Pip has only just hatched, blinking at this big new world for the first time. Everything is fascinating, everything is a bit scary, and everything makes them want to learn one more word.
Origin Hatched from the very first correct spelling.
"What's that? And… THAT?!"
Still keeps half of their eggshell tucked away as a hat.
Bramble guards a small glowing orb that holds every word they've ever helped someone spell. It gets brighter every time another speller masters something new.
Origin Found one summer evening, asleep next to a dictionary.
"I'll keep that one safe for you."
Their orb glows brightest near children doing daily practice.
Cinder is a small, toasty fire that never goes out — and somehow always smells of marshmallows. They warm up tricky spellings until the letters come out crispy and just right.
Origin Lit from the spark of a daily streak that wouldn't quit.
"Pull up a stick. We've got time."
Their flames change colour for every vowel sound.
Aurora is the rarest companion of all. They appear only when a child has put in months of patient practice — and when they do, every feather shimmers with a different colour for every word ever mastered.
Origin Born from the very last letter of a thousand-word streak.
"If you can spell it, you can fly with me."
Each feather catches a different colour depending on the time of day.
