Characters

Jo Misra (voiced by Sauvane Delanoë in French and Ciara Janson in English) is the 12-year-old daughter of George Kirrin. Like her mother, she is a tomboy and prefers a masculine form of her name; her full name is Jyothi, a Hindi word meaning light. She is of Anglo-Indian heritage, and her father Ravi was met by George in the Himalayas. Max Kirrin (voiced by Hervé Grull in French and Jon Lee in English) is the 13-year-old son of Julian Kirrin, an adrenaline junkie who enjoys mountain biking and skateboarding. Allie Campbell (voiced by Alexandra Pic in French and Kelly Metzger in English) is the 12-year-old daughter of Anne Kirrin, who moved to California after university and became an art dealer. Allie, born in California before moving to Falcongate, is a happy shopaholic who uses her cellphone to stay in contact with America. Dylan Kirrin (voiced by Alexandre Nguyen in French and Lizzie Waterworth in English) is the 11-year-old son of Dick Kirrin, a fan of gadgets and aspiring entrepreneur who looks for ways to make money. Timmy the Dog (vocal effects by Justin Fletcher in English) is the trusty pet; in French he is called Dagobert. Dane and Blaine Dunston are spoiled, pampered neighbours of the same age who typically face comeuppance but have teamed up with the five on occasion.
