## Characters

The redesign of the characters in the animated series, created by designer Bruno Okada and Yuma Kanabuchi. Screenshot of the animated series.

Emília (Emilia)
Emilia is Lucia's anthropomorphic rag doll with chamomile leaves for hair. She was a present from Nastácia, gaining`the ability to talk through one of Doctor Snail's pills specifically for talking, though this pill also subsequently brought her to life.

Known for her nonstop chattering about everything on her mind, she is a very enthusiastic yet naive doll, always learning lessons in most episodes (she is arguably the "main" character of the show, and the mascot) due to her childish tendency to lie. This has died down since Season 1. She is the type to act before thinking with a short temper, and her headstrong sassy nature tends to land her in unfavorable situations that grow worse due to her stubbornness & selfishness. She is quite affectionate, getting jealous when another doll takes the spotlight and enjoying playing with her friends. A running gag is that Emilia frequently mispronounces words with Lucia correcting them, possibly due to her fast nature. Another running gag is her overreactive expressions, such as her "angry walk" and large grins.

A funny thing to note is that while Emilia does not need to eat and cannot even taste flavors due to "being a rag doll", she combines several humanoid and doll properties. She gets cold without her dress, she can be stung by insects with visible bumps forming, & she can faint from terribly awful smells, all the while she is bathed by hand wash, she can curl into a ball and move at high speeds, & she can tie knots in her body with no real repercussions. But in still in Season one, Emilia jumped out of the swing in school and then crashed into Mazuka's Cupcakes, and then she falls in love, before in season 5, if only outfits there in randoms In the Episodes.

Lúcia "Narizinho" (Lucia "Little Nose" because of her turned-up nose)
Nazirinho is an 7 year old girl with a turned-up nose. She is Benta's granddaughter and Pedrinho's cousin. Known for being cute and girly, that does not keep her away from going on adventures with the rest of her family and playing outside. She is a very affectionate and caring person, but she has her short-sighted moments. She has a big sister-little sister relationship with Emilia as she is her owner. In the books, she is an orphan and lives in the farm with Dona Benta, but this is not clarified in the show. In fact, a sub of the show emphasizes Narizinho and Dona Benta's relationship more than Pedrinho and Dona Benta's, putting into question the true relationships of all three.

Pedrinho (Little Pete)
A 9 year old boy, he is Benta's grandson and Lucia's cousin. He is a courageous and active boy who loves adventure and heroism. He is acrobatic and inventive, and he does not steer away from helping others. He normally journeys with the Captain of the Curassiers in adventures of all sorts. In the books, he lives in the big city and he spends his holidays at Mrs. Benta's Farm.

Visconde de Sabugosa (roughly "Viscount of Corncob"; "sabugo" means corncob in Portuguese. "Sabugosa" is a parody of the Count de Sabugosa)
Visconde is a very polite puppet made of corncob with a high IQ & a love for all knowledge, especially science such as biology and zoology. He is very pedantic as he is seen teaching the kids & correcting exaggerated stories and falsities of all sorts, even getting visibly irritated when done enough. He came to life from the "spirit" of a corn cob inhabiting a corncob puppet, and he can be resurrected by this method as well. He may have a crush on Emilia.

He does not spend a lot of time with the kids; he instead prefers to read the books by the bookshelf, and he is usually the one the farm residents approach when they are curious about something. If he is not reading he is either doing research, inventing, or teaching the kids about certain topics.

Dona Benta (Mrs. Benta)
64 years old, she is the Farm's owner and the anointed storyteller at night. She is Pedrinho and Nazirinho's grandmother and "mother" figure. She is a observative & wise woman who is not keen of adventure, and she tends to stay at the farm and do housework. She is not above punishing the kids when they misbehave, though she still cares for them deeply.

Tia Nastácia (Aunt Anastacia)
She is Benta's black housemaid and she is 66 years old. She is a hard worker, very strict, and a routine-based person, calling the kids for eating & errands. She is also renowned for being an excellent cook, adored by everyone. She also has knack for making living dolls, seen with Visconde, Pedrinho's doll, and Angelica's doll.

Rabicó (Short-tail)
A gluttonous, selfish, cowardly and lazy pig. While he is the cast member who tends to get into the deepest trouble and is the butt of many jokes, he is not intrinsically evil and is normally friendly. He loves Nastácia's cooking, and she recognizes this love as well.

Cuca
Cuca is an alligator witch. She is very deceptive and evil, and she usually scares the kids even through the stories they are told. She is so vile that she does not refrain from killing targets & her "legend" extends to other kingdoms, such as the Kingdom of Clear Waters. Even with that she yearns for affection and help when she needs it. She can use magic for a variety of purposes, such as creating spikes from the ground, attacking targets with magic bolts, and even teleporting in the likeness of Dragon Ball's Instant Transmission on at least one occasion.

Príncipe Escamado (roughly "Scaly Prince")
He is the royal ruler of the Kingdom of Clear Waters. Noble and thoughtful, he makes time for his friends and is very generous & considerate of his subjects, though he can be too generous at some points. While he is anointed King by *O Mistério do Reino das Águas Claras*, he is still referred to as Prince afterwards. He seems to have a crush on Narizinho, asking her to be his princess in Season 1 and cheering for her when she tried to be the royal jester. She does not reciprocate this affection however.

Dona Aranha ("Miss Spider")
She is the generous royal seamstress of the Kingdom of Clear Waters who takes great joy in making dresses for her friends, especially Narizinho. When she was a child, she was cursed by a witch that forced her to become a seamstress, broken only when one of her dresses is called "the best in the world". While the 1000 year curse was accidentally broken by Emilia, she chose to continue being a seamstress as she had done it for so long & enjoyed it so much.

Doutor Caramujo ("Doctor Snail")
An old and polite snail doctor who is known in the Kingdom of Clear Waters for being able to cure anything with his several pills such as those for allowing dolls to talk.

Tio Barnabé (Uncle Barnaby)
An kind old black man who knows a lot about folk superstitions. Much like Nastácia he works hard at Mrs. Benta's farm and even contests with her at times, but he is the least seen character of the whole cast; he's only seen after Season 1 in a couple episodes.

Saci-Pererê
A black one-legged trickster elf. He travels via miniature tornado and he is the protector of the forest. His cowl is integral to his character- whoever holds the cowl and commands it also commands Saci. The Saci primarily shown is not a sole Saci- several other Saci exist with the same get-up.

Angelica
The 9 year old granddaughter of one of Dona Benta's friends, she is a girl from the city. In contrast to the adventurous Nazirinho, she is what she considers "grown up": discarding all playing & toys and doing things such as painting her fingernails and sunbathing. Due to this lack of experience & tendency to stay in her lane she is more susceptible to fear (such as of the forest). By the end of her debut she is more open as she receives a "living" doll in her likeness from Nastacia.

Visconde's family (father, grandmother, nephew)
Lua
Lua is a cute polite girl who was found bathing in the river water in her debut *A Namorada do Saci*. It was revealed later she was the moon who took human form. She loves Saci as Saci loves her, though both are heartbroken by the end of the episode Before O vírus do sono

Mazuka
She is A 7 Years old Regdoll Boy Who Goes To School Before Valentine. When Emilia Crashed Her Cupcakes and Emilia Falls in Love, She's A Doll Crush.

Darren J Nutkiss

She is a Young Man Who Does Not Want to Be Bothered. She dislikes Emilia and Lucia But she come to Darren's House. In season 5 in Last episode appearence, She Being Killed by Animatronic Cuca
