Characters
- Chloe Corbin – The main character and protagonist in the series. She is a young Welsh girl with a big imagination. She's created her own imaginary world that she and her friends regularly use when playing dress-up and having adventures in a closet at her room, and has designs on being a historian. Chloe has a kind heart and is always up for adventure. Her catchphrases are "Lollipops!", "Pickles!", "Anything is possible in my world.", "Not in my world.", "They are in my world." and "Anything can happen in my world.".
- Lovely Carrot – A plush toy and security blanket that Chloe owns, and is her imaginary friend. He's a small yellow blanket, with a toy duck head attached. In Chloe's imaginary world, Lovely Carrot comes to life. He's always trying to help Chloe out and look after her, but he can be a bit of a klutz. He is a brave, friendly and gentle gentleman. His catchphrases are "No worries!" and "Flying feathers!".
- Tara Jansen – Chloe's best friend who is a red-headed Irish girl. Being half a year older than her friends, she considers herself to be older and wiser. Tara can be a bit bossy and usually tries to take charge on adventures. She never quite seems to get that that's Chloe's job, though.
- James "Jet" Horton – Chloe's British best friend who is male. He usually tries to turn play time towards more boyish games, but is always there to help her out. He has a crush on Danny.
- Daniela "Danny" Rylant – Chloe's tomboy friend who is Scottish. She prefers puddle jumping to playing with dolls. She's always up for an adventure, but can be a bit too competitive for her own good at times.
- Riley Harris – Chloe's friend who is a young British boy. He usually tries to turn play time towards more boyish games, but is always there to help her out.
- Lillian "Lil" McGwire – Chloe's friend who is Mac's older sister and Welsh. She loves more girly activities. She tends to criticize herself and sometimes needs to be convinced to give new things a try.
- Marcus "Mac" McGwire – Lillian's younger brother. He's still learning to talk, but usually manages to get the point across. Mac looks up to his sister and the two tend to get along fairly well.
- Carys Mozart – Chloe's new friend who is a Welsh girl and she likes ponies. She appears infrequently compared to everybody else in the series.
- Soggy – Chloe's toy frog.
- Wizz – Chloe's mechanical toy dog.
- Gina Corbin – Chloe's blonde haired mother who appears in some of the episodes.
