The characters featured in the 2019 Unlock the Magic series.
Main
Cheer is the leader of the group and the pilot of the Cloudseeker. She is a positive go-getter and is always up for a challenge.
- Always Second Best: In one episode, Cheer began to get depressed because she believed that Grumpy was a better driver than her.
- Gamer Chick: This iteration of Cheer is the undisputed video game champ of Care-a-Lot. Fortunately for her, the Cloudseeker's driving system works like a gaming controller.
- I Know Mortal Kombat: The Cloudseeker's driving system works like a video game controller, which makes Cheer best suited to piloting it.
- The Leader: Promoted to leader by Tenderheart himself.
Share is the team communicator. She talks to animals, loves to bake, and also loves connecting with everyone.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: Downplayed. She was already a kind and gentle bear in previous incarnations, but she could be quite envious when someone else surpassed her in skills in which she excelled and even had moments of It's All About Me, in this new installment she does not show any of those traits and seems to be a Nice Girl in a straight line.
- Nice Girl: She’s a real great communicator and is quite friendly.
Grumpy is the team mechanic and resident worrywart. He is flippant and smart-alecky, but deep inside is a kind-hearted Care Bear who is tone deaf to his own words.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: Grumpy isn't as grumpy as in other incarnations, and it is shown that he is mainly much more affectionate with Dibble. That being said, most of the time he's still his grumpy self.
- Deadpan Snarker: Yep.
- Gadgeteer Genius: Often invents machines for the bears.
- Only Sane Man
- Papa Wolf: While the whole team pitch in regarding caring for Dibble, Grumpy is easily the most protective of her, and will go to great lengths to keep her safe and happy.
Good Luck is the mission's navigator. He tackles every task with determination and is determined to succeed by himself with no luck involved.
- Ascended Extra: Becames one of the main five bears.
- Born Lucky: Duh.
- Drama-Preserving Handicap: Due to the Silver Lining affecting the Bear's powers, Good Luck isn't quite as lucky in this series.
- Those Two Guys: Shares this with Funshine.
Funshine is the co-pilot of the Cloudseeker, and is blindly optimistic.
- Innocently Insensitive: He tends not to realise how much damage his pranks and jokes can do.
- The Prankster: He loves pulling pranks on others.
- Those Two Guys: Shares this with Good Luck.
- Took a Level in Jerkass: He is notably more rude than in previous installments, but most of the time it's not intentional.
Caring Control
Tenderheart is the anchor. He supports the crew from afar through the Caring Tower, and is kind, wise, and fatherly.
- Team Dad: Sees himself as a father to the bears.
Bedtime is the night watch. He is a night owl who loves to read books, and is the enthusiastic scholar and the team's "search engine". He also has a sudden British accent.
- Accent Adaptation: Bedtime Bear usually talks in the same American accent as everyone else but in this incarnation he talks with a British accent instead for some reason.
- Sleepyhead: A bit less in this series, despite his name, but he does have moments of this.
- The Smart Guy: The team often rely on him for answers to strange phenomena they encounter.
Wish is the mission's "mom"; practical, supportive, and full of wisdom.
- Team Mom: The other Bears see her as a mother figure.
Whiffles
- Ridiculously Cute Critter: The Whiffles are this in spades.
Dibble is the Team Pet and companion. She communicates through limited words, coos, and sounds. While it is difficult to understand what she is saying, it is apparent what she is feeling. She is as eager as a puppy though clueless as a kitten.
- Character Catchphrase: "Look-looky!"
- Flying on a Cloud: She can create her own cloud for transportation.
- In-Series Nickname: The team often call her "Dib". Grumpy also calls her "Kiddo".
- Morality Pet: She is this for Grumpy. Who is much more affectionate when Dibble is around.
- Team Pet: The Care Bears all play a part in caring for her. Grumpy in particular treats her like a daughter.
- Third-Person Person: She often uses her name rather than "I".
- True Companions: To the rest of the team. When they were led to believe their mission in the Silver Lining was complete, they fully intended to bring Dibble back to Care-A-Lot with them.
The Bad Crowd
- Bad Boss: He treats his underlings very poorly.
- Egopolis: His ultimate goal is to turn the Silver Lining into his own personal amusement park, "Blusterland".
- I Lied: The pilot reveals that he struck a deal with the ancient Care Bears; in exchange for the Bears staying out of the Silver Lining, he promised not to cause any trouble. Once the Bears left, he immediately went back on his promise.
- Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Like most post-80s Care Bears villains, he's mostly harmless.
- Never My Fault: He blames the failure of his plans on others, rather than admit to his own faults.
- Because You Were Nice to Me: She starts helping the Care Bears after Grumpy helps her out of a maze.
- Double Agent: She secretly assists the Care Bears in dismantling Bluster's plans.
- The Lancer: He’s this to the Bad Crowd.
- The Starscream: He schemes to take over the Bad Crowd in multiple episodes.
- Heel–Face Turn: After realizing how nice the Care Bears have treated him, He turns against Bluster and decides to live with and help the Whiffles.
- Nice Guy: Was a member of the Bad Crowd before he got kicked out for being too nice.
Other Characters
- Heel–Face Turn: They change their ways at the end of their first appearance.
A brand new Care Bear. Togetherness Bear represents diversity and inclusivity, and their Belly Badge is a rainbow strip that forms a heart. Uniquely, no two Togetherness Bear toys look the same.
- All Your Colors Combined: Togetherness Bear was initially white/colorless until Cheer, Grumpy, Funshine, Share, Good Luck and Tenderheart offered them theirs. Unable to decide what color they want to be, they decided to combine all of the colors to make a unique rainbow color seen on them.
- Ambiguous Gender: Even though their description uses female pronouns, their introductory video refers to them with both male and female ones.
- Rainbow Motif: Togetherness Bear is rainbow-colored and has a rainbow heart for a Belly Badge. To promote inclusivity in diversity, every toy featuring Togetherness Bear has a unique coloration, with no 2 Togetherness Bears looking the same save for the Belly Badge.
