The plot of the first season begins with Sora Naegino arriving in America full of hope as she is to audition for Kaleido stage, but she immediately begins to encounter troubles as she finds herself meeting weird people and has her bag stolen. A kind police officer gives her a ride to Kaleido Stage where she finds she has missed her audition. A performer is injured, however and Sora is given an opportunity to perform.
Sora spends the beginning of the season as an outcast, as the other performers believe that she had relations with the director to gain her position. Layla, the star of the show in the story, is particularly cold towards the new recruit. With the help of a friend, Ken, and a lot of hard work and determination, Sora begins to earn the respect of those around her. Her incredible personality wins her a variety of friendships (including that of a baby seal) as well as several increasingly major roles in the productions. However, things begin to go astray as Layla's father pressures her to leave and insiders plot to take over and shut down Kaleido Stage. Sora must rely on her winning personality, hard work and close friendships to keep the stage afloat.
In the second season Sora returns to the stage after attempting the great Mystical Act with Layla. The absence of her co-star, having retired to further a career in Broadway productions, prompts a slight decline of the Kaleido Stage. The owner brings in a new recruit, Leon Oswald (a lofty trapeze artist). Leon does not accept Sora as worthy of being on the stage with him, which leads a new recruit (May Wong) to challenge Sora's position as Leon's partner. Most of the season concentrates on Sora finding and pursuing her new dream. Her first goal is to attend the circus festival in Paris, but the competitive circuit is not kind to her carefree, optimistic outlook. After many trials and rejections Sora aims to become a "True Kaleido Star" while creating a fun, conflict-free stage.
Sora is the main character of Kaleido Star. Her parents took her to Kaleido Stage when she was young. Although they died shortly thereafter, and Sora went to live with her aunt and uncle, Sora is inspired by this childhood memory to become a member of the Stage when she reaches adulthood. With her aunt and uncle's hesitant approval she travels to the United States to audition. While she wanders around lost, her bag is stolen. As a consequence of chasing the thief and speaking to the police, she is late to the audition; Layla will not allow her to audition, but the owner gives her a chance to perform in the actual show. Most of the cast do not accept Sora at first because of the special circumstances through which she joins; Sora wins them over with persistence and hard work along with a magnetic personality. In the beginning of the series Sora is the only one who can see the magical stage spirit Fool. This character reveals she has been chosen by the stage. In the first season, Fool reveals only she can perform the Legendary Great Manuvor with Layla. In the second, he reveals that she has the potential to become a "true star".
Layla is an accomplished and seasoned performer. She is a stubborn character and plays an antagonist-like role in the beginning of the story, but like many of the other characters, she befriends Sora. Layla is the daughter of Mr. Hamilton, a wealthy hotel chain owner; he would prefer Layla to be an actress and is frequently trying to push her into doing so. Layla eventually stands up to her father and rejoins the circus; she loves the Kaleido Stage because she clearly remembers how her deceased mother enjoyed going there. At the end of the first season, after attempting the great Mystical Act and seriously injuring her shoulder Layla gives up the circus and retires to Broadway.
Mia is a close friend of Sora's. In the second episode, Mia accepts Sora's presence on the stage after Sora attempts to perform the Golden Phoenix. Later in the series, Mia becomes passionate about writing the scripts for Kaleido Star's performances. She occasionally has inner conflicts between performing and attending to her sick grandmother.
Anna is also good friend of Sora's. She too accepts Sora in the Golden Phoenix episode. Anna is talented in many areas and frequently plays more serious parts. Anna truly wishes to perform comedy and usually tries to get Mia to write comedy into her parts. The request is almost always denied. Anna takes her love of comedy from her estranged father Jack, a stand-up comedian.
Yuri, like Layla, is an experienced performer. During a flashback, it's revealed that his father died attempting the Mystical Act, and he never forgave Kalos for letting his father try. He plays a pivotal role in the second half of the first season when he betrays the stage, first by stealing away a good portion of the cast and later by buying out the stage and taking control of it. He later agrees to return it to Kalos if Layla and Sora accomplish the same Mystical Act that caused his father's death, and when they manage to do so he fulfills his promise. In the second season, Yuri helps Sora get into the Circus Festival in Paris. He appears to be a bitter rival of Leon's, and feels that he is responsible for Leon's sister's death.
Fool is the mysterious spirit of the stage. He is about the size of an action figure, and appears as a type of jester or clown. He appears to Sora shortly before she appears on the Kaleido Stage for the first time. Fool is invisible to everyone but those who are destined to do great things on the stage and/or whose heart is completely dedicated to the stage. Although a ghost, Fool is a pervert who tries many times throughout the series to see Sora, and sometimes her friends, naked (usually by suggesting that they should take a shower). Sora is quick to prevent Fool from peeking in any given situation by trapping him somewhere or rebuking him forcefully, most often in a comedic, slapstick fashion. Later in the first season, Layla becomes capable of seeing Fool as well; the same happens to Rosetta at the end of the second season. In his more useful moments, he acts as a fortune teller, revealing possible futures to Sora (in the first season he reads the future from Tarot cards, in the second season he reads and reveals the hidden workings of intercharacter relationships via Astrology). He is also the one who explains the inner mechanics of the Mystical Act to Layla and Sora in episode 25, An Amazing Bond.
Sarah is the diva of Kaleido Stage as well as the building manager for the dorms where everyone lives. Many want Sarah to sign on record label because she is so gifted in the singing department but she stays true to Kaleido stage. She is an avid fan of the martial arts, and frequently proposes bizarre alternative methods to help Sora achieve her objectives. She's well acquainted with Kalos and has been with the Stage from the beginning, when she and Kalos were performing on the street with another friend. This friend returns once to try to persuade Sarah to leave Kaleido Stage with offering her a singing career, but she refuses.
Leon is a trapeze performer who arrives in the second season. He comes off as arrogant, refusing to perform with Sora because she is not skilled enough for him. His true desire, however, lies in a promise he made to his dying sister Sophie: to see the Angel's Act, an unrivaled and beautiful trapeze act they had developed, completed. He's a rival of Yuri Killian, whom he blames for the death of Sophie in an accident.
