Author’s Note: These characters are fun, bright, smart, and loud. If Fraggle Rock, the Bratz Dolls, Spice Girls, and Captain Planet made children – these characters would be the offspring. To take it one step further, their sibling would be the love child of Bad Bunny & Caresha.
Seeking:
Busy Bee: The bold leader of the Busy Bees, Busy makes sure the rehearsal is up and contracts are flowing. She’s nice but all boss-bee.
Bumble Bee: Bumble is the coolest tech wiz. The brains of the group, she’s the voice of reason, always looking for solution rather than the problem.
Grumble Bee: Grumble is a woeful bee; sometimes considered the buzz-kill; Grumble lets the world problems and issues really affect her mood.
Wanna-Bee: Wanna-Bee is the epitome of Laissez-Faire. If there’s a problem, Wanna – Bee doesn’t notice. She’s diplomatic, goes with trends and is inspired by anything that makes her little wings happy.
Señor Sea Turtle: A spritely viejito at 80 years, Mr. Sea Turtle has been trying to get free but there is just too much plastic and pollution on his side of the ponds these days.
Sir Lancelot Jones: 7-year-old Sir Lancelot Jones is a Southern young boy with a vivid imagination of knights, and castles. He’s a great farmer and part of the family who will eventually save Biscayne national park.
Galactica [b-girl]: 200 years in the future, Galactica aka G-girl loves here world, loves to dance and loves history – a mash up of a skater & sneaker head who learned to recycle all the of past’s pollution oh-so-fashionably.
Galactico [b-boy]: 200 years in the future, Galactico is the twin brother of Galactica and just as excited about being alive. As long as they have hydro-pops and food pellets, there’s no worries! Harmony and fine tune for balance.
