List of Littlest Pet Shop (2012 TV series) characters

"Littlest Pet Shop" is a Canadian–American children's animated television series developed by Tim Cahill and Julie McNally-Cahill. The series is based on Hasbro's "Littlest Pet Shop" toy line, and features Blythe Baxter (voiced by Ashleigh Ball, with the character based on the doll of the same name) as the main protagonist, as well as other characters who reside in Downtown City (a city modeled after New York City). Along with Blythe is her father, Roger Baxter (voiced by Michael Kopsa), and her employer Mrs. Anna Twombly (voiced by Kathleen Barr) at the nearby pet store, Littlest Pet Shop. Away from home, she maintains several friends at her local high school. As well as the human cast are her seven animal companions, who reside within Littlest Pet Shop during the day, that whom Blythe unexpectedly gains the ability to communicate.
Protagonists.
Blythe Baxter.
Blythe is the main character of the series, an aspiring fashion artist and designer. She is very kind and compassionate and always assists others in need, either the pets or Mrs. Twombly, or her new friends Youngmee, Sue and Jasper, or maybe Whittany and Brittany Biskit. She has dark brown hair and light blue eyes, but she also wears "fashionable and 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. Though she has wanted to be on TV all her life, she is also extremely camera shy.
Blythe 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 may have talked to animals, 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. In the episode "Penny for Your Laughs" it's revealed that he has an abnormal fear of marshmallows. He also has a fear of ghosts. He is considered Blythe's best friend; the show's running gag is that he is often mistaken for a porcupine.
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, but they mostly fail or rarely work when he needs 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, causing him to panic every time he sees bugs, arachnids, and centipedes.
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.
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. Unlike natural skunks in the real world, Pepper's smells change depending on her mood, fragrant when pleasant, foul when terrible. 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" it's revealed she is heavily claustrophobic. She often sits and rocks herself back and forth quietly saying to herself: "space monkey, I'm a space monkey...", when in a small space and unable to escape.
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" it's revealed 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. Being the peacekeeper of the group, her feelings are most sensitive and she is prone to get hurt by others, though when the job comes down to it, Penny Ling can be straightforward, and there are sometimes that she can be grumpy.
Roger Baxter.
Roger is Blythe's fun-loving, slightly clumsy father whose promotion to the rank of Captain in his airline takes them from their quiet hometown to Downtown City where countless adventures await. He has dark brown with some gray hair and blue eyes. Mr. Baxter loves spending time with Blythe, listening to heavy metal, and supporting any of Blythe's talents and endeavors.
Anna Twombly.
Mrs. Twombly is the kind, off-beat owner of the Littlest Pet Shop pet store and day camp for pets. She has silver hair and turquoise eyes. 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: the other 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.
