About the Characters

Twigs:

Twigs is the main character of the series. She is stubborn and rebellious and a bit of a loner. She has always been quite androgynous, and has shortish, messy, gingery hair.  Her face is freckled (too many people view freckles as unattractive whereas I believe them to be completely the opposite, so children should embrace them!) and she is not a naturally smiley character. She has never felt as though she belonged in Faerie Forest, yet she is unsure as to why she feels this way. This feeling feeds into her poor behaviour choices!

Thistle:

This elf is a complete contrast to the grumpy fairy he is landed with.  Thistle is very happy-go-lucky and he is a bit of a prankster (which is what got him temporarily thrown out of his own community in Wooky Woods).  He sees the best in everyone and everything, even when things seem completely desperate. Thistle is steadfast in his loyalty to Twigs, and the fae soon realises how lucky she is to have met him.

Bumble:

Quite simply, this bee is adorable.  The picture to the left is how I love to see Bumble: he is fluffy, loyal, determined, selfless and riddled with anxiety about mostly everything!  This worry leads to him buzzing ridiculously loudly, and he often wrings his antennae, much like humans might wring their hands when anxious.
