Maya The Bee - Main Characters

Main Characters

• Maya (or Maja) - Bee
• Willy (or Willi) - Drone bee. Lazy, clumsy, and cowardly, sometimes jealous, but generally good-natured - not featured in the original Bonsels story, but a major character in all spin-off media. His relationship to Maya is depicted inconsistently: in most adaptations, he's her best friend, who is in love with her; in others, he's something of a de facto dependent; and in several episodes of the English adaptation, he's mentioned as her brother.
• Flip (or Philip) - Grasshopper. A wise friend of Maya and Willi.
• Alexander - mouse. Intellectual, whose level of respect among the other creatures, and close friendship with Maya, often sends Willy into jealous rages.
• Kurt - Dungbeetle who likes to be a "rose-beetle." His name is inconsistent in the English adaptation, as he's often referred to by the name Beasley in some episodes, and Kurt in others.
• Puck - Fly, who often educates the other insects about human lifestyles and behaviors.
• Kassandra - Bee, Teacher at the Bee-School
• Thekla - spider and occasional villain. Referred to as Gremilda in some episodes of the English adaptation, and Grimelda in others.
