Bernadette Hedgehog

Bernadette Hedgehog, or Bernie for short, is the mother of Sonic the Hedgehog, wife of Jules Hedgehog, and sister-in-law of Charles Hedgehog. Bernie was one of the Students of Nate Morgan along with Charles and future husband Jules (with whom she debated with and won all the time). Both Bernie and Jules were agents of King Acorn's special forces during the great war. When Jules was injured, she was devastated, but hope was still alive when Charles attempted to use his invention the roboticizer to heal Jules. Unbeknownst to the both of them, Warlord Julian tampered with the machine and took away Jules free will. After Charles left in disgrace, Bernie was all alone to take care of her newborn son. When Bernie found out that Julian was using Jules for labwork, she confronted him. As it turns out, Bernie had been roboticized by Robotnik, aided by the roboticized Jules. When Charles came looking for her, Julian lied and said that Bernie was fooling around with the roboticizer and ended up her current state, adding on to Charles' grief.

Ten years later, Charles learned the truth after having his will liberated by Sonic. Restoring Bernie and Jules' wills, he formed a secret resistance among roboticizer victims. Bernie reunited with Sonic, and was quick to accept that in her absence Sonic had grown up. Like most of the Mobians, Bernie was de-roboticized by Ceneca 9009, and since then has lived in Knothole and later New Mobotropolis, providing important moral support to the Freedom Fighters.
