The alpha bull at Casa de Campeones and archenemy to Ferdinand. He’s smart. Calculating. Knows how to get under your skin and into your head. He feels threatened by Ferdinand, not just because of his reputation and size, but because, deep down, Valiente knows that they are more alike than he would care to admit.

FERDINAND
The greatest matador in the long, storied history of Spanish bullfighting. Don’t worry if you can’t remember that. He’ll remind you. Frequently. Tall, lithe, and full of...flourish, he arrives at Casa de Campeones to select a bull for his final fight. He is the bestest of the best and has the best looking face of all the faces in all of Spain and quite possibly the world.
Nina is a little girl and Ferdinand’s best friend on the farm. She plays the guitar for him, plants flowers with him and eats breakfast with him. Nina has no fear of Ferdinand as she sees what the world does not -- his soul, a kind-hearted, sweet-natured innocent.

This emotionless bull has a square head and speaks only in moans and grunts. As with Ferdinand, though, appearances can be deceiving, and Maquina’s robotic nature hides a secret, heartfelt friendship with a bunny.

A Scottish bull with anger issues. He’s a got a short-temper, a thick accent and a vocabulary that no one can understand. His overgrown hair hangs like a curtain over his eyes, shielding him from many of life’s simple joys.

As a group, they dislike the bulls and consider themselves superior. But they get their comeuppance during a dance-off against the bulls.
