Margaret Rosenblatt (played by Dana Delany) is a protagonist in Firebreather. Margaret Rosenblatt is a human woman and Duncan's mother. During the final battle between humans and the Kaiju, she confronts Belloc and falls in love with him, leading him to abandon his attack. Years later, she moves with Duncan, supports his desire for a normal life, and helps Jenna seek Belloc's aid when Duncan is endangered. Duncan Rosenblatt (played by Jesse Head) is a protagonist in Firebreather. Duncan Rosenblatt is the half-human, half-Kaiju protagonist and Belloc's son. Fearing rejection at his new school, he struggles with his powers, friendships, and feelings for Jenna. After accepting his heritage, Duncan protects his friends, refuses to kill opposing Kaiju, saves Barnes, and begins flying with newly manifested wings. Kenny Rogers (played by Dante Basco) appears in Firebreather. Kenny Rogers is one of Duncan's fellow outcasts and becomes his friend at school. He learns about Duncan's Kaiju heritage through Isabel and later feels jealous when Duncan receives romantic attention from her. At the dance, Kenny's accusation that Isabel only likes Duncan because of Belloc's identity indirectly contributes to Jenna discovering the truth. Barnes (played by Reed Diamond) appears in Firebreather. Barnes, also known as Blitz, is an agent of M.E.G.T.A.F. working undercover as a gym teacher at Duncan's school. After discovering Duncan's ability to breathe fire, he takes him to Dr. Pytel and later investigates the Kaiju lair with him. Barnes is endangered during the attack, but Duncan saves him from falling off a cliff. Principal Dave / Troy's Dad (voice) (played by Gary Anthony Williams) appears in Firebreather. Principal Dave / Troy's Dad is the adult connected to Troy's school and home life. He discovers Troy is out while grounded and drags him home from the party, interrupting Troy's attempt to speak with Jenna about Duncan. The role therefore helps enforce Troy's punishment and affects the tense social situation among the students. Isabel (voice) (played by Tia Texada) appears in Firebreather. Isabel is Duncan's Kaiju-obsessed classmate and fellow outcast, who develops a crush on him. She tells Kenny about Belloc and Duncan, then exaggerates Duncan's role in saving everyone, making him popular at school. Isabel tries to approach Duncan romantically, but her hopes are complicated by his growing relationship with Jenna and Kenny's jealousy. Jenna (voice) (played by Amy Davidson) appears in Firebreather. Jenna is a popular student and Duncan's romantic interest, as well as Troy's ex-girlfriend. She begins forming a friendship with Duncan before learning that her father's death is a sensitive subject. Duncan invites her to Homecoming, but a misunderstanding drives her away until she realizes he gave her the red crystal, after which she apologizes to him. Troy (played by Josh Keaton) appears in Firebreather. Troy is Jenna's ex-boyfriend and Duncan's early school rival. He tries to expose Duncan while also dealing with punishment from his father after leaving home while grounded. Although Troy antagonizes Duncan, he is later elected Homecoming King alongside Jenna, remaining part of the social conflict surrounding Duncan's relationship with her.
