Jerry Hazelnut

'Anything is possible on a day in summer vacation!'

And since he still has two days of summer vacation left, there should be plenty of adventure ahead for a boy like Jerry.
Whether it's the occasional blackberry-mission for his mother, deep-forest expeditions, or following the trail of the legendary Gremlinwolf: Jerry's imagination knows no bounds.
If only school wasn't starting again in two days: Math, leaky pens... hard wooden benches, dry chalk dust...not to mention the disturbing lack of appreciation towards a certain aspiring magician's tricks, even though Jerry's greatest dream is to become a famous illusionist!
It's not easy being a twelve year old.
But that won't stop Jeremiah Hazelnut!

Marquis de Hoto

'Nothing is impossible...'

…after all he is a human-sized talking rabbit who mastered all of magic's facets. As he wandered between countless worlds, the piercing red eyes of the Marquis de Hoto have, without doubt, seen the strangest and most fascinating of places. Magic itself seems to guide this spellcasting rabbit to wherever his aid is needed.
So it doesn't seem like a coincidence that, of all people, he crosses the path of Jerry Hazelnut, whose greatest dream is to become a real magician.
But is this all he has in store for Jerry? You might wonder if there is more to the Marquis' plan. This magician, however, always keeps his secrets to himself...

Plato

Plato is a frog in his prime and a bon vivant of the old block. No one in Mousewood probably has a bigger collection -or passion- for Jazz and Swing: music, filling the streets with life and rhythm back in the days.

As an enthusiastic singer and violinist he dearly misses the times when he played gigs with the band on many of Mousewood's clearings.

But since music alone does not keep you alive, Plato rides his trusty bike every morning and makes sure everyone in Mousewood gets their mail.

The Wood Dwarves

The Wood Dwarves of Mousewood are famous for their homebrewn Blue Juice. The people of Mousewood hope very much, that somewhere hidden beneath the grumpy and stern surface the Wood Dwarfes are just as sweet as their best selling beverage.

The Circle of Moonlight

They are nomads from a different world, living in solitude on the highest peaks of the north-western woods.
Little is known about them, but their story is a truly sad one.
A story about restlessness and a home long lost.
Don't be lead astray by their alien appearance. These travellers are wary, but even in the face of all the suffering they have seen, their hearts are kind and they guard the mystic knowledge of the worlds they left behind before they chose Mousewood as their home.

Ursula

Well, who's this little owl? Meet Ursula Owl. She's the niece of Mousewood's counsel chairman. This adorable barrel of monkeys may need your help very soon...

The Backpack Mouse

This little fellow earns his living by doing small jobs around Mousewood. But it's not easy to be a mouse these days. Some of his friends disappeared during the last crow attack and now on top of all things a ghost seems to be shadowing each of his steps!

The Shady Strangers

Lately mysterious strangers have been seen around Mousewood. If you run into one of them you'll surely hear him saying: "We have arrived. We will be the solution." Some claim the strangers are trying to sell something ... but what?

Mr Churchmouse and his son Junior

Churchmice aren't in the position to give quality items away for free, but if you can pay and are in need of things, stuff or junk then Mr. Churchmouse and his son junior will gladly help you out. Right Junior? ... Junior?

Konrad

As a senior member of the Mousewood City Council Conrad the Owl holds a lot of responsibility. If only his niece Ursula and his chuckling colleague Jonathan Squirrel weren't keeping him from doing his work! And to make things worse a lot of strangers are arriving in town and talk of magic and other oddities. How's an owl supposed to work like that?

Kitsune

'Hihihi, so you've found me...'
There are rumors about a strange fox roaming the forest at night.
No one knows its business, or why it strides through Mousewood. They say, foxes are masters of disguise, even capable of shpaeshifting. Only those who match a fox's cunning can see through their masquerade.
Don't let them fool you, for foxes play games only by their own rules.
And only they know, if they wish you well...or harm.

Humbert

When someone in Mousewood screams for sweets and keeps the citizens of the usually quiet town on their toes, Humbert probably isn't very far. The little scoundrel causes a lot of trouble, which, according to his mouse sitter Anja, is down to the fact that the gifted little rascal constantly feels not challenged enough.
