List of Care Bear characters

The Care Bears are a group of characters created by the U.S. greeting card company American Greetings in 1981. The title characters originally appeared in card artwork by Elena Kucharik, before branching out into various media and merchandise. The franchise launched in 1982 with ten title characters, and in 1984 added several more characters known as the Care Bear Cousins.

Each of the Care Bears and Care Bear Cousins has a "tummy symbol"—a picture or pattern that indicates the role or speciality of the character bearing it. Beginning with Care Bears: Oopsy Does It!, "tummy symbols" are sometimes referred to as "belly badges."

Secret Bear is a later addition to the Care Bears family and acts as a mime to the other members.

He keeps everything a secret, although there sometimes comes a circumstance in which he needs to communicate a message to the other bears, in which case he performs a hilarious display of charades and pantomime to get his message across.

Of course, this rarely works, and as a result he ends up having to bite the bullet and whisper into another bear's ear what he was trying to say.

With only occasional exceptions, he will only tell secrets to his partner, Friend Bear. Secret Bear was recently remodeled and can speak.

In Care Bears: Welcome to Care-a-Lot, Secret usually whispers when she talks, due to her secretive personality, and is usually seen with Thanks-A-Lot Bear.

Share Bear helps others to learn about sharing the things they have.

She shows that, through her symbol, sharing is caring. Her fur color is purple. Originally, Share Bear's tummy symbol was a pink heart-sprinkled ice cream soda with two straws.

In 2002, it was changed to two heart-shaped lollipops (one pink with a blue heart and stick, the other blue with a pink heart and stick), on the grounds that sharing milkshakes and smoothies can spread germs according to Play-Along-Toys. The decision was made after a Meningitis outbreak in the U.S. the previous year.

In the TV series Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot, she has short curly hair tied up with a pink clip and carries a pink purse full of lollipops to share with her fellow Care Bears.

Share Bear is the main character in the TV special, "Broken", where she wore a blue necklace with a pink heart charm, needed to fix Wingnut, and kept half the charm at the end, as well as the Care Bears movie, Care Bears: Share Bear Shines.

Share Bear is one of the main characters in Care Bears: Welcome to Care-a-Lot. In this series, Share Bear lives in the Forest of Feelings, and she's as sweet as the treats she serves at tea parties in her treehouse. She can communicate with everyone in Care-a-Lot, so she often solves misunderstandings with a kind word, or a sprinkling of Share Sugar. Her lollipops belly badge can make copies of good things, so there's more to share when she's around!

Dark Heart

Dark Heart is the main antagonist of the second Care Bears movie and arguably the Care Bears' most dangerous adversary. A demonic entity capable of taking many forms, Dark Heart's mission was to capture all the Care Bears and Care Cousins and spread his influence throughout the world.

Playing on the ambitions of a lonely girl named Christy at her summer camp, Dark Heart promised to make her more popular if she helped him capture the Care Bears. During one incident, Dark Heart lost his balance on a canoe and fell into the water, prompting Christy to pull him out. Startled that she would save him, Dark Heart continued on his mission but was still puzzled over the rescue.

Finally successful in capturing the Care Bears and Cousins, Dark Heart was confronted by Christy, her fellow campers John and Dawn, and the founders of the Care Bears/Cousins True Heart and Noble Heart. After seeing she was willing to lose her popularity to help her friends, Dark Heart took away what he gave her but warned her to run away and save herself. After a fierce fight, the Care Bears and Cousins were freed and Christy was knocked into a coma after successfully rescuing them. Overcome with remorse, Dark Heart begged the Bears to revive her. Uniting together, the Care Bears, Cousins, and John and Dawn chanted together, "We care!" even Dark Heart joined them until he completely lost his evil when Christy woke up. Vowing to do his part to spread caring and friendship in the camp, Dark Heart joined with Christy, John, and Dawn as a new member of the summer camp.

A notable feature of Dark Heart is his ability to shape-shift into various animals ranging from small animals like frogs and foxes, to large ones like dragons and rhinos. His most assumed form is that of an adolescent boy which is now his current form after he lost his evil.

No Heart
Voiced by	Chris Wiggins
In-universe information
Gender	Male
Family	Shreeky (niece)

An evil wizard who is pained by love and care, No Heart seeks to destroy all the feelings in the world. No Heart wears a magic amulet which gives him most of his power, including the power to shape-shift into animals. When he turns into any animal, he's revealed to have a mouth. No Heart lives in a dark castle in the matching storm clouds. Like many other fictional TV villains of the time, No Heart's obsession is world domination.

He wears a big purple hood and his face was never shown except for his eyebrows and red eyes (it was once mentioned that he can take it off any time he wants to).

His assistant is Beastly, a pig-like monster. No Heart often gets angry at Beastly for his repeated failures. One time, No Heart sent a demon to destroy the Care Bears and Care Bear Cousins, but Beastly thwarted it to keep his job. In later episodes, No Heart's niece Shreeky, a girl with purple and teal hair that has a magic mirror and a powerful shriek (hence the name), joins Beastly to help destroy the Care Bears, much to his chagrin. Whenever Beastly does something wrong, Shreeky shrieks or zaps him with her mirror. Shreeky always gets angry with Beastly because he is clumsy. Beastly and Shreeky often appear in Grams Bear's stories as different villains.

No Heart also has an army of Sinister Shadows that roam around his castle. The Shadows are usually sent to help No Heart to rob someone of their feelings, but the Shadows are easily driven away by the Care Bears Stare.

No Heart was usually a dark and serious character, but in one episode, where Beastly was covered in Caring Crystals (as a result of a botched mission), he and Shreeky ran around the castle as Beastly tried to hug them. In the episode "I, Robot Heart" It was revealed that No Heart was born on Friday the 13th and is more than 200 years old.

He is capable of transforming into a variety of animal forms, such as a rhinoceros, bull, bat, vulture, tiger, and crocodile.

In the episode entitled "Bravest of the Brave", No Heart teams up with a villain named Dr. Fright in order to destroy Care Bears, but in the end, both of them fail. In the episode "Grams Bear's Thanksgiving Surprise" an evil baker named Sour Sam tries to one-up No Heart by making anyone who eats his pies grouchy, but he also lost to the Care Bears.

During the Care Bears episodes that take place on a spaceship called the SS Friendship, No Heart appeared as an Emperor of the Space Pirates, while in episodes which were set in prehistoric times, he made some appearances as a Noheartosaurus (a T-rex-like dinosaur).

In the Polish translation of the Care Bears cartoon he is named Kamienne Serce which literally translates to "Stone Heart", whereas in the Portuguese, he is named Coração Gelado, which means "Cold Heart". In Finnish his name is Noita Sydämetön, which means "A heartless witch". In German his Name is Meister Herzlos which translates as "Master Heartless". In French his name is Cœur Dur, which means "Hard Hearth".
