Main

 * Sun (voiced by Holly Gauthier-Frankel) is the first of the group's class. She is very determined, intelligent, tomboyish and brilliant, but can be touchy and stubborn. She takes care of cooking the dishes in the group. Her wand is a spoon, which she uses to control temperatures. She has blonde hair and blue eyes and is dressed in pink.
 * Ring (voiced by Eleanor Noble) is the talented leader of the group. He is a generous and kind friend, but can also be a little self-confident and vain.

He has brown hair, dark eyes, and is dressed in red.
