Characters and Cast
The main character of Nina is played by Scottish actress Katrina Bryan. Nina wears either a white lab coat with brightly coloured cuffs and lapels in her lab, or one of a bright yellow coat or blue jacket when outside. In the programme, Nina drives either a pale blue 1970s Volkswagen Type 2 (Transporter) minibus or a New MINI, both bearing numberplates reading 'NINA', or rides a bicycle in the Go ECO! version.
The Neurons are computer animated characters (stylised with human facial features and body, but no legs) and are named to reflect the five senses which they represent:
Felix, voiced by James Dreyfus in the first series but subsequently by Lewis MacLeod represents touch. He speaks in a posh accent and is particular about his appearance.
Belle, voiced by Kelly Harrison represents hearing. She is loud and can be bossy.
Luke, voiced by Patrice Naiambana, represents sight and is the group leader. His character is laid back and relaxed.
Ollie, voiced by Siobhan Redmond represents smell. She is described as 'sweet, self assured and a bit of a goth.' She is the elder sister of Bud.
Bud, voiced by Sharon Small represents the taste neuron. He is the youngest Neuron and can be enthusiastic and easily excited.
Bud and Ollie are often chosen together by Nina due to the way taste and smell work together.

Famous quotes containing the words characters and/or cast:
“I have often noticed that after I had bestowed on the characters of my novels some treasured item of my past, it would pine away in the artificial world where I had so abruptly placed it.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“Such is the remorseless progression of human society, shedding lives and souls as it goes on its way. It is an ocean into which men sink who have been cast out by the law and consigned, with help most cruelly withheld, to moral death. The sea is the pitiless social darkness into which the penal system casts those it has condemned, an unfathomable waste of misery. The human soul, lost in those depths, may become a corpse. Who shall revive it?”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
