The Water Espionage Team:

Nessie

Nessie is the thoughtful, courageous leader of the Water Espionage Team (W.E.T), who dedicates her life to protecting Loch Ness and her local town, Loch Bank. She’s multiskilled, able to hit precise shots with her water gun and keeps her team motivated.

Jelly

Jelly is the firecracker of the W.E.T team, a strong-headed, short tempered loose cannon! His anger and eagerness to shock and sting his enemies is fuelled by his love and protective nature, as he hates anything and everything that threatens Loch Ness.

Bea

Bea is a genius inventor who builds gadgets that aid the W.E.T team in their missions. (Some of which work better than others…) Bea is always one to use smarts to solve a problem but isn’t afraid to get her paws dirty when Loch Ness is under attack.

The Baddies:

Nugget

Nugget is a cunning and conniving evil mastermind with an obsessive hatred for Loch Ness and its residents of Loch Bank! She is a strong and ruthless leader that gets what she wants by force and controlling her minions through fear.

Neep and Tattie

Nugget’s lead henchmen (hench-gulls?) are loyal to Nugget, but mostly out of fear. They are master thieves, known to have orchestrated at least one fish and chip heist, and suspected of stealing a tractor. These brothers have a love/hate relationship and are always squabbling and trying to one-up each other.
