Background Information
In the show's world, imaginary friends are as real as humans. Once the creator decides he or she does not want the imaginary friend anymore, they are sent to live at "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends," an adoption home for the unwanted imaginary friends.
In the ninety-minute debut episode, an imaginary friend named Bloo is allowed to live in the house without being available for adoption, as long as his creator Mac visits him every day at 3 o'clock. The show from this point onwards is about their many silly adventures with their new friends, both imaginary and human.
Main Characters
The main characters are:
Mac (voiced by Sean Marquette) - The eight-year-old boy who created Bloo. He is the voice of reason most of the time.
Blooregard "Bloo" Q. Kazoo (voiced by Keith Ferguson) - A blue imaginary friend shaped like a blob. Bloo is his creator's opposite, as he is wild and troublemaking.
Wilt (voiced by Phil LaMarr) - A very tall imaginary friend, with stalk-like eyes and a missing arm. He is gentle and will always help out the others (even if it comes to self-sacrifice).
Eduardo (voiced by Tom Kenny) - An imaginary friend who looks scary and intimidating--but is actually a coward with a big heart. He seems to have a Spanish accent, as he is Latin American. He doesn't like the dark and spiders.
Coco (voiced by Candi Milo) - An imaginary friend who is part bird and all crazy. All she can say is her own name. She consumes objects, then encases them in eggs. She is in love with the floor lamp, doesn't like when she gains weight.
Frances "Frankie" Foster (voiced by Grey Griffin) - A twenty-two-year-old human girl who is Madame Foster's granddaughter, working as the house's maid. She is very kind and friendly, but she has an angry side to her. She likes punk rock and silence, dislikes Orlando Bloo.
Mr. Herriman (voiced by Tom Kane) - A rabbit, who is the president of the adoption home and Madame Foster's imaginary friend. His strict demeanor and many rules make him unpopular with the other residents of the adoption home (especially Bloo and Frankie).
Madame Foster (voiced by Candi Milo) - The old lady who first created the adoption home. She is mostly sweet and playful, but has a hidden malicious side to her.
Recurring Characters
Cheese (voiced by Candi Milo) - A yellow imaginary friend. He likes following Bloo around.
