.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: the Manly Man towards Fu-Fu's Sensitive Guy
* SmallNameBigEgo: He has his moments of this, even once telling Sagwa that he was Baba's favorite kitten.
* [[SpikyHair Spiky Fur]]: The fur on top of his head.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He had this, especially when he once told Sagwa he's [[ItsAllAboutMe Baba's favorite kitten]].
* TwinSwitch: Although not identical, he switched places with Mung (who had natural facial markings eerily similar to Dongwa's) so that he can impress his cousin Chung-Nee.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Jesse Vinet
The youngest kitten of the Miao family.
----
* 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.
* BerserkButton: She doesn't take it kindly if you call her tiny or baby.
* BlushSticker: She's the only family member with pink blushes.
* BreakTheCutie: In "Precious Gift".
* CuteKitten: The cutest of the Miao family and the cutest character in the series.
* CheerfulChild: As the youngest character on the show, she is often the most cheerful and adorable.
* DependingOnTheArtist:
** She is mostly seen with her right ear folded, but it might often switch in other episodes. Sometimes the folded ear might switch around in the same episode.
** Also, her blushes often show up or not in certain episodes.
* GenderFlip: Originally a boy in the book.
* TheIngenue
* MultipleChoicePast: Was she born before, after, or around the time Sagwa got her colors? The writers can't seem to decide.
* NiceGirl
* ParodySue: PlayedForLaughs in "Sick Day", when both Dongwa and Sagwa decided to tell a story on Sheegwa as the main hero, complete with butterfly wings.
* PinkMeansFeminine
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.

* GoodParents: Despite having a tendency to be strict, he is very wise, kind and caring.
* HatOfAuthority
* HollywoodToneDeaf: He has a notoriously bad singing voice; When writing a song to sing to Mama on her birthday, he wisely elects to have another cat with a much more accomplished voice sing it on his behalf.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: He was quite like both Sagwa and Dongwa when he was a kitten.
* PapaWolf: He certainly has this moments of this, such as his willingness to abandon his lavish life in the palace to prevent his children from being given away to an Italian dignitary.

----
* 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.
* BumblingDad
* FanDisservice: Any time he appears in his underwear. As it is an undergown, it's a downplayed example, however.
* FatIdiot
* HatOfAuthority
* HenpeckedHusband: As noted below, his wife clearly calls the shots in this household.
* KindheartedCatLover: Becomes this after his change of heart.
* ManChild
* ManlyTears: Had this towards the end of the first episode, and also twice in the first half of the forth episode.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Averted in the first episode, where we find out he often enforced unfair laws at the behest of his wife so he could raise taxes; Ultimately subverted when an unlikely incident caused by Sagwa led to a change of heart in him. Nowadays he rules the village with a gentle and fair hand.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: He has a really high pitched scream, especially Hiro Kanwanga voiced him.
* TheToothHurts: This happened to him in "The Foolish Magistrate's Aching Tooth".
* 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.

** 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." She eventually [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong does realize what she did and tries to fix it,]] [[KarmaHoudini but still gets away with it]].

[[caption-width-right:350: (l-r) Wing-Wing, Lik-Lik and Jet-Jet]]
'''The Alley Cats''' are a group of rather obnoxious bully cats who live in the streets and alley ways of the village. [[DependingOnTheWriter They are sometimes both friends and bullies towards the Miao kittens depending on the episode.]] Seeing as there are many alley cats, there have been a few one-offs and they will be listed in their own section.
* AbsenteeActor: Of the main four, usually one will be absent.
* AlphaBitch: They had done this in a lot of episodes.
* AntiHero: They may be rude, sarcastic, teaseful and arrogant, but there are at times they are helpful. "Explorer's Club" for example.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Lik-Lik
* BadassAdorable: They are rude, but are adorable at other times when they're not jerks.
* TheBully: They had this in many episodes involving them.
* BrattyHalfPint: They may be jerks, but they do NO harm.
* BreakoutCharacter: Like Dongwa, they became some of the most popular characters due to their hilarious moments.
* BrooklynRage: Wing-Wing... even though the show is set in China, circa 1890s.
* 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.
* CatsAreSnarky: They were prone to thia.
* DeadpanSnarker: They tend to snark a lot.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Whenever they show a nice side occasionally (mostly Jet-Jet), or they are jerks in most days,
* {{Deuteragonist}}:
* EveryoneHasStandards: In a couple episodes, they show respect for the Miao kittens. The ending to "The Four Dragons" is an example.
* {{Expies}}: They're pretty much the cat equivalent of [[{{WesternAnimation/Doug}} Roger and his gang]] or [[{{WesternAnimation/Arthur}} the Tough Customers]]. Although Jet Jet is voiced by Lawson from ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}''.
* GangOfBullies
* HeelFaceTurn: In "Explorer's Club", they along with Dongwa preform one when they help the "Explorer's Club" club climb back up to safety resulting both clubs becoming one.
* HiddenDepths: All of them had this, especially Jet-Jet.
* HypocriticalHumor: They do this most of the time. This was PlayedForLaughs.
* {{Jerkass}}es: A lot of the time. Hun-Hun is an aversion, however.
* JerkassRealization: In "Precious Gift", they gasp (along with Sagwa) and realize what they did was wrong when Tai-Tai's necklace has broke to pieces.
-->'''Wing-Wing''': Tough break.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite being jerks in most days, since they at least sometimes care for the Miao trio, there are times where they have the kindness in them, such as the time where they helped with the teamwork in "Explorer's Club".

** They, despite finding the Four Dragons stories babyish at first, also find the story of "The Four Dragons" a really fun story.
* KarmaHoudini: They rarely suffer any consequences.
* LeanAndMean: They are mean and disording, especially to the Miao kittens.
* LocalHangout: Mostly at the alleys by the palace.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In "Precious Gift", they tricked Sheegwa into giving the necklace to them. When Sheegwa gets it back, the necklace breaks to pieces, resulting in the Alley Cats (and Sagwa) gasping when the necklace breaks to pieces, and they feel genuine remorse.
** In "Shei-Hu's Secret", they break into the mouse village, and the mice panic, especially Shei-Hu. Jet-Jet tries to apologize, but to no avail.
* NoNameGiven[=/=]LivingProp: Any background alley cats---and there are quite a lot---aren't given any names.
* OhCrap: They had this when Sheegwa tricked them back in "Precious Gift".
* PetTheDog: Sometimes care for the Miao Kittens (especially Jet-Jet).
* TheAtoner: Jet-Jet proves to be one after he and his friends accidentally trash the home of the mice, as he comes to their aid later when they find themselves in danger.
* ThePrankster: They sometimes do this.
* TheRival: Jet-Jet with Sagwa. Wing-Wing has this with Sheegwa. Lik-Lik has this with Dongwa also.
* TookALevelInKindness: In "Explorer's Club", in the second half, due to a HeelFaceTurn, they turn from badass bullies to kind characters, in where they side with the Miao kittens by making a the teamwork by climbing one after one, and as a result, the two clubs become one club.
* {{Schemer}}: In "Precious Gift", they plan to get Tai-Tai's necklace which Sheegwa is returning to, saying Hun-Hun is having a party with treats.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: As stated, they tend to be both friends and bullies towards the Miao kittens, at least DependingOnTheWriter.
