List of The Worst Witch characters
Mildred Hubble is the titular character of "The Worst Witch" series. Unlike the other girls at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches, she doesn't come from a regular witch family, but was given a scholarship which greatly impressed Miss Cackle. She is best friends with Maud Spellbody and Enid Nightshade. In "The Worst Witch", although inadvertently ruining a broomstick formation flying display when she was given a sabotaged broomstick, she saves the whole academy from Miss Cackle's jealous and rebel-ish identical twin sister Agatha Cackle, who was seeking to turn all the teachers and pupils into frogs. In the nick of time, Mildred turns Agatha and the rest of her fiendish coven into snails.

Cyril is the toad whom Ethel Hallow uses her stolen animal-speaking spell on. However, Cyril is actually on Mildred's side and, as soon as Drusilla Paddock hides Einstein in the hollow pine tree, hops off to Mildred's room to tell her what had happened to Einstein. When on the rescue mission to save Einstein, Mildred sets Cyril free outside the school gates. He is not seen again after that.
