Mienshao

Mienshao's official artwork

**Mienshao** is a Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves from Mienfoo starting at level 50.

## Biology

Mienshao is a white, long-bodied Pokémon with a small head and small, triangular ears. Its forehead has a purple spot adorning it as well as a yellow one on its snout. It possesses a pair of long, yellow-tipped whiskers which have split ends. Its arms are almost completely covered by a large amount of fur that is tipped in purple and split at the end. Its torso has one purple ring of fur around its midsection. It also has purple fur on the bottom section of the torso, which resembles pants, and its bottom paws are clawed. It has a long, skinny tail that, like its paw fur, is tipped purple and split at its end. Mienshao is respectful and is usually seen training with its Trainer.

When facing a truly challenging opponent, Mienshao will bite off the fur from its arms to make itself lighter. Its arm fur is used as a weapon in battle and acts like a battle whip. Before it attacks, it lets out a bizarre wail. It then creates combination attacks that are difficult to see and overwhelmingly unstoppable, and slowly stores up power for a finishing blow. When using its blinding speed, Mienshao can crush massive boulders into tiny pieces.

## In The Sagwaverse

Sagwa meets a female Mienshao while training martial arts. She decides to teach her some unique martial arts moves that only she knows such as combination attacks and blinding speed, the latter which Sagwa finds difficult considering Mienshao can crush boulders into tiny pieces. This move could easily break her hand, but during one harsh battle, Sagwa manages to smash an incoming boulder into tiny pieces thanks to Mienshao's training, and all she got was a sore hand.

Lizette

> My Stars. Is this Princess Buttercup, all grown up?
>
> Lizette to Erica Hale in *Spy School British Invasion*

Lizette is an extra character in *Spy School British Invasion*. She is an acquaintance of the Hale family, specifically Catherine. She works as a guard at the British Museum and allowed Ben, Erica, Catherine, Zoe, Mike, and Murray to enter the vaults with a very lenient security check after telling the crew of Operation Screaming Vengeance embarrassing stories about Erica Hale's childhood.

## Appearance & Personality

Lizette is a suspected middle-aged woman with a chipper personality, a blind spot when it comes to friends and security, and no problem with revealing potentially embarrassing secrets. She and Catherine share many traits.
International Tulip Growers Association

> CRUSH and SKORPION have never liked SPYDER much, though I'd put my money on ITGA. They're about as evil as people get.
>
> Murray Hill in *Spy School British Invasion*

The **International Tulip Growers Association**, or **ITGA** for short, is mentioned in *Spy School British Invasion* by Murray. It is a rival criminal organization to SPYDER. Clearly, their name is a lie. Calling themselves "The International Association of Evil People Who Commit Crimes for a Living" would have raised too many eyebrows of law enforcement. Virtually nothing about this evil organization is known. The actual, non evil tulip growers are part of the IFTA, or the International Tulip Farming Association, according to Murray Hill. It is unknown if Murray was lying or if he was telling the truth about this evil organization.

Catherine Hale

Drinking tea

**Catherine Hale** is Erica and Trixie Hale's mother and Alexander Hale's ex-wife. Her first long-awaited appearance is in *Spy School Secret Service* when she helps Erica and Ben in a tricky situation. She is a spy for the MI6 British Intelligence and has kept that a secret from the rest of the Hales except for Erica until the events of *Spy School Goes South* when she reveals her secret.

Her cover is being a museum curator, but she does love ancient artifacts. Also, being British, she bakes great blueberry muffins, makes good tea, and has a delightful British accent.

## Appearance & Personality

Catherine is similar to her daughter in looks, but with an opposite personality. She is not explicitly described (eyes & hair color), but she probably has dark hair and blue eyes. She comes off as a chipper, enthusiastic, and un-spy-like soccer mom, but knows her strengths.

## Skills & Abilities

Catherine is described by Ben as the best fighter he's ever seen, even better than Erica. She is lithe and athletic, yet still graceful. In *Spy School British Invasion*, Catherine beats up three thugs outside a bar and later managed to defeat Dane Brammage.

## Missions

* Operation Pungent Muskrat
* Operation Tiger Shark
* Operation Screaming Vengeance
* Operation Sneaky Monkey

## Relationships

### **Alexander Hale**

Catherine met Alexander on a mission of hers and was easily entranced by his charming ways. They got married but parted ways a few years ago because of the stress from their jobs. Though they are divorced, she oddly keeps her last name as Hale, and lots of people refer to her as Ms. Hale.

She seems to still have slight feelings for Alexander, as she defends him when Erica deliberately starts putting him down as she always does. When Erica states that he was a terrible father and an even more lousy husband, Catherine doesn't answer but avoids the question by slamming on the brakes, as they were in a situation.

### **Erica Hale**

Catherine is one of the few people who can bring the normal teenager out of her daughter, and as stated by her herself, was the one who raised Erica for most of her life, not Alexander. This is likely why Erica has a stronger bond with her mother, despite them having opposite personalities. She also knows quite a lot about Erica that other people don't.

## Trivia

* She bakes delicious blueberry muffins.
* She loves tea and biscuits.
* She knows Claire Hutchins from MI6 Academy.
* She once defeated a splinter cell of a radical terrorist's group with only a slingshot and a bag of marbles.
* Her parents weren't spies, but it is implied that her lineage had been involved in intelligence work in the past.
* She once worked with a man whose name was Winnifred Von Tootlepants.
Dane Brammage

**Dane Brammage** is a freelance evil agent who was first hired as a bodyguard by Leo Shang for Operation Golden Fist in *Spy Ski School*. Dane's main job was to protect Jessica Shang, but it soon evolved into killing Dane Brammage es un agente malvado independiente que fue contratado por primera vez como guardaespaldas por Leo Shang para la Operación Puño de Oro en la Escuela de Esquí Espía. El trabajo principal de Dane era proteger a Jessica Shang, pero pronto evolucionó hasta matar a Benjamin Ripley y sus amigos, especialmente después de unirse a la célula astillada de Joshua Hallal. Es escandinavo y danés en la serie.

## Apariencia & Personalidad

Dane es gigante, musculoso, duro y extremadamente difícil de matar. Tiene la piel clara, un mullet rubio y una voz profunda e imponente con acento escandinavo. Tiene cara de piedra y es difícil decir lo que está pensando. La interacción social no es su traje más fuerte, ya que se confunde con muchas conversaciones a lo largo de la serie.

## Habilidades y habilidades

Dane es extremadamente resistente, después de haber sobrevivido a explosiones, una avalancha, ahogarse en un lago helado, caer en un tanque de tiburones, caer de un helicóptero, tener un tobogán de agua gigante colapsado sobre él, y muchos más accidentes fatales. A pesar de su gran tamaño, también puede correr sorprendentemente rápido, tanto que Ben lo describe como un rinoceronte. También puede hablar chino mandarín con fluidez.

## Trivia

Si cambias el D y el H y quitas un m en "Brammage danés" obtienes "Daño de salvado" ("Daño cerebral")

Su nombre era en realidad idea del hijo de Stuart Gibbs.

Cuando los espías espían el apartamento del Shang usando insectos, Hank exclama: "Dane Brammage tiene un gas gravemente malo".

Se inspira en secuaces clásicos de la serie de James Bond, como Oddjob y Jaws, de Goldfinger y The Spy who Loved Me, respectivamente.

Incluso fue capaz de eliminar a Cyrus.
Earth

Earth from space

**Earth** is the third planet from the sun known to harbor life.

## In Star Cat

Obviously, Earth is Sagwa's home planet. The Star Cat Battle and Rescue Corporation was built on the planet and located in Ontario. Star Cat always protects Earth from the First Order no matter the threat.

## Moons

Earth has only one moon.

The Moon
Rey Syndrome

A mysterious disease of unknown origin. Some conspiracy theorists believe that it was caused by a pathogen that was spread by DDLCA spies that infiltrated Reyism. The is plausible since Reyism literally had no quality control. The disease causes devote followers of Reyism to lose free will. This is called the "drone" state. A state in which the afflicted unconditionally follow Rey's will. Soon their behaviour starts imitating Rey and their bodies start morphing. They now enter the "clone" state and it's far too late to cure them. Only one person has ever been recorded reaching this state. The person's origins and current whereabouts are unknown. This disease is the sole reason for the immediate shutdown of Reyism.
Woodchuck

> He was probably the healthiest-looking person I'd ever seen, tall and muscular without an ounce of fat on him. This was extremely evident to me, as he was wearing only a loincloth.
>
> Benjamin Ripley describing Woodchuck Wallace in  *Spy Camp*

## Woodchuck Wallace

### Occupations:

Spy Camp Survival Teacher
 Ski Teacher (SSS)

### Enemies:

SPYDER
 Leo Shang

### Education:

CIA Academy of EspionageUniversity of Espionage

### Last episode:

SSS

**"Woodchuck" Wallace** is the survival course instructor at Spy Camp. Lessons from him are rare and reserved for the best students. He often stays in the wild for long periods, making his own clothes and food. He operated in Operation Snow Bunny, posing as the ski teacher for Ben, the spies, and Jessica Shang.

## Appearance & Personality

Woodchuck has piercing green eyes and a closely cropped beard. He is darkly tanned and smells like pine needles. His typical wilderness attire consists of a bearskin cloak, homemade moccasins, and a buckskin loincloth. He likes anything to do with wilderness, almost too much, as he first appeared in *Spy Camp* wearing a loincloth while holding a dried piece of opossum meat. He believes that phones are useless. He also occasionally jumps off porches and swings on branches like a monkey.

## Skills & Abilities

Woodchuck is superb at anything to do with outdoor survival. According to Ben in *Spy School Secret Service*, it takes Woodchuck five minutes to start a fire, although Ben, despite having a lot of wilderness training from Woodchuck, takes forty-five minutes to start a fire. Woodchuck seems to be prepared for anything relating to nature, as in *Spy Ski School*, he knows how to swim in icy water and how to avoid hypothermia while doing it. Also in *Spy Ski School,* we see that he is a great skier while giving lessons to the kids.

## Missions

Woodchuck has operated in two missions over the course of the *Spy School* series:

1. Operation Angry Jackal
2. Operation Snow Bunny

## Trivia

* In *Spy Camp*, he throws a six-inch hunting knife and pins a mosquito by the wings on a wooden post from forty feet away.
* He has graduated from Spy School.
* He may have worked with Nathan Kagan, the Academy's survival skills professor, before.
* He made a report on the Climax Mine when he was at Spy School.
Coach Macauley

**Coach Macauley** is the physical education trainer at the CIA Academy of Espionage.

## Mr. Macauley

### Occupations:

Professor at the CIA Academy of Espionage

### Last episode:

SSBI

In *Spy School Secret Service*, he creates an obstacle course rigged with extreme challenges such as greased balance beams that are three inches wide, mud pits, swinging pendulums, rock walls, and more, with the intention of giving the students exercise. Erica Hale is the only known student who has been able to traverse the whole course unharmed. Mike Brezinski also gets to the end of the whole course unharmed, but that is because he goes around the area rather than going through the course and getting harmed like the others.

He has been known to enjoy watching his students suffer while doing workouts and long obstacle courses. It's possible he could have been at spy school.

Lionshead Village

> The small downtown had a German theme [...] with covered bridges, buildings straight out of a Grimms' fairy tale, and lots of business wtth unnecessary umlauts in their names.

 File:Image.jpg
**Lionshead Village** is located in Vail, Colorado, between the base of a ski mountain and Interstate 70. It's sprawling with expensive hotels, fancy spas and heated swimming pools, as well as far less grandiose motels such as the Ski Haüs, in which Ben and his fellow spies stayed. At the base of Vail Mountain, in the center of the town, lies the Arabelle, an incredibly luxurious five story hotel that Leo Shang rented out. In front of it there is a public square with an ice-skating rink, fancy restaurants, an ice cream parlor, and a pizza joint. Since it is a ski town, it also offers lifts to the slopes and ski rentals, and a Heli Skiing building. The village is only seen in *Spy Ski School*, and is never mentioned again.

CIA

File:JUST fOR WIKI NOW GO AWAY.png
 File:Deleteman.jpg
The **CIA** or the **Central Intelligence Agency** **of the United States of America** is a civilian foreign intelligence service tasked with gathering, processing, and analyzing national security information from around the world. It is a real organization, but in *Spy School*, it is comprised of fictional characters. Unfortunately, like many other organizations dedicated to justice, it is overrun with moles and double agents, rendering the Agency itself not fully trustworthy. In real life, the amount of employees is classified. Its budget is also classified. The agency has resources to almost everything the government can offer.

## CIA Academy of Espionage

It also has a junior agent academy called the CIA Academy of Espionage, which is where most of the *Spy School* series takes place. They are the main organization of the series. Many of their enemies are classified or not disclosed to the protagonists.

## Department of Misinformation

The Department of Misinformation is a department in the CIA. They are tasked with misleading people who are close to discovering the truth about the CIA Academy of Espionage. In some cases they are not able to fool them and instead recruit them, like Mike Brezinski.

## Federal Witness Protection Program

The Federal Witness Protection Program, though not actually a part of the agency, plays a big role. The program relocates people who have been wrapped up in crime to safehouses across the United States. It is run by the U.S Marshall Office. They have a strong presence in Florida.
Jenny Lake

**Jenny Lake**, Murray's ex-girlfriend, is first introduced in *Spy Ski School.* She later teams up with more evil agents and attempts to hunt Ben down in *Spy School British Invasion*, she first appears with Murray, when he is explaining how they were both hired by Leo Shang to work on Operation Golden Fist.

## Appearance & Personality

Jenny, as described by Ben, is surprisingly sweet for a freelance evil agent. She has a nose ring and long brown hair.

## Relationships

### **Murray Hill**

Jenny was Murray Hill's girlfriend. They met when Leo Shang recruited them on the first day. Later in *Spy Ski School*, Ben points out that Murray lied about the plot of Operation Golden Fist, claiming that Murray stole the idea from a James Bond movie. Jenny is upset when she finds this out and breaks up with Murray for lying and hiding it, this was not surprising as honesty is a lot to her.

## Trivia

* Her name is a pun on a lake in Wyoming, Jenny Lake.
* In *Spy School British Invasion*, she works for SPYDER (separate from Joshua's splinter cell).
* She has a specific perfume scent that Murray is able to recognize.
Avi (Boonie Bears: Back To Earth)

**Avi** is a supporting character who appears in Boonie Bears: Back To Earth.

## Physical Appearance

Avi may look like a cat, but he's actually a Rhyotan, cat-like species that originated from Earth. Avi has blue fur, white muzzle, belly, paws, and a white tip on his tail. He has two extra pairs of small ears under his main ears, implying that he has really good hearing. He also has a pink tuft of hair on top of his head.

Avi has the ability to generate a full set of futuristic-looking armor that is tough to penetrate. His tail is also fully armored with three green blades that could cut through anything. Avi's helmet is also modular, which allows him to show his face or hide it.

## In the Series

Avi appears as a supporting character in Star Cat and Sagwa's Siamese Life.

### Star Cat

Avi first came to Sagwa's neighborhood when his starship came crashing down nearby. Sagwa and her friends ran to the scene and met Avi (Who was dazed and bruised form the rough landing) for the first time. Avi proved to be very friendly towards Earthlings.

## Backstory

Millions of years ago, a highly developed Rhyotan civilization thrived to the detriment of Earth's environment. However, the Rhyotans met a terrible fate and in the end, had to flee their home planet. Finding a new home planet wasn't easy. It was also revealed that Avi did have parents, but the colony ship they were on was being sucked into a black hole, so they had to send him away in his cube-shaped starship to save him. Their fate remains unknown since the ship was torn apart by the black hole. Avi was left floating in space until he came across Earth in the year 2022.

Lucas Crandall

**Lucas Crandall** teaches Introduction to Self-Preservation at the CIA Academy of Espionage. His television screen can display what is being caught on the school's security cameras.

In the first book, he is the only one besides Erica Hale and Benjamin Ripley that knows Alexander Hale is a fraud. Crandall, along with Cyrus, is a Cold War Veteran. Crandall thinks Chip Schacter is a moron, but realizes he has potential.

>
> Catherine Hale in *Spy School Goes South*

During his visit to the White House, Vladimir was described as a "sketchy businessman." Later, he disguised himself to track down SPYDER to the Aquarius Resort.

Vladimir is far smarter and more competent than Paul Lee, and he is able to handle himself decently well in stressful situations. He speaks perfect English with a subtle Russian accent, although his Italian is weakness.

Kat introduces herself afterwards as Monstercat's girlfriend. Bewildered by this, Sagwa gives Kat a great big hug and they quickly become great friends.
SPYDER

> SPYDER is unlike any organization the CIA has ever faced.
>
> Cyrus Hale

> Cause it sounds cool. And frankly, calling ourselves 'an international consortium of independent agents who cause chaos and mayhem for a price' is a mouthful.
>
> Murray Hill

**SPYDER** is an elusive criminal organization dedicated to causing chaos. It is comprised of freelance evil agents, moles, thugs, and agents from various intelligence organizations who were bought off by SPYDER. They launched operations for the sole purpose of causing chaos and making incredible amounts of money, on the scale of millions upon billions of dollars. According to Murray Hill, SPYDER insources their evil schemes to make more money. They also own the Lew Brothers Construction company. SPYDER makes contracts with dozens of arms dealers, and stockpile several weapons like M16s and flamethrowers.

## Appearances

 File:Spydercollection.jpg
SPYDER is first introduced in *Spy School*, where it is revealed that they planted Murray Hill as a mole. They appear in every book starting from *Spy School* to *Spy School British Invasion*, with the exception of *Spy Ski School*. This seven book arc is dubbed *The SPYDER Collection.* However, since SPYDER has been supposedly defeated in *Spy School British Invasion*, it is unlikely for them to rise up in the future and play the major villainous faction again. SPYDER was considered by Ben Ripley to be his main enemy.

## Schemes

* Setting off a bomb to destroy the CIA Academy of Espionage (foiled by Operation Creeping Badger)
* Assassinating the President of the United States and important officials meeting at Camp David via missiles (foiled by Operation Angry Jackal)
* Blowing up ten bridges and getting paid billions to rebuild them (foiled by Operation Bedbug)
* Murdering the Chief of Arms of to get control over nuclear weapons and blackmail the world (foiled by Operation Pungent Muskrat)
* Bombing Antarctica to accelerate ice cap melting, in order to monopolize property along the new coasts (foiled by Operation Tiger Shark)
* Setting off an EMP generator atop the Eiffel Tower to wipe out computer networks (foiled by Operation Screaming Vengeance)
Heather Durkee

> Do you realize what you've done, you putrid little scuzzball?
>
> Heather Durkee to Benjamin Ripley in *Spy School Revolution*

**Heather Durkee** is the leader of the Croatoan, one of the most devious organizations dating back to the American Revolution.

She had plotted to kill the entire United States government by setting off a large amount of RDX explosives (which Murray Hill sold to her) at an important ceremony. Agent Durkee was a mole in the CIA, working in the Double Agent Detection Division under Agent Nora Taco orders.

## Appearance & Personality

Despite her fanatic and terrorist-like ideas, she always sounds cheerful when she talks. Her light and almost silly personality appears to be genuine, but she gets dangerously erratic and furious when her plans are foiled. According to Ben, her laugh is a high-pitch titer that sounds like a cartoon squirrel.

## Trivia

* She once suggested renaming the Double Agent Detection Division to "The Mole Patrol." However, Agent Taco was not amused.
* She can speak Spanish fluently.
Nathan Hale

**Nathan Hale** is the first known descendant of the Hale family who worked in espionage. He was a highly respected member of the Central Intelligence Agency in real life. Although he is a role model to many people, he wasn’t exactly the best spy. In *Spy School Revolution,* Catherine Hale points out that the reason everyone knows about him is because he got caught*,* while his brother, Elias Hale, never got caught, thus making Elias significantly less known.

In reality, Nathan Hale had many siblings (unnamed), but none of them were called Elias, making this part a fictional detail added by the author.

## Trivia

* The Administration Building at the CIA Academy of Espionage is named after Nathan.
* According to Catherine, he was a bad spy but his brother, Elias was a good and competent spy.
Lucy Ruth Cummins

**Lucy Ruth Cummins** is the illustrator of the *Spy School* series, as well as other Stuart Gibbs' series (FunJungle, Moon Base Alpha, The Last Musketeer). She works for Simon & Schuster as the executive art director. Cummins is also an author, and typically writes for younger audiences. More information is displayed on her website. Her first major illustration was in 2016.
Nora Taco

> I'd like to be able to go out for Mexican food and not be accused of cannibalism!
>
> Nora Taco ranting about her name in *Spy School Revolution*

**Nora Taco** is an agent for the CIA and first appears in *Spy School Revolution*. She is the commander of Double Agent Detection Division (D.A.D.D). Her name is an anagram for Croatoan, the main enemy in group *Spy School Revolution*, although she claims it is a coincidence. There is no proof that she is lying or telling the truth. She also has a gift for anagramming, which is how she knew her name was an anagram of "Croatoan" in the first place before anyone else figured it out.

## Trivia

* She is a descendent of the inventor of tacos.
* Her family knows the inventor of the sandwich, Earl Sandwich.
* Her name is an anagram for the Croaton
* She does not like people talking about her last name.
Jemma Stern

**Jemma Stern** is the daughter of the United States President, David Stern. She first appears in *Spy School Secret Service* when Ben goes to the bathroom, but when he opens the bathroom door, Jemma is there. According to Jemma, there isn't much of a need to lock the bathroom door in the White House, as it is her home. At the end of the book, she approaches Ben and is surprisingly cheerful, although he later realizes she actually wants to get closer to Mike Brezinski.

## Relationships

### **Mike Brezinski**

Jemma Stern finds Mike attractive at the end of *Spy School Secret Service* and they start dating, however they break up later because Jemma wants the relationship to be more serious whereas Mike does not. She wants him to go to Hawaii with her, but he wants to go on a mission but could not tell her. She is upset when Mike does not respond to her calls in *Spy School Goes South*. As of *Spy School Revolution*, Jemma has blocked Mike's calls.
Spy School

## Operation Creeping Badger

**Agent:** Ben Ripley

**Mission:** Survive the "science school" that is really a front for training junior CIA operatives. And try to get the girl.

**Objectives:**

1. Find the devious double agent who has infiltrated the school.
2. Try not to die.
3. Prove to everyone that you are capable of being a spy, save the day, and try not to look like such a nerd while doing it.

Destroy this note once you have memorized it.

## Activated Agents

* Benjamin Ripley (unofficially) (originally a patsy, but now an agent on the mission)
* Erica Hale (unofficially)

## Synopsis

*Can an undercover nerd become a superstar agent? Ben Ripley sure hopes so and his life may depend on it!*

*Ben Ripley may only be in middle school, but he’s already pegged his dream job: C.I.A. or bust. Unfortunately for him, his personality doesn’t exactly scream “secret agent.” In fact, Ben is so awkward, he can barely get to school and back without a mishap. Because of his innate nerdiness, Ben is not surprised when he is recruited for a magnet school with a focus on science—but he’s entirely shocked to discover that the school is actually a front for a junior C.I.A. academy. Could the C.I.A. really want him?*

*Actually, no. There’s been a case of mistaken identity—but that doesn’t stop Ben from trying to morph into a supercool undercover agent, the kind that always gets the girl. And through a series of hilarious misadventures, Ben realizes he might actually be a halfway decent spy…if he can survive all the attempts being made on his life!*

Security Level AA2

For Your Eyes Only

As part of the continuing investigation into Operation Creeping Badger, the following pages have been transcribed from 53 hours of debriefings of Mr. Benjamin Ripley, aka Smokescreen, age 12, a first year at the Academy of Espionage.

Mr. Ripley's acceptance to the academy, while unprecedented, was sanctioned by ███████████ and ███████████, Director of the CIA, as part of the operation.

As Operation Creeping Badger did not proceed as planned, given the events of ██████████████████████████, this investigation has been launched to determine exactly what went wrong, why it went wrong, and who should be terminated for it.

After reading these documents, they are to be destroyed immediately, in accordance with CIA Security Directive 163-12A. No discussion of these pages will be tolerated, except during the review, which will be conducted in ████████████████████████. Please note that no weapons will be allowed at said meeting.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Robert E. Lee Junior High

> Junior high was mind-numbingly dull, socially distressing, and potentially dangerous as well; it was common to be threatened with physical harm by the roving gangs of bullies there.

> Benjamin Ripley describing his old school in *Evil Spy School*

 File:Robert-e-lee (I hate him).jpg

**Robert E. Lee Junior High** (named after General Robert E. Lee) is a middle school located in Washington D.C. Benjamin Ripley and Mike Brezinski used to attend there before they were recruited to the CIA Academy of Espionage. The school has putrid bathrooms, toxic cafeteria food, and three chemistry labs. According to Ben, the teachers are dumber than dirt. Catherine Hale described the school as, "A bit rundown but not horrid." Many students hate the school, leading chaos to happen. In fact, in *Spy School Revolution,* when there was fire in the school, some students put their homework in the fire in hopes of burning down the school.

Dirk Dennett

**Dirk Dennett** is a bully at Robert E. Lee Junior High. He is described as a jerk, earning the nickname of "Dirk the Jerk." Ben mentions that he used to get harassed by Dirk daily. Even though Dirk isn't the toughest bully in the school, he makes up for it by being the meanest, and would harass Ben every chance he got.

In *Evil Spy School*, when Ben returns to normal middle school, Dirk approaches him with the intention of shaking him down like he used to. When Dirk attempts to attack Mike, Ben stops Dirk and beats him in a fight in the school cafeteria, impressing Elizabeth, Chloe, and Kate.

Ronald seems to have a hard time picking up cues, and sometimes says what is on his mind without really thinking it over. He also seems to think being a spy is cool (like Mike) before going to the CIA Academy of Espionage. He is not a fan of his neighbor Bob. Ronald did not want to move to Florida unlike his wife that wanted to.

During his stay at the Wiseman Preparatory Academy, which was actually a cover for SPYDER's training facility, he was trained by SPYDER to pilot missiles by playing video games. He almost blew up 10 bridges but was convinced by Ben at the last moment to steer the missiles off course.

## Appearance & Personality

Nefarious is tall, stick thin, and pale. He has dark wiry hair, unfashionable glasses, and a lot of pimples. Friendliness is not his strongest suit; he tends to mumble and say "mneh" a lot. He is talented at video games and appears to be addicted to Cheetos.

**Aquarius Luxury Family Resort and Spa** is an expensive, extravagant resort located in the Tulum Region of Quintana Roo, Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. Much of the action in the events in *Spy School Goes South* occur at the resort. After *Spy School Goes South*, the resort suffered severe property damage (including but not limited to: theft and destruction of ATVs, a scuba tank, thirty-five lounge chairs, a parasailing rig, significant damage to the penthouse suite, and complete collapse and destruction of a waterslide), the total cost of which amounts to 76,451,905 dollars and 35 cents. The resort is very expensive to stay in, even for a one room lodge. Most of the government agencies can't afford it, except MI6.

Mr. E

> "I hate them because they gave birth to you!"
>
> Ms. E to Benjamin Ripley in *Spy School British Invasion*

**Mr. E** is the mysterious leader of SPYDER who has eluded the CIA's grasp until *Spy School British Invasion*, when Ben confronts her for the first time. It is revealed that Mr. E is actually a woman, and will be referred to as "Ms. E" from then on. Her real name still remains unknown. She is captured at the end of *Spy School British Invasion*.

## Backstory

Ms. E was a CIA agent who graduated from the same class as Alexander Hale. She claims she was a much better agent than Alexander, which was probably true considering Alexander's skill level (refer to the books), but Alexander rose to the top, while Ms. E was given much less important jobs. She despises the sexism present in the espionage industry. This is the main reason why Ms. E started the evil organization SPYDER, where she is highly respected as the leader as wells as followed.

## Appearance & Personality

When Ben and the spies first encounter Ms. E in her hideout in France, she is dressed as a maid and looks like a frail, old lady. She is actually about as old as Alexander Hale. Ms. E is naturally devious and scheming, almost to the point of instability, as she's become bent on pulling off her evil plans and preventing Ben from foiling them again.

## Skills & Abilities

Despite her old maid cover, Ms. E proved to still be very strong and dangerous. She used to be a comptetent analyst at the CIA, and now is the leader of an evil organization, being very secretive and deceptive and having orchestrated many of SPYDER's evil schemes. She can speak French.

## Trivia

* The name "Mr. E" is a clear play on words that reads "mystery."
* Her lair is underground in a sewer.
	+ She has the real Mona Lisa in her lair, along with many other works of art.
	+ Ms. E has a dartboard with a picture of Ben's face on it, indicating her hate for the 13 year old boy who continuously succeeded in thwarting many of her plans.
	+ She doesn't have a picture of Erica's face to throw darts at, causing Erica to be displeased.
	+ She has a post-it note on her desk that that contains the name "Tina". It is highly unlikely that this is referring to the same Tina Cuevo.
* She use notes to communicate with other SPYDER agents.
* She likes Cheetos, donuts, and other American junk food.
* She likes butterflies and uses them for various types as codenames (such as Team Blue Morpho).
* The password to her computer is "UnicornsRule!!!"
* She moved to Paris for the art.

SSR

**Chip Schacter** is a 5th year student at the Academy, and was the second student Ben met when he first arrived on campus. Chip had tried to get Ben to hack into the CIA Mainframe for test answers, but was stopped by Murray Hill with a Van De Graaf electrostatic generator. Later on in the first book, Ben shows major disrespect for the principal (in order for Erica to access the mainframe), which Chip found cool. Chip now respects Ben and has become part of his friend group.

## Appearance & Personality

> The kid in the hall looked as though he'd stepped off the cover of a glossy magazine.
>
> Ben describing Chip in *Spy School*

Chip looks like the quintessential spy-to-be, with perfectly coiffed brown hair, a chiseled jaw, and broad shoulders. He is very strong, works out a lot, and often uses his menacing attitude to bully younger students. Chip is essentially a bully, tough and manipulative. He roams the school with his two thugs, Greg Hauser and Kirsten Stubbs.

However, before Chip was recruited to Spy School, he attended an arts academy, where he specialized in acting, singing, tap dance, and playing the oboe. During his time at Spy School he tries to blackmail everyone there to cheat for him. Sometimes, he can be violent and impertinent.

## Skills & Abilities

Chip is very skilled in hand to hand combat; coupled with his strength and sneakyness, he makes a formidable agent. He can also sing, dance, and play the oboe.

## Missions

Chip was activated officially only once, for Operation Snow Bunny, but he has participated in and aided other missions as well:

* Operation Angry Jackal
* Operation Snow Bunny
* Operation Pungent Muskrat
* Operation Screaming Vengeance
* Operation Sneaky Monkey

## Trivia

* His acting instructor wants him to play the lead Nathan Detroit in *Guys and Dolls.*
* When he had to go practice acting, he lied to Jawa, telling him he was going to a martial arts academy.
* He has memorized the *Iliad*.
* He thinks mole hunting is cool.
Mrs. Henderson

**Mrs. Henderson** is a professor at Evil Spy School. She teaches math, science, and bomb construction. Ben describes her as a "doting, motherly woman." He also states that she often cooks dinner for the Evil Spy School students. She may have been killed in the missile blast at the end of *Evil Spy School*.

While at Evil Spy School, Ben notes how Mrs. Henderson tries to spice up math problems with fake scenarios about blowing up bridges with missles. Later in *Evil Spy School*, Ben realizes his calculations for her class were meant to blow up actual bridges and tunnels as part of SPYDER's evil plot.
Mrs. Festig

**Mrs. Festig** is the principal of Robert E. Lee Junior High. According to Ben Ripley, she is not a bad administrator, but she believes that every teenager is a troublemaker (though unfortunately, she often fails to catch the troublemakers and usually ends up blaming the good kids for causing trouble). She has stopped many chaotic events in the school. In *Spy School Revolution,* she interferes with the mission, forcing Catherine to throw a vial with a highly combustible substance between them. This causes the school catch on fire.
