Blue
Blue, the star of Blue’s Clues, is a girl puppy who communicates to Steve and Joe through barks (which they understand!). During every episode, she initiates a game of Blue’s Clues in which she leaves three paw-print clues for Steve or Joe and the viewer to find. Once they find them, they must figure out together what Blue wants to do!

Steve
Steve is the host of Blue’s Clues for its first four seasons. He lives in an animated world, and is Blue’s caregiver. He is always ready to play Blue’s Clues, and needs the viewers’ help to figure out problems and find clues. Steve loves anything that is green-striped – just like his shirt!

Joe
Joe is Steve’s brother. When Steve leaves for college on a hopscotch scholarship, Joe stays with Blue and becomes the host of the show. Joe loves squares, just like the ones on his shirt, and he can never wait to play a game of Blue’s Clues.

Sidetable Drawer
Sidetable Drawer lives in the living room, to the left of the Thinking Chair. She usually has a telephone on top of her. Sidetable Drawer is the keeper of Steve’s Handy Dandy Notebook.

Magenta
Magenta is Blue’s best friend from school. She looks exactly like Blue, except she is the color magenta and has magenta-colored spots. Magenta likes photography and making macaroni picture frames.

Salt & Pepper Family
Mr. Salt, Mrs. Pepper, and their daughter, Paprika, live in the kitchen. Mr. Salt & Mrs. Pepper are from Paris and are cooks. Paprika is still a baby. She drinks from a bottle, and has a pacifier and a baby gummy teddy bear.

Mailbox
Mailbox lives at the foot of the pathway in front of Blue’s house. He sits on a post, and gets the mail. When he delivers the mail, he comes in through the living room window on an “extendo” arm. Mailbox fancies himself quite the comedian.

Pail & Shovel
Pail and her brother, Shovel, live in the backyard at Blue’s house. They love to talk and giggle, and they can often be found building sandcastles in the sand table.
