Protagonists

Blythe Baxter

Blythe is the main character of the series and is an aspiring fashion artist and designer. She is very kind and compassionate and is always ready to assist others in need, whether it be the pets, Mrs. Twombly, her new friends Youngmee, Sue, and Jasper, or maybe Whittany and Brittany Biskit. She has dark brown hair and light blue eyes and is always wearing fashionable, unique outfits. Blythe, along with her father, Roger Baxter, move to an apartment in Downtown City above a pet store called the Littlest Pet Shop. Soon after moving into the building, Blythe hits her head and discovers that she now can be able to talk and understand animals. She comes to enjoy working at the Littlest Pet Shop not long after she saves the store from going out of business. Although she has wanted to be on TV all her life, she is also extremely camera shy. She is also a little closer to Russell, her best friend. Blythe's mother was Lauren Smith (nicknamed "Betty") before adopting the surname Baxter upon marrying Roger, and Lauren's former pet tortoise Speedy Shellberg claims that Betty also could talk to animals,[1] a fact that was confirmed by her father in the series finale. Throughout the series, several jokes were made about the expanse of the size of Blythe's head.

Russell Ferguson

Russell is a male orange European hedgehog with yellow-green eyes. He is the organizer of the group with a love of food. Though uptight, he maintains everyone in the shop, making sure everything's orderly. Though Russell heavily wishes to fit in more with his friends, unfortunately, his love for safety and maintenance and his friendship with six friends often spoils the other pets' enjoyment, which causes them to poke fun at him. A running gag is that he is often mistaken for a porcupine. In the Season 1 episode "Penny for Your Laughs", it is revealed that he has an abnormal fear of marshmallows. He also has a fear of ghosts. He is considered Blythe's best friend.

Sunil Nevla

Sunil is a male blue banded mongoose with golden eyes and an Indian accent. He is very timid and fearful, but when faced with adventure, he will (though reluctantly) gather courage and bravery for his friends. He is a magician, who enjoys performing various magic tricks on his friends at the shop. Most of them fail or rarely work when he needs it to. Despite his timid appearance and personality, Sunil becomes aggressive at the thought of cobras (an allusion to mongooses' natural prey). He is Vinnie's best friend. Sunil is known to have Entomophobia every time he sees a bug.

Vinnie Terrio

Vincent Alfonso "Vinnie" Terrio is a male green gecko with purple eyes. Though slow at times, he is a talented dancer. Unfortunately, he is prone to wreaking havoc for others in the pet shop because of his natural clumsiness. In "Frenemies" he finds out he is a better dancer without his tail. His favorite series is Shake a Leg, a dance competition show. Sunil is his best friend.[2]

Pepper Clark

Pepper Mildred Clark is a female gray and white striped skunk with light pink eyes. A self-proclaimed comedian, she loves making her friends laugh, usually through the use of puns and comical props. At times, however, she can be brash and inconsiderate towards others. Her smells change depending on her mood. She speaks in a thick Boston accent.

Minka Mark

Minka is a female pink spider monkey with light blue eyes, who is an artist. Energetic, flexible, and hyper, she is an expert in abstract art. However, she is constantly distracted by shiny objects, hanging out on the tire swing, or looking for something to eat. In "Dumb Dumbwaiter", she's revealed to be heavily claustrophobic. When in a small space and not able to escape, Minka sits and rocks herself back and forth quietly saying to herself; "Space monkey, I'm a space monkey...".

Zoe Trent

Zoe is a female purple Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with light blue eyes, who is a singer. A born diva, she strives to achieve her goal of being the greatest entertainer, though she can sometimes be quite dramatic and snobbish and leader, and a little rude towards others, she cares for everyone very much and is very willing to go out of her comfort zone to be there for them. Her owners are the couple John (voiced by Peter New) and Clarissa Trent (voiced by Tabitha St. Germain). Zoe is the older sister of Gail Trent. In "Trading Places" Zoe says she has a crush on a dog named Digby and once fell in love with a street mime in Paris named Philippe.

Penny Ling

Penny Ling is a female white and indigo giant panda with grey eyes, who is a rhythmic gymnast with a talent for twirling ribbons.

Roger Baxter

Roger is Blythe's fun-loving, slightly clumsy father whose airline piloting job takes them from their quiet hometown to Downtown City where countless adventures await.

Mrs. Twombly befriends Blythe and helps her to display and sell her first pet fashion collection. She has a love for animals and making them feel at home in Littlest Pet Shop.

A later addition to the group, Buttercream's owner is Youngmee Song's Aunt Christie, who owns the candy shop named Sweet Delights. She is very active and hyper, but also very mischievous. A running gag is that she has a habit of saying overly sweet, hyper, and nonsensical statements (possibly from constant sugar hypes) and whenever she does, one of the pets will say catchphrase "What?" to her. Buttercream calmly responds with another "What?", twirls her ears with a twanging sound, and then relaxes before saying "Anywho." She shows up occasionally throughout the series.
