Cast
- Gwen
- The protagonist.
- Rremly
- A small 400 year old dragon. When most people look at him, they rationalize that they are looking at a dog of some sort. Even when he flies.
- Baxter
- An angry squirrel who often ends up naked (furless).
- Aya
- This kitten was adopted from the webcomic Neko the Kitty. She is a self proclaimed ninja. As far as fans have been able to determine, this is the first instance of a comic strip officially adopting another comic's character.
- The Dustballs
- Tennibrook
- The 6 year old personification of Gwen's inner child has a disturbing love of electric clippers, much to the chagrin of the dustballs and Aya. It is unknown if Gwen physically transforms into Tennibrook or if she merely generates the image of the 6 year old, given that other characters have distinctly seen the young girl.
- DOODLEBUNNY
- Star of the Cathartic Doodles weekend series.
Additional Cast
- Sam (nee Cute Guy)
- Gwen's main love interest. He sees Rremly as a dragon, something he attributes to his last girlfriend.
- Percy
- A gargoyle who also lives in the building. They met on the roof one dark night. Percy does not turn to stone at dawn, as the myth suggests.
