In Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-lot, he wears a dark blue night cap and white slippers. He very rarely gets wide awake throughout the series.
He is the main character in the episode "Bedtime In Care-a-Lot", when every other Care Bear who works hard is put to sleep, he has an idea to wake them all up by playing Shreeky's loud scream with a tape recorder. He is also found sleeping in a barrel by the blond twins named Sarah and Sally who argue obviously.
He is voiced by Gloria Figura in the first two films and second TV series, The Care Bears, Laurie Waller-Benson in the first TV series, Scott McCord in two of the CGI films and Richard Ian Cox in Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot.
Birthday Bear
Birthday Bear wants everyone to have happy birthdays and loves birthday parties and games.
He is golden yellow and his tummy symbol is a pink cupcake with a candle.
In the episode called "Birthday", he settles a birthday with Lotsa Heart Elephant for a boy named Matt who is initially jealous because his mother has told him, he would have a sister. In "The Forest Of Misfortune", Birthday Bear predicts that there will be a birthday party in the Forest of Feelings and towards the end, it is accepted.
He is voiced by Melleny Brown in both the first two films and the TV series.
His main appearence is "Birthday Bear's Blues" when he goes out to help a rich boy named Charles who thinks his friends has forgotten his birthday.
Cheer Bear
Cheer Bear is a very happy and perky bear, who helps everyone be their happiest and cheer up those who are unhappy.
She has carnation pink colored fur with a rainbow as her tummy symbol.
She appears in some episodes of the first two TV series. In the episode called "The Last Laugh", she is depressed that she has lost hope giving up trying to cheer Grumpy Bear up. Towards the end, Swift Heart Rabbit convinces her that "when you care, you don't give up." In "Drab City", she turns negative and part of her symbol is either disappearing or turning gray because of the grayscale world. The Care Bear Stare/Cousin Call heals her with color.
In the later Nelvana episodes she sports a ponytail and wears a yellow jacket with short puffed sleeves and a golden yellow bracelet on her wrist. According to "The Gift Of Caring", she helps a girl named Carol make the Care Baskets in time to give to her friends in the hospital.
In Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot, she has a short ponytail with a rainbow ribbon tied in a bow, and is the current leader of the Care Bears.
She is voiced by Melleny Brown in the first two films and the TV series, Sunday Muse in the two CGI animated films and Tabitha St. Germain in the new TV series, Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot.
Cheer Bear is sweet and loving just like her voice she is pretty and smart. She also has a home that is rainbow themed.
Friend Bear
Friend Bear is a kind and friendly bear who shows what it means to be a good friend by learning that the best way to make friends, is just be yourself.
And also, her best friend is Secret Bear.
She is peach with two intertwined smiling flowers (yellow in the first series, pink in the new series) on her tummy.
When Secret Bear is with her during their Caring Missions in the 1980s films, she translates her body language and interprets what she says. She is the only Care Bear to appear in the book that is titled "Trouble With Timothy".
In "Adventures in Care-a-Lot", she has bangs and wears a flower clip that matches her symbol.
She is voiced by Eva Almos in the first two films and TV series, Catherine Disher in two of the CGI animated films, and Shannon Chan Kent in "Adventures in Care-a-Lot".
Funshine Bear
Funshine Bear loves to play and tell jokes all the time, but sometimes forgets that there are times in life you must be serious.
Funshine was originally a female Care Bear until 2002.
He has sunshine yellow fur with a smiling sun on his tummy.
He is also the main character in Care Bears: Journey to Joke-a-lot.
In Adventures in Care-a-Lot, he wears a red baseball cap with his symbol on it, and has lost his jokester persona, as it was replaced with his new caring mission of making up games and other fun things.
He is voiced by Patricia Black in the first series, Julie Lemieux in the two CGI films and Ian James Corlett in the second TV series, Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot.
Good Luck Bear
Good Luck Bear is all about spreading good luck for everyone. He can also be inspirational for St. Patrick's Day.
He has deep green fur and his tummy symbol is a shamrock with heart-shaped petals. In the first TV series he has a strange Irish accent, but in the rest of the series, he has a very good American accent.
In the first film, he helps Grumpy Bear fix the Rainbow Rescue Beam just in time for the machine to work. He also can fly in a clover he holds on to in his film about Wonderland. He has a crush on Polite Panda, but later he falls for Wish Bear.
He also rides on a shamrock helicopter in the beginning of Journey to Joke-a-lot and some scenes from the Big Wish Movie.
He is voiced by Marla Lukofsky in the first three films and second TV series, Susan Roman in two of the CGI films, and Samuel Vincent in Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot.
Grumpy Bear
Grumpy Bear shows that while it's okay to be grumpy sometimes, it is also silly to let grumpiness go too far.
He has also been the inventor/mechanic for the rest of the Care Bears. He has dusty blue fur and his symbol is a dark blue raincloud with raindrops (some of which are shaped like hearts).
He is cynical, surly, and rarely happy, hence his name, but he does value his friends and smiles on special occasions.
In the first TV series, he talks in a deeper voice and in The Care Bears Adventure in Wonderland, he's shown to be extremely hungry that he wants to eat food.
He is voiced by Bob Dermer in the first three films and first two TV series, Robert Tinkler in the two CGI films and Scott McNeil in Oopsy Does it! and the new TV series, Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-lot.
Love-a-Lot Bear
Love-a-Lot Bear is a bear who helps spread love and help it along wherever she goes.
She has deep pink colored fur and her tummy symbol is two intertwined hearts with yellow and pink outlines. Sometimes she has a red nose in the cartoons.
As a main character, she is the very first Care Bear to find the Cloud Worm as seen in the episode titled "The Cloud Worm" and is very capable of reading fortunes as seen in the episode called "The Forest Of Misfortune". She also appears in the books that are published in the 2000s and titled "Love Is All Around", "Special Delivery" and "What Makes You Happy?" In "Special Delivery", she finds an idea of her own to give Tenderheart a present.
In Adventures in Care-a-lot, she has a straight ponytail, wears a hair clip that matches her tummy symbol and also wears a purple scarf.
Also in the new series, when she speaks, she inserts the word "love" into almost every sentence, hence her name.
A limited edition white and silver Love-a-lot Bear plush (which includes an exclusive DVD of the first animated special) was also released in 2007 to commemorate the Care Bears' 25th anniversary.
She is voiced by American actress Georgia Engel in the first film, Linda Sorenson in the first TV series, Angela Maiorano in two of the CGI films and Terri Hawkes in Adventures in Care-a-Lot.

He is brownish orange and his tummy symbol is a big red heart with a pink outline.
In Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot, he wears a red heart-shaped backpack.
Wish Bear
Wish Bear helps make wishes come true, and although they don't always come true, making wishes and working hard to help make them come true is still fun.
Twinkers, a wishing star, is her best friend (whom she met as a cub) who appears in Care Bears: Journey to Joke-a-lot as well as in The Care Bears' Big Wish Movie where Wish Bear is the main character.

Daydream Bear
Daydream Bear shows that daydreams are fun and help inspire people to do great things, but you also have to pay attention to the world around you, as her failure to do so often gets her into funny little accidents.
In plush form, Daydream Bear was originally a UK exclusive.
She has blue-violet fur (originally bubblegum pink) and her symbol is a purple heart-shaped planet resembling Saturn, with stars around it (originally two heart-shaped balloons).

He is forest brown and his tummy symbol is a bear and a rabbit hugging with trees in the background.
Grams Bear
Grams Bear is the grandmother of all the Care Bears family, Grams Bear looks after the Kingdom of Caring's two youngest members, Hugs and Tugs. A seasoned "veteran," an excellent storyteller, and a valued mentor for the family, she knows just about all there is about being a Care Bear, and is ready to lend a hand or a patient ear to help anyone in need.
As a later addition to the toy line, Grams Bear was featured, along with her grandchildren, in the first movie and in the Nelvana TV series. She has blue-violet or gray fur (in the TV series/original plush) and her tummy symbol is a pink rose with a yellow bow. She also always wears a pink shawl around her neck (both her plush and in the TV series).
She has once used the Care Bear Stare in one of the episodes when facing Shreeky and Beastly. In "Grams Bear's Thanksgiving Surprise", we see a different side of Grams Bear the other Care Bears normally don't see - one of which is to ride a cloud scooter, dance to/play loud music, and is living proof of the saying "You're only as old as you feel". Loves to make Happy Apple pies (which counteracts the effects of Sour Sam's Crabby apple pies).
Harmony Bear
Harmony Bear loves peace and helps others overcome differences and show that they are something to be celebrated, not something to keep people apart.
She also loves to sing.
In the second movie (1986), Harmony's symbol was three joint-together hearts (the American version), and in the British version, it was three music notes.
She has violet purple colored fur; and since 2004 her tummy symbol has been a smiling flower with multi-coloured petals.
She made her CGI debut in "The Care Bears' Big Wish Movie". In the TV series Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot, she wears a pink or gold headband with a smiling flower on it that matches her symbol.
She is voiced by Nonnie Griffin in the first TV series, Athena Karkanis in The Care Bears' Big Wish Movie, and Andrea Libman in the second TV series, Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot.
I Love You Bear
I Love You Bear was a bear that was only given out in the UK for Charity Groups.
She was originally yellow with a small heart badge on his chest saying "I love you" but later they put the heart on his tummy, and it was given yellow boarder lines.
Her fur color was also available in light pink.
Perfect & Polite Panda
Perfect and Polite Panda look after Paradise up above the skies of Care-a-Lot. They always spoke in rhyme, finishing each others sentences and complimenting one another's feelings.
They only appeared in one episode of the first TV series, The Care Bears, "The Long Lost Care Bears". Perfect Panda has black and white patched fur, and has a gold star with a ribbon on his tummy, while Polite Panda has a pink rose with a ribbon on her tummy.
In the 2000s toy line, Polite Panda is patched with purple and white and has a pink nose. She is also released as a talking plush toy with no rhymes.
According to True Heart, back when all the Care Bears and Care Bear Cousins were very young, Perfect and Polite were frightened away by No Heart, which explains how they were separated.
Sea Friend Bear
Sea Friend Bear is another British exclusive in the 1980s between Tonka and the World Wildlife Fund.
Sea Friend Bear makes sure that the world's oceans and seas are safe from harm.
He is sea blue and his symbol is an ocean wave with a sun smiling over it.
In Australia, he was known and marketed as 'Ocean Friend Bear' although his original name remained printed on his washing instructions tag.
Secret Bear
Secret Bear is a later addition to the Care Bears family and acts as a mime to the other members.
He keeps everything a secret, although there sometimes comes a circumstance in which he needs to communicate a message to the other bears, in which case he performs a hilarious display of charades and pantomime to get his message across.
Of course, this rarely works, and as a result he ends up having to bite the bullet and whisper into another bear's ear what he was trying to say.
With only occasional exceptions, he will only tell secrets to his partner, Friend Bear. Secret Bear was recently remodeled and is now a female bear that can speak.
She has raspberry red fur (originally tangerine) and her symbol is a red heart-shaped padlock which is later on changed to raspberry red just like her current fur color.
She is voiced by Anni Evans in the first series and Chantal Strand as a stuffed toy.
Share Bear
Share Bear helps others to learn about sharing the things they have.
She shows that, through her symbol, sharing is caring. Originally, Share Bear's symbol was a pink heart-sprinkled milkshake with two straws.
In 2002, it was changed to two heart-shaped lollipops (one pink with a blue heart and stick, the other blue with a pink heart and stick), on the grounds that sharing milkshakes can spread germs according to Play-Along-Toys. in the TV series Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot, she has short curly hair tied up with a pink clip and carries a pink purse full of lollipops to share with her fellow Care Bears.
Share Bear is the main character in the TV special, "Broken", where she wore a blue necklace with a pink heart charm, needed to fix Wingnut, and kept half the charm at the end, as well as the Care Bears movie, Care Bears: Share Bear Shines.
She is voiced by Patricia Black in the first TV series The Care Bears, Stevie Vallance in the two CGI films, and Tracey Moore in Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot.
Her fur color is lavender purple.
Surprise Bear
Surprise Bear is a bear who loves a good surprise.
She has deep purple fur (originally blue) and her tummy symbol is a colorful heart stamped jack-in-the box with a star popping out.
In "Adventures in Care-a-Lot", she sports a long ponytail with a gold elastic, and pops up almost anywhere, shouting "Surprise!" which is her catchphrase for surprising someone.
She appears in one of the live-action "Care Bear Hide-&-Seek Game" commercial as an animated character between the two kids. She also made her movie debut in Care Bears: Oopsy Does It! and is voiced by Kelly Sheridan.
Take Care Bear
Take Care Bear helps her friends live in the best of health.
Her only appearance in the 1980s franchise was in a 1987 cough medicine coloring book, whose original symbol was a smiling apple, and her fur was honey-yellow.
Today, she is pale pink and her tummy symbol is a purple smiling heart holding a smiling star.
True Heart Bear
True Heart Bear is the co-founder of the Kingdom of Caring alongside Noble Heart Horse in the second movie Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation.
The mother of the Care Bears and the Cousins, True Heart Bear is everything one would expect the first Bear to be: warm, perky, fun, caring and friendly.
Her fur color is multi-pastel coloured (in the original artwork and as a plush toy) or pastel yellow with a pink and purple tuft of hair on her head (In the second movie and the TV series), and her tummy symbol is a multi-colored star radiating from a central heart.
For Care Bears: Oopsy Does It! and Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot, she was redesigned. She now has pastel pink colored fur; and has a ponytail with bangs and wears a purple purse with a star on it, is portrayed as the same age and size as the other bears, and is cast as the reporter for Care-a-Lot's newspaper. She is also seen embracing cutting-edge technology in the new series, using a digital camera and a laptop with an always-on wireless network connection in the episode "Oopsy the Hero".
She is voiced by Maxine Miller in the second film and Nelvana TV series, and Louise Vallance in the new TV series, Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-lot.
