Characters
- Sally - Sally Chu (spelling of last name uncertain) is skeptical of the creature's existence. Based on her last name and her vaguely Asian appearance, she is probably of Chinese descent.

- T.J. - Thomas James Adams (spelling of last name uncertain) is convinced the creature is real and wants to photograph it as proof. He has sandy blond hair and carries a flash camera around his neck. Like Sally, he also appears in JumpStart Adventure Challenge, JumpStart SpyMasters: Unmask the Prankster and JumpStart SpyMasters: Max Strikes Back.
- Gizmo - Sally and T.J.'s semi-anthropomorphic pet dog, who can usually be seen on Sally's shoulder
- Ranger Addy Wise - the local ranger; her name is given in the "Tutor Times"
- Samual Branon Jr. - the mayor of Sapphire Falls, who wants to be president of the "U.S. of A."
