10Tenderheart Bear is the eldest and wisest of the Care Bears. Whether it's advice or understanding, a hug or a nudge, he knows just what kids need to help them share their feelings. His belly badge is perfect for the job: a red heart. The de facto leader of the Care Bears, he was granted the power of teleportation by the Great Giving Bear during the Great Giving Festival. He is Wonderheart Bear's uncle.
11----
12* TeamDad: He was already a leader in past incarnations, but because neither True heart bear nor Noble heart Horse appear in this series, Tenderheart is the one who plays this role for the other bears, and above all being a father figure to his niece Wonderheart.
13* VerbalTic: He often begins sentences with "I have/had a feeling."

21Cheer Bear is the happiest bear in Care-a-Lot. The resident cheerleader, she often displays a go-for-it attitude, makes up encouraging cheers right on the spot, and spreads joy among all who know her. When not helping her friends, she can often be found tending her garden. Her belly badge is a rainbow. She was once a member of the team, Bear Power.

38To Funshine Bear, having fun is his number one thing. He is active, athletic and competitive when it comes to sports, cycling, skating, surfing, hiking and hang gliding. Nothing makes him happier than hanging out with friends or going on wild adventures. He makes the brightest of his days with sunny optimism and a flair for being fearless. His belly badge reflects this spirit: a smiling, shining sun. He was a member of the team, Bear Power, and also won the Care Bearathon once.

52
53Grumpy Bear's sardonic and often sarcastic attitude usually gives way to his caring nature and heart, not unlike the rain cloud and heart shaped raindrops that make up his belly badge. Grumpy likes to remind kids who are having a bad day that they're always loved, and that it's okay and valid to experience negative feelings such as sadness and anger, as they're simply a normal part of life. He is a master builder and mechanic. He was once a member of the team, Bear Power, is a sports fan who enjoys watching the Honey Bowl, and is a big eater.
54----
55* AllGuysWantCheerleaders: Possibly by Cheer Bear, which is often shown as such, although this does not seem to be much to his liking either.
56* BigEater: Is always seen talking about wanting to eat something. His sweetest dreams involve a cabinet that produces ''never-ending food''.
57** In "When the Bear's Away...", when muffins are passed out, he somehow ends up with two. He also fantasizes about attending a cheese convention and throwing a party with lots of snacks. In the next episode, he mentions his schedule for a day as involving eating and napping.
58* GleefulAndGrumpyPairing: With Cheer, as expected. Not for nothing they names are Cheer Bear and Grumpy Bear respectively.
59* OppositesAttract: He has a considerable amount of ShipTease with Cheer, who is the opposite of him in every way.
60* PersonalRaincloud: He can use his belly badge to generate one and often does.
61* ShipTease: He has moments of this with Cheer.
62* SupremeChef: Totally careless when it comes to baking but their desserts are surprisingly delicious, so much so that they even surpass those of Share.
63* TookALevelInJerkass: Notably much more abrasive in ''WesternAnimation/CareBearsAndCousins''.
64* UptightLovesWild: He's TheSmartGuy grump, who has many ShipTease moments with the cheerleader and GenkiGirl Cheer Bear.

72Harmony Bear sings, acts, and plays every instrument. Behind her sassy, sometimes diva-like exterior is a natural leader who is all about encouraging others to do their best, especially through music. Her belly badge has the power to magically fix broken instruments and can also alert her of someone in trouble from a distance. She was once a member of the team Bear Power.
73----
74* AttentionWhore: Has her moments.
75* EmbodimentOfVice: When affected by Grumpy's cloud in "Welcome to Grump-A-Lot", she becomes an angry and narcissistic diva.
76* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: The most feminine and vain bear of the group whose fur color is purple.
77* IdolSinger: She is represented as the bear with the best voice in Care-a-Lot and often organizes acts and music videos.
78* LovableAlphaBitch: Has many nuances of this. She is very vain and proud of her excellent singing voice, with some tendencies to be bossy and perfectionist but otherwise is still a kind bear who is very willing to help children, even those who are more troublesome.

87If Share has it, she'll share it with anyone. Carefree and loving, Share Bear is happiest whenever she's with her friends, serving tea or baking. She has a penchant for baking treats. She lives in a tree house in the Forest of Feelings.
88----

94* ItsAllAboutMe: Once again, an ironically notable trait of hers.
95* PlatonicLifePartners: She has a pretty close relationship with Funshine.
96* SpeaksFluentAnimal: With a specialization in birds. Apparently it's a belly badge power.
97* SupremeChef: She is very good at baking and making desserts, which is why she can't believe that someone as inexperienced in this hamburger as Grumpy can cook better than her.

105Although the one of the youngest Care Bears, Wonderheart always want to take part in "big bear" adventures. She's playfully curious and never short on questions. Her belly badge features a heart within hearts motif, though it is currently rendered inactive and she doesn't initially know its full power. She is often seen carrying a stuffed bunny named Floppy Bunny and is sometimes referred to by the nickname "Little Wonder." She's the niece of Tenderheart Bear.
106----
107* CharacterCatchphrase: "I wonder..."
108* CheerfulChild: Has quite an upbeat attitude.
109* CompanionCube: A stuffed bunny named Floppy Bunny.
110* ConstantlyCurious: She asks a lot of questions, usually about Belly Badges.
111* ContrastingReplacementCharacter: She's not exactly a "replacement", but Wonderheart is in stark contrast to Shreeky, No Heart's niece on The Care Bears Family. While Shreely was the niece of the show's BigBad, and a spoiled, self-centered, and abusive brat with Beastly, Wonderheart is the niece of TheLeader of the Care Bears, portrayed as a sweet, innocent and lovable child, who constantly shows her affection for other bears and her stuffed bunny Floppy Bunny.
112* CuddleBug: Tends to declare "Care Hug!" and then give one. One of the most popular toys associated with the ''Welcome to Care-a-Lot'' series is a plush version of her that dances and sings a snippet of the song "Care Hugs," the full version of which is available on [=YouTube=].
113* EmbodimentOfVice: When affected by Grumpy's cloud in "Welcome to Grump-A-Lot", she becomes not-so-cheerful and bitter.
114* IWantSong: Her song ''Can't Wait To Be The One'' talks about how she wants to get early the powers of her belly badge.
115* KidAppealCharacter: She exists mostly to appeal to younger people.
116* LittleMissSnarker: Can be at times. After losing "Mossy Bunny" in "In a Flash," she comments "He didn't have much of a personality anyway."
117* MoralityPet: Grumpy seems to have a weak point with her.
118* {{Nephewism}}: No parents are ever even mentioned.
119* NotNowKiddo: Gets this from time to time.
120* SeriesGoal: Get her belly badge to work like the others and discover its power in return.
121* TagalongKid: Although she's older than Baby Hugs and Tugs, she still hasn't discovered what her belly badge power holds.
122* VerbalTic: Often begins sentences with "I wonder..."

131King Beastly is a mischievous and arrogant beast who wears a crown and likes to cause trouble in Care-a-Lot. He originates from the 80's cartoon. For that version, see [[Characters/CareBears1980s here]].
132----
133* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Downplayed, he is less evil and more mischievous and shows his soft side more often.
134* AdaptationDyeJob: He is green instead of brown.
135* AntiHero: It depends on the episode.
136* ArtShift: Looks quite a bit different than he did in the 80's series. He loses the flying cap and looks a bit more like the Cheshire Cat, except green.
137* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: A massive version appears in "Bearied Treasure".
138* ExpressiveEars: Carries over from the 80's series.
139* HarmlessVillain: He only does the things he did because he felt left out of the bears' activities.
140* ItsAllAboutMe: His main shtick and the main reason why he's an antagonist. He absolutely can't stand not being the center of attention and will act mean or try to ruin stuff if he feels he's not being adored and loved by everyone, or at least being paid attention to.
141* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Has his genuine nice moments.
142* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: Played with. In "Show of Shyness," he just wants to be in the big show, but his attempts to enliven it are misinterpreted as attempts to wreck it and he is also blamed for something that isn't his fault.
