Poppy Cat - Core Characters

Core Characters

• Lara – the narrator of the series. A female six year-old human girl. Voiced in the UK by Maddie Page and in the US by Gigi Sarroino.

• Poppy Cat – the main protagonist in the series. She is the leader of the group. She is a cheerful female six year-old orange ginger tabby cat who wears a colorful checkered neckerchief and goes on adventures with her friends. She's an adventurer, a dreamer, and a devoted friend. Poppy Cat's heroic gusto and unquenchable curiosity propel each adventure for her and her friends, often leading to unexpected experiences and discoveries. She is highly conscious of those around her and will go to the ends of the Earth to solve a problem. Poppy Cat loves adventure, but her top priority is always her friends, which is why she is the unspoken leader of her little gang. She's the glue that holds them all together. Voiced in the UK by Joanna Page and in the US by Alicyn Packard.

• Zuzu – a speedy male six year-old black and white dog, probably a Dalmatian, who loves doing tricks on his skateboard. He's a kinetic ball of pure energy. If it has wheels, Zuzu will fall off it; if it floats, he'll sink with it. Even though his falls, tumbles and spills are extreme and dramatic, Zuzu always laughs them off. To him, falling is every bit as thrilling as the ride. It's that same spirit that makes him a great friend to have on an adventure…not to mention a liability. Zuzu is an adrenaline junkie who is competitive, loud, and practically fearless. He's impulsive and cool, quick to laugh at a joke, impatient when it comes to manners and protocol, and a good sport most of the time. Voiced in the UK by Joanna Ruiz and in the US by Danny Katiana.

• Alma – a sweet female six year-old pink and white European rabbit with a Southern-British accent in the UK and a Southern-American accent in the US. She's a charming, melodramatic, and excitable rabbit. She often arrives at Poppy's breathless and worked up about a situation, though in the face of danger, she can be quite blithe, to Mo's chagrin. Alma, who fancies herself quite a singer, often coaxes her best buddy Mo to sing a duet. Mo has an unspoken little crush on Alma and worries about her a bit. The chatty rabbit is a loyal, affectionate friend who loves jewelry, the color pink, and picnics. She treasures a special seashell that Mo gave her to hear the ocean. She has a cousin named Chester. Voiced in the UK by Nicole Hornet and in the US by Stephanie Darcy.

• Mo – a feisty male five and a half year-old yellow mouse who loves singing. This fastidious mouse is an overly cautious, tightly wound ball of nervous energy. If it weren't for Poppy Cat, who can inspire and instill confidence in anyone, Mo would never leave the safety of Poppy's backyard. Every day, Mo is invariably squashed, stretched, or squeezed by a speeding Zuzu, completely by accident. The little mouse looks up to Zuzu like a big brother and envies his bravery. Mo has many collections, which include special keys, shells, or photos. He loves cheese, trinkets, and getting safely to the ground once airborne. Mo is very proud of his museum on the Moon. He's the youngest of the group. Voiced in the UK by Charlie Cameron and in the US by Katie Leigh.

• Owl – a lazy male adult brown Eurasian eagle owl who wears a blue and purple wool hat. He considers himself an expert on almost everything, knowledge that he has gleaned from books or his travels. Though he has traveled far from his comfortable house, Owl's directions are usually comically convoluted. Owl may complain about Zuzu's inadvertent path of destruction, but he has a soft spot for each of his friends. He's especially supportive of the timid Mo, and like everyone, has great respect for Poppy Cat. Owl likes the finer things in life: a soft coconut-leaf nest, a cup of hot chocolate, and a quick nap whenever he can catch one. It's no secret that he likes to perform. He is the oldest of the group. Voiced in the UK by Chris Neill and in the US by Donald King.

• Egbert – an arrogant, stout, and adenoial male six year-old badger with a British accent in both the UK and US. He is desperate to be part of the group, although only by his rules. But rather than accept their invitation to play, Egbert always has 'top secret stuff' to go to on his way... but he always meets the group again, in their adventure. There, he will insert himself into their journey, costumed as a ridiculous antagonist of his own invention. Depending upon their location, Egbert may fancy himself to be a pirate, troll, or sea monster. His nerdy, eccentric energy elicits groans from everyone but Poppy. Egbert pretends to not know 'this Egbert', and always stays in character. He wears lots of disguises and is often the antagonist of the stories. Voiced in the UK and US by Cake Charles.

• Gilda – an arrogant female pigeon with a British accent in both the UK and the US. Voiced in the UK and US by Teresa Gallagher.

• Rocket Cat - Poppy Cat's favorite superhero. He appears in numerous episodes which Poppy Cat and her friends are out in space.
