1	!Scaredy Squirrel
2	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scaredy_happy_6999.jpg]]
3	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TerryMcGurrin
4
5	The series protagonist. A mild-mannered but deeply anxious and obsessively cleanly squirrel who works as a stacker for the Stash N'Hoard supermarket.
6	----
7	* AdaptationSpeciesChange: He was a ''flying'' squirrel in the books, but in the cartoon, he's just a regular squirrel.
8	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Scaredy is generally one of the more affable characters on the show, but he does have limits to how far he can be pushed.
9	* {{Catchphrase}}: Tends to exclaim "Sweet acorns!"
10	* CloudCuckoolander: To some degree. His NeatFreak tendencies can make him a little quirky, but for the most part, he's one of the more well-adjusted characters in the show.
11	* CowardlyLion: Scaredy always worries about something going wrong or the consequences of not doing things by the book, but he'll always pull up his pants and do what is right or necessary in the end, even if he has to break some of his personal rules to do so.
12	* CrazyPrepared: He seems to be able to pull all sorts of convenient items from out of nowhere in order to maintain cleanliness wherever he goes.
13	* CreatureOfHabit: He's a major stickler for routines. For example, he only ever eats a single nutbar on his afternoon break when at work and is turned off by the idea of having more than one or having it any other time of the day.
14	* DitzyGenius: While Scaredy is overall one of the smarter characters, he is easily scared and rather weird.
15	* FatAndSkinny: The Skinny to his best friend Dave's Fat.
16	* NeatFreak: One of his cornerstone characteristics. The idea of coming into contact with anything filthy terrifies him, and he even brings his own cleaning materials with him just to clean public spaces for his own usage.
17	* NiceGuy: Scaredy is a pleasant and approachable person overall.
18	* ObsessivelyOrganized: His defining character trait. He's always trying to be as clean and organized as possible, taking extra precautions for pretty much everything and never breaking from his routines. Heck, his ''job'' is to organize items in an appealing manner!
19	* OnlySaneMan: While Scaredy does have his own eccentricities, he's definitely the least messed-up person in the cast.
20	* OrangeBlueContrast: He's an orange squirrel dressed in a blue shirt, playing off with his best friend being a blue skunk in an orange vest.
21	* SpeciesSurname: Scaredy Squirrel is a squirrel with the last name of Squirrel.
22	* TerrifiedOfGerms: Naturally. He won't touch most things without sanitizing them first.
23	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: He loves nutbars and has one every day.
24
25	!Dave
26	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dave1_3787.jpg]]
27	->'''Voiced by:''' Jonathan Gould
28
29	A skunk and Scaredy's best friend. Compared to Scaredy, Dave is somewhat slow on the uptake and a major slob, but he's also a lot more relaxed in his approach to life.
30	----
31	* AFriendInNeed: Refreshingly averts the {{FairWeatherFriend}} trope by always being there for Scaredy when he needs help, even if he messes things up along the way.
32	* BigFun: He's definitely on the chubbier side but also a very chill and fun-loving character.
33	* CloudCuckoolander: Due to a combination of being not very smart, somewhat immature, and being never breaking a sweat about anything, Dave's mind tends to go into weird places.
34	* TheCloudcuckoolanderWasRight: From time to time, Dave's mellow personality gives him a certain degree of wisdom that Scaredy lacks.
35	* DeadpanSnarker: Every once in a while, he can get pretty snarky, often in regards to Scaredy being more anxious or obsessive than usual.
36	* TheDitz: He's generally not the brightest bulb in the box, but he does have his moments of insight.
37	* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: Has squished a couple smaller characters by accident.
38	* FatAndSkinny: The Fat to Scaredy's Skinny.
39	* FatIdiot: He's rather plump and also rather slowwitted.
40	* FatSlob: As a {{Foil}} to Scaredy's NeatFreak qualities, Dave is very messy and doesn't think much about his personal hygiene.
41	* {{Gasshole}}: Being a SmellySkunk, he's often the source of fart jokes on the show.
42	* HeterosexualLifePartners: There is pretty much nothing he does without Scaredy. He even hangs around the Stash N'Hoard whenever Scaredy is on the job.
43	* {{Manchild}}: Although he's shown to live independently and be able to take care of himself just fine, he's pretty immature and childish overall, not taking anything that seriously and spending time on kiddie rides when Scaredy's at work.
44	* LetsGetDangerous: When Scaredy is in danger of being beaten up by a gang.
45	* MellowFellow: In contrast to the obsessive-compulsive Scaredy, Dave doesn't worry about a lot of things and just enjoys the moment.
46	* OrangeBlueContrast: He's a blue skunk who wears an orange vest, in contrast with his friend Scaredy being an orange squirrel who wears a blue shirt.
47	* SmellySkunk: Has a tendency to spray/fart (the show uses the terms somewhat interchangeably with him) under certain situations, though not as frequently as some might think.
48	* TrueCompanions: Scaredy’s best friend, genuinely supportive and enjoys his company.
49
50	!Richard
51	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/richard_the_plant_1887.jpg]]
52
53	Scaredy's pet plant. He may or may not be sentient, but Scaredy certainly ''believes'' that he is. Some of the things that happen in the show suggest Scaredy might be right.
54	----
55	* AmbiguousSituation: Much like Mr. Buns on another Nelvana cartoon, ''WesternAnimation/RubyGloom'', it's left vague as to whether Richard is simply a plant that Scaredy treats as an actual person or actually a a full self-aware whose actions only occur off-screen.
56	* CompanionCube: He's Scaredy's pet plant, whom Scaredy treats as a fully sapient and intelligent being.
57	* {{Jerkass}}: Some of his actions imply this... assuming he's sentient.
58	* OffScreenTeleportation: Prone to this.
59
60	!Sally Fishlips
61	[[quoteright:325:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/3c23ba8bd8eee66342b74f87fcf68a43.png]]
62	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LindaKash
63
64	A large trout with a huge crush on Scaredy. While Scaredy does not share this sentiment, Sally is extremely protective of him, making her both a helpful friend and a dangerous enemy.
65	----
66	* AbhorrentAdmirer: To Scaredy. Most squirrels probably would not appreciate being lusted after by a fish.
67	* BerserkButton: A word of warning to all girls in Balsa City - Don't ''ever'' talk to Scaredy when she is around!
68	* ClingyJealousGirl: A one-sided example. Sally is extremely protective of Scaredy and will always be the first to help him against his bullies, but at the same time, she will become violently jealous of any girl who shows interest in Scaredy or vice versa.
69	* GenkiGirl: She's a very excitable, if somewhat volatile, individual.
70	* StalkerWithACrush: To Scaredy, complete with the StalkerShrine.
71	* TailfinWalking: As an anthropomorphic trout, she walks on her tail fin.
72	* {{Tsundere}}: She acts very sweet around Scaredy, but can be extremely violent towards pretty much everyone else.
73
74	!Nestor
75	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nestor_1451.jpg]]
76	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PatrickMcKenna
77
78	Scaredy's boss and the manager of the Stash N'Hoard. Nestor is an unpleasant and short-tempered canary who has extremely high standards for his employees.
79	----
80	* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: He may not be the nicest boss, but he dotes on his mother a lot and will do pretty much anything for her, even if she doesn't appreciate his work.
81	* FeatherFingers: In an odd example, his arms are generally drawn as small and stubby wings when he's not using them, but they transform into more regular cartoony arms when he's reaching, gesturing, or grabbing something.
82	* {{Jerkass}}: He's rude, short-tempered, irritable, and extremely hard on his employees. Somehow, Scaredy and the others put up with him.
83	* MeanBoss: He's a very strict and demanding boss who often forces his employees to do unfair things, but at the same time, his strictness has been shown to be effective to a certain degree.
84	* MommasBoy: He eternally lives under the thumb of his nasty old mother.
85	* ToothyBird: He's often drawn with teeth when he smiles or speaks.
86	* TheUnfavorite: His mom prefers his older brother, Lester.
87
88	!Paddy
89	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/paddy_8022.jpg]]
90	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DavidBerni
91
92	An arrogant ferret and Scaredy's childhood rival. Paddy is always try to show Scaredy up whenever he appears, competing with him for the title of best paddleball player in Balsa City.
93	----
94	* {{Jerkass}}: He's a gigantic narcissist who enjoys trying to get one over Scaredy whenever possible for no reason other than the fact he simply can.
95	* JerkJock: Is into sports, and not that nice.
96	* SitcomArchnemesis: To Scaredy. The two primarily feud with each other in the world of paddleball, but he has occasionally shown up in other scenarios to drive Scaredy crazy.
97	* SmallNameBigEgo: He has an ''extremely'' high opinion of himself.
98	* WickedWeasel: Well, technically he's a ferret, but it still counts, given his smug and rude personality.
99
100	!Momma
101	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/momma_2891.jpg]]
102	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JayneEastwood
103
104	Nestor's mother and the owner of the Stash N'Hoard. Somehow, she's even meaner, harsher, and more irritable than her son, who constantly grovels at her feet.
105	----
106	* AbusiveParent: She is extremely controlling of her son and constantly forces him to do unpleasant things for her sake.
107	* BadBoss: Whereas Nestor is merely just a MeanBoss, his Momma is just downright nasty - even towards Nestor himself.
108	* {{Jerkass}}: If you thought Nestor was bad, everything about his mother is worse.
109	* MyBelovedSmother: She has complete control over Nestor's life and pretty much never allows him to do what he wants.
110	* TheNapoleon: Definitely one of the shortest characters on the show and also one of the meanest.
111	* NoIndoorVoice: Much like her own son (who can be just as malevolent as her at times), she usually tends to talk very loud and fast.
112	* NoNameGiven: "Nestor's Mother" is all anyone ever calls her, and in the credits she's just "Momma."
113	* TheOneWhoWearsShoes: She's one of the ''very few'' characters in this show who actually wears shoes.
114
115	!Mildred
116	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mildred0402.png]]
117	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JamieWatson
118
119	One of Scaredy's co-workers at the Stash N'Hoard. Mildred is a large toad with an extremely apathetic approach to her work and a soda addiction that makes her burp a lot.
120	----
121	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass She may seem slow and incompetent on the job, and does nothing but belch soda. But she is in fact [[spoiler: a highly skilled and badass super spy.]]
122	* DeadpanSnarker: She has her moments.
123	--> '''Nestor:''' ''(teasing Scaredy)'' "In fact, there is so much ''chicken'' [in this park], some of it ends up in line for the ''rides!''" ''(laughs to himself)''
124	--> '''Mildred:''' "Like ''you'', Nestor? ''You're'' a chicken."
125	* DullSurprise: She is extremely apathetic towards everything around her and rarely ever reacts to situations with little more than a joyless monotone.
126	* {{Gasshole}}: Due to all the soda she drinks, she belches ''all'' the time.
127	* GoingCommando: Apparently, she, as well as several other shoppers, doesn't wear underwear ''or'' a bra underneath her clothes, as seen in "The Talented Mr. Peacock".
128	* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: A rare female example. It's not all that noticeable normally, as her clothes cover past her legs, but a brief shot in "From Rodent With Love" shows that she doesn't wear pants.
129	* HiddenDepths: In "Lumberjack Day", she's shown to be ''very'' skilled at playing a banjo, and when she's not working at the Stash N' Hoard, she tends to teach spin classes [[spoiler:and save the world from evil otters as a spy.]]
130	* NotSoAboveItAll: In "How To Succeed In Groceries", after Nestor leaves and Scaredy is appointed the temporary boss, getting rid of all rules in the process, Mildred does a brief hula dance, dressed in appropriate clothing.
131	* OverlyLongTongue: [[Main/AnimalStereotypes Being a frog, she naturally has one of these.]] It manages to come in handy in "From Rodent With Love", where she uses it to [[spoiler: take off Scaredy's shirt, which is reflective from the inside-out, to reflect a laser beam off of it in order to save themselves from certain death.]]
132	* TheStoic: Even when [[spoiler:her life is threatened by evil otters]], her voice never shows any emotion beyond her dull monotone.
133	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Is frequently seen drinking soda.
134
135	! Buck
136	[[quoteright:622:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/buck_33.png]]
137
138	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DavidBerni
139
140	A beaver who works at the Stash N'Hoard alongside Scaredy.
141	----
142	* HeterosexualLifePartners: He and and Hatton are almost never seen without each other.
143
144	! Hatton
145	[[quoteright:936:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hatton.png]]
146
147	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DwayneHill
148
149	A donkey and another of Scaredy's co-workers at the Stash N'Hoard.
150	----
151	* ADayInTheLimelight: He's usually a minor character, but the episode "Nobody Loves Hatton" features him quite prominently.
