Shopkeepers
Bramble Burrowes
Runs Critter Corner. “Snacks for the wild critters of Glimmeria. Bramble Burrowes knows what every one of them likes best.”
Professor Hushpaw
Runs Whisperwood Library. “Every book here teaches a Glimling a new trick. Turn the pages quietly.”
Madame Palette
Runs Prism & Pigment. “Every color you can name, and three you can't.”
Sergeant Kindlewick
Runs Dune Armory. “Battle gear a Glimling borrows for a bout. Also sand, plenty of it, free of charge.”
Nurse Nightshade
Runs Gloomhollow Apothecary. “Tonics for a boost, never a cure. Shapeshift potions for a whole new shape.”
Nell Knotwhistle
Tusky McTrumpet's aunt. There is a knot in her trunk for each of the Cabinet's thousand drawers, and she remembers what every one is for, which most Trumpaloos can't. Ask for a stamp and she feels along the knots until she finds it.
Thimble Darnwell
Runs Thimble & Thread. “Hats, glasses, scarves and things to hold, made by a sock who has been darned a hundred times and can tell a good seam by feel.”

Sprites
Dandelion Sprite
Lives in a dandelion clock above Cloudhaven. “Puff! The wind carried your name to me!”
Puddle Sprite
Lives in the puddles under the Mossmire boardwalk. “Splish! Could you do something for me?”
Teakettle Sprite
Lives in a whistling kettle in Saffron Dunes. “Fssst! Quickly now, before I boil over.”
Toadstool Sprite
Lives in a ring of glowing toadstools in Mossmire. “Pop! The mushrooms and I would be ever so grateful.”
Firefly Sprite
Lives in a jam jar left open in Gloomhollow. “Blink! Do this for me and I will put a spring in your Glimling's step.”
Moth Sprite
Lives in the porch lamp at the edge of every evening. “Flutter! I collect curious moments. My cousin collects light, and we do not speak of him.”
Snowglobe Sprite
Lives in a snow globe on a Frostpeak windowsill. “Brrr. Be quick, before it all melts away.”
Hourglass Sprite
Lives in the top half of the big hourglass in the Cogwhistle clock tower. “Shhhf! Time is trickling away. Help me?”
Story folk
Stargazer Wren
Keeper of the Starwatch Observatory. He has worn a ring into the floor around the telescope.
Old Mossback
A turtle old enough to remember the last time the sky went dim. That was three hundred years ago.
Bogsworth the Gatekeeper
Has kept the Moon Gate for thirty years in a very official hat. Four people have been through, and each one is in his book.
Around town
Old Mother Nettlewick
Lives on stilts in Mossmire and argues with her mushrooms, who give as good as they get. Most evenings she leans over the Hearthside Pot to tell whoever is stirring what they're doing wrong.
Lamplighter Wicklow
Lights the Gloomhollow lamp row every dusk with the flame on the end of his own tail. He knows which wick is fattest and will not say.
Captain Crumbeard
An old sailor with crumbs in his beard who sets his pocket watch by the Cogwhistle harbor clock. Bring him all four pieces of a star chart and he'll show you where the star comes down.
Captain Barnaby
Fitted every Curio Cabinet in Glimmeria and cut one key for each. He calls himself Captain because his workshop window faces the harbor. He has never been to sea.
Nanny Puddlewick
An old porcelain Brewbelly who keeps the eggs warm with her own steam and rattles her lid at anyone in a hurry. Every new keeper leaves with her first-week list.
Coach Tuskmore
An old Trumpaloo in a sweatband, whistle on a string. Thirty seconds on his sand course, then a mark on the clipboard.
Doc Pawsley
Looks over her half-moon spectacles at a Glimling's glow and knows how it feels before it does. The only healer in Glimmeria.
Editor Inkwhisker
Prints the Gazette overnight in a Cogwhistle print shop and sets every headline by paw.
Sir Percival Nibbleton
The Gazette's critic. One monocle, usually one star.
Auntie Marmalade Whisk
Writes the recipe column the way her grandmother cooked, or at least with her grandmother's spoon.
Boomer Bellowtone
Calls every Brawl Bowl round on Glimvision in a sequin tux, all three throat sacs puffed for the viewers at home.
Tickety
Counts every arcade ticket out loud, and starts again if you look doubtful.
Rustle
Buys nearly anything for half its catalog price, old Pebble Dojo training pebbles included.
Old Knotwell
Lives in a giant snow globe on top of Frostpeak, in a striped knitted nightcap. Ties a knot in that long trunk for every buried treasure, then forgets which knot is which. Each shake of the globe buries the slope again. His oldest knot is three hundred years old.
Dotty Pogo
Ran Toybox Tower until it closed. Now she bounces from cabinet to cabinet at the arcade, squeaking for whoever is winning.
Fifi Fluffington
Kept Cloud Nine Salon until it closed, and fluffs the hats at Thimble & Thread these days. Every bow is the fluffiest she has ever seen.
