 * Christina "Chris" Phelps / Mitsuki Maeda (前田光輝 Maeda Mitsuteru) aka Cure Juggler (治療ジャグラー Chiryō jagurā) - She is very talented, but a little shy. Her father used to be a circus performer, so she gets her really good juggling skills from him.

Antagonists

 * Clown / Piero (ピエロ Piero) - An evil clown mastermind with a dark sense of humor that borders on more sadistic and psychopathic behavior as he thrives on darkness. At start of the series, he captured the fairies working in Circus Town. His goal is to drain the happiness out of Circus Town, and probably the rest of the world. He plots to turn most of the Circus Town fairies into his minions so he can take over the world.
 * Jester (ジェスター Jesutā) - Dynamic as his clownish appearance, Jester has a tendency to playfully break out in acrobatics and non sequiturs, but it is clear that his bouncy bearing belies a sadistic lover of destruction.
