Anne Boonchuy is a 13-year-old Thai-American girl from Earth. A magical box called the Calamity Box sends her to Amphibia with her friends Sasha and Marcy. Anne is confident and brave, always ready for an adventure. When she first arrives, she loses one of her shoes!

After two weeks alone, Sprig Plantar finds her, and they quickly become best friends. The Plantar family and the town of Wartwood are hesitant at first, but they let her stay. Anne lives in their basement, which sometimes floods. She misses her home and shares her Earth hobbies with the Plantars, like her love for pizza and TV. Anne grows to love the Plantar family very much and protects them. The people of Wartwood also start to accept her after she helps them.

Later, Anne reunites with Sasha. She realizes Sasha has been a bit bossy throughout their friendship. They even have to fight, and then they get separated. Anne is sad but promises to fix things later.

In season two, Anne and the Plantars travel to Newtopia to find out how Anne got to Amphibia and how to get back. Anne is happy to see Marcy there. Anne used to be very protective of Marcy because she was clumsy. Now, Anne sees that Marcy can take care of herself. Anne also learns that she misses her mom the most. Anne and Marcy realize that Sasha, even though she cares, sometimes looked down on them. They still want to find her. The Calamity Box needs to be recharged, so Anne and the Plantars head back to Wartwood to get it.

Sprig Plantar

Sprig Plantar is a 10-year-old pink frog. He is very adventurous and curious, and he becomes Anne's first true best friend in Amphibia. Sprig is energetic, which sometimes gets him into trouble. But he is always loyal to his friends and family and tries to do what is right. He was the first to befriend Anne and convinced Hop Pop to let her stay.

Sprig cares a lot about Hop Pop, even when they disagree. He also has a typical sibling rivalry with Polly but is protective of her. Sprig was once set up for an arranged marriage with Maddie Flour. They broke it off, but Sprig realized Maddie was cool. He also develops feelings for Ivy Sundew, a friend from childhood. They eventually become a couple. When Sasha returns and tries to control Anne, Sprig bravely tells Sasha that Anne deserves better.

In season two, Sprig and his family travel with Anne to Newtopia. Sprig shows off his natural hunting skills and can perfectly copy voices. In Newtopia, he meets Marcy, Anne's other friend. Sprig is suspicious of Marcy at first because of what happened with Sasha. But he eventually accepts Marcy as a friend. Sprig is also quite smart and was accepted into Newtopia University. He quickly drops out because of the pressure. In one episode, he tells Anne he doesn't remember his mom, which brings them closer. When he returns to Wartwood, he starts openly dating Ivy Sundew.

Hop Pop Plantar

Hopediah "Hop Pop" Plantar is Sprig and Polly's 68-year-old grandfather. He is a traditional, strict, and very protective farmer who runs the family farm. Hop Pop was unsure about letting Anne stay because she was so different. But he learns to welcome her when she takes responsibility for breaking his cane. Hop Pop can be set in his ways but learns to be more open-minded.

He knows about the Calamity Box, the music box that brought Anne to Amphibia. He pretends not to understand it because it's dangerous and buries it to keep everyone safe. Hop Pop loves his grandchildren equally. He has a long-standing relationship with Sylvia Sundew. Hop Pop struggles to keep his fruit stand running and loses it when he can't pay his debts. He runs for Mayor against Mayor Toadstool but loses. However, the Wartwood citizens build him a new stand to show their support.

In season two, Hop Pop leads Anne and the Plantars to Newtopia in their "fwagon" (family-wagon). He leaves the Calamity Box behind, saying a friend is studying it. On the road, Hop Pop shows a heroic side. He also gets a chance to act, fulfilling an old dream. In Newtopia, he worries about Sprig leaving him. An old friend, Sal, helps him understand that he needs to accept change.

Polly Plantar

Polly Petunia Plantar is Sprig's younger polliwog sister. She is outgoing and fearless. Polly loves adventure, monsters, and having fun with her family. Even though she is young, she has the heart of an explorer. When she first met Anne, Polly was disappointed that Anne wasn't a scary monster.

Polly is an expert spitter and doesn't like typical "girly" things. She can also let out a powerful shriek she calls "singing." She thinks romance is gross and loves to be in charge by acting cute. However, Polly gets scared by frightening things and doesn't like to be alone. She also needs saving sometimes because she is small. Still, she is a strong force and has helped Anne and her family out of many tough situations with her determination.

In season two, Polly, her family, and Anne travel to Newtopia. Polly worries that her family sees her as a bother because she's so young. But she realizes they love her no matter what. She also learns she can control electricity and perfectly copy voices. In Newtopia, Anne's friend Marcy tells Polly that she will grow legs in two months. Polly tries to spend more time with Anne, and they often end up causing trouble together. Sprig reveals that Polly never met their mother because she was too little.

Sasha Waybright

Sasha Waybright is one of Anne's and Marcy's human friends. She was captured by Captain Grime and became his new second-in-command after showing her fighting skills. Sasha is the most commanding and rebellious of the three girls. She used to be bossy and manipulative towards Anne back on Earth.

After being captured by Grime and the Toads, Sasha used her charm to make the Toads friendly and serve her. When giant herons attack their tower, Sasha convinces Grime to follow her advice to defeat them. Grime is impressed and makes Sasha his lieutenant. She hopes to use this position to find her friends. Sasha reunites with Anne and reveals she is working with the Toads. Sasha is happy to see Anne but starts to show that she has adopted the Toads' harsh ways. She even threatens Hop Pop. Sasha loses control over Anne, who fights back. When the tower is destroyed, Sasha realizes she has been a bad friend. She lets herself fall but Grime saves her. Later, Sasha tries to motivate Grime, who has become lazy. She admits she doesn't want to lose Grime because he is her only friend. Grime realizes Sasha misses Anne and thinks their friendship is broken. After a battle, they decide to take over Newtopia by force.

Captain Grime

Captain Grime is a huge, one-eyed cane toad who used to rule Toad Tower. He captures Sasha and thinks she is a spy. His army is not very brave. When giant herons attack, Sasha helps him. She convinces him to be more positive with his soldiers. After they defeat the herons, Grime sees how valuable Sasha is and makes her his lieutenant.

Later, Grime tries to capture the frogs in Wartwood. Anne and Sasha end up fighting, which leads to Toad Tower being destroyed. Grime saves Sasha, showing he cares about her, and they escape. Grime loses most of his army, with only Percy and Braddock staying with him. He becomes lazy and unmotivated. Newtopia considers him a wanted person. However, Sasha inspires him to regain his strength and create a new army to take over Newtopia.

Marcy Wu

Marcy Wu is Anne's and Sasha's other human friend. She found the Calamity Box in a shop on Anne's birthday and was also sent to Amphibia. Marcy is the smart one of the group, an expert gamer, and often clumsy.

When she arrived in Amphibia, she ended up in Newtopia. The people there accepted her, and she became King Andrias's main advisor and a ranger. After months, she happily reunites with Anne and meets the Plantars. Marcy is still clumsy, but she has become more adventurous and can take care of herself. She has also learned a lot about Amphibian culture. However, she admits she is a bit jealous of Anne's ability to make friends easily. Marcy spends her time researching the Calamity Box so she, Anne, and Sasha can go home. Marcy and Anne realize that Sasha, despite caring, sometimes looked down on them. But they still miss her and want to fix things. Marcy has to stay in Newtopia while Anne and the Plantars go back to Wartwood to get the Calamity Box. King Andrias then approaches Marcy with a special offer.

King Andrias Leviathan

King Andrias Leviathan is a very tall newt and the king of Amphibia. He seems friendly and kind, but he might have secret plans involving Anne, Sasha, and Marcy. He loves riddles and often sends Marcy on puzzles just to give her a simple message.

When Anne first meets him, he is loud and cheerful, which surprises his advisor, Lady Olivia. He likes many human customs, like fist bumps. He was excited to meet Anne after Marcy told him about her. He even gave the Plantars his royal credit card. He studied the Calamity Box with Marcy for most of Anne and the Plantars' visit. When they left Newtopia to get the Calamity Box, he mysteriously approached Marcy with a special offer.
