Oveny

Awake for about four words at a time.

Oveny is a great round brick-and-cream oven built into the bakery wall, and he is asleep for most of any given day. Startle him and he sneezes — flour, or sometimes rainbow smoke, across the entire kitchen. His advice is excellent and almost never longer than five words, because he is usually asleep again by the sixth.

Warmth, and being fed something to bake

Always says

“(yawn) …I'm hungry.”
