Alfred Hedgehog, voiced by Carolina Bartczak, appears in every episode as the leader of the group. He has green eyes and wears a white long-sleeved shirt under a blue t-shirt with cream-coloured khaki cropped pants. He carries a smartphone device called a Detectaberry and uses clues to solve mysteries related to the natural world or science. His catchphrase is, "This is serious mysterious!"
He can be cynical when his team jumps to conclusions or deals with Cynthia. Lily Hedgehog, voiced by Gracie Orr, is Alfred's younger sister with low pigtails decorated in red bows. She helps collect clues and is a skilled painter who sells her paintings and enters art contests. Mrs. Hedgehog, voiced by Claudia Besso, wears a ponytail tied in a hairband and owns the family house.
