| Occupation | Scribe |
| First Appearance | How Sagwa Got Her Colors |
Sagwa Miao (傻瓜 shǎguā, "silly melon") is the titular protagonist of the series. She is a Siamese kitten who lives in the palace of the Foolish Magistrate. She is the middle child of the Miao family. Her best friend is Fu-Fu and is also friends with Shei-Hu and Ping Wing.
Personality[]
Sagwa has a trait of the Miao Family of being good scribes. However, unlike her parents, Sagwa doesn't pass laws under the Foolish Magistrate's orders. Kind, curious, quick-thinking, creative, and sometimes a bit bossy (in "Sheegwa and the Blizzard," she monopolizes Sheegwa's toy and tells her to not forget her umbrella), she prefers to spend most of her time playing in the village or palace garden with Fu-Fu, Shei-Hu, several Alley Cats, and her siblings.
Sagwa is kind and occasionally offers advice to Sheegwa, but is also naive and extremely curious. It is revealed she met Fu-Fu when he saved her from an old pot full of dust. When he asked her what she was doing, she replied she was trying to see what was in the pot.
She is adventurous, resourceful, wise, curious, independent, and tolerant.
Appearance[]
Sagwa is pure white, but a story in "How Sagwa Got Her Colors" reveals her fur was dyed when she fell into a pot of ink, giving her typical Siamese markings on her tail, paws, and face.
Trivia[]
- Sagwa is voiced by Holly Gauthier-Frankel, who also voiced Lou-Lou from Wimzie's House, Tessa from The Triplets and Gertie and Gloria from The Little Lulu Show.
- Sagwa's Chinese name means "silly melon head" or "fool" (mostly "fool"). It is written as 儍瓜, rather than the more common 傻瓜
- Her Zodiac Symbol is the Dog.
- She is the first member in her family to receive her markings, even though it was originally an accident.
- Sagwa is the only kitten that appears in every episode of the series.
- Some earlier promotional images showed Sagwa wearing a different pink and magenta collar than her regular red and yellow collar.
- On two flash games (with the exception of the puzzle game) that were featured on the PBS Kids Sagwa webpage, Sagwa's voiced by an unknown voice actress (instead of Holly Gauthier-Frankel) and her voice sounded much older compared to the show.
