Humans
Kate/Flo
The main human protagonist of the series, Kate is a school-aged girl who recently moved to the Big City from an unknown city. She is the owner of faithful dog companion Magic.
Voiced by: Debora Magnaghi (IT), Katie McGovern (Original EN), Stephanie Sheh (US), Julie-Ann Dean (UK), Claire Tefnin (FR), Justyna Bojczuk (PL), Nádorfi Krisztina (HU)
- Action Survivor: Kate managed to survive the many dangers of Pocketville's outskirts yet she isn't too skilled.
- Badass Pacifist: Somewhat subverted, as Kate never mentions anything about using violence against Eva and her goons. Though Kate is never seen using violence against anyone or doing anything violent for that matter. Usually the Royal Guards are more likely to get in a fistfight (or "paw-fight") with Eva's lackeys while Kate, Magic, and Eva stay in the background.
- Character Development: Kate starts off as a homesick girl who just moved to the Big City, missing both her old home and her mother (who had to be away because of her job). She became even more homesick and misses both her parents in the second episode. Eventually she matures and becomes more courageous and selfless as she ventures through Pocketville.
- Dub Name Change: Her original Italian name is Flo, but was changed to Kate in the English dub possibly due to localization.
- Girlish Pigtails: Wears pigtails whenever she's in her school uniform but drops them for her standard "hair-down" look whenever she's wearing her everyday outfits.
- The Heroine:
- Limited Wardrobe: She only has five different sets of outfits: her school uniform, her everyday outfits, and her nightwear. All of them except for the uniform has a recurring pink-and-yellow scheme.
- Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My!: She's the only human among the Pocketville denizens (who are civilized animals).
- Muggles: Of course, originally being just a normal girl living in a city and oblivious to the fact that magic exists, eventually steps foot into Pocketville, a Magical Land. That is, until she eventually learns how to use the Friendship Heart.
- Naïve Everygirl: Kate was just a normal girl who recently moved to the Big City and is just trying to cope with her mother being away for the time being, when she is beamed to Pocketville in Ava's place and ends up being the heroine of the magical land.
- Only the Pure of Heart: This explains why Kate happened to end up in Pocketville.
- Plucky Girl: In Pocketville, she has shown her courage and optimisim when facing Eva and her gang.
- Summon Everyman Hero: She wasn't summoned to Pocketville on purpose, but because something went wrong in Magic's Friendship Ceremony (where Magic was going to be sent to her), and she ended up taking Ava's place. She eventually became the heroine of the city, standing up against Eva and her lackeys and helping to claim the other piece of the Friendship Heart.
- Team Mom: She acts as a substitution to Ava, earning her this trope.
- Token Human: She's the only human protagonist and the only human to step foot in Pocketville.
- Vague Age: Some sources state that Kate is 10, while others say that she is 11.
- Youthful Freckles: Part of her character design.
Kate's parents
Peter and Maria
Peter (left) and Maria (right) with their daughter Kate (center)
Kate's mother and father. Maria is often absent due to her work located far away, and only appears in four episodes, leaving her husband Peter to take care of Kate while she's away.
Voiced by (respectively): Unknown and Reba West (EN), Láng Balázs and Gerbert Judit (HU)
- Adults Are Useless: They barely drive the plot nor they have any importance in Pocketville.
- Limited Wardrobe: They are almost never seen wearing anything else except their default outfits.
- Toyless Toyline Character: Neither parents have a doll made of them.
The Pet Buster
A crazy old man who runs an abusive pet shelter. He made an alliance with Eva to send him as many Pocketville denizens as he wants. He eventually gets arrested after breaking into Kate's house but is then bailed out in the final episode.
Voiced by: Melis Gábor (HU)
- Ax-Crazy: Just look at his intents and you won't be surprised.
- Bad People Abuse Animals: The Pet Buster neglects all his strays that he captures, including Ava.
- Evil Brit: Speaks with a mean Cockney accent.
- Evil Old Folks: He may be looking like a regular old man but he has some malicious intents and plans on helping Eva wreak havoc on Pocketville.
- Knight of Cerebus: Although Eva is an already vile villain, he is considered this since he is a new, bigger threat to Pocketville. He even betrayed Eva in the final episode.
- Limited Wardrobe: Only wears that specific outfit in every episode he appears in.
- Loners Are Freaks: He is very anti-social and almost never gets in contact with anyone, and he also happens to be a creepy and devious old man.
- Obviously Evil: Take a look at his ragged appearance and the way he keeps his shelter. He’s obviously a bad guy.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: He doesn't have an actual name that's confirmed; he's only known as the Pet Buster, even by Kate. Guess he's very private too.
- Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: He gets rich from all those auctions he sells his pets at yet he's incredibly careless, and he often breaks the law. Not to mention that the implication on why he got bailed out is because of his wealth.
- Senior Creep: He's an old man whom pets are absolutely afraid of.
- Toyless Toyline Character: Of course, being a grouchy and gritty old man character, kids wouldn't want to get a doll of him.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: He gets bailed out in the next-to-last episode but we never learn why. It could be because of all the money he earned from auctions but it was never confirmed.

- The Ditz: He's the most absent-minded of the Guards.

Zull and Gort

Gort
Zull and Gort are an unintelligent Rottweiler and pit bull (respectively) duo who are Eva's two underlings. They are both unintelligent and often get into a lot of mishaps.
Voiced by (respectively): Giorgio Bonin and Claudio Moneta (IT), Richard Epcar and Aaron Albertus (EN), Krzysztof Szczerbiński and Janusz Wituch (PL), Schneider Zoltán and Sótonyi Gábor (HU)

- Evil Brit: Both speak with English accents in the UK dub.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: Both of them usually stick together, though they often get into quarrels with each other. They obviously aren't into each other due to LGBTQ+ references in kids media being very questionable at the time this show was made, so in "Good Manners (Part 2)", they are both infatuated by a female Rottweiler and pit bull.
- Plucky Comic Relief: They often bring comedy to the table with their foolish antics while they go through with whatever scheme their boss Eva is cooking up.
- Spikes of Villainy: Wear spiked collars.
- Vile Villain, Laughable Lackey: Eva is a devious Siamese cat who is always scheming to take her sister's Friendship Heart, while Zull and Gort, her lackeys, are a pair of dogs from stereotypical tough breeds, but they often mess up or end up being goofy.
Dot
A Dalmatian who is the first known Chosen Pet of the show. She/he was sent to a girl named Caroline.
- Advertised Extra: She was featured in a lot of merchandise and artwork yet she has an extremely minor role, let alone disappear after the first episode.
- Ambiguous Gender: It really depends on what dub you're watching, but with the lack of masculine or feminine features (Dot has eyelashes, though a large portion of male characters in this show have them), it's pretty much unknown what Dot's official gender is. Dot's a pretty feminine name, however.
- Meaningful Name: Her name is Dot (another word for "spot" or "mark") and she's covered in spots; the primary characteristic of a Dalmatian.
- No Name Given: She isn't referred to by her name in the show, only by her breed. Her name is only used in merchandise.
- She's a Man in Japan: In the original English dub and select other dubs, Dot is male. In the official US and UK dubs as well as select other ones, Dot is female.
Pia
A beagle who was one of the many pets who signed up to become a Royal Guard. She wins all three trials, but instead of getting the job as a Guard, she is sent to Makayla, a girl who has trouble avoiding any tricks other kids play on her.
Voiced by: Julie-Ann Dean (US/UK)
- She's a Man in Japan: In the original English dub and other dubs, Pia speaks with a masculine voice with sort of a Californian accent. In other dubs including the official US and UK ones, Pia speaks with a female British voice.

Koty eventually offers to join them as Sketch's replacement.
- Rule of Three: Is a group of three acrobats.

- Damsel in Distress: Throughout the plot, Ava is lost in the Big City, eventually captured by the Pet Buster. And she happens to be a princess.
- Dub Name Change: Her original name was Ami, which translated to "friend" in French. In the English dub her name was changed to Ava because of localization.
- Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Is the responsible sibling.
- Friend to All Children

Voiced by: Tania De Domenico (IT), Haviland Stillwell (US?), Anna Gajewska (PL), Orosz Helga (HU)
- Action Girl: Since she is female and a Royal Guard, yep, she's one of them.
- Aloof Ally: She comes across as this on occasion.
- The Chick: She shares this role with Mela since they're both the female members of the Royal Guard.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: She seems to be a bit cold at first, being slightly suspicious about Kate, but she later warms up to her as she gets to know her.
- Girly Girl And Tomboy: Is the tomboy to Mela's girly girl.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Mela.
- The Lancer: Balloon seems to be this to William.
- Meaningful Name: It's completely ambiguous on why Balloon is named that, but it could be because of her roundish features and occasional airiness.

Eva/Ima

Voiced by: Marcella Silvestri (IT), Rebecca Forstadt (Original EN), Katherine Wilson (US/UK), France Bastoen (FR), Barbara Kałużuna (PL), Erdős Borcsa (HU)
- 0% Approval Rating: Nobody likes Eva, though her own sister still has some love for her. Eva's personality happens to be so one-dimesnional that she even dislikes everyone back, including her own lackeys.
- 100% Adoration Rating: However, many of the series' fans happens to have her as a favorite.
- Ax-Crazy: Eva's pretty insane as the antagonist. She sometimes acts feral, she hates her allies, and would absolutely go crazy whenever the Friendship Heart's half she has gets touched by somebody else.
- Bad Boss: Eva is so vile to her lackeys that she has even threatened to hurt them if they don't stop with their nonsense.
- Berserk Button:
- Never grab her half of the Friendship Heart. Even if you're an ally.
- Cat Stereotype: The Siamese stereotype is played straight with her.

- Fate Worse than Death: Eva ends up as the Pet Buster's new prisoner after she and Ava switched places in the final episode.
- Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Is the foolish sibling.
- For the Evulz: Due to the characters' vague backstories and possibly some lazy writing, Eva's schemes were all just for evil's sake. However, some have speculated that she just wants attention just as much as her monarch sister.
- Goth: Just look at her. She has dark grey colorpoint markings and wears a collar adorned with spikes.
- It's All About Me: She cares about nobody but herself.
- Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Eva tries to prove to Ava that she was never moral, and that she's not just jealous. It is unclear who is correct.
- Large Ham: Eva's pretty exaggerated for a villain.
- The Leader: She is the leader of her gang.
-
Love to Hate - Magnificent Bastard
- Meaningful Name: Her localized English name, though a female given name, is similar to the word "evil". Also, her original name Ima is backwards for Ami (meaning "friend"), and since anything reversed is usually thought of as the "opposite", this could mean that she represents enemies and broken friendships.
- Obviously Evil: Tsurime Eyes, check. Spikes of Villainy, check. Raspy British accent, check. Occasional Evil Laugh, check. Living in a sketchy swamp, check.
- Only Sane Woman: She thinks she is this whenever all her lackeys, including Krakia, are doing something stupid or just fighting with each other.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Is the Red Oni to her sister Ava's Blue Oni.

- Ugly Cute: Eva's facial expressions give off this look to some.
- Verbal Tic: Eva would make animalistic noises such as meowing or canine growling when she speaks.
- Villainous Breakdown: When the protagonists succeed in keeping their half safe, Eva literally goes crazy with greed.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: She would go as far as attempting to drown Sketch just to get her paws on the other piece of the Friendship Heart.

Ribbon/Pio
A young chick who is the Chosen Pet for another of Kate's classmates, Lillia. She teaches her that sharing with her classmate is a very kind act.
Voiced by: Unknown
- Ambiguous Gender: Due to her being identical to other chicks in the gift shop and the lack of Tertiary Sexual Characteristics such as eyelashes, it is initially confusing over what gender Ribbon is. Even the other characters didn't refer to Ribbon by any pronouns. However, due to her high-pitched voice, Ribbon is indeed a female character.
- Dub Name Change: In the original English dub, her name was Pio.

Steel Wool
Looks female, but is actually male.
A lamb who trains animals to become Royal Guards.
Voiced by: Unknown
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Nobody knows whether or not Steel Wool is an alias that he takes or his actual name. The former seems more likely.
- Toyless Toyline Character: This is pretty much a trend in the more minor characters of this show. Though Steel Wool would probably make a good figurine.
- Viewer Gender Confusion: Due to the lack of curled horns (which are the key characteristic of a ram), many people have thought that Steel Wool looks like an ewe (a female sheep).
