Characters
- Dotty (voiced by Tara Talboy) - The youngest member of the Club, endured an arsenal of deprecating nicknames from her elder sister and friends: "half-pint," "short-stuff," and the like. A prodigy, she normally stayed at home; from there, Dotty provided case-solving information from her minicomputer and/or results from various forensic tests. She also had access to high-tech communications equipment, including audio/video links to the Club's car...and to their wristwatches, which doubled as pagers. (Where and how the Club built or otherwise acquired these devices was never specified; it was hinted that Dotty herself custom-made them.) Dotty's friends were highly protective of her, and resented it when she joined them in the field...which the girl frequently did, after running out of "homework."
- Pepper and D.D. (voiced by Patricia Stitch and Bob Hastings) - They typically searched for leads and/or evidence, which often led to them being chased by the culprit(s). It was never revealed what D.D.'s initials stood for.
- Larry (voiced by David Jolliffe) - Normally he interviewed the suspect(s) and/or passed on the Club's findings to Dotty.
- Woofer and Wimper (voiced by Paul Winchell and Jim MacGeorge) - Much of the comedy would come from Woofer, who would constantly accuse suspects without good reason, then later back-track while proclaiming his genius; and Wimper, a more down-to-earth, easy-going, yet intelligent dog, who would at times go along with his comrade’s schemes, and other times turn the tables on his pal. This, and Wimper's ability to find pertinent clues, elevated his character to equal status. Unlike Scooby-Doo, the dogs are only able to talk to each other and not to humans. They served in cases either as trackers or delivering messages and/or evidence back to Dotty to analyze. Their voices sound similar to "Amos 'n Andy".
- Sheriff Bagley (voiced by John Stephenson) - The local Sheriff who frequently relies on the Clue Club for assistance and arrests suspects at their conclusion.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:
“To marry a man out of pity is folly; and, if you think you are going to influence the kind of fellow who has “never had a chance, poor devil,” you are profoundly mistaken. One can only influence the strong characters in life, not the weak; and it is the height of vanity to suppose that you can make an honest man of anyone.”
—Margot Asquith (1864–1945)
“Of all the characters I have known, perhaps Walden wears best, and best preserves its purity. Many men have been likened to it, but few deserve that honor. Though the woodchoppers have laid bare first this shore and then that, and the Irish have built their sties by it, and the railroad has infringed on its border, and the ice-men have skimmed it once, it is itself unchanged, the same water which my youthful eyes fell on; all the change is in me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The major men
That is different. They are characters beyond
Reality, composed thereof. They are
The fictive man created out of men.
They are men but artificial men.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
