The court jester and romantic lead of the story. Boyish and nimble, he works with Verity to help expose Stitch and Sew.

The Emperor of the land, he is well-endowed with clothes. Stitch and Sew trick him into wearing "invisible clothes" for his royal procession. Lovable and gullible with an elegant, light, comedic touch.

The Empress of the land, with much less clothes than her husband. Learning to play the trumpet. Brassy with a down-to-earth quality, but also kind and lovable.

The Prime Minister and villain of the story, who pilfers and schemes to become the next Emperor. Crafty, arrogant, and acts with great style.

In charge of the Emperor's wardrobe. Stuffy and officious.

In charge of the inventory of the Emperor's wardrobe. Has a bit of a foppish touch.

The royal announcer. He proclaims the entrances and other announcements of the Court in a comically stentorian manner.

The con artist of his day. He is the more educated member of his partnership with Mr. Sew. Pretends to be a tailor to swindle the Emperor. Fast-paced with mesmerizing gestures and keen wit.

Mr. Stitch's counterpart, he is the lackey of their partnership. Gentle and vulnerable to try and keep pace with Stitch.

A beautiful scullery maid and the female romantic lead of the story. An orphan, she dreams of being a princess. Honest with a bit of naiveté.

Members of the court and townspeople.
