'''Caprice Haley Zinn''' (herself, voiced by Ava Zinn) - Caprice is the cat Ava adoped from the then-[[wikipedia:Allen County, Indiana|Allen County]] SPCA (now Humane Fort Wayne) shelter in February 2021.  

'''Gabriella Lauren "Ella" Zinn''' (herself, voiced by Ava Zinn) - Ella is the dog Ava adopted in March 2021 and has lived with Ava since.

'''Aeverine Frathleen "Ava" Zinn''' (herself) - Ava is the patriarch of the household and the primary [[wikipedia:protagonist|protagonist]] who is a film/TV producer/director as well as broadcast jounralist and is a retired webmaster.. She is the significant other of Breeanna, father of Samantha (1993-2020), Thomas (1997-2006), Tiffani (1999-2021), Sheryl (1999-2009), Tabitha (2003-2018), Baby Kenny (2015-2018), and Sierra Sorensen (2023-), paternal grandfather of Alisan, and maternal grandfather of Michael II and Leah as well as being the owner of Caprice and Ella. Ava is also the aunt of Albert's children Michael I "Weasel", Leanna, Shayla, and Reneé as well as grandaunt of Clarissa. Ava's enthusiasm for her career is not usually shared by other characters in the series. Several episodes show Ava escaping from her troubled home life by working on her home when times are tough. Ava has been compared to [[Ava Willis (Queen of the Willis)|Ava Willis]], the transgendered wife of [[Angie Willis (Queen of the Willis)|title character]] on Zinn's earlier series ''[[Queen of the Willis]]''. Throughout ''Caprice & Ella''{{'}}s run, Ava's personality appears to primarily be built around the image of the all American, authoritarian family transwoman. She is set in her ways and generally afraid of taking risks, but generally a good person. Ava is a product of a bygone era - always faithful, friendly, firm, reasonable, well-read, and hard-working. Much of the series revolves around Ava's desire to do the right thing compared to much of the rest of the people around her who would rather cheat, lie or exploit; however, the people who try to take advantage of Ava tend to regret it because Ava is tougher and a lot shrewder than they thought. Although she is traditionally conservative in her attitude, in how she dislikes change and novel situations, she can adapt to them quite well, quickly mastering unfamiliar social milieus. She can be pushed too far on occasion, usually by her cat Caprice, her dog Ella, her neighbors and (to a lesser extent) friends [[Karly Jameson]], [[Rachael Passalt]], and [[Donna Doogan]]. A running joke throughout the series is an angry Ava yelling "I'm gonna kick your ass!" This is just a threat; she rarely, if ever, harms anyone, though she has literally kicked at least two people in the posterior out of anger (Harmony Bokamp in ''[[Caprice & Ella: The Movie]]''). Ava's honesty and naivety often get her in unpredictable and troublesome situations. Ultimately, Ava cares for the people around her, particularly her family and friends and is always out to do what is right. One characteristic that Ava shows is when she lies to someone, she turns her head or looks around the room. Her favorite sports team is the [[wikipedia:Indianapolis Colts|Indianapolis Colts]] (though she rarely expresses much interest in the NBA and Major/Minor League Baseball teams in the Fort Wayne and Indianapolis areas) though she has indicated that being a [[wikipedia:Chicago Bears|Chicago Bears]] fan wasn't out of the question because they aren't in the same NFL conference as Indianapolis and would only require any rooting interest decisions if the Colts and Bears somehow faced each other in a Super Bowl, which was the case in [[wikipedia:Super Bowl XLI|Super Bowl XLI]]. Ava is a proud Hoosier, having grown up in Van Buren, Indiana. She was, however, born a boy in and spent the first ten months of her life in the [[wikipedia:Chicago|Chicago]] suburb of [[wikipedia:Worth, Illinois|Worth, Illinois]].
