Characters

Main

• Hazel Charming (voiced by Addison Holley) is a young Charmer and Enchantress-in-training whose magic is known for its tendency not to work out well, to the point that her magical mishaps and her cat named Seven, are known as being Hazeled. Sometimes she uses her wand in the Charmhouse. Her musical instrument in Rainbow Sparkle is an electric guitar.
• Lavender (voiced by Alexa Torrington) is a bow-loving and purple-haired Charmer who uses her wand for making potions to help the others, and she also has a pet dragon named Flare. She has won awards for fashion design. Her catchphrase is "Charmazing!" Her musical instrument in Rainbow Sparkle is a set of drums.^[5] She is the only non-white main character.
• Posie (voiced by Matilda Gilbert) is a lighthearted, blonde-haired Charmer who uses her wand to play it as the flute. She has two brothers, her older brother is named Parsley and her baby brother is named Thistle, and her pet owl is named Treble. Easily excitable and very gentle, Posie is optimistic and peaceful by default. She sees the beauty in everything and can be very sweet with a motherly flair and ability to trust her instincts.
