Pure Heart Valley

**Pure Heart Valley** is the main setting of *Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart*. It's first seen in "I Love You Mao Mao".

## Geography

Pure Heart Valley is a heavily-forested region. It is also moderately hilly and surrounded by tall mountains.

## Pure Heart Kingdom

The Pure Heart Kingdom is home to the Sweetypies, a colorful race of small animals ruled by King Snugglemagne. They're very friendly and peaceful people, but the majority of them lack any combat skills, and are unable to defend themselves. However, there are Sweetypies who are capable of combat, the most notable example being Adorabat.

## Ruby Pure Heart

The Ruby Pure Heart is a gargantuan, heart-shaped crystalline object that sits on top of the kingdom, protecting the Sweetypies with its magical cloaking power. After Mao Mao accidentally crashes into it, the Ruby Pure Heart gains a star-shaped crack on its surface and is no longer functional. This, however, hasn't deterred Orangusnake, who still attempts to steal it in his quest to rule the world. In the episode "Orangusnake Begins", it's revealed to possess mysterious magical properties, as it released a beam of energy which turned the Sky Pirates' Airship into a mechanical titan. Later, in "Zing Your Heart Out", its energy affected Adorabat, giving her powers to turn her "heckling" into energy blasts capable of hurting people and destroying buildings, but taking control of her.
Clark Lockjaw

**Clark Lockjaw** is a seal inhabitant of Pure Heart Valley, and one of the reporters in charge of the kingdom's news.

## Appearance

He is a small greenish-grey seal with large eyes who usually wears a yellow jacket with the hood up, hiding his ears (assuming he has any).

## Trivia

* His voice is unintelligible and sounds similar to a seal barking. However, the other Sweetypies and Mao Mao seem to be able to understand him.
* It is unknown how he is able to walk on land, as he presumably has flippers instead of feet.
Benny

**Benny** is a dog inhabitant of Pure Heart Valley.

## Appearance

Benny is a floppy-eared cream yellow dog with a chubby face and has some sort of whiskers. He has black round eyes. Around his neck is a red collar with a light orange diamond-shaped tag.

## Personality

Benny is generally nice, but isn’t the brightest. According to Mao Mao, he and Penny always ignore the dangers of picnicking in the middle of a road for more than once. Another example is how he takes figurative speech literally, mistaking "run the store" as running away from it.

He can be timid as well, hugging Penny when they are both frightened.

Benny can be saddened over the slightest matter. For example, when he and Penny had their electricity poached and are flat-out told they were unloved, he reflexively gets upset.

## Trivia

* Benny closely resembles Penny, with whom he shares a close relationship, except that he is yellow.
	+ It is confirmed in The Perfect Couple that he and Penny are a couple.
* Benny is a nickname for "Ben", the abbreviation of the name "Benjamin".
* "The Perfect Couple" revealed that he doesn't know how to bake.

Ronald

**Ronald** is a seldom-seen guard in King Snugglemagne's castle, often appearing in and out of the shadows to take away prisoners on behalf of the King's orders.

## Appreance

Ronald appears to be incredibly tall, even more so than Badgerclops.

He wears the typical uniform of all the palace guards, with the addition of a mask over his face.

## Personality

Ronald only shows up upon the King's request for someone to be "taken away". He does this in a rather menacing way, but eases up when the King dismisses him.

## Abilites

* **Stealth**: Ronald  appears to come and go from the shadows whenever the King orders him to take someone away.  He can appear right behind his target without them noticing, as well a disappearing almost as quickly as he entered.

## Trivia

* He seems to be the most menacing Sweetypie in Pure Heart Valley.
* Much like Quinton, he appears seemingly out of nowhere, despite whenever or wherever on the King's demand, despite wherever he maybe at.
* It is unknown where he takes his prisoners when the King orders them to be "taken away". Quinton was taken by him in "Fright Wig", but then he returned alright later on.
* Ronald's wearing of a mask on his face may be a reference to a medieval executioner, who wear black masks over their faces before an execution.
* He bears a heavy resemblance to one of Orangusnake's Sky Pirates that fell out of his ship in the first episode. Both are incredibly tall and muscular, and both have pointed ears and glowing eyes.

Adorabat/Chronology

This page represents the story for Adorabat.

## Prologue

Prior to the series, Adorabat used to live with her parents Sonara and Eugene in a mansion. Her mother Sonara used to bring Adorabat to accompany on her cave explorations, but one day, they ran into a cave dragon. Adorabat was saved and protected by Sonara, but ultimately Sonara who sacrificed herself to the dragon was gone from Adorabat's life forever. It was also implied that this incident caused her to lose one of her legs.

Since then, Eugene had become an overprotective father due to the fear of losing Adorabat. However, instead of feeling safe, Adorabat felt smothered, which was why she began to dream of becoming a hero so that she could venture for adventures.

## Season 1

In "I Love You Mao Mao", Adorabat dreamed of becoming a hero, but got shunned away by Chubbum and Ketchup. She later met Mao Mao and Badgerclops who both crash-landed in the kingdom and began admiring them relentlessly, eager to team up with them. At first, Mao Mao was reluctant to accept her request, but after she helped both of them defeat the Sky Pirates, Mao Mao finally allowed her to be part of his team.

In "No Shortcuts", Adorabat felt bummed for not being able to contribute much during her fight with the Sky Pirates, thus she was given the Mega-Mech. However, she wasn't able to harness the tech's powers properly, and even got harmed by Orangusnake and the pirates. Fortunately, she was able to use her past experiences to defeat the Sky Pirates, but Mao Mao decides to destroy her Mega-Tech for the better.

In "Zing Your Heart Out", after being insulted by Chester Nutz, Adorabat got possessed by the Ruby Pure Heart and began to shoot beams to inflict emotional pain on people she disliked. At first, she was able to snap out but soon the corrupted powers of the heart took almost full control of her mind. She even briefly usurped King Snugglemagne's throne under the Pure Heart's control. However, she was ultimately rescued by Mao Mao and Badgerclops who used jokes to broke her free, and she apologized to them after the incident.
Cobbler

**Cobbler**is a dish consisting of a fruit or savory filling poured into a large baking dish and covered with a batter, biscuits, or dumplings before being baked.  It is shown to be the favorite food of Mao Mao, much to the disapproval of his family. Muffins, Farmer Bun, and Badgerclops have all been shown as capable of preparing the dish.

## History

For reasons unknown, Cobbler has historically been banned by the Mao Clan, as it is forbidden by *The Hero's Code*, with Shin Mao stating how it is against his familial hero's code.

## Trivia

* Cobbler is a dessert that originated in British America colonies as a replacement for the suet pudding that the English settlers were unable to bake.
	+ The name "cobbler" might be derived from *cobeler*, an archaic word that means "wooden bowl".

## Appearance

She has tan skin, and has a metal neck that stretches up. Also, she has a red helmet and armor.

## Personality

Ramaraffe, somewhat like the other skypirates, is a bit niave when it comes to her overall behavior. Seen as the brawler of the group, there is no doubt there were points where she has acted violent, whether it be emotionally or physically.

Villains

**Villains** are characters with evil intentions, typically for personal gain. Some villains are open about their sinister ways, while others prefer trickery.

## Recurring

### Shin Mao

To Be Taught, If Fortunate

In her new novella, author Becky Chambers imagines a future in which, instead of terraforming planets to sustain human life, explorers of the solar system instead transform themselves.

Ariadne is one such explorer. As an astronaut on an extrasolar research vessel, she and her fellow crewmates sleep between worlds and wake up each time with different features. Her experience is one of fluid body and stable mind and of a unique perspective on the passage of time. Back on Earth, society changes dramatically from decade to decade, as it always does.

Ariadne may awaken to find that support for space exploration back home has waned, or that her country of birth no longer exists, or that a cult has arisen around their cosmic findings, only to dissolve once more by the next waking. But the moods of Earth have little bearing on their mission: to explore, to study, and to send their learnings home.

Tower of Mud and Straw

**Author:**

After leaving his ball and chain at the workplace, Yaroslav Barsukov goes on to write stories that deal with things he himself, thankfully, doesn’t have to deal with. He’s a software engineer and a connoisseur of strong alcoholic beverages—but also, surprisingly, a member of SFWA and Codex (how did that happen?). At some point in his life, he’s left one former empire only to settle in another.

*Synopsis:*

"THE QUEEN BELIEVES HER LEGACY IS A TWO THOUSAND FOOT MONSTROSITY. DRAKIRI BELIEVE THAT SAME MONSTROSITY WILL BRING ABOUT THE APOCALYPSE. ONE BELIEF AGAINST THE OTHER."

Minister Shea Ashcroft took pity on innocents. The result was violence and exile. Out on the border, all he's in charge of now is construction of the queen's massive defensive tower, using technology brought by refugees from another world. But one of them warns him that the plan to use her people's devices may draw attention none of them can afford. If Shea backtracks, his future will be destroyed. If he doesn't, they all may be.

Spin the Dawn

Maia Tamarin dreams of becoming the greatest tailor in the land, but as a girl, the best she can hope for is to marry well.

She knows her life is forfeit if her secret is discovered, but she'll take that risk to achieve her dream and save her family from ruin.

Backstabbing and lies run rampant as the tailors compete in challenges to prove their artistry and skill. Maia's task is further complicated when she draws the attention of the court magician, Edan, whose piercing eyes seem to see straight through her disguise.

And nothing could have prepared her for the final challenge: to sew three magic gowns for the emperor's reluctant bride-to-be, from the laughter of the sun, the tears of the moon, and the blood of stars. With this impossible task before her, she embarks on a journey to the far reaches of the kingdom, seeking the sun, the moon, and the stars, and finding more than she ever could have imagined.
Man and Superman

Author: Marv Wolfman, Artist: Claudio Castellini

Synopsis: Clark Kent has come to Metropolis like any other small-town boy chasing his dreams. Grabbing any work he can find, he struggles to become a reporter for the Daily Planet like his journalistic idol Lois Lane...and to figure out a way to use his incredible hidden powers to help the city he loves."

This story describes a part of Superman's life that is seldom explored. As Wolfman explains, "Although he came from another place, Clark was raised in the small town Smallville from the time he was an infant. In my mind he is far more a child of Kansas than of Krypton.
Clark might have super powers, but they can’t help a young boy from a small town cope with a city larger than anything he had ever seen before. He may be able to bend steel in his bare hands, but that won’t help him find his very first apartment. Or job. He might be invulnerable, but that doesn’t teach him how to deal with the forces that all of us, born without powers, must face every day of our lives." Wolfman also described how he wanted to show Clark's first encounter with Lois Lane by hearing her speak but without seeing her, as he always felt Clark was attracted to her mind and talent first and her beauty later.
Truth Plus

“Nah. We are one hundred percent shit-outta-luck,” she said, voice high and brittle as she leaned back from the computer. She gave a tight little laugh as she gestured at different possible trajectories, the different deflections achievable with nukes or booster rockets or heroic space missions. The wall of screens in front of us showed projected death tolls and ecological changes, with a lot of graphs that dropped sharply right at the end. “Earth is, uh … not to be melodramatic about it, but, *absolutely doomed*.”

I glanced at the screen, then out the window. The comet wasn’t quite visible with the naked eye yet, but I’d be damned if that little spot in the night sky didn’t seem a little brighter than the others.

It would get brighter yet.
