Main
- Zokie Sparkleby is a short blue alien from Planet Pudge. He decides to stay on Earth with Ruby. He is very outgoing, optimistic, and helpful, but he is also naïve and clueless about Earth.
- Ruby Studebaker is an excitable young video vlogger who lives in an apartment building. Her channel is called Planet Ruby. When she discovers that Zokie is her first follower, the two become best friends.
Recurring
- Earl is a cranky, accident-prone red squirrel. He has a selfish and sarcastic demeanor, and finds Zokie and Ruby greatly annoying due to their naïve and childish antics, as well as inadvertently gifting him the ability to talk. He has a habit of eating disgusting things and pulling off cons to get money, which usually painfully backfire on him. He begins dating Konko as of "Love Nuts".
- Dee and Stan are Ruby's parents. Both of them work gig jobs that change from episode to episode.
- Grandma Pearl is Ruby's maternal grandmother who loves going to the gym. She is also more tech-savvy than most seniors.
- Tweenkle is a bratty 15-year-old teenage girl with an extremely popular channel on MeScreen. In "Tweenkle Rebrands", she, as the title suggests, rebrands into Teenkle upon turning 16, eventually becoming the leader of a pack of wolves and leaving her civilized life behind to start anew with them, though she makes one final appearance in "The End Times". Her name is a portmanteau of "tweenager" and "twinkle".
- King Pootywinkle is the tyrannical, dangerously immature Pomeranian dog king of Zokie's home planet, and the show's primary antagonist.
- * Konko is King Pootywinkle's assistant, a seemingly brutish, yet sensitive and soft pink dog-like alien. As of "Love Nuts", she has begun dating Earl.
