Meet the characters
Rocket -
food miner
Rocket is the hero of the story. His ambitions are simple; he wishes that his fellow Rumplings would appreciate the good fortunes they’ve been blessed with, and that they live with according consideration. His passion for the Rumpling way of life transpires in every fibre of his being. Also, he loves his sister very much, and having lost his parents, he feels responsible for her. There is nothing he won’t do to keep her safe.
Elodie -
super foodie
Rocket’s younger sister is your typical aloof Rumpling. Obsessed with Foodology and Alchemy, she spends all her time reading alchemy textbooks, and experimenting with food at home. Even though at times Rocket worries about her “living in a different world”, he’s very happy to eat the results of her experiments (most of the time, at least).
Karina -
head alchemist
Karina is the head alchemist of Káer. A slightly shy Rumpling, Karina doesn’t always say what she feels, but she always stays close to those she truly cares about. Like Rocket, she is also a follower of the House of Food and Flavour, and does what she can to live by their values of humbleness, perseverance and craftsmanship.
Ruffalo -
Head shaman
As the Head Shaman of the House of Food and Flavour, Ruffalo lives with a higher purpose; to guide his fellow Rumplings to a place of true appreciation for life. He is a true believer in the ways of his ancestors, and wishes nothing but happiness to all his fellow Rumplings. He is fortunate to be blessed with the gift to interpret the thunder, but his followers don’t always take him seriously. They fear the tidings the thunder might bring, and prefer denial to reality.
