Olive
A thoughtful owl who worries a little too much.
Olive plans for every possibility and carries the essentials in her bag. Her friends know they can count on her when plans go sideways.
The bag for every occasion
Olive carried a bag packed for surprises: a map, a scarf, a pencil, a biscuit and two spare pencils in case the first pencil got lonely. When her friends invited her on a short walk, she added an umbrella, a torch and a folded blanket.
They had barely reached the park when rain began. Olive opened the umbrella. Milo cheered. Five minutes later the sun returned, so Olive handed out the biscuit and suggested they sit on the blanket.
“You really planned for everything,” said Finn. Olive blushed. Then a breeze took her map and sent it sailing across the pond.
Barnaby pointed at the path home. They followed it together. That night Olive added one small item to her bag: a clip for the map. She removed a spare pencil to make room.
