Bernadette Hedgehog is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. She was the mother of Sonic the Hedgehog and the wife of Jules Hedgehog. Bernie was one of the students of Nate Morgan along with Sir Charles Hedgehog 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. Following the takeover of Dr. Ivo Robotnik, Bernadette was subsequently roboticized and became a mindless servant of the world despot. Years later, when her free will was restored, Bernie became the mother that Sonic lacked for the majority of his life.
