I think Character Title is a supertrope to Protagonist Title, and mentioning both would be redundant.

The TV channel [=FamilyNet=] used Jot as its mascot until 2014. During this time, they aired Jot episodes as part of their "Families on [=FamilyNet=]" block. However, episodes were edited by the channel to be 2 minutes long instead of of the original 4 minutes.

The show stars Jot, who is nothing more than a white circle with hands and feet. Jot would learn about various Bible teachings in each episode, usually the teachings that indicate what actions are considered a sin. Other usually unnamed characters appear throughout the series as well, and they all look exactly like Jot apart from at least one change, usually hair on their heads.

The TV channel [=FamilyNet=] used Jot as its mascot until 2014. During this time, they aired Jot episodes as part of their "Families on [=FamilyNet=]" block. However, episodes were edited by the channel to be 2 minutes long instead of of the original 4 minutes.
