Balloon

Balloon is a gray and white tabby crossbreed cat and a member of the Pocketville Royal Guards. She is one of the main characters of the show.

Appearance
Balloon has short ears and a bushy tail. Her fur is long and gray with darker gray tabby stripes, a white muzzle, chest, and paws, and golden eyes. She wears a pink Royal Guard collar with fuchsia hearts on it.

Personality
Balloon, for the most part, is one clever cat. She can use her intelligence and feline instincts to find Magic Drops quite often and easily while the other guards go on with finding the Chosen Pet. However, she is also the most wary, careful, and even worrisome of the guards. At first, she was hesitant to trust Kate when she first arrived in Pocketville, but eventually as they came to know each other more and Kate passed all three trials, they struck a friendship. She is also cautious when going near a Magic Drop or Chosen Pet, watching out for Eva or any of her three lackeys if they try to sneak up on them or her.

She's also the most mysterious, solitary, and independent of the group, sometimes traveling by herself to explore the reaches of the Pocket Kingdom, but she has been known to be very friendly and helpful towards the other guards and even Kate and Magic. When the Royal Guards split up briefly during a quest, she would stick with Mela, with their task usually being to find a Magic Drop.

Balloon also often shows her agility and cunning wit, especially when dealing with Eva and her lackeys. She can even become sassy at times, such as when she snarks at Zull and Gort or even Eva herself.
