Characters

Main

Recurring

Fuzzlies

  • Princess Flug (voiced by Michela Luci) is a pink slug-like Fuzzly who is made of glitter goo which can either be sticky or slippery. She can blow bubbles that could carry away anything that gets inside them, or neutralize sticky glitter gloo. She has a cousin named Flugtilda who is orange-colored and bespectacled. She speaks in Broken English and always adds the word "me" to the beginning and end of her sentences.
  • Teeny Terry (voiced by Jacob Soley) is a small round marigold cat-bird-like Fuzzly with winged arms that allow him to fly. He can inflate like a balloon which enables him to fly higher and carry more load.
  • Otis (voiced by Christian Dal Dosso) is a red raspberry-like Fuzzly with three extendable tentacles on his head which can be used for swinging or reaching things several feet away. His tentacles also have holes that open which can stick to objects or pump air to inflatables.
  • Curly (voiced by Sophie Cullingan) is a pink and orange rabbit-like Fuzzly with a spiral tail that can work like a spring, thus allowing her to leap high (and to also hold things as she lacks arms). She often says a word three times.
  • Mo and Bo (voiced by Laaibah Alvi and Leo Orgil, respectively) are twin cat-like Fuzzlies who talk in rhyme, with stretchy torsos that allow them to reach things several feet high, and to slingshot stuff. They also have retractable heads and limbs, the ability to grow multiple extra pairs of legs in the middle, and heads that light up. Mo is a white female while Bo is a black male.
  • Harriet Bouffant (voiced by Hattie Kragten) is a pink ragdoll-like Fuzzly with extendable pink and yellow hair which can be used as extra limbs. When her extended hair gets long enough, it can detach, leaving only a normal size portion on her head.
  • Squeaky Peepers are an octet of small, helium-voiced, rainbow-coloured singing rabbit-like Fuzzlies. Their names are in this order: Big Do (the violet peeper), Re (red), Mi (orange), Fa (yellow with glasses), So (green), La (blue), Ti (indigo), and Little Do (small and pink, sometimes with a blue pacifier in her mouth).
  • Grumbles (voiced by Kaden Stephen) is a large purple meerkat-like Fuzzly who has the power to transform into anything. Abby met him in the wilderness, and thought he was some folklore creature.
  • Mumbles (voiced by Ian Ho) is a small dark blue meerkat-like Fuzzly who is one of Grumbles' younger cousins. There are rules on how to raise him, and doing any rule wrong would cause him to multiply.
  • Flugtilda (voiced by Emma J. Berman) is a orange and honey yellow-skinned slug-like Fuzzly who is one of Princess Flug's cousins. She wears a blue baseball hat with a intialized detail at the middle of that and wears blackish-dark grey cat eye framed glasses.
  • Blossom Band are a quartet of plant-like Fuzzlies who like playing music. Their names are Tulip (voiced by Gracen Daly), Rose (voiced by Molly Lewis), Sweet Pea (voiced by Beatrice Schneider), and Daisy (voiced by Jackson Reid). Tulip, Rose, and Sweet Pea are female, while Daisy is male. Tulip plays a saxophone, Rose plays an electric guitar, Sweet Pea plays maracas, and Daisy plays a keytar.

Humans

  • Chef Jeff (voiced by Paul Sun-Hyung Lee) is the diminutive chef of Abby's hotel. Chef Jeff is also the subject of a running gag where Abby, in her tricycle, passes by the kitchen where he is working on a dish, therefore resulting a comical accident, but he would nonetheless enjoy or find something positive about it. Besides a chef, he is also a tuba player. He has a mother who is a chef too.
  • Miranda Hatcher (voiced by Josette Jorge) is Abby's Chinese mother who works as the hotel gardener.
  • Lex Hatcher (voiced by Terry McGurrin) is Abby's Canadian father who works at the front desk, and fixes things in the hotel when they break.
  • Melvin (voiced by Christian Campbell in North America and Eden Lawrence in the UK) is Mrs. Melvin's four-year-old son who is an animal fanatic. He owns a pet cat named Elvin.
  • Mrs. Melvin (voiced by Kim Roberts) is the hotel salon's hairstylist and Melvin's mother.
  • Mr. Melvin (voiced by Mac Heywood) is Mrs. Melvin's husband and Melvin's father.
  • Judge Thorn (voiced by Catherine Disher) is a local judge of contests and events. Judge Thorn has a slight resemblance to Carol Burnett. She is also a TV personality.
  • Wai Po (voiced by Jane Luk) is Abby's grandmother and Miranda's mother from China. Despite her age, she is quite athletic.
  • Allen and Jeffrey are two men who are seen wandering around outside.

Animals

  • Elvin (voiced by Shayle Simons) is Melvin's pet cat.
  • Sparkles is Princess Flug's pet slug.
  • Portia is Chef Jeff's pet fish.
