1. Corn: They’re pretty much the boss, and coined the phrase “get organized bucko” When they seem like they have a plan, ppl start listening to their ideas. Color-coding extraordinaire, label making champion. Mega dreamer.

2. Peachy: such a best friend, like they are great at friendships or at least letting ppl know that they’re seen and special. always in a cute OUTFIT.

3. Purple guy: wants to seem mysterious, succeeds at it. Also has interesting hobbies like is randomly certified for driving a forklift or has trained their pet to do amazing tricks. Thoughtful.

4. Tangerine: Hilarious lil goofball. Total performer, even the shy ones have a ‘magic trick’ or trademark joke hidden up their sleeve. ABSOLUTELY BONKERS when they’ve had too much caffeine.

5. Bell pepper: SPORT-O! Is ready to race ya to the next feat. Has a favorite team (or band) and is gonna win/lose alongside them. Very specific preferences when it comes to writing implements.

6. Lil Cherry bb pink: ABSOLUTE WIZARD. Can manipulate the properties, form, or state of something using supernatural forces. AKA They can make stuff float. Other quirks are pending, they’re just a bb.

7. Lil Cherry bb blue:  ORACLE/BEACON. Do not look directly at them. Or at least be warned. Gazing upon their light is radically transformational. Other quirks are pending, they’re just a bb.

ITS ABSOLUTELY OK TO BE A CHAT FULL OF PEACHYS! But like, who do you know who’s a total Purple guy?

Love you, mean it,
