Bunsen Is a Beast

Premise

Characters

Main

• Bunsen Beast – A beast who becomes friends with Mikey and is the first beast to become a student in a human school. His body is a bit cyan, light blue, and white, with magenta-colored lips, arms, and legs. He is very often seen with a smile. He is very cute and fun-loving. He has two cousins named Charlene, a llama with extra legs, and Bob, an abominable snowman.
• Mikey Morris Munroe – Bunsen's best human friend and guide, who helps him navigate through life in Muckledunk. He attends Flap's class along with Amanda and deals with the troubles that arise between them. He has orange hair. In the original unaired pilot Mikey was voiced by Maile Flanagan
• Amanda Killman – A self-proclaimed blossoming ingénue clad in a red, white, and blue schoolgirl uniform and Bunsen's nemesis. She is constantly scheming to get rid of Bunsen by trying to prove that beasts and humans can't coexist. She speaks with a lateral lisp and wears dental braces. Mikey, who stands in the way of this, has become her enemy, although she has a secret crush on him, as hinted in several episodes where she has made comments on him such as praising his tan and shorts. She likes boys in gym shorts, men in tanks and uniform, and her toys Princess Sassafrass and Queen Elizabear. She has a rich father who controls the school board, and can afford a water tower full of acne cream and bribes for townsfolk. She has a pet kitten named Doctor Revenge, who was given to her by Mikey and Bunsen. She has blonde hair.
• Beverly – Amanda Killman's #1 henchman/second in command and seems to be willing to do anything Amanda commands. She is a preschooler. She, at times, is sometimes smarter than Amanda, sensing danger ahead as Amanda mostly ignores her.

• Wolfie – An anthropomorphic wolf who is also Bunsen's best beast friend and Mikey's second best friend.
