When he gets mad, he crosses his arms and taps his foot (however, he denies doing this).

Roosevelt, which is stated in the show to be where the term 'Teddy Bear' originates. He wears a navy blue vest and white collar. He is the leader of the teddy community.

• The Clean-up Crew - Three small teddy bears who belong to three energetic children. They're brown colored and usually seen in black suits and sunglasses (although, unlike other teddies, they only wear clothes when they're 'on duty'), and riding around in a toy gyrocopter with a bucket on a string hanging from it.

When she was a child, she tried to pilot a sailboat by herself but was knocked unconscious by the sail's boom when she steered it. Edgar steered the boat back to the dock in order to save her, but she regained consciousness and saw him. She told her friends her bear was alive but nobody believed her, and they began treating her like she was weird. Edgar saw how much this hurt her and admitted to her that teddies were alive, but it was a secret only she could know. She has kept this secret ever since, and her house is the only one that teddies can come and go as they please without having to hide or go teddy.
