Aaron franchise
AMTM’s flagship of flagships.

“Core 6” characters

 * Aaron. According to Ellen Peck: "the everyman in feline form". Mascot of the Argosy TV animation studio as a whole, and (along with Gussy Goat, Mimsie the Kitten, and Mitchell van Morgan) is one of 4 "flagship characters" of the ArgosyMTM Group conglomerate. Despite being 14 (or at least in early high school), he's still a kid at heart, and (when not hanging out with friends or family) enjoys playing video games. Modeled on a British Shorthair/Russian Blue hybrid. Voiced by Ellen Peck herself in the original show, and Crystal Stainton in the reboot.
 * Sam. Sam was technically one of the first non-binary characters in a TV show (Ellen kept their gender unclear so that kids of either gender viewing the show could project themselves onto them). Likes watching TV, and is also into weird conspiracy theories. On Robert Stainton’s Rotanimation model sheets, their gender is listed simply as “Spayed/Neutered”. Modeled on a ginger Rumpy Manx. Voiced by Vickey Pugh.
 * Sally/Salli. Aaron’s girlfriend. Her name is spelled differently in the US (with a Y) and the UK (with an I); this was allegedly done so that ITV could trademark it. Very feminine, and likes almost anything traditionally considered "girly", including shopping, cheerleading, and home ec; also into swimming. Modeled on a mixed-breed shorthair calico. Voiced by Sandra Pryor.
 * Clairdelune (or Clair). Aaron's female cousin. Likes stargazing, astrology, astronomy, and outer space in general. Modeled on a black cat with curved ears. Voiced by Katie Belshaw.
 * Koko (湖子). Token little kid of the core characters; Aaron’s adoptive younger sister from Japan. Her real parents died in a car accident 5 years ago. Quite tomboyish, likes playing sports (especially soccer), and is almost never seen without her bubblegum-pink rollerskates. Modeled on a Japanese Bobtail calico show cat. Voiced by Nozomi Nishizaka.
 * Sarah. Token human and the descendant of the 80s animated Sarah from "Revenge of Sarah", herself a descendant of the 60s/70s live-action Sarah. Like these Sarahs before her, she wants revenge on the whole world for unclear reasons. (However, she gets along well with most of the talking cats.) Unlike these Sarahs, she is much more of a trickster, and likes playing pranks on people. Homeschooled. Has blonde hair and fair skin like the 80s Sarah. Voiced by Ellen Peck herself in the original show, and Alasy Bakery in the reboot.

Other kid characters

 * Nicole (or Nikki). Koko’s BFF, allegedly meant to be "blackish". Likes science and doing experiments, and was allegedly conceived as basically "girl cat Jason Fox". Modeled on a brown Burmese cat. Has had more exposure in recent years, to the point of becoming an unofficial 7th core character. Voiced by Rachel Genovese.
 * Mute. One of Aaron and Sam’s friend group; a deaf-mute character resulting from an idea suggested by a highly-intoxicated Nathan Blake. Good at solving mysteries, and knows "3 kinds of sign language". Modeled on an odd-eyed white Turkish Van. Doesn’t need a voice actor; he’s mute. (When he does make noises, they're real-life cat noises, recorded at a local SPCA adoption centre.)
 * Nathan. One of Aaron and Sam’s friend group; Nicole’s older brother. Quite smart and good at all subjects in school; can read a whole encyclopedia in 5 minutes. Modeled on a brown Burmese cat. Voiced by Margaret Søndergaard, an acquaintance of Robert Stainton.
 * Nanette. Rich French kid who attends “Tower Academy” and one of Koko’s sports teammates. Greedy, likes money, and is also into ritual magick. Has a friendly rivalry with Koko. Modeled on a chocolate-point Siamese, but has purple eyes (a symptom of "Alexandria's Genesis", a rare genetic mutation within the greater Argosyverse). Voiced by Angel Johnson, one of the child actresses from Rob Stainton’s live-action-hybrid cable-access show that introduced Rotanimation to the world, Jeff Jones.
 * Raine. One of Sally/Salli's younger sisters. Likes meteorology and the Weather Channel: dislikes pianos (it's a long story). Modeled on a mixed-breed shorthair calico. Voiced by Eva Echohawk - another former Stainton colleague.
 * Amelia. Cheerleading squad captain. Has a single-track mind: obsessed with being the best cheerleader. Modeled on Sandstorm from the G1 Warrior Cats series. Voiced by Katie Belshaw.
 * Alexis, Tiffany, and Taylor. Part of the cheerleading squad with Amelia and Sally/Salli. Interchangeable; even less personality than Amelia. Modeled on various mixed-breed cats. All voiced by Katie Belshaw.
 * Kimberly and Tallulah. Sally/Salli’s interchangeable gal-pals. Both of them are basically copycats of Sally/Salli, the only difference being Tallulah is shown to be a vegan. Modeled on a tortoiseshell cat (Kimberly) and a brown torbie cat (Tallulah). Both voiced by Ellen Peck herself in the original show, and Juanita Brayton in the reboot.
 * Ariana. Aaron’s insane/incompetent/psychotic twin sister; the closest thing to an antagonist in the show, mainly towards Koko, or as she calls her, “Fake Sister”.

Modeled on a British Shorthair/Russian Blue hybrid. Voiced by Randi Boswell.

 * Melissa. Clair's younger sister and another one of Koko and Nicole's friends. Likes reading books; hates watching movies. Modeled on a black cat with curved ears. Voiced by Karlissa Hegar.

 * Gabriel. Another token male of Koko’s friend group. Likes telling ghost stories to freak out his friends. Modeled on an albino Siamese. Voiced by Katie Belshaw.
