* BetaCouple: He and Perdita to Roger and Anita... Or vice versa.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Pongo is as charming and adorable as animated dogs can be. As long as you don't mess with his children.
* DemotedToExtra: In the sequel due to Patch becoming the main protagonist, as well as in TV series since three of his children become the protagonists.
* {{Foil}}: Pongo is the fun-loving, laid-back parenting in contrast to Perdita's stern, elegant parenting.
* HappilyMarried: With Perdita.
* HenpeckedHusband: In the episode, "Splishing and Splashing".
* InnerMonologue: Does this in the beginning when talking about getting Roger a spouse.
* TheMatchmaker: To Roger and Anita.
* MeaningfulName: In Spanish, "Pongo" can be translated as "I place" or "I set". Pongo drags Roger to the park, ''setting up'' a date and eventual marriage with Roger and Anita, while finding his life companion in Perdita.
* NiceGuy: Pongo is heroic, happy, nice, sweet, fun-loving, loving, brave, protective, loyal, and care-free.
* PapaWolf: Pongo [[BattleCouple teams up]] with [[MamaBear Perdy]] to lay the hurting on the two thugs about to kill not only their puppies but all 99 puppies. Their treatment of the bad guys is SCARY. You do not mess with puppies and let their parents find out.

* TheSmartGuy: Throughout the adventure, different sides of Pongo's personality were showcased. He was shown to be intelligent, tactical, and stealthy. With his wits, he was able to outsmart the cunning Cruella, and her bumbling henchman, almost flawlessly. And with these assets, Pongo and his family were able to return home safely.

[[folder:Missis/Perdita]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/perdita.jpeg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"Come on, Lucky. Down, dear."'']]
->'''Voiced by:''' Cate Bauer (''101 Dalmatians''), Pam Dawber (''101 Dalmatians'' TV series), Kath Soucie (currently)

Perdita is the {{deuteragonist}} of ''101 Dalmatians''. She is the pet of Anita, wife of Pongo, and the mother of fifteen Dalmatian puppies as well as adoptive mother of other eighty-four puppies.
----
* ActionMom: In the movie, she and [[ActionDad Pongo]] fight Jasper and Horace.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Perdita is smarter compared to Pongo's ditzy wife in the book version, Missis.
* AdaptationNameChange: In the book version, her name was "Missis"; it's changed to "Perdita" in the Disney franchise.
* BadassAdorable: She may be a cute dog, but Perdita is a fierce warrior, and will jump into battle in the situation calls for it.
* BattleCouple: With her husband, Pongo, when they tag team against Horace and Jasper.
* BetaCouple: She and Pongo to their humans. ...Or vice versa.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Perdita is as charming and adorable as animated dogs can be. As long as you don't mess with her children.
* BrainlessBeauty: Missis in the books can't count and is unable to tell right from left.
* CompositeCharacter: Missis was Pongo's wife in the books. Perdita was another dog to nurse the puppies. The movies and TV series made them one character (Perdita).
* DemotedToExtra: In the sequel and in the TV series.
* {{Foil}}: Perdita is very well mannered, elegant and radiant; a complete foil to Pongo's carefree nature. She is also rather stern, and appears to be a tad more prominent when it comes to disciplining her children, as well as the rascally Pongo.
* HappilyMarried: With Pongo.
* IllGirl: How Perdita is found in the book.
* MamaBear: Perdita is perhaps the ''only'' female character in the old school Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon who truly enters combat and that's when her puppies are threatened.
* MeaningfulName:
** Perdita's name means "loss" in Italian (in the Italian dub her name is changed into "[[DubNameChange Peggy]]" due to the negative meaning of the word "perdita"). It also means the feminine form of "perditus," meaning "lost" or "destroyed" in Latin. While her name has nothing to do with her, it does relate to her and Pongo's puppies going missing.
** In the original novel, Perdita was a stray -- a ''lost'' dog -- before being brought home to help nurse the puppies, making her name make much more sense.
* NiceGirl: Perdita is motherly, gentle, loving, caring, honest, kind, thoughtful, and generous.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Her full name is used only once in the entire film; she is called "Perdy" all other times.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Compared to the humans they're fighting.
* TrueBlueFemininity: Wears a blue collar, as do her daughters.

[[folder:Lucky]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/101dalmatians_656.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350: "She's [Cruella] watching us, Dad."]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Mimi Gibson (''101 Dalmatians''), Ben Tibber (''Patch's London Adventure'' 2003 sequel), Pamela Segall & Dei Mae West (''101 Dalmatians'' TV series, latter in certain episodes), Zachary Balago (''Disney's TH!NK Fast'')

Lucky is one of Pongo and Perdita's fifteen puppies. He is the puppy who nearly dies soon after his birth in both the animated and live-action films, but was revived through the efforts of Roger Radcliffe. Afterward, he was one of the weakest puppies, and was a rival to the more active Patch. Lucky is usually seen sitting in front of the television, and has a tendency to stand in front of it. In general, he is seen to be more of a follower than a leader.
----
* AdaptationalWimp: Disney's Lucky is a [[CompositeCharacter composite]] of Book Cadpig with Lucky's name. In the book, Lucky was the eldest of the main puppies, as well as a competent and well-mannered ringleader. Disney's Lucky isn't as, well, [[IncrediblyLamePun lucky]] in terms of leadership and the responsibilities that come with being the big brother.
* AdaptationalJerkass: He was nicer and more respectful in the book.
* BadassAdorable: In the TV show.
* BigBrotherInstinct: For all his [[AdaptationalWimp Adaptational Wimp-iness]], Lucky is able to offer Patch some comfort and wisdom in the second movie.
* BornLucky: Save for a few bad moments, karmic or not, in the series. In the movie, not so much.
* CelebrityIsOverrated: He finds this out the hard way in "Prima Doggy" when being the Kanine Krunchies advert dog leads to tiring stunts on the whim of [[PrimaDonnaDirector Cecil B. de Vil]].
* CheshireCatGrin: Has an almost pervy one when something particularly fortuitous is happening for him
* ChickMagnet: To a degree, considering his [[ShipTease romantic moments]] with Two-Tone and Rebecca as well as [[AbhorrentAdmirer Dumpling's]] [[UnrequitedLove undesired attraction]] to him.
* CompositeCharacter: In the movie, Lucky has taken on most of the traits belonging to Cadpig in the book (smaller and weaker than the rest, obsessed with TV, tendency to not be lucky at all). This is undone for the TV series, where Cadpig is a character, and Lucky is a lot more like he was in the book (a natural leader and {{Determinator}}), though still has a bit of an addiction to television.
* {{Determinator}}: If Lucky has a particular goal in mind, be it seeing the new ''Thunderbolt'' film or ensuring they don't have to eat a generic brand dog food, he'll do everything to try meeting it. Such as how he'll risk getting caught by Cruella to retrieve Roger's video game project from Scorch. Or fearlessly attempt to retrieve Nanny's purse from a mugger all by himself.
* DisneyDeath: Has one ''immediately after being born'', which gives him his name.
* {{Fanboy}}: Of Thunderbolt, and to a lesser extent Go-Go.
* {{Foil}}: He holds a small rivalry with Patch; they are very similar in personality, however there are a few differences. Lucky is confident and arrogant as apposed to Patch who is insecure and humble.
* TheHero: In the series.
* IronicName: The movie also sort of makes his name an ironic one, as he has a habit of not being lucky at all -- if something unfortunate happens to one of the puppies it's generally him.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He can be a huge dick sometimes but he truly cares about his family and friends.
* LargeHam: Has his moments in the TV series
* TheLoad: His only issue being his TV addiction, which nearly ruins ''Tibbs's attempts to rescue him''.
* MeaningfulName: The spots on his back form a horseshoe pattern. However, it's much more likely he got his name from [[DisneyDeath what happened when he was first born,]] (Anita points out he's "lucky to have lived") as the movie is careful to point out that Dalmatian spots don't show up until a few weeks after birth.
* NotSoDifferent: "Citizen Canine" reveals that he's not all too different than Ed Pig when he runs for the position of Mayor, making bogus promises and attempting to enforce unfair laws on a whim.
* TheRuntAtTheEnd: In the 1961 and 1996 movies.
%%* SmallNameBigEgo
* TimeTravelRomance: With Rebecca in the episode "De Vil-Age Elder"
* UnluckilyLucky: He got his name for miraculously surviving his near death during childbirth, though the fact that he was put in that situation to begin with calls his supposed luck into question.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He really [[AfraidOfNeedles hates needles]].
* YouDontLookLikeYou: A minor example, he inexplicably has white ears in the Disney direct-to-video sequel.

[[folder:Cadpig]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cadpigpushpower.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"Oh forgive me, chosen one. And if it weren't for my total commitment to world peace, I'd kick your sorry little...!"'']]
->'''Voiced by:''' Kath Soucie

Cadpig is the runt of her litter and she is the smallest dog on the farm. She is very much into New Age philosophies and does her best to promote her ideals and spread goodwill throughout the world. While her small stature has prevented her from obtaining the same level of strength as her brothers and sisters, she is much more learned than them and has a better understanding of the world.
----
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: The youngest of her siblings, according to the original novels.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She speaks for world peace, but don't ever rile her.
* BreakThemByTalking: Cadpig often likes to analyze anyone she confronts and try her own type of "Therapy" to subdue them. Cases being; Talking Lambo in to surrendering, just to get her to stop talking, or reducing an entire pack of Doberman to Blubbering Wrecks.
* CanonImmigrant: A strange version. She is present, and one of the major characters, in the original novels, but in the Disney version she's totally absent (with her role as the pup revived by Mr. Dearly/Radcliffe being given to Lucky) -- ''except'' for the series, where she's a main character.
* TheChick: Cadpig is the most feminine of the main four.
* FourthWallObserver: Cadpig frequently acknowledges the audience's presence via LampshadeHanging and {{Aside Glance}}s. One such instance has her comment about how [[TastesLikeDiabetes Roger telling Lucky he's his favorite]] "almost makes you want to toss your kibble".
* GranolaGirl: She is very much into New Age philosophies and does her best to promote her ideals and spread goodwill throughout the world.
* HiddenDepths: Generally calm and collected, Cadpig has a bit of an angry and dark side to work out (especially when it entails things like a desire to rule the world through manipulating the President's dog). Lampshaded in the first episode when a mugger steals Nanny's purse.
--> Give back that purse, you ''BIG JERK!'' {She pauses and then, in a cute tone to us} Oh, I gotta work on my inner hostility.
* HypocriticalHumor: The little pup often preaches world peace and conflict resolution through nonviolent means, and often afterwards will threaten bodily harm towards anyone who upsets her or her family.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Though to a much lesser degree than Lucky, she could be a {{Jerkass}} at times. Like when she psyches out the other competitors at a Kanine Krunchies audition via [[DamnedByFaintPraise backhanded comments about their acts]]. Or repeatedly insults Rolly's desire to become Chief Firedog by pointing out that she's imagining him as the "hopeless dreamer" he is.
%% * {{Kawaiiko}}
%% * LittleMissSnarker
* MeaningfulName: Her name came from a term used in England for a runt in a litter of pigs. This isn't explained in the TV show, but is made a point of in the original novel, where ''Cadpig'' is the puppy that's almost stillborn but is saved, and she is the smallest and weakest of all the puppies.
* NightmareFace: Cadpig has one of the most expressive faces out of the cast, so these were inevitable. Her most notable one featured bloodshot eyes and a SlasherSmile of shark-like teeth.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Cadpig can be quite creepy at times when her darker side comes to the surface. Such as how she expressed a disturbing delight in using Valentine's Day as an excuse to guilt trip and psyche out people.
--> '''Spot''': [quietly, to Rolly] [[LampshadeHanging She scares me sometimes]].
--> '''Rolly''': [He scoffs.] [[DeadpanSnarker Only sometimes]]?
%% * PintSizedPowerhouse
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Has a tendency towards using big words in the series.
* SuperStrongChild: Several times in the series, she shows this.
* UnwantedAssistance: Cadpig has her heart in the right place, but her frequent attempts to help people usually only make things worse due to her refusal to listen to anyone questioning her methods. Two particular examples include where she tried to free a pet lobster and incited a feud between two cows that escalated into a farm-wide conflict when she came in to "help" just as said cows were settling their differences.

[[folder:Rolly]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rollyfull.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"I'm hungry, Mother. I'm hungry!"'']]
->'''Voiced by:''' Barbara Baird (''101 Dalmatians''), Kath Soucie (currently)

Rolly is known for his excessively large appetite. He can be gentle and care-free at times but after his family, food may be his true love.
----
* BerserkButton: Don't mess with food in front of him in the animated series, or call him fat.
* BigEater: He is constantly hungry. He is usually heard asking his parents for food, even after being rescued from Jasper and Horace Badun by his parents.
* TheBigGuy: The heaviest and strongest of his siblings.
* ButtMonkey: In the TV series, Rolly tends to get abused by bullies a lot and even by some of his own friends. Mainly due to his gluttony.
* CatchPhrase:
** "I'm Hungry, mother" in the movies.
** "Oh, papa!" in the TV series.
** "Are you calling me fat?" in the TV series.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Is prone to this when food's involved
--> '''Lt. Pug''': Nobody's ever seen [Lockjaw]. But I've heard him, stomping through the night, looking for his favorite dish. Chicken Veronica with a bed of marinated puppies!
--> '''Rolly''': Is that served with a white sauce?
--> '''Lucky''': Rolly!
%%* DeadpanSnarker
* ExtremeDoormat: In the TV series, Rolly tends to get pushed around a lot.
* FatalFlaw: His obsession with food has gotten him and his friends in trouble in the TV series.
* {{Flanderization}}: In the books, he was only pudgy and not a big eater. In the movies, he becomes a big eater, and in the TV series, he's [[ObsessedWithFood OBSESSED with food]].
--> '''Lucky''': That's not fair! Whatever happened to justice? Whatever happened to honor?
--> '''Rolly''': [thinking] Whatever happened to that little piece of fat you get in pork and beans?
* HelpImStuck: Happens to Rolly in the animated movie and several times in the TV series.
* TheLancer: In the episode "Dog's Best Friend" Lucky calls him his best friend. A bit redundant considering they're brothers, that. Even so, it's their bond and the personality contrast that makes him qualify for this trope.
* TheLoad: He almost gets the puppies caught several times, barely fits through the hole in the wall because of his girth, yelping when Tibbs grabs his tail, being the only one to slip on the ice, and almost sliding in line of Jasper's torch and complaining constantly about being hungry.
* NiceGuy: He can be gentle and care-free at times.
* StoutStrength: Rolly is a chubby pup, but he is also one of the strongest.

Patch is one Pongo and Perdita's original fifteen Dalmatian puppies. He feels lonely and left out with his family, thinking that he's just one of the famous 101 Dalmatians, and longs for a chance to be one-in-a-kind.
----

* TheConscience: Acts as this to [[spoiler: Thunderbolt]].
* {{Fanboy}}: Huge Thunderbolt fan, to the point he knows more about the show than Lucky.
* {{Foil}}: He holds a small rivalry with Lucky; they are very similar in personality, however there are a few differences. Lucky is confident and arrogant as apposed to Patch who is insecure and humble.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Initially trusted both Thunderbolt and Lighting when he first met them, [[spoiler: then Thunderbolt turned out to be using him and Lighting did a FaceHeelTurn. Thunderbolt does come through to help Patch, during the climax, though]].
* MeaningfulName: The spot over his eye looks very much like an eyepatch.
* TheMovieBuff: Patch is a huge fan of Thunderbolt. Because of this, Patch knows every episode of Thunderbolt by heart, something which comes in useful during ''Patch's London Adventure''.
* NiceGuy: A responsible and humble puppy.
* WellDoneSonGuy: He looks up to his father as his role model especially after he was rescued by them.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Some fans say she's this for Cadpig in the 1961 animated movie and 2003 sequel. Justified in some [[DubNameChange foreign language versions]] of the series. In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51FobEYkem0 the Danish dub]], Cadpig's name is "Penny".

* CharacterDevelopment: In ''102 Dalmatians'', he again undergoes a drastic change in personality, as contrary to being stupid, he appears to be quite intelligent and is very protective of his family and pups, whom he cares about deeply.
* TheDitz: In the TV series, he is somewhat dim-witted, and is often dragged into Mooch's plans without a say in the matter.
* ExtremeDoormat: He seems to have a very complacent attitude and will do whatever Mooch does or wants him to do, and doesn't seem to mind; even being hung from a clothespin and shaken like a leaf as evidenced in the series episode "Love 'Em and Flea 'Em".

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TaraStrong

Two-Tone is one of the original fifteen puppies of Pongo and Perdita. She has one side of her body covered with spots, whilst on the other side is blank. Also, her ear is black on the side with spots on it, whilst on the spotless side her ear is white.
----
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: There's her periodic attraction to Mooch to consider, which gets into WhatDoesSheSeeInHim territory considering how he's as rude to her as everyone else. This is particularly demonstrated in "Twelve Angry Pups" when she's uncertain about finding him guilty because he "looks bad yet also cute".
* BeautyMark: A spot on her right cheek is made to resemble this.
* TheBigGuy: In the TV series, Two-Tone is one of the larger pups and probably the biggest of the female pups. She has a rather stout figure and a large head.
* CanonImmigrant: She was introduced in the 1996 live-action movie and was later added to the TV series and the 2003 animated sequel.
* ADayInTheLimelight: She received an episode to herself in "Love 'Em and Flea 'Em" where, after being insulted by Mooch, she then accepts Lucky's invitation to the Four-Legged Fall Ball as his dance partner. It is speculated that the producers either forgot she was Lucky's blood sister or presumed her one of the adopted puppies. Either way, the episode spawned off many fans pairing the two together.
* TheDitherer: It's brought up in a number of episodes, examples being unsure whether she loved or hated yard sales and what to wear, in "Twelve Angry Pups" when she couldn't decide what verdict to give Mooch, and in "Roll Out the Pork Barrel" when she couldn't decide on whether to go to Rolly's party or not.
* GreenEyes: Only in the TV show. In the 1996 live-action movie, she has brown eyes like the rest of the puppies.
* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: In the TV series she wears an earring, [[FridgeLogic which raises the question]] of why her owners would get her pierced. Though, it could be a clip on?
* MeaningfulName: In different styles.
** In the comics, she has one side of her body covered with spots, whilst on the other side is blank.
** In the TV series, the front half of her body being white and the back half black.
** In Early Concept Designs, it was also suggested that she would be called; "Pants", before it being settled on calling her; Two-Tone?
* ShipTease: Two-Tone was in a small romantic relationship with Lucky in the episode, "Love 'Em and Flea 'Em", plus in "Prima Doggy", one little scene kind of hinted she still had some interest in him. Many fans supported this shipping.
* SuperStrongChild: Two-Tone showed in the episode, "Love 'Em and Flea 'Em", that she is one of the strongest pups since she was shown moving a pumpkin around (pumpkins are really heavy and can easily outweigh a Dalmatian puppy).
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Two-Tone is considerably larger than Lucky in the TV series. Her chubby figure makes it evident in comparison to Lucky's slim and slender build.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She loves fashion and playing rough.

* AdaptationalWimp: In the book, the Colonel is much less bumbling and more of an actual military commander, teaching the dogs how to fight and promoting them whenever they do something awesome.
* CoolOldGuy: Mostly in the TV series.
* TheDitz: In the movie. He's not the brilliant tactical mind he thinks he is; in fact he's completely dependent on his HypercompetentSidekick Sergeant Tibbs to get things done.
* DogsAreDumb: Played straight in the movie. Averted in the book and TV series, where he's more of a CoolOldGuy.

* CowardlyLion: He's terrified of Horace and Jasper, but still does everything he can to rescue the puppies.
* {{Determinator}}: Even if he's scared, he'll get the job done, come hell or high water.
* GenderFlip: In the book, "Lieutenant Tib" was female. The Disney version not only changed the cat's gender but demoted her/him to Sergeant has well.
* GoThroughMe: This cat was prepared ''[[HeroicSacrifice to die]]'' to protect the puppies. Fortunately, Pongo and Perdita pull a BigDamnHeroes before he has to resort to that.
* HyperCompetentSidekick: To the Colonel. Taken UpToEleven in the TV series.
* MotorMouth: At times, he can easily surpass anyone else with his talking speed.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: He and the Captain send Horace and Jasper crashing into a wall, where they see the dalmatians' paw prints.
* NervousWreck: Comes off as rather high-strung, what with his rigid saluting and {{Motor Mouth}}ing and the like.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is his name spelled "Tibbs" or "Tibs"?

-->'''Voiced by:''' Thurl Ravenscroft (''101 Dalmatians''), Creator/FrankWelker (''101 Dalmatians: The Series'')

A former cavalry horse in the British military, Captain is a no-nonsense horse that acts in a similar military manner to the Colonel. He's the first to hear the Twilight Bark from the dogs of London, and sends Tibbs to alert the Colonel so that he can translate the barking.
----
* CoolHorse: Considering the time period of the movie he was most likely a horse in the British Army, especially since the farm he lives on is owned by a retired cavalry officer.
* TheCaptain: It's in the name, though he reports to the Colonel.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Considering his blanket and the fact that he's owned by a retired cavalry officer, he most likely is a World War II veteran.
* OfficerAndAGentleman: Goes without saying, as he's a British horse with military experience.
* OldSoldier: Again, retired former member of a Lancer regiment of British cavalry.
* SapientSteed: Being a horse that talks, though he follows other animal laws in that humans can't understand them and probably don't hear them talking at all.

->'''Roger voiced by''': Ben Wright (''101 Dalmatians''), Billy Lee (singing voice), Jeff Bennett (''101 Dalmatians'' TV series), Tim Bentinck (''Patch's London Adventure'' 2003 sequel)
->'''Anita voiced by''': Lisa Davis (''101 Dalmatians''), Kath Soucie (currently)

A married couple who are the loving owners of the dalmatians.
----
* AdaptationNameChange: The two were just "Mr. and Mrs. Dearly" in the book. Dodie Smith wrote Walt Disney about her unhappiness at this name change, and perhaps this was why their surname was changed back to "Dearly" for the live-action remake and the TV series.
* AdultFear: The puppies being taken. Anita and Roger feel it just as bad as Perdita and Pongo.
* AlliterativeName: '''R'''oger '''R'''adcliffe.
* {{Angrish}}: When Cruella comes to claim the puppies, Roger starts stuttering in anger.
* DeadpanSnarker: Roger is often like this, with Cruella.
--> '''Cruella''': [[MaliciousMisnaming Rumpert]], My Boy! Did I wake you?
--> '''Roger''': No, I had to get up to answer the door. Now, is there something you want, or did you drop by to remind me that that Halloween's coming?
* DistinguishedGentlemansPipe: Roger is rarely seen without his pipe in the original film.
* ExtremeDoormat: Anita in the original animated film. Even if she was trying to be nice, she let Cruella go on and insult her house and husband. At least she put her foot down in the live-action adaptation. Even more so in the animated series, where she works in Cruella's designer firm despite her obviously scheming and abusive manner.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: In contrast to Cruella's cigarette holder, Roger smokes a pipe.
* HappilyMarried: They marry at the start of the film and are in a good marriage.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Anita is far too reluctant to believe that Cruella could be the monster Roger calls her out as when the puppies are kidnapped in the first film, even after her violent outburst when they flat out refused to sell them to her. Even more so in the animated series where she's now ''working for Cruella''. Luckily for everyone Roger is not nearly as oblivious.
* LargeHam: Naturally, considering Roger is the one who came up with "Cruella de Vil".
* LoveAtFirstSight: Not so much - though it came eventually.
* MarriedToTheJob: Roger, before meeting Anita. According to Pongo, he was "a musician of sorts" and "married to his work".
* MeetCute: Arranged by Pongo, how Anita meets Roger.
* NiceGuy: Both of them are kind, loving people.
* NoSocialSkills: Roger, at least where Anita is concerned. Pongo even lampshades how in the park he'll just sit and smoke a pipe, ignoring the beautiful lady with her spotted dog, but Roger is enough of a gentleman to help her out of the pond where they both fall and offer his coat and handkerchief.
* ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: Roger adamantly refuses to sell the puppies to Cruella, no matter how much she offers, since he can tell what kind of person she really is.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"Poison them, drown them, bash them in the head... I don't care '''how''' you kill the little beasts, but do it, and do it '''now!'''"'']]
->'''Voiced by:''' Betty Lou Gerson (''101 Dalmatians''); April Winchell (''101 Dalmatians: The Series''); Susanne Blakeslee (since 1997)
->'''Played by:''' Creator/GlennClose ([[Film/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians live action films]])

->"I ''live'' for furs!"

Cruella De Vil is the main antagonist of ''101 Dalmatians'' franchise. She is a wealthy, fashion-obsessed heiress who wishes to use the skins of 99 Dalmatian puppies for a fur coat.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the cartoon, she looks like [[http://www.spletnik.ru/img/__post/22/d2752709b28c_224508e91e123bc9d01d6abc51933386_654.jpg this]], but in the special "Disney Villains Designer Collection", she looks like [[http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/nicolemdav/33236098/915500/915500_original.jpg this]]. You know what? Forget dalmatians.
* AdaptationalUgliness:
** In the movie, Cruella is a wild-haired harridan with a corpse-like face; in the original novel's illustrations, she's depicted as an elegant cold-hearted beauty.
** In the TV series, she looks [[FanDisservice even]] [[{{Gonk}} worse]] than in the movie.
* AdaptationNameChange: An extremely subtle one; her surname is spelled "de Vil" (with a lowercase 'd') in the novels while Disney capitalizes the 'D' in the franchise.
* AxCrazy: She's a MoodSwinger and absolutely psychotic.
* BadBoss: To Jasper and Horace. She verbally abuses them almost constantly until Jasper has finally had it and gives her a BigShutUp.
* BigBad: The main villain of the ''101 Dalmatians'' franchise.
* BigBadEnsemble: With Lil' Lightning in the sequel.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Exaggerated. Right from the start, it's obvious that Cruella is a twisted lady, even when she seems to be at least good terms with Anita while acting obnoxiously stuck-up. There's also the fact that she's literally ''covered'' in animal clothing.
* TheChewToy: For all her villainy in the series, Cruella is also put through the wringer quite a bit to balance things out.
* CruellaToAnimals: The TropeNamer, though her cruelty to animals is downplayed in the Disney adaptations as compared to the original book.
* TheDreaded: The dogs are understandably terrified of her as are her henchmen, and even Anita seems to find her intimidating.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: ''Big time.'' Both the animation and the live-action. Horace and Jasper go a little crazy at the end as well.
* EvilIsHammy: Cruella's habit of ChewingTheScenery is one of the most fondly-remembered things about the movie. Specially as played by Glenn Close in the Live-Action Adaptation.
* EvilIsPetty: Her entire motivation for kidnapping nearly a hundred puppies is to make fur coats out of their exceptionally rare fur, even though Jasper points out that they won't be able to get very many out of them when they're not fully grown yet. This also applies to her kidnapping Roger and Anita's puppies--considering Cruella already had 84 other dalmatian puppies, she did it purely as revenge for Roger standing up to her and refusing to sell their puppies.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Her attempts at skinning the puppies and buying Dearly Farm.
* FalseFriend: Cruella was ''apparently'' one of Anita's old school chums - Heaven knows why, since she's an absolute terror even when she's trying to be ''friendly.'' Roger immediately takes a disliking to her and quickly (and correctly) assumes that she kidnapped the puppies.
* FanDisservice: PlayedForLaughs in the animated series.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Nearly parodied--her fake kindness is almost as foul as her real demeanor.
* FurAndLoathing: Cruella and her fur coat provide the page image.
* {{Gonk}}: In the TV series, justified in that it serves as an indicator of her age and [[ItsAllAboutMe inflated vanity.]]
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Cruella's cigarette with holder.
* HairTriggerTemper: Her temper is terrible. She is easily enraged and infuriated, and yells all the time.
* {{Jerkass}}: When you get right down to it, Cruella really has no redeeming qualities and is just generally mean and unpleasant.
* KnightOfCerebus: The film is a sweet romantic comedy before Cruella rolls in. She is, however, a light Knight early on due to her hamminess and the classic TheVillainSucksSong that Roger's playing in the attic.
* LaughablyEvil: As ruthless as she and her goons are in stealing (and attempted murder of) the puppies, their overblown whimsy and bumbling make up a lot of the movie's humor.
* LeanAndMean: She's a slender, almost skeletal villain with a skeletal face.
* LightIsNotGood: Cruella dresses in a light colored fur coat, but she is the villain.
* MadLibsCatchPhrase: "[[NoteToSelf Memo to myself...]]" in the TV series.
* MeaningfulName: Perhaps the supreme example, her name is clearly a mutation of "Cruel Devil".
* MoodSwinger: Can snap from [[FauxAffablyEvil deceptively friendly]] to unsettlingly cheerful (complete with wild laughter) to terrifying, maniacal rage within the span of a few seconds. In both the 1961 and 1996 films her HairTriggerTemper can kick in within seconds of [[ItsAllAboutMe things not going her way,]] which leads to her flying through moods faster than anything.
* MulticoloredHair: Cruella has hair that's half black and half white. According to some, this symbolizes that she's TwoFaced.
* NameToRunAwayFromReallyFast: A [[ExaggeratedTrope fairly unsubtle]] example. Remove 2 letters and a space, and her name becomes the phrase "cruel devil".
* NearVillainVictory: She came very close to capturing the dalmatians at the end of the first film--if Jasper and Horace hadn't accidentally lost control of their van and T-Boned Cruella's car, there's no way the dogs could have escaped her. Her car was hanging right off the back of the truck they were on.
* NightmareFace: Especially during the chase scene in the film, though the animated series has a few moments as well.
* NotGoodWithRejection: When Roger refuses to sell her the puppies, she throws a tantrum and swears revenge.
* ObviouslyEvil: "Cruella De Vil, Cruella De Vil, if she doesn't scare you no evil thing will..."
* PassiveAggressiveKombat: The entire interaction between her and Anita is this from her end.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: After getting the body of her car shaved off on a bush, her irises and eventually her whole eyes turn devilish-red as she makes her last attempt to derail the moving van and recapture/kill the dalmatians.
* RichBitch: She is an intimidating and very wealthy woman.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Commonly misspelled as "de Ville".
* TheSociopath: Cruella is shallow, petty and selfish to the point she tries to buy and eventually steals a bunch of puppies - from her supposed "best friend" no less - so she can skin them and make coats out of their hides. She has no problem lying about masterminding the crime and at one point threatens to call the police on Jasper and Horace and put the full blame of the crime on them if they don't do the job quickly. As the film nears its end, she goes full AxCrazy mode, becoming physically abusive with Jaspar and Horace, [[HairTriggerTemper exploding with rage at the drop of a hat]], and [[DrivesLikeCrazy driving like a maniac]] to the point she tries to ''crash a truck'' to get to the puppies (showing she has as little regard for human life as animal life). ConsummateLiar? LackOfEmpathy? Criminal and devious? Impulsive and [[ManipulativeBitch manipulative]]? Cruella ticks all the boxes.
* VillainDecay: In the TV series, her only goal is to get the Dearlys off the farm because it's her land, which is ''nothing'' compared to how she wants to kill the puppies and make them into a fur coat in the other versions of the franchise. This however, seems to be the result of MoralGuardians not wanting a vicious puppy killer on a Saturday Morning cartoon.
* VillainousBreakdown: During the climactic ChaseScene. This is especially acute after she accidentally drives her car into a ditch and, in driving it out, accidentally trashes it on some thorny brush. By now, she is plenty pissed off, and it's become clear that it's the dalmatians or her — and she doesn't care who gets in her way. She has yet another one after Jasper T-bones her, wrecking both their vehicles and her dreams of having a dalmatian coat.
%%* VillainousCheekbones
* TheVillainSucksSong: "Cruella De Vil".
* YoungerThanTheyLook: She's an old schoolmate of Anita's, but she looks old enough to be Anita's mother. [[FridgeBrilliance Might be all those cigarettes.]]

Nanny's hired by Roger and Anita Radcliffe as a cook-and-housekeeper, although the Radcliffes seem to see her more as a member of the family than a servant. Like her employers, she deeply loves the dalmatians.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: She is never called anything but "Nanny" in the original movie, but spin-off and behind-the-cenes material has revealed that her full name is "Nanny Cook."
* BattleButler: As Jasper and Horace learn the hard way.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She is not afraid to stand up to Cruella, and put up quite a struggle with Horace and Jasper before they made off with the puppies.
* CompositeCharacter: In the book there are ''two'' Nannies, Nanny Cook and Nanny Butler, who are the family's cook and butler, respectively. The movie's Nanny combines traits of the two.

Jasper and Horace are Cruella De Vil's bumbling henchmen and the secondary antagonists in the first ''101 Dalmatians'' film.
----
* BaldOfEvil: Both are bald and act as antagonists.
* BigOlEyebrows: They both have bushy eye brows.
* BumblingSidekick: Two incompetent goons for Cruella.
* ButtMonkey: Horace in particular gets slapped around by Jasper as well as Cruella. And of course neither of them are any real match for the dogs.
* CatchPhrase: For Horace: "I don't like it" and "I've been thinking".
* CoDragons: Both work under the BigBad.
* DumbassHasAPoint: Horace figures that maybe the dogs think like humans can. This is true, but is passed up by Jasper.
* FatAndSkinny: [[LeanAndMean Jasper]] and [[FatBastard Horace]]
* FatIdiot: Horace, moreso in the animated series.
* HeelFaceTurn: In the sequel of 1961 movie, both give up their criminal ways and open up a dress store as both President and Vice-President.
* NiceHat: Both of them wear caps.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: They may be bumbling goons, but they can be just as cruel as Cruella when pushed. Jasper in particular seems to enjoy bullying Nanny, Sgt. Tibbs and the puppies. During the final chase, Jasper tries to shove the truck the puppies are hiding on over a cliff, driver and all, cackling while he does it. Any reluctance to kill the puppies is usually due to laziness, rather than sympathy.
* RunningGag: Horace says something stupid (or [[DumbassHasAPoint maybe not]]) and Jasper smacks him on the noggin.
* ShipTease: Horace with Nanny in the animated series.
* SmartJerkAndNiceMoron: Jasper is the tall, lanky one, who takes the lead and seems to enjoy being a criminal. Horace is the short, hefty one that follows Jasper because he can't think of anything better to do.
* TerribleTrio: They form one with Cruella.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Always seen together, working for Cruella.
* VillainDecay: Suffering it far worse than Cruella in the TV series. Whereas she can still be somewhat menacing, they're just two cartoony goons.
* WrongGenreSavvy: Horace figures that the dogs can think like humans and evade them through tactics like covering their tracks and disguising themselves. Jasper, under the impression that it's [[ThisIsReality Real Life]] and the dogs can't, dismisses his concerns.

The Truck Driver is a minor character from the first movie, who works in a Moving Van. While he doesn't even meet any of the protagonists, he indirectly helps them out in the climax when they hitch a ride on his truck as he goes toe to toe with a ''very'' pissed off Cruella.
----
* BadassBystander: This is his role in the film. He's just an ordinary truck driver who just happens to catch the wrath of Cruella's [[DrivesLikeCrazy road rage]] head on, all because the dalmatians are all riding in the back of his moving van, something he isn't aware of.
* TheDeterminator: Despite Cruella's aggressiveness, he fights her off as best as he can to keep her from toppling his van, even when she rams her car head on into the back of his truck, getting it stuck and sending the truck swerving out of control.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: He is unnamed in the film, but according to the "My Side Of The Story" book, Lucky claims his name is Nigel.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: ''Definitely'' has the moral high ground over Cruella, but still, she's not a "crazy woman driver". [[{{Dissimile}} She's crazy, and she just happens to be a woman. And driving.]]

-> '''Voiced by:''' Tara Strong

Spot Chicken is a spotted chicken who wants to become a Dalmatian and one of main protagonists of ''101 Dalmatians: The Series''. She is best friends with Lucky, Rolly, and Cadpig.
----
* ButtMonkey: Spot is usually the one who gets roughed up the most throughout their misadventures and often has the most grueling jobs and various creatures constantly attempt to eat her.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: One Spot-centric episode centers around her desire to be a dog as opposed to a chicken. This greatly offends her mother who tries to force Spot to engage in typical chicken activities like egg-sitting. Then there's her self-description as a "dog in a chicken's body".
%%* FeatherFingers
* {{Metaphorgotten}}: As Pullet Marlow, Spot attempts to make clever metaphors of the situation, but often fails at it. To quote Cadpig, she's "metaphorically challenged".
* OnlySaneMan: Usually when the pups set up one of their wacky schemes, Spot is usually the voice of reason as she is more aware of the dangers and consequences to come out of their plan.
* PrivateEyeMonologue: Spot naturally adopts this practice when she dons her private investigator persona Pullet Marlow. This is lampshaded in "K for Kibble" when Swamp Rat questions part of it and Spot comments it's intended to be an inner monologue.
* TheSmartGirl: Spot is known to be the brains amongst the Dalmatians, being able to calculate math problems and have a rough understanding for science.
* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: "The Artist Formerly Known as Spot" centers around Spot creating what are seen as "masterpieces" by Cruella's art appreciator when it's really just her brushing her feathers in random patterns. True to the trope, every attendee of the gallery devoted to Spot's pieces comment at great length about the artistic styles at work. [[invoked]]
* WithFriendsLikeThese: At times, Spot is treated as the ButtMonkey even among the three pups. But it is made clear that they will go to great lengths to help her, and she'd return the favor.

* {{Expy}}: He's a dog version of [[WesternAnimation/{{Doug}} Roger Klotz.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: Implied in "My Fair Moochie" as its Mooch's final main episode appearance and its implied that he has been "cured" by Cadpig.
* {{Irony}}: Wants to preserve his image as a "cool" dog, hangs out with a [[TheDitz moron]] and [[PottyFailure a pup with poor bladder control]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Mean, selfish, and a bully.
* NotMeThisTime: "Twelve Angry Pups" features most of the barnyard accusing Mooch of stealing their stuff. His general reputation and antagonism doesn't help his plea of innocence. Turns out he was right as it was Lt. Pug stealing their stuff for a bunker.

Tripod is a Dalmatian puppy and Lucky's main rival in the Bark Brigade.
----
* TheAce: Is quite athletic, can show up Lucky in many competitions, and was once seen lifting a bale of hay with his one foreleg.
* CharacterDevelopment: He starts out as a cocky, kiss-up to Lt. Pug. In "Lucky All-Star", these traits start to fade. It seems zig-zagged throughout the series, but this is mainly due to the mess-up with the airing order.
* {{Determinator}}: When it comes to winning challenges and contests, Tripod is quite determined. This has extended to him practicing for a bone-digging contest by [[UpToEleven digging a massive number of huge holes in a short matter of time]].
* HandicappedBadass: He's the most athletic of the pups...and he only has three legs.
* HypocriticalHumor: Tripod is chosen to be the neutral judge of the episode "Walk a Mile in my Tracks" where Lt. Pug is challenged to work through Spot's mother's daily routine. Despite repeatedly emphasizing his impartial status, he later disguises himself as [[ItMakesSenseInContext a koala that attacks Spot so that her mother will give Pug his job back]]. His reason? So he can remain second-in-command.
* MeaningfulName: His name means "three feet".
* TheRival: To Lucky.
* ShipTease: Many fans like to ship him with Cadpig due to the fact that they both have physical shortcomings (Tripod's missing leg and Cadpig's small size).
* UnfortunateName: Calling a three-legged pup "Tripod" seems like the equivalent of calling a kid in a chair "Wheels". Tripod isn't deterred by it though.

* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: His frequent attempts at eating Spot.
* {{Jerkass}}: What did you expect from Cruella's pet?
* ThemeNaming: His name is a synonym for "burn", fitting well with Cruella's devilish theme.

-> '''Voiced by:''' Jeff Bennett

Lt. Pug is the commanding officer in charge of the Bark Brigade, though this is due to the fact that the other available officers capable of running the Bark Brigade have reasons that prevent them from doing the job.
----
* ADayInTheLimelight: In the episode "Walk a Mile in My Tracks".
* FreudianExcuse: At least some of his aggressive and domineering behavior could be attributed to how he was horribly mistreated and picked on as a pup by [[CatsAreMean Persian Pete]]. This is also likely the source of his hatred and paranoia of cats.
* FantasticRacism: Hates cats with a passion, suspects the worst of them, and treats Sgt. Tibbs with a level of disdain and disrespect.
* FatalFlaw: Lt. Pug does have one innate flaw that jeopardizes his future in the Bark Brigade and his chance for advancement: he has an innate fear of cats.
* {{Gonk}}: Among the dogs.
* {{Irony}}: The one episode where he entertained the possibility of giving up his paranoia of cats is the one where a cat invasion took place.
* {{Jerkass}}: A harsh and domineering attitude.
* TheNapoleon: Spectacularly demonstrated in the episode "Full Metal Pullet" when he repeatedly smacks his head against a stump and gets mad at Sergeant Tibs for helping him get atop it.
* TheNeidermeyer: While the Bark Brigade isn't an official military group, he fits the role quite well given the (completely justified) contempt he receives from his "cadets".
* ShellShockedVeteran: He'll flip out over crazy ideas and is constantly paranoid of cats making their move.

[[folder:Jasper and Horace Baddun]]

* HateSink: Probably one of Disney's most famous examples. She's not only universally disliked in-universe for being such a cruel and unpleasant individual, but she's considered one of Disney's nastiest villains out of universe too.

[[caption-width-right:350:"My story begins in London, not so very long ago. And yet so much has happened since then, that it seems more like an eternity."]]

[[caption-width-right:350:"Come on, Lucky. Down, dear."]]

[[caption-width-right:350:"Oh forgive me, chosen one. And if it weren't for my total commitment to world peace, I'd kick your sorry little..."]]

[[caption-width-right:346:"That Ol' Dirty Dawson, the yellow-livered old skunk! I'd like to tear his gizzard out!"]]

[[caption-width-right:136:"No dog's better than Dad."]]

[[caption-width-right:143:"I always wanted to get good and dirty!"]]

[[caption-width-right:350:"Yard sale? I love yard sales! Actually, I hate yard sales. Of course, the pros of a yard sale are the bargains! But the cons of a yard sale are that the items are used. Ick!"]]

[[caption-width-right:350:"On the double, man! On the double!"]]

[[caption-width-right:350:"Yes, sir. Roger, sir. Right away, sir."]]

Sergeant Tibbs is a tabby cat from ''101 Dalmatians''. Tibbs is the sidekick of the Colonel and an ally to Pongo and Perdita, as he helps the couple rescue their puppies.

* GoThroughMe: This cat was prepared ''[[HeroicSacrifice to die]]'' to protect the puppies. Fortunately, Pongo and Perdita pull a BigDamnHeroes in time to prevent that.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: He and the Captain send Horace and Jasper crashing into a wall, where they see the dalmatians' paw prints.

[[caption-width-right:350:"Barking signal. It's an alert. Report to the Colonel at once."]]

* HeroOfAnotherStory: Considering his blanket and the fact that he's owned by a retired cavalry officer, he most likely is a World War 2 veteran.

[[caption-width-right:350:"Poison them, drown them, bash them in the head... I don't care '''how''' you kill the little beasts, but do it, and do it '''now!'''"]]

[[caption-width-right:350:"The little dears."]]

[[caption-width-right:350:"You're mouse meat, Midget Mutt!"]]

[[caption-width-right:212:"Thank you."]]

[[caption-width-right:337:"Today's survival mission is one that you'll remember for the rest of your dog days!"]]

[[caption-width-right:210:"I'm the mayor, and I have passed a law stating that no whistling is allowed on this here farm!"]]

[[caption-width-right:210:"You saved my life again!"]]

* NoSocialSkills: Roger, at least where Cruella is concerned. Pongo even lampshades how in the park he'll just sit and smoke a pipe, ignoring the beautiful lady with her spotted dog, but Roger is enough of a gentleman to help her out of the pond where they both fall and offer his coat and handkerchief.

* EvilIsPetty: Her entire motivation for kidnapping nearly a hundred puppies is to make fur coats out of their exceptionally rare fur, even though Jasper points out that they won't be able to get very many out of them when they're not fully grown yet. This also applies to her kidnapping Roger and Anita's puppies--considering Cruella already had 86 other dalmatian puppies, she did it purely as revenge for Roger standing up to her and refusing to sell their puppies.

* CorruptPolitician: The "mayor" of the farm... who manipulates and cheats the others to get what he wants.

* TheLoad: At times, his inability to resist the scent and/or presence of food will make things much harder for the pups.

* EvilIsHammy: Specially as played by Glenn Close in the Live-Action Adaptation.

* ButtMonkey: Cruella often treats Horace and Jasper this way. Also, Jasper treats Horace like this, too.

* {{Gonk}}: In the TV series, justified in that it serves as an indicator of her age and [[ItsAllAboutMe inflated vanity]]

** Perdita's name means "loss" in Italian (in the Italian dub her name is changed into "[[DubNameChange Peggy]]" due to the negative meaning of the word "perdita"). It also means the feminine form of "perditus," meaning "lost" or "destroyed" in Latin. While her name has nothing to with her, it does relate to her and Pongo's puppies going missing.

* VillainousCheekbones

* CruellaToAnimals: The TropeNamer.

* AdaptationalWimp: Disney's Lucky is a [[CompositeCharacter composite]] of Book Cadpig with Lucky's name. In the book, Lucky was the eldest of the main puppies and a competent ringleader. Disney's Lucky isn't as, well, [[IncrediblyLamePun lucky]] in terms of leadership and the responsibilities that come with being the big brother.

** [[FridgeHorror UM...aren’t they brother and sister???]]

* TheMovieBuff: Patch is a huge fan of Thunderbolt. Because of this, Patch knows every episode of the show by heart, something which comes in useful during ''Patch's London Adventure''.
