*Bernadette Hedgehog (born 3195) is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. She is a mobian hedgehog who is 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.

Bernadette is a mobian hedgehog with indigo fur, although on various occasions, she was depicted with lavender or blue fur, blue eyes, peach skin, and a tuff of blonde hair on her forehead. She has a small black nose and triangular ears on top of her head. For attire, she wears a purple dress (formerly green), a yellow shirt underneath, white gloves, and purple shoes (formerly white) with grey cuffs and grey straps. In terms of height, she is slightly shorter than Sonic.

Bernie shares many traits with Sally Acorn, such as being pragmatic and cautious. She also possesses a strong sense of compassion and bravery, much like Sally. Bernie deeply cares for her family and has been a pillar of support through their challenging times. While she struggles to come to terms with her son growing up, she remains a constant source of love and support for him and his friends.*
