Characters edit
- Mila is a young blonde girl who often wears blue clothing. She is always seen with her magic pet, Morphle and is the leader in their adventures together.
- Morphle is the titular red rabbit-like magic pet who is Mila's pet, friend, and a bit of a sibling at times. His special ability is shape-shifting into anything. He has a high-pitched voice and refers to himself and others in the third-person. Even though he is described as Mila's pet, they are more like siblings/best friends.
- Jordie is a young boy and Mila's stepbrother. He happily goes along with Mila and Morphle’s adventures, even if it puts him outside of his comfort zone. He carries around a Magic Pet Primer, a tablet database full of information.
