The story of the...
Deep in the cozy forgotten folds of the world live the Thrumlings.No one knows exactly where they came from. Weavers whisper they were spun from old threads and loving thoughts. Some say a Thrumling is made every time a mistake is unravelled with grace. Others say they appear when you see the worth in forgotten and discarded things.Small as a plum, these woolen creatures are felted together by magic, memory, and a little mystery. They speak in rhythmic hums and curious wiggles, somehow knowing when you need something small and soft to keep you company.Thrumlings are the quiet guardians of contradictions - unspeaking and empathetic, soft and resilient, ancient and youthful. They delight in their own company and that of their kin, offering themselves as pocket-sized companions for your strangest days.All they ask in return? A warm place to rest - and the promise you’ll keep a bit of wonder close at hand.
No. 01: Bernard
* The Charmkeeper *
Habitat: The stone cave cottage tucked into the misty ridge of WoolglenPersonality: Grumbly • Solitary • Gentle-heartedBernard prefers the quiet rustle of moss over chitchat and the company of charms over crowds. While they may appear prickly (and may, in fact, huff audibly when approached), Bernard is a deeply loyal and protective soul. Their cave glows with quiet magic and tiny silver relics from Thrumlings past and present—each one kept safe under their careful watch.

Bernard may not say much, but if they let you stay for tea, you’ve been accepted. And if they give you a charm? That means they’ve seen something special in you that even you might’ve forgotten.
Please note: to adopt Bernard, there is a fee of $130 CAD (this includes safe transportation for the Thrumling).
No. 02: Pip
* The Curious Dreamer *
Habitat: A star-dusted gossamer hideaway within the drifting fogs of WoolglenPersonality: Inquisitive • Wide-eyed • Cheerfully forgetfulPip is a wanderer of wonder - the type of Thrumling who pauses mid-step to marvel at a pebble, a shadow, or the way dandelion fluff dances. They often start sentences with “Did you know…” and then forget what they were saying halfway through. Easily distracted, frequently delighted, Pip is the youngest spirit in any room, even if they’re not the youngest by age. Fun fact - Pip can locate any misplaced object by accidentally tripping over it within 10 minutes.

Some say Pip is destined to discover something extraordinary - though Pip just hopes it’s edible or sparkly. If they invite you along on an adventure, bring snacks, a notebook, and a patient smile.
No. 03: Griffin
* The Alchemist *
Habitat: A stripey maximalist nook within the oldest oak in Woolglen, filled with half-finished projectsPersonality: Inventive • Intense • Endearingly NeuroticGriffin is the kind of Thrumling who stays up late weaving meaning from moonlight and half-remembered dreams. Part artist, part alchemist, part philosopher, they’re always tinkering - mixing odd paints, testing new ideas, or scribbling thoughts in crooked notebooks. Though easily flustered when things don’t go as planned, Griffin has a deep, unwavering heart and can be found fixing or inventing new treasures for the community of Woolglen.

| The smell of ink and wood | Feeling unmotivated |
| Blank notebooks | Having nothing to fix or create |
| The quiet thrill of figuring out why something matters | Forgetting a thought before writing it down |
Griffin can mix colors no one else can replicate — they claim each shade is a memory captured in paint.
No. 04: Beatrix
* The Whisperer of Wild Things *
Habitat: A calm sun-dappled clearing where animals often gather to restPersonality: Peaceful • Warm-Hearted • HarmoniousBeatrix is the quiet calm after a storm. When tempers flare or feelings knot up, she’s the one who tilts her head, listens fully, and somehow smooths everything out with a single, thoughtful phrase. Though she loves to share knowledge about animals, she’s less of a teacher and more of a gentle companion - walking with the creatures of Woolglen as if they’ve known each other forever.

Beatrix has a gift for calming even the most anxious hearts — Thrumling or otherwise — with her soothing voice and gentle touch. Some say Beatrix can “speak” to animals, though she claims it’s simply about listening to what they’re already saying.
No. 05: Daisy
* The Sun Chaser *
Habitat: A bright buttercup hollow in the heart of WoolglenPersonality: Radiant • Spontaneous • GenerousDaisy is the Thrumling who turns ordinary moments into small celebrations. She thrives on connection; the kind who greets every creature (Thrumling or otherwise) with a cheerful grin and a “let’s do something fun!” Her energy is contagious, often coaxing even the shyest Thrumling into adventures. Daisy isn’t just stylish in her scarves and flower garlands; she has a knack for making others feel seen, special, and part of her sunny world.

Daisy can cheer up even the grumpiest creature with a single laugh - it cuts through the gloom like a burst of sunshine.
No. 06: Otis
* The Groovekeeper *
Habitat: A starlit purple tower, where Woolglen dances beneath a mirrored moonPersonality: Steady • Soulful • Quietly WarmOne half of the Mystical Musicians of Woolglen, Otis is the heartbeat of the twins. They ground Ella’s wild energy with their slow, rolling rhythms. They’re the kind who listens to the world first - the wind through the reeds, the creak of branches and then responds with a hum or a soft beat on their log drum. Though they speak few words, their quiet gaze and thoughtful pauses often say more than enough.

| Low, earthy tones | When Ella steals their drumsticks |
| Campfire evenings | Sharp, clanging noises |
| Carving instruments out of fallen twigs | Songs with no soul |
Some say Otis’s rhythms can calm even the stormiest tempers in Woolglen. They simply shrug and call it 'keeping the beat'.
No. 07: Ella
* The Song Weaver *
Habitat: A starlit purple tower, where Woolglendances beneath a mirrored moonPersonality: Bright • Spirited • MischievousOne half of the Mystical Musicians of Woolglen, Ella is the melody to Otis’s rhythm - always twirling, humming, and inventing songs on the spot. They find music in everything: the rustle of leaves, the buzz of bees, even the creak of a door. While they are bold and spontaneous, their warmth wraps around everyone like a soft song at dusk.

No. 08: Fable
* The Gardenheart *
Habitat: The sunny edges of Woolglen, where wildflowers grow thick and the soil smells like warm earthPersonality: Playful • Radiant • Quietly WiseFable is both the keeper of Woolglen’s gardens and the soul of its laughter. They’re the Thrumling who knows which seeds will thrive and which weeds are worth keeping (because every plant has a story). Though they’re not a leader in name, the others look to Fable when they’re lost - not for answers, but for perspective. With a chuckle, a gentle nudge, or a riddle that makes you think, Fable can turn worry into wonder.

Some say the gardens of Woolglen grow more luminous wherever Fable walks - not just because of their green thumb, but because their wisdom and warmth take root in everyone around them.
