Same friends. A brighter tomorrow.
The Leader and BelieverA big, honey-brown bear with a cream muzzle and his bright red bandana. Buster believes in his friends before anyone else does, and he acts on that belief. When the hard part arrives, he tightens his bandana and stays in it.
"Let's go!"
The BuilderChestnut fur, a paddle tail, a tool belt and a wooden carpenter's pencil tucked behind his ear. Benny is quiet, careful and very good at making things. When the pencil comes out, something is about to get built.
"One board at a time."
The PlannerRound glasses, a notepad and a tiny gavel. Oliver loves an agenda and a good meeting, and his planning turns out to matter when it helps the work get done.
"Point of order!"
The ResearcherPurple glasses and a stack of books. Tina always wants one more study, and her research ends up being just what the builders need.
"One more study."
The ObserverRainbow feathers and a purple scarf. Penny repeats what she hears with cheerful conviction, and sometimes that is exactly the push everyone needs.
Repeats the last thing she heard
The MayorA big brown moose with a blue sash and its leaf emblem. The Mayor wants everyone to agree, and when it counts, he sets down the committee notes and picks up a board.
