JELLY CAT

With thick-rimmed specs, boundless enthusiasm, and a backpack full of facts no one asked for, he’s the quiz night champion all the Amuseables want on their team. If you need him, he’ll be in his room, coding his own board game – or correcting the subtitles on classic sci-fi films. Soft? At heart, yes. Scrambled? Emotionally, sometimes. But always a delight to have around.

Looking for Leola Bear? You’ll likely find her in her South London studio – surrounded by painting, sculptures and fashion designs. When she’s not there, she’s off traveling; looking for inspiration – and the perfect shade of plum. A talented, distracted artist (with a habit of reheating the same mug of tea three times), Leola always gets lost in the process. She can’t help it – when inspiration strikes, the hours just melt away… Fortunately, her cousin Bartholomew Bear is always on-hand with a tea top-up and (slightly squashed) plate of biscuits. He knows the drill! He also happens to be her favorite muse. She’s made every one of his costumes, from the ruby fluff of his Heartthrob stage outfit to the Bat Bear cape that he wore for a Halloween party. Even his bold Sun costume was a Leola original, designed to give him confidence for an upcoming carnival debut. One day her talent will be recognized. For now though, Leola’s happy making magical things for her friends and family.

Pinchsnap Crab has a job he takes very seriously. Not just anybody can be a pillow tester – it takes a lot of time and effort. 12 hours per shift, if Pinchsnap has his way. Luckily, he was born for it. A natural napper, he knows his eiderdown from his cotton and he’s a firm believer in ensuring his fellow Jellies enjoy the fluffiest of snoozes. His favorite birthday? The time he dozed through his alarm and woke up the next day.

Nobody quite knows what Hoppleston Luxe Bunny does – and that’s exactly how she likes it! One day she’s at a gallery opening, the next she’s front row at a fashion show (with Bartholomew Bear in borrowed shades), and by Friday she’s somehow hosting a supper club in her penthouse suite. Her phone never stops buzzing, and her diary’s a mystery even to her assistant. Rumor has it she once tried to hold a press conference to announce that she had no announcements! Effortless, elegant, and ever-so-slightly elusive, Hoppleston is the bunny everyone wants on their guest list.

Bartholomew Bear has turned over a new leaf. Once a devoted homebody at heart, he’s boldly decided to embrace the Great Outdoors... with a little encouragement from Bashful Bunny and an earthy ensemble handstitched by his cousin, Leola Bear. Seasoned hikers admire his dedication to comfort over ruggedness. He pitches his tent only on the softest of mossy banks and measures every trail by its available snoozing spots. In fact, he’s decided that his trusty knapsack serves him best as... well, a nap sack. He loves to roll it out and use it as a sleeping bag. Care to join him for a cosy campfire tale?

Rufferty Puppy 'Wizard' may not be the most talented magician, but he’s certainly the most enthusiastic! He’s spent years chasing his dream to conjure up the perfect bone, but his spells rarely go according to plan. The most recent attempt transported him to the brass section of an orchestra – it wasn’t until he realized he was hovering above the trombone players that he noticed his mistake. Still, Rufferty sees every magical mishap as an adventure. A wag of the head, a moment to chuckle... and his quest continues.
