Animation style

This series employs a comic style, different from its predecessor, Totally Spies!, which uses American "anime" style. However, it still uses over-expressive faces and scenes like Totally Spies!. The style of "WOOHP-ing" the spies is no different than in Totally Spies. The location of the Clark house is not yet specified, but there are a lot of WOOHP buildings, so they could live in any city. The spies' school is called Southdale Jr. High.

Lee

• Lee Clark: Lee is 13 years old and considered the strongest one. He is athletic and the most powerful spy in the group. While his two brothers share funny and immature traits, Lee is part big brother/part father figure. Nothing is more important than his siblings that he would do anything to protect them. His spy suit and his MPCom are red. He is also the jet pilot and claustrophobic. In his normal appearance, Lee has auburn colored hair that seems to be in the style of a flat top. He has pale blue (sometimes grey) eyes, wears a red short sleeved shirt with a white "W" on it, burgundy colored pants, red shoes, a red and white wrist band, and in the episode "Operation Dare Devil" he gets braces. He is currently working at Siber Smoothie. Lee is in the 8th grade and is extremely ticklish. He is voiced by Andrew Sabiston

Megan

• Megan Clark: Megan is an optimistic and highly energetic 12 year old girl.She always hangs out with her brothers. She usually cracks up at jokes that are not funny at all, but she does make snarky and sarcastic remarks. She often says puns but always notes that her puns are not intended. She is often reminded by her brothers that she is 'just a girl', but this pushes her to be even more competitive. Her spy suit and MPCom are pink. She sometimes switches places with Lee as the jet pilot. Megan is almost the spitting image of Alex from the original series, Totally Spies! She is in the seventh grade like Marc. Growing up with 3 brothers made her more of a tomboy. In her normal appearance, Megan has black hair that's swept up in the backside (almost like Alex's). She has green eyes and wears a pink hoodie that comes down to the middle of her stomach,white leggings, and pink shoes with fuchsia pink pom-poms on them. Her dark skin is probably from her aunt Trudy who is seen with a dark complexion and hair color from her father. On TV, she wears pink, and on the Internet (such as Youtube) she wears purple. Megan is the second oldest along with her fraternal twin, Marc. She is voiced by Alyson Court

Marc

• Marc Clark: Marc is the smartest one in the group at 12 – and WOOHP. As proven in episode WOOCSI-, much like Sam, His intelligence is sometimes considered freaky by his siblings. He calls himself the 'Family Geek'. He has the knowledge of every single subject known to man, but -like most geeks- cannot get a date. He likes to fiddle around with the gadgets and change their functions. His spy suit and his MPCom are blue. Sometimes he switches places with Lee or Megan as the jet pilot. It is revealed he has sea sickness and that he had a fear of heights and clowns. Marc gets along very well with Megan, his fraternal twin. In most episodes they are seen with an arm or an elbow around each other. In his normal appearance, Marc has short light brown hair in the normal style that a 12 year old boy would have. He has hazel eyes and wears a blue hoodie with white sleeves, cargo pants, and blue shoes. He and Lee are the only two siblings that look like their mom – with the hair and skin tone. He is voiced by Peter Cugno.

Tony

• Tony Clark: Tony is the youngest sibling of the Clark family at 11. Tony is a nonsense go-getter and very hyperactive boy. He is impatient and relies too much on intuition, and he doesn't like 'thinking', which sometimes leads the spies into deep trouble. His spy suit and MPCom are yellow and the Freezdiscs seem to be his favorite gadget. He shares a room with Marc. In addition, he has a habit of going crazy over girls, which is similar to Clover's craziness over boys. In his normal appearance, Tony, like Alex, has black hair that is swept up one way and down the other and also has green eyes. He wears a yellow long sleeve shirt under a blue half-sleeved jacket, blue pants, yellow shoes, and a grey belt. He and Megan are the only ones to look like Alex from Totally Spies! and to look like their dad – skin tone and hair style. He is in the 6th grade. He is voiced by Julie Lemieux

Tami

• Tami: Tami is a popular 13 year old girl in the Spiez's school. She's a rival to Megan. Sometimes she's a bit annoying and Megan hates her for being spoiled and snobby all the time. She has also seen Megan in full spy gear, but then her memory was erased by WOOHP. She is somewhat like Mandy from Totally Spies!. Unlike Mandy, Tami made her debut appearance in Episode 5 (Operation Brat Pack) of the series. She is the only character that wears more than one outfit in the whole show, aside from Megan in some episodes. In "Operation: Evil Paparazzi", Tami is shown to have a crush on Lee, but the feelings are not returned. She is voiced by Stephanie "Sugar Lyn" Beard
