MAIN CHARACTERS
There are a lot of characters but the most important ones you should know are:
The Powerpuff Girls
The Powerpuff Girls are a fictional trio of three super-powered five-year-old girls. Within the storyline, they were created using "sugar, spice, and everything nice" with and accidentally added Chemical X to the concoction, which gave the girls superpowers. Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup's character design lacks thumbs and fingers, which most other characters on the show have.
Blossom
"the smart one" and self-proclaimed leader of the Powerpuff Girls. Her signature color is pink, and she has red hair worn in a ponytail. Blossom also wears a heart hairclip and a big red bow. She was named for having spoken freely and honestly to the Professor shortly after her creation. She is often seen as the most mature, level-headed and composed member of the group, though she can be fussy, overbearing, vain and overly analytical at times. She tends to "parent" Bubbles and Buttercup, and often tries to play peacemaker between the two if they fight (though she is very quick to argue with Buttercup). In the episode "Ice Sore", she showed the ability to blow ice, and at the end, blow fire. However, even though Blossom said her ice breath was "all used up", she has been seen using it frequently in the later episodes. Blossom is the only one of her sisters that doesn't have short hair, her hair is much longer then her sisters. When she is a teenager her hair grows even longer than when she was young, and her bow is replaced by a ribbon.
Buttercup
"the tough one". Her signature color is light green, and she has black hair in a Dido flip. She was named "Buttercup" because it begins with the letter "B" like her sisters, much to her displeasure. She is a tomboy and is easily enraged. Sometimes her aggression gets the better of her, making her reckless and stubborn. She possesses a mean and somewhat vindictive streak not shared by her sisters. She has, however, shown a softer side in several episodes. For example, in the episode "Cover Up", she had a soft green blanket that she was obsessed with that she would hug that gave her the confidence to be a better fighter, and she is quite protective over her sisters. She hates baths and loves getting dirty. Buttercup is the only Powerpuff Girl without special powers (Blossom has her ice breath, and Bubbles has a gift of languages), although in "Nuthin' Special", it is revealed that Buttercup is the only Powerpuff Girl (and Townsville citizen) who can curl her tongue. It was shown in the episode "Speed Demon" that Buttercup can fly slightly faster than her sisters. Buttercup can be a mean person to her sisters but on the inside she is jealous of her sisters because Blossom is smart and plays peacemaker, and she thinks she's not cute as Bubbles, but she will protect them if they're in danger seen in the episode Buttercrush.
Bubbles
"the cute one.". Her signature color is baby blue, and she has blond hair worn in bunches. She was named for her cute and bubbly personality. She tends to act like the baby of the group, despite being the same age. Her best friend is a stuffed octopus doll she calls "Octi". She exhibits the ability to both understand foreign languages (Spanish, Japanese) and communicate with various animals (squirrels, cats, monsters), and she also shows the ability to emit a sonic scream ( in the episode "Hot Air Buffoon"). She also can spit fire as seen in the episode 'Simian Says.' She will always stand up for (and cuddle with) animals except cockroaches, which she (along with her sisters) finds "icky". She displays and is defined by innocence, playfulness and gentle demeanor, having a tendency to be naive, ditzy, submissive, timid and sensitive. She is also more emotionally attached to her father figure, Professor Utonium. That leads to her often being regarded, by friends and foes alike, as the group's weak link, but she can become very independent and aggressive when pushed, however, and among the girls, she is most feared by Mojo Jojo after having single-handedly taken him down in a fit of rage in the episode "Bubblevicious". But Bubbles, like her male counterpart Boomer, she can be dim-witted at times and sometimes have a loud-mouth. She seems to love everything cute even she thinks Boomer's cute. In the Chowder (TV series), after Mung Daal tastes a sugar sapphire, his face turns into Bubbles, only saying "Sweet!", and his head turns back to normal.
Mojo Jojo
A mad scientist chimp with great intelligence, who speaks in a convoluted, repetitive manner of speaking. Mojo Jojo was Professor Utonium's reckless lab assistant, Jojo, before Professor Utonium created the Powerpuff Girls, and it was Jojo who caused the Professor to accidentally add Chemical X to the mixture. He is the archenemy of the Powerpuff Girls; the reason he hates the girls so much is out of jealousy of the affection they received from the Professor that he did not. He has green skin, pink whites in his eyes, a huge, exposed brain under his hat caused by the explosion that created the girls, and wears white gloves and boots, a blue suit with a white belt, and a long, wavy, purple cape. Despite his high intelligence, he is known for planning his schemes badly. He also played a paternal role to the girls in The Powerpuff Girls Movie, in which he and the girls were treated as outcasts, though this was to manipulate them into helping him become the villain he is now. His catchphrase is "Curses!".
