Meet the Characters

Main Heroes

• Princess Nella (voiced by Akira Golz in the US, and Zaris-Angel Hator in the UK) is a princess who loves to have fun. She becomes a knight to protect her kingdom. Nella is brave, confident, and kind. She explores many hobbies, which are often the focus of episodes. Nella was a normal princess who dreamed of being a knight. She got her magical necklace after saving and becoming friends with the unicorn Trinket.
• Trinket (voiced by Samantha Hahn in the US & UK) is Nella's talking unicorn and best friend. She loves fashion and is very stylish. Trinket always supports her friends. She can also be serious when needed to help Nella solve problems. Nella became friends with Trinket after saving her from slime. Trinket was looking for a magic pendant in a cave. She later gave this pendant to Nella. Nella gave her the nickname "Trinket" because her unicorn name was hard to say.
• Sir Garrett (voiced by Micah Gursoy) is a knight who joins Nella on her quests. He collects knightly trading cards that show different magical creatures. He is very smart and uses his knowledge to help the kingdom.
• Clod (voiced by Matthew Gumley in the US, and Joe Attewell in the UK) is Garrett's talking horse. He has two horns on his head. Clod is best friends with Sir Garrett and also gets along well with Nella and Trinket. He often makes everyone laugh.

Villains and Challenges

• Badalf, the Wicked Wizard (voiced by Chris Critelli) is a wizard who wants to steal fancy things from Castlehaven. He often causes trouble with his magic or steals important magical items. But sometimes, he can be friendly. In one episode, he was wrongly blamed for freezing Trinket at a carnival. Nella later found out it was a misunderstanding, and Badalf was innocent.
• Terry is Badalf's loyal pet goat. He often helps Badalf with his plans. Terry does not speak, but Badalf seems to understand what he says.
• The Frostbite Brothers are three ice dragons. Their names are Snowpuff (voiced by Pierce Cravens), Freezy (voiced by Chuck Lewkowiecz), and Frozey. They once stole Santa's sack of presents.
• Stella is a female dragon who stole things from Castlehaven when Nella first met Trinket. Stella accidentally took Trinket when she stole the unicorn's sleeping bag. This made Princess Nella go on a quest to save her best friend. Nella's bravery in facing Stella, who had a scary reputation, allowed Nella to become a Princess Knight for the first time. Stella felt bad when Nella said she had taken Trinket. She said she only stole things to decorate her cave. Nella, Trinket, and friends Nella made on her quest helped decorate Stella's cave. Stella was thankful and returned what she stole from Castlehaven. She also said sorry for her actions. King Dad then made Nella a knight for her bravery.

Other Important Characters

• King Dad (voiced by Ty Jones) is Nella and Norma's father. He rules Castlehaven. Even though he is a king, he is a normal and down-to-earth dad. He supports Nella and made her a knight after she bravely faced the dragon Stella to save Trinket.
• Queen Mom (voiced by Rebecca Soler (season 1) and Alex Covington (season 2)) is Nella and Norma's mother. She is a kind and supportive mom. Like Nella, she was adventurous when she was young and enjoyed sports.
• Princess Norma (voiced by Courtney Shaw) is Nella's baby sister. Nella gets along well with Norma and often helps her parents take care of her.
• Sir Blaine (voiced by Evan Christy) is a mean and bossy nine-year-old knight. He thinks he is the best at everything. His big ego often causes problems for him, and he has to ask for help.
• Olivia (voiced by Alyson Leigh Rosenfeld) is Sir Blaine's cousin. She loves princesses and often causes trouble for Nella and her friends. She can be a bit stuck-up, but deep down, she is a good person. She sometimes cares too much about how things look. She admires Nella for being a princess. At first, she didn't like the idea of a Princess Knight. But she later accepted it after Nella saved her. She sometimes takes advantage of Nella's less glamorous friends, like Smelgly and Minatori. This causes trouble for them, herself, and Castlehaven. But she usually learns important lessons and even becomes friends with Smelgly and Minatori. Like her cousin, she and Nella sometimes work together.
• The Knight Brigade (voiced by Tyler Bunch) is a group of clumsy but kind knights. They guard the royal castle.
• Willow (voiced by Maya Tanida in the U.S. and Kimani Arthur in the UK) is a shy seven-year-old farmer. She has green hair and knows how to grow plants.
• Fidget is a purple and white raccoon.
• Fickle is a pink owl.
• Gork is an Orc. He sometimes shows that he doesn't follow typical gender roles.
• Polkadottie (voiced by Diedrich Bader) is a pink polka-dotted dragon. She was first called Mrs. Dragon. She is the mother of a dragon that Nella finds. Her young children later play with Princess Norma. Polkadottie becomes friends with Queen Mom.
• Minatori (voiced by Rivki Bench) is a friendly female minotaur. Like the minotaurs in old Greek stories, her home is a maze.
• Tilly is a rabbit.
• Cici is a cyclops who has poor eyesight and needs to wear glasses. She becomes friends with Nella and her friends after they teach her why wearing her glasses is important so she can see well.
• Smelgly is an awkward dragon who finds it hard to make friends. Even though she is a dragon, she dreams of being a knight.
• Sir Coach is an armored schoolteacher in Castlehaven. He is also an experienced knight. He teaches Nella, Sir Garret, and Sir Blaine how to be knights. Like Sir Garret, he collects knightly trading cards.
• Flutter is a messenger falcon who often delivers mail for Princess Nella.
