Cari's Creatures

## Human Performers

### Cari the Creature Speaker: Carissa Schaefer

Cari is the amazing puppeteer and creature tamer behind Cari's Creatures. After meeting Namu the griffin and traveling to a few festivals with him, she decided to make things official. As her fanbase grew, she decided to start a dragon sanctuary and stage show where she could show off the amazing talents of herself and her wonderful creatures. The creatures may claim the spotlight, but they could never do it without the lovely Cari.

### Charlie the Stable Hand: Charlie McGuire

Charlie is a one of a kind creature handler and stable keeper. He is many of the beast's favorite person (behind maybe Cari), and it is not rare to find him being engulfed in their creature cuddle piles. During performances, it is his job to keep the dragon sanctuary running, make sure all the creatures are behaving and not trying to snack on guests, and tend to the gift shop, where visitors can adopt their own creatures. On top of all that, he is also a musician, and plays ukulele during many of the musical shows!

### Benjamin Griffinspeaker: Benjamin Tredway

Benjamin is the newest creature keeper. Though he takes care of all creatures, griffins are his specialty, especially hatchling griffins. His main duties are seeing to it that all creatures remain properly fed, housed, and groomed, as well as helping Cari wrangle any unruly behaviors during a performance. When he is not wrangling creatures, he may be seen practicing his own performing skills with a yo-yo!

## Creature Performers

### Namu

Namu is the friendly and playful young griffin that inspired Cari to create her creature sanctuary.

**Shows**: Story Time with Namu

### Sleifer

Sleifer is an aloof and nervous sea serpent with a love for shiny things and sea shanties.

**Shows**: Sing along with the Sea Serpent

### Maestro Capodastro “Capo”

Maestro Capodastro, or Capo, as he is known to his friends, is the proud and noble conductor of the forest. He is a lover of music, and is eager to regale all those around him with a tune, or better yet convince them to sing for him.

**Shows**: Dance with the Dragon

### Rao

Rao is the mischievous and happy go lucky luck dragon. Although she has not yet gotten her own stage show, like the other creatures, she does not let that get her down, and instead has chosen to take to the lanes.

### Nova

Nova is a Galaxy Dragon. She fell to the earth after being pulled in by a gravitational pull, and since then, she has been waiting her turn to debut as the newest performer in the Cari's Creatures Crew!

## Other Creatures/Honorable Mentions

### Camillia of the Roses

Camillia is a tiny flower dragon who helps Charlie in the shop. Small as she may be, she is quite fierce, and an excellent accountant. So don't even think about trying to swipe something! She will know...she always knows.

### Namo

Namo is a "little brother" to Namu the Griffin, and holds the special place of being the very first fully sized dragon to develop entirely at Cari's Creatures! He was commissioned by a special young lady and honorary pupeteer and creature tamer named Saphira (with a name like that how can you not love dragons?!), and now he visits her school to spread the word about how amazing creatures can be.

### Glykera

Glykera is a large, dragon (approximately the same size as Namu). She breaths smoke, and glows in the dark thanks to crystals in her body. She was adopted out to a very special and talented lady, but enjoys coming back to play with her friends from the sanctuary sometimes.

### Rosemary and Petunia

Trinket's pair of mischief making trinket dragons, aka "the draggies" were first bred at Cari's sanctuary. Although they go on many an adventure, they have never forgotten from whence they came, and make it a point to visit Cari when they are all in Petit Lyon.
