* '''[[{{Keet}} Milo]]''' - despite his purple skin, it would seem that he was written to be the [[TokenMinority token black kid]] in the group. He is also the daycare's resident "jokester", often making puns and playing tricks on his friends. He loves football, sausages.

* '''[[Keet Milo]]''' - despite his purple skin, it would seem that he was written to be the [[TokenMinority token black kid]] in the group. He is also the daycare's resident "jokester", often making puns and playing tricks on his friends. He loves football, sausages.

* '''[[TheLancer Milo]]''' - despite his purple skin, it would seem that he was written to be the [[TokenMinority token black kid]] in the group. He is also the daycare's resident "jokester", often making puns and playing tricks on his friends.
* '''Fizz''' - the GirlyGirl to Bella's {{tomboy}}, taking an active interest in ''anything'' related to femininity, including the colour [[PinkMeansFeminine pink]]. Her introverted nature provides a contrast to her three loud and outgoing friends, and she is often seen playing by herself or reading a book. It was hinted throughout the series that she had a [[PuppyLove crush]] on Milo. For some reason, whenever she is scared, shocked, angry or upset, her eyes often [[WingdingEyes spin or shake vigorously]].
* '''[[DeliberatelyCuteChild Jake]]''' - at three years old, he's the youngest in the group, and sometimes needs one of the other three to explain to him what they were doing. He has a superhero alter-ego which he uses to explore his fantasies, and expresses a strong interest in "masculine" things such as motor cars and football. However, he also has a tendency to cry a lot, leading to the others having to comfort him every so often. He also sports an interesting-looking hairstyle that resembles a mohawk.

* '''[[TheChick Fizz]]''' - the GirlyGirl to Bella's {{tomboy}}, taking an active interest in ''anything'' related to femininity, including the colour [[PinkMeansFeminine pink]]. Her introverted nature provides a contrast to her three loud and outgoing friends, and she is often seen playing by herself or reading a book. It was hinted throughout the series that she had a [[PuppyLove crush]] on Milo. For some reason, whenever she is scared, shocked, angry or upset, her eyes often [[WingdingEyes spin or shake vigorously]].

* GoodAngelBadAngel: In one episode, Bella drives her friends away by getting angry at them for minor occurrences while she is trying to build a tent behind a curtain. A 'shoulder devil' version of herself appears, but [[FreudianTrio then begins to lecture them]] [[TheReasonYouSuck on why they are not a Tweenie, but rather, a Meanie]], complete with a short musical number.

--> '''All:''' ''Tweenie Clock, where will it stop?''

* PottyEmergency: There was one episode where the gang unwittingly [[ChainedHeat tied themselves to each other]] with this being an unfortunate side effect. Jake also had these on occasion.

** When they were dressed for the Ugly Bug Ball, Judy announced Doodles was dressed as a Beetle, to which Doodles replied [[Music/TheBEatles Hey, Jude]].

* OlderThanTheyLook: The Tweenies are all supposed to be toddlers aged around 3 to 4. However, they all resemble 10 to 12 year olds. They even sound older (granted, they're voiced by adults, but still).

* '''[[AntiHero Bella]]''' - at five years old, she was the oldest in the group and the default leader. However, this also meant she was the one with the biggest sense of entitlement. Bossy and argumentative, she was the series' main source of conflict, though Milo seemed to be her main sparring partner. There were numerous episodes where she learnt a valuable lesson by the end, but this of course [[AesopAmnesia was forgotten]] [[StatusQuoIsGod by the next episode]].
* '''[[TheLancer Milo]]''' - despite his purple skin, it was made clear that he was meant to be the [[TokenMinority token black kid]] in the group. He was also the daycare's resident "jokester", often making puns and playing tricks on his friends.
* '''[[TheChick Fizz]]''' - the GirlyGirl to Bella's {{tomboy}}, taking an active interest in ''anything'' related to femininity, including the colour [[PinkMeansFeminine pink]]. Her introverted and shy nature provided a contrast to her three loud and outgoing friends, and she was often seen playing by herself or reading a book. It was hinted throughout the series that she had a [[PuppyLove crush]] on Milo. For some reason, whenever she was scared, shocked, angry or upset, her eyes would often [[WingdingEyes spin or shake vigorously]].
* '''[[DeliberatelyCuteChild Jake]]''' - at three years old, he was the youngest in the group, and therefore needed one of the other three to explain to him what they were doing. He had a superhero alter-ego which he used to explore his fantasies, and expressed a strong interest in "masculine" things such as motor cars and football. However, he had a tendency to cry a lot, leading to the others having to comfort him every so often. He also sported an interesting-looking hairstyle that resembled a mohawk.
* '''[[CoolOldGuy Max]]''' - the co-owner of the daycare centre and the Tweenies's trusted friend. He would accompany the group whenever they went "outside", and would frequently join in their activities.
* '''[[{{Oireland}} Judy]]''' - the other co-owner of the centre, and a mother figure to the group. Like Max, she would take the group outside the premises every so often.
* '''[[CanineCompanion Doodles]]''' - the centre's resident dog. He had a positive relationship with everyone in the centre, but Jake was especially attached to him.
* '''[[CanineCompanion Izzles]]''' - the centre's other dog, who was Doodles' DistaffCounterpart. She was introduced [[FinalSeasonCasting towards the end of the show's run]].

The centre also had a special "Tweenie Clock" that, when pressed by a character, would dictate which segment would come next in each episode. The segments included:

[[caption-width-right:298:Hey, hey, are you ready to play?]]

* ThemeTuneRollCall: "I'm Bella!" "I'm Milo!" "I'm Fizz!" "And I'm Jake!"

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** In ''Tweenies Live'', Max asks if there are any grandmas in the audience. He then follows up his question with "[[TheCasanova are any of you single?]]". However, he then immediately says that [[JustJokingJustification he was just kidding]].

* VomitDiscretionShot: When Jake vomits in "Jake's Been Sick", we only hear it, but we do see some of the vomit covering Fizz's shoe.
