Linka closely studies bird life and therefore is extremely emotional when pollution or illegal hunting harms them (because she admired birds who were used in the mines to detect gas while growing up as a miner's daughter). Linka (Keisha) - From the Soviet Union (in later episodes stated as being from Eastern Europe after the Communist regime's collapse), Linka has the power of wind.In this series, he has a hot-headed temper and arrogant, rude and lazy sometimes. Wheeler is the third Planeteer to be summoned, and the main protagonist of the third season. Throughout the series, he openly flirts with and tries to get closer to Linka, almost always having his advances shot down. He is exceedingly the most street-smart of the group, yet, while having his heart in the right place, tends to get himself into tight spots when acting impulsively fittingly, he is sometimes a "hothead". He is shown to be the least knowledgeable about the planet preservation trends though this improves as the show goes on (in a way representing the oblivious aspect people have of the harm that they can cause to nature). Wheeler (Zach Effron) - From Brooklyn, New York, Wheeler controls the power of fire.Kwame is the first Planeteer to be summoned, and the main protagonist of the first season. He also acts as a kind of mentor to Ma-Ti. The de facto leader of the group, he is also the voice of reason that keeps the Planeteers in check when the group begins to lose faith in a given situation. In the episode "Talkin' Trash", he mentions that he never knew his father, hinting that his father died while Kwame was still very young. Growing up in a tribe in his homeland Africa, he is at one with the land and its purpose and does what he can to preserve it.
He has a soft spot for plant life, and even runs his own greenhouse on Hope Island. Kwame (Keiynan Lonsdale) - Hailing from Ghana, Africa, Kwame possesses the power of Earth.She is bound to the planet, and her health and well-being are connected with the condition of the planet.
She is omnipresent: she can appear in any time or place she wishes and can communicate telepathically with anyone at any point in time. Gaia lives on Hope Island, an island with large crystals in the middle of an ocean, although its exact location is never revealed. Awaking from a century-long slumber, and shocked with the increase in pollution of planet that has sustained in such a short (by her standards) time, she summons the Planeteers to defend the planet and gives them each an elemental ring.
