List of Franklin characters

Main characters

• Franklin Turtle - A green turtle who is the show's lead character. He's also a big brother. He takes good care of his pet goldfish, Goldie, and also has a stuffed dog named Sam who, despite growing older, he still hangs onto and communicates with. Franklin enjoys baseball, swimming and hockey. Bear is his best friend. He is capable of fully removing his shell as apparently all turtles in the show are; his shell is a combination of clothing and backpack. He wears a red baseball cap and neckerchief. He is one of the few people of Woodland to never have married twin sibling relatives, unlike some such as Fox and Goose. Noah Reid provided the voice of Franklin for the first five seasons of the television program. In the sixth season and the television movie, Back to School with Franklin, Cole Caplan voiced him. Cameron Ansell replaced Caplan as the voice in the U.S.-language version of the Franklin and the Turtle Lake Treasure film. Graeme Jokic is the character's regular voice in the spin-off Franklin and Friends.
• Bear - Franklin's best friend who is a brown bear. Bear is considered to be gifted; he is gentle, loyal and sensitive. Bear is one of the more mature characters of the show, such as times where he and Franklin are in the middle of a problem, Bear will try to resolve it with the truth, whereas Franklin would try to hide it. He has a large appetite, which earned him the derisive nickname "Snacks" in one episode. Bear can be described as very loyal to those few he considers his friends. Honesty and trust are also paramount with him, as in one episode he stops talking to Franklin for an excruciating amount of time after Franklin breaks a promise and spoils a secret. Bear is the strongest of Franklin's friends, and enjoys sports, particularly basketball. Beginning with the third season, Bear is usually seen wearing a blue vest unless he's swimming.

Often overly sure of herself, Beaver sometimes shows hints of bossiness, boisterousness, and narcissism, but is certainly one of the more intelligent of the group. Beaver is not overtly sarcastic, though, and being with her generally more kind-tempered friends helps to keep her abrasiveness in check. Beaver likes to say things and then end with the line "everybody" knows that. Beaver is a know it all and when referencing to teenagers she would be considered a Queen bee. She loves sports. Because of her personality, she can sometimes become self-conscious. She has buckteeth and can't help sometimes chewing on her pencils.

He likes to do things himself, if he can, and Snail can become annoyed if given assistance when he hadn't asked for help. However, Snail usually appreciates Franklin's help and they are very good friends, with a lot in common. Snail considers Franklin to be his best friend, even though Franklin generally considers his best friend to be Bear.
