Plot

The series chronicles the adventures of Scaredy, an energetic squirrel, and his best friend Dave, a skunk. Their antics take place in fictional Balsa City, and often at the local supermarket the Stash "N" Hoard, where Scaredy works as a stacker.^[1]

Characters

Main characters

• Scaredy (voiced by Terry McGurrin) - A smart, germophobic, and occasionally shy squirrel who works as a stacker at a grocery store called Stash "N" Hoard and is fond of cleaning.
• Dave (voiced by Jonathan Gould) - Scaredy's best friend who is a blue skunk.
• Nestor (voiced by Patrick McKenna) - Nestor is a yellow canary who is the manager of Stash "N" Hoard. He is also Scaredy's boss and one of his enemies.
• Momma (voiced by Jayne Eastwood) - A grouchy pastel pink bird who owns the Stash "N" Hoard, and who is Nestor's mother. Momma makes surprise appearances at any time, and is fond of firing people.
• Paddy (voiced by David Berni) - A gray, egotistical ferret who is always making trouble for Scaredy.
• Richard - Richard is Scaredy's inanimate pet plant. Richard seems to be slightly sadistic as seen when he forces Scaredy to wear the "Hat of Pain".
• Sally (voiced by Linda Kash) - A turquoise trout who is deeply in love with Scaredy. Sally has lots of confidence and she thinks she and Scaredy could be a good couple, when in truth Scaredy is freaked out by her.
• Mildred (voiced by Jamie Watson) - A frog who works at the Stash "N" Hoard and seems to be Nestor's only friend. She is always seen drinking a bottle of soda and is constantly burping.
• Buck (voiced by David Berni) - A beaver who works at the Stash "N" Hoard. He is friends with Scaredy and Dave.
• Hatton (voiced by Dwayne Hill) - A donkey who works at the Stash "N" Hoard. He is friends with Buck, Scaredy and Dave.

Recurring and minor characters

• Millie (voiced by Laurie Elliott) - A strange cow that lives in Balsa City. Often seen dancing. She also licks Scaredy in his sleep.
• Philmore (voiced by Terry McGurrin) - An excited, nervous, fast-talking peacock who frequents the Stash "N" Hoard.
• Sue - A female version of Scaredy whom Scaredy has a crush on. She wears a green dress and has a pony-tail. She first appeared in the episode "Acting Silly", but also appears at the beginning of the theme song.
