Ballad suddenly appeared in the backyard one day, with a flurry of snow in his wake. When asked his identity, he proclaimed himself “the trickster god of music” and implied that he has great power, so best not get on his nerves. Whether or not any of that’s true, only Ballad himself knows. So far, he’s done no harm, so he’s allowed to stay. It seems that he can’t stand the quiet, and if there’s no noise, he’ll fill the air with one-sided conversations about himself. When he’s not talking, he’s whistling a tune.

Feisty and outdoorsy. Wants to discover something big, and looks up to Radar as an inspiration. Will fight you.

Dislikes being small for his species. Squawks to get everyone’s attention back on him. Unironically idolizes King Dedede.

Highly intellectual and loves reading and debating. Chomp-Chomp isn’t his real name, but a nickname given to him for the way he (figuratively) eats through books.

Spends most of his time alone in the forest, collecting plants, muttering to himself the whole time. Claims he’s talking to ghosts that only he can see. (“Al” for short)

A film lover who can spend all day talking about his favorite movies. Theorizes about the nature of the universe in his spare time. Secretly wishes he didn't appear so intimidating.

Always kind and conscious of people's sensitivities. More affectionate than most, but usually too shy to ask for hugs.
