Meet the Band of Bears
Five characters, five courses, one growing cast of financial explorers — each headlining their own Level as they get a little older and take on bigger money decisions.
Teddy
Teddy's a good-natured cub who rakes leaves and walks a neighbor's pet salamander for spending money. He's just discovering what money even is — which makes him the perfect guide for a first-timer.
Also appearing: Theodore (Teddy's dad) and Ripper the Raccoon, the series' recurring cash bandit.
Goldie
Goldie just landed her first real job at the Honey Factory, and a paycheck changes everything. She's figuring out budgeting, impulse spending, and how emotions sneak into money decisions.
Also appearing: Grandma Goldine, Grandpa Golden, and the Impulsive Insects — Harry, Barry, Gary, and Larry.
Franklin
Franklin carries a book called Beary Smart Investing everywhere he goes, and he's not kidding around. He's building real investing knowledge, from his first stock to his first diversified portfolio.
Also appearing: Franco (Franklin's dad), Francine (his sister), and the Grizzardly Wizard, keeper of the Berry Field.
Chase
Chase is all business — savings accounts, debit cards, and eventually a shiny PandaPay credit card. He's the one figuring out how the everyday machinery of banking actually works.
Also appearing: Frosty Wheeler, the used-car salesman Chase has to out-negotiate.
Penny
Penny's already got a household to run — a husband, two daughters, a nephew, and a pickle business on the side. Her course covers the biggest financial decisions of adult life, right up to retirement.
Also appearing: Benny (her husband), Minty and Milly (her daughters), Nicky (her nephew), and Edgar the Emperor in the series finale.
