But hardly anyone knows that they lead a double life as a secret agent inside when WOOHP (World Organization of Human Protection to dt. World Organization for the Protection of Humanity ) an organization that criminals globally active and criminals are active, chasing and puts them out of business . The spy boss is Jerry, an older man who can usually be found in a suit. The teenagers wear skin-tight, rubber-like full body suits made of latex during their missions and receive highly technical and also unrealistic accessories for their assignments, such as: B. a device that is able to generate a tornado. However, a lot is also used for practical bugging of people to be shaded, such as tracking transmitters or sound-amplifying ear studs. These devices are mostly disguised as cosmetic products such as B. as a nail file (camera), powder compact (computer, called Compuder) or lipstick (laser) Through their actions, the girls always manage to save them, naturally unnoticed by the rest of the world. Often the three agents are tied up and gagged by evil villains on their adventures, but they always find a way out.

characters

Samantha "Sam" Simpson

Sam, whose full name is Samantha Simpson, is the brightest of the three spies. She has a razor-sharp intellect and has her own laboratory in which she conducts experiments. She has long red hair and wears a green suit during her missions. When the three spies deal with criminals who brainwash people, Sam is almost always the victim, which is probably due to her intelligence. Sam seems (unlike Clover) to be very moral.

Clover Mansion

Clover Mansion is characterized by good looks, a keen interest in boys, and extensive shopping. She is often snooty and dismissive towards many people. She has blonde chin-length hair and blue eyes. Clover always wears a red suit. She seems to have relatively little interest in science (in contrast to Sam), nor does she show interest in the supernatural.

But she cares a lot about her friendship with Sam and Alex, which is based on mutuality with the three of them. Clover's career aspiration is in the direction of a famous acting career or something similar.

Alexandra "Alex" Houston

Alexandra Houston, called Alex, is the youngest of the three agents; she has fairly short and black hair and is darker skin than the other two spies. Alex obviously descends from Latinos . Unlike Sam, Alex is often portrayed as dense and naive, but Alex is excellent at martial arts . Your suit is yellow. She shows great interest in unusual diets ( carrot diet ), yoga and the psychic. However, she is also a kind hearted person who loves animals. However, she has a cat allergy.

Jerry Lewis

Jerry is the founder and administrator of WOOHP and also mentor the spies. He is an older man, always wears a suit and loves to drink tea. That's probably because of his origins, because Jerry is British. Most of the time Jerry sits in his office and controls WOOHP. He rarely leaves his office. Not only did he discover Sam, Clover and Alex, he trained them personally. Jerry is also a brilliant inventor and developer of numerous novel weapons.

In some episodes it is shown that Jerry can also fight very well. Earlier episodes revealed that Jerry is a master in Far Eastern martial arts. This surprises the spies again and again.

Gabriella Simpson, Stella Mansion and Carmen Houston

Gabriella ("Gabby"), Stella and Carmen are the mothers of Sam, Clover and Alex. They appear relatively rarely in the series. The appearance of the three mothers varies slightly from one gig to another. Carmen has once wine-red, once black and once dark brown hair; Gabby's hair is once light brown and once as red as her daughter's. Stella's hair is once platinum blonde and at other times indistinguishable from her daughter's slightly darker hair.

Gabriella is an extremely happy mother who constantly patronizes Sam and takes care of her well-being. Stella, on the other hand, is extremely strict, often prohibiting Clover from going out and watching TV and forcing her to take care of her annoying cousin.

In the last episode of the fourth season, the three learn of their daughters' activities as agents and try to prevent them from happening. However, when they are kidnapped by Mandy and her friends, who have made a personality swap with agent genes, and then rescued by the girls, they change their minds. Then they train themselves to be agents to save their daughters from Mandy.

Of the three fathers of the Spies , only Alex and Sam's fathers have performed so far.

Britney

Britney is a trainee agent for WOOHP. She appears to be of Asian descent and has a thing for chess, as well as being a cheerleader. So far, she has only had a few appearances on the series. Britney's suit is blue. At first she seems a bit mean, because you sometimes have the feeling that she wants to suppress Alex, and because she is often naughty and mean to her. The other teammates are very fond of Britney, but they too are a little jealous because Britney works with two good-looking agents.

Mandy

Mandy is a very beautiful, rich classmate and neighbor of Sam, Alex and Clover. She has long black hair and purple eyes. Mandy is a downright vicious person who likes to whistle or torment other people. She's also very fond of shopping, and enjoys seeing Clover get jealous of the newly acquired items. Obviously, however, Clover is richer and prettier than her. Although the spies have many enemies, Mandy is actually the show's antagonist. Besides, she always has new comrades-in-arms who change from season to season. In the first through fourth seasons she was accompanied by her high school friends. In season five, it's her blonde cousin Mindy. In the sixth it's her chauffeur, Trent.
