• Emma Gilbert, who is the more reasonable, and responsible among her friends at times, and former synchronized swimmer. After becoming a mermaid, Emma gains the ability to freeze water. She is voiced by Eleanor Noble.
• Cleo Sertori, who is a shy girl that is very interested in studying marine biology. After becoming a mermaid, Cleo gains the ability to control water. She has romantic feelings for Lewis. She is voiced by Sonja Ball.
• Lewis McCartney, a tech-savvy young man who is close friends with the girls, and has a crush on Cleo. He helps the girls out on their adventures, from distraction to technical support. He is voiced by Daniel Brochu.
