Geumsaegi

Geumsaegdarami "Golden Squirrel" (금색다람이) is the main protagonist of Squirrel and Hedgehog. He's also known as Geumbitdarami (금빛다람이), "Geumbitdallangi" (금빛달랑이), and more commonly referred to as Geumsaegi "Golden" (/kɯmsɛːɡi/, 금색이). He is an undercover scout from Flower Hill who infiltrates the weasels and mice by pretending to be a field mouse, and he easily builds in their ranks.

Personality

Geumsaegi shows a level-headedness and is very clever. He is very perceptive and can figure out the enemy's plans even in high-stress situations. He is not one to lose his temper, although he acts out on several occasions.

In The Lesson for Squirrel, he seemed to rely more on Uncle Gom to protect his village from the weasels and mice rather than uniting with the many other animals due to the bear's longtime status as their protector. However, when Gom proves to be faulty because of the drugged alcohol that was given to him, it proved to be the village's downfall and Geumsaegi's time for growth from the incident.

When he would then subsequently reintroduced into The Scout, Geumsaegdarami, he was shown with a more clever characterization that would mirror later on in the series. He did, however, attempt to murder Field Mouse No. 2 before being stopped by Juldarami whom insisted that he shouldn't because it would expose their roles as spies. Ultimately at the end, he was able to gain Commander Jogjebi's trust and was promoted.
