Cream bunny, very small · she/her
Muffin
Bounces first. Everything else follows.
Muffin is a baby bunny the colour of whipped cream, and she has maybe three words to her name. She does not explain anything. She bounces into something, the something tips over, and the magic starts — which makes her the beginning of more adventures than anyone who can actually talk.
- Loves
- Being up high, being close to everyone at once
- Always says
- “Yip! Yip!”
Muffin is a baby bunny the color of whipped cream, with floppy ears and a pale pink nose. She is the smallest of the core animals, and she has maybe three words to her name — "Yip! Yip!" being the ones you hear most. Sometimes she adds "Up!" or a curious "Yip?" and that is the whole conversation.
She does not explain anything. That is important. Muffin does not tell you why the donuts flew or the bowl spun or the cloud giggled. She bounces into something, the something tips over, and the magic starts.
Which makes her the beginning of more adventures than anyone who can actually talk. Her joy is physical: up high, close to everyone at once, a giggle that turns into a sneeze that turns into something else entirely. She is not naughty. She is momentum in cream-colored fur — joy with oversized paws and no plan beyond the next bounce. Sneeze wind-up, curious head tilt: her face tells the story her words cannot.
In the bakery
Muffin bounces before she looks, which is why she and Crumble are chaos buddies — he adds the wrong thing on purpose; she adds motion by accident. She loves being up high and close to everyone at once, whether that means the counter edge or someone's shoulder. The bakery crew does not ask her to narrate. They ask her to stay near, and they catch what tips. She notices quiet things too — a child watching from the doorway, a spoon held like a flag — before most of the talking characters do. Bounce joy is her default setting, every single day.
For grown-ups
Muffin shows that not every important character needs paragraphs of dialogue. Nonverbal kids see themselves in her — action before words, delight before explanation. When you read her scenes aloud, use sound and rhythm: yips, bounces, pauses. Let your child guess what happens next from what she does, not what she says. Her accidental magic also validates big feelings expressed through the body rather than speeches. Three words can carry a whole scene if the bounce is right and the room is listening.
Colour Muffin in
Muffin's cream fur is soft — add rosy cheeks, or draw her mid-bounce off the counter.
