List of Bluey characters

Bluey is an Australian animated preschool television series which premiered on ABC Kids on 1 October 2018. The program was created by Joe Brumm and is produced by Queensland-based company Ludo Studio. The show follows Bluey, an anthropomorphic six-year-old (later seven-year-old) Blue Heeler puppy who is characterised by her abundance of energy, imagination and curiosity about the world. The young dog lives with her father, Bandit; mother, Chilli; and younger sister, Bingo, who regularly joins Bluey on adventures as the pair embark on imaginative play together. Other characters featured each represent a different dog breed. The child characters of Bluey are voiced by children of the program's production crew and, for privacy reasons, are not credited as voice actors.

Bluey Heeler
Bluey Christine Heeler is a Blue Heeler puppy. A six-year-old girl who would later on turn seven, Bluey has a sprawling imagination and is curious, nice, and energetic. She loves to have fun with her friends and family, enjoys roleplaying numerous roles, and loves to pretend that she is a grown-up. Bluey has many peers, most of whom are from her class, but she has also befriended other kids her age; one such example is a Labrador named Jean-Luc, who becomes one of Bluey's friends. Her friends include Chloe, Indy, Coco, Rusty and Mackenzie, and she has a big buddy named Mia. One of her more well-known personalities is that of a grandmother named Janet, who is depicted as a kind granny. Bluey is depicted as a baby in "Baby Race", a teenager in "Camping", and as an adult in "Surprise!". In the latter, Bluey, whose adult voice is provided by Geraldine Hakewill, is the mother of an unnamed child.

Bingo Heeler
Bingo Heeler is a Red Heeler puppy and the younger sister of Bluey. Bingo, who is four-years-old (later turning five ), is energetic, curious and playful, much like her sister, but is rather sensitive. Her favourite toy is a stuffed rabbit named Floppy. Bingo is depicted as a kindergarten student, and has made numerous friends there including a Maltese dog named Lila, who she deems her best friend. Bingo shows an interest in bugs, taking breaks from the games she plays to observe them. One of her more well-known personalities is that of a grandmother named Rita, who is depicted as a mischievous granny who is hard of hearing.

Bandit Heeler
Bandit Heeler is a Blue Heeler, the husband of Chilli, and the father of Bluey and Bingo, whom he enjoys playing with. He takes any role he plays in a game they devise seriously despite often being seen as reluctant and unwilling to partake in their games. He often teaches life lessons to his daughters while he plays with them, but this strains his public relationship with them in some episodes. He is voiced by David McCormack.

Chilli Heeler
Chilli Heeler (née Cattle) is a Red Heeler, the mother of Bluey and Bingo, and the wife of Bandit. While she fully partakes in her daughters' games, Chilli is much more level-headed and acts as a balance to the chaos. However, she can join in with the chaos when she sees fit. When not playing games, Chilli is depicted as a caring and comforting mother who wants the best for her daughters. While raising Bluey, Chilli, seeing Wendy's daughter Judo being the first to get sit up by herself, initially set herself the goal to get Bluey to walk before Judo could, but she failed, causing her to believe that she was a bad mother. However, she was told by Coco's mum, Bella, that she was doing good nonetheless. Ultimately, Bluey learned to walk when trying to hug Chilli. It is implied that Chilli has suffered a miscarriage in her past, and that her mum had died before the events of the series. She is voiced by Melanie Zanetti.

Muffin Heeler
Muffin Cupcake Heeler is a White Heeler who is Stripe and Trixie's daughter, Socks' older sister and one of Bluey and Bingo's cousins. Muffin, who is three-years-old (later four ), is a very energetic and loud child who can sometimes be selfish and bratty, but has a good heart deep down. She is known to have a protracted phonological development where she struggles to pronounce the "L" and "R" sounds (e.g. "It was a vewociwaptor" ).

Socks Heeler
Socks Heeler is a Blue Heeler who is Stripe and Trixie's daughter, Muffin's younger sister and one of Bluey and Bingo's cousins. She is the youngest child in the Heeler family, being only one year old. In earlier episodes, she barks and walks on all fours, much like a real-world puppy would, but later learns to walk and talk like the rest of her family. Later, she begins to utter full sentences.

Stripe Heeler
Stripe Heeler is a Blue Heeler who is the husband of Trixie, father of Muffin and Socks, one of Bluey and Bingo's uncles and is Bandit and Radley's younger brother. Stripe is rather gentle, but is inexperienced when it comes to parenting. He shares a friendly sibling rivalry with his brother, Bandit. He is voiced by Dan Brumm, who also works on sound production for the series.

Trixie Heeler
Trixie Heeler is a White Heeler who is the wife of Stripe, mother of Muffin and Socks, and one of Bluey and Bingo's aunts. Trixie is caring, energetic and level-headed, particularly when it comes to parenting, and she loves spending time with her family. However, she can have arguments with Stripe about certain parenting decisions, but she can always find a middle ground. She is voiced by Myf Warhurst.

Radley Heeler
Radley Heeler is a Red/Blue Heeler mix who is the uncle of Bluey, Bingo, Muffin and Socks and is the older brother of Bandit and Stripe. Radley looks out for his family and is laid-back, but has an occasional tendency to zone out; such an instance of this is him mistakenly calling Bluey a boy because of her blue colouring. He worked on an oil rig in the west of Australia and because of this, he was not able to visit his family often as he would have liked to. Radley later developed a relationship with Bluey's godmother, Frisky, who he eventually married. After learning that Frisky did not want to move west with him after their wedding, Radley decided to quit his job, moving to the city and getting a job there in order to remain close to his family. He is voiced by Patrick Brammall.

Frisky Heeler
Frisky Heeler is an English Cocker Spaniel who is Bluey's godmother, as well as Radley's wife and thus aunt to the Heeler cousins. She is one of Chilli's friends, and the two would frequent Mount Coot-Tha as teenagers. Prior to meeting Radley, she had a boyfriend named Bosco. Frisky would meet Radley while babysitting Bluey and Bingo, developing a relationship and getting married in Bandit and Chilli's backyard soon after. She is voiced by Claudia O'Doherty.

Chris Heeler
Nana Chris Heeler is a Blue Heeler. She is Bob's wife, Bandit, Stripe and Radley's mother, and Bluey, Bingo, Muffin and Socks' paternal grandmother. When her granddaughters visit her house at the Gold Coast, she allows them to get what they want. In "Grannies", she and her husband Bob learn how to floss. In "Fairytale", she is depicted as a kind-hearted yet strict and harsh mother to Bandit, Stripe and Radley. Bandit says that the reason for her harshness was because mums "were allowed to be mean" in the 80's. She is voiced by Chris Brumm, who was the inspiration for the character.

Bob Heeler
Grandpa Bob Heeler is a White Heeler. He is Chris's husband, Bandit, Stripe and Radley's father, and Bluey, Bingo, Muffin and Socks' paternal grandfather. In the episode "Grannies" he learned to floss alongside his wife. Sometime after this, Bob traveled to India to "find himself," resulting in a long absence that went unexplained until "The Sign", where it was then revealed. He is voiced by Ian McFadyen in "Grannies"; Sam Simmons voiced a younger Bob in "Fairytale", and would go on to voice him from "The Sign" onwards.

She is voiced by Rose Byrne.

Chilli's Mum
Chilli's Mum was a Red Heeler. She was Mort's wife, Brandy and Chilli's mother, and Bluey and Bingo's maternal grandmother.

She is voiced by Kate Miller-Heidke.

Janelle
Janelle is a Labrador Retriever, one of the Heelers' next-door neighbours, the wife of Pat and the mother of Lucky and Chucky. While she does not involve herself with her neighbours' games, unlike the rest of her family, she is generally kind-hearted and wants the best for her sons. She has a good eye for planning birthday parties and keeps up with modern trends, preferring to stick with a modern version of pass the parcel while Pat suggested putting only one present in the middle, which would be met with a strong reaction at Chucky's birthday party. She is the only member of her family to barrack for the New South Wales Blues, having moved from the region, so she watches their games alone. However, she joins the rest of her family in barracking for the Gold team. She is voiced by Anna Daniels.

Lucky
Lucky is a Labrador Retriever, one of the Heelers' next-door neighbours, and the eldest son of Pat and Janelle. He is depicted as an energetic kid who loves sports.

Chucky is a Labrador Retriever, one of the Heelers' next-door neighbours, and the youngest son of Pat and Janelle. Much like his brother Lucky, he is playful and kind; however, Chucky is also sensitive. While not generally as sporty as his brother, Chucky likes watching football and is starting to show an interest in the sport. However, during the third game of a State of Origin series, Chucky has to choose between supporting the Maroons and the Blues, the team his mum Janelle barracks for. He ultimately barracks for the Maroons with the rest of his family.

Wendy
Wendy is a Chow Chow and the mother of Judo. Wendy is a sophisticated woman who initially appears to be above the Heelers' games, but later joins in on them herself. She has done ten years of pilates, which allows her to lift people heavier than she is. She is also kind towards her peers, having made the Heelers five lasagnas after Bluey was born. She is currently voiced by Emily Taheny, having been voiced previously by Beth Durack.

Judo
Judo is a Chow Chow who is one of Bluey and Bingo's friends and neighbours; Bluey has known her since she was a baby. Being a Chow Chow, she tends to become attached to some people, such as Bluey, Bingo and Pom Pom, and her hair is very hard to clean. Judo also tended to be bossy and domineering, but in later episodes is receptive to playing with Bluey and Bingo, eventually becoming closer friends to the two.

Doreen
Doreen is an elderly Great Pyrenees who is one of the Heelers' neighbours. She is very sweet and nice. She is voiced by Kelly Butler.

Having moved to Australia from New Zealand, he has a big heart, but prefers to get to the point when playing games. Being a Border Collie, Mackenzie is adept at herding and jumping on sheep. He has a big buddy named Captain, and his family roots for the Kiwis, much to his confusion. As a small puppy, Mackenzie was traumatised after being separated from his mum and thinking she had left him behind, but eventually came to terms with this. Bluey creator Joe Brumm cites Dog from New Zealand comic Footrot Flats, also a Border Collie, as an inspiration for Mackenzie's design.

He speaks French, which Bluey is unable to understand, but is able to communicate through play.

A flash-forward by the end of the episode proves this right, with Jean-Luc, who is now able to speak English, reuniting with Bluey.

Captain and Mia
Captain is an American Foxhound and Mia is an English Setter who are the preteen-aged big buddies of Mackenzie and Bluey respectively.
