Image Description: A traditional-style watercolor illustration of Rolo Ripple, an anthropomorphic sticky toffee fairycake. His sponge base is a rich golden-brown, with a visible swirl of glossy caramel rippling through his crumb. A dollop of toffee-colored frosting sits on top, slightly uneven, as though it’s been jostled by his constant rushing about.
He has two caramel-drizzle wings, shiny and golden, which arc outward like ribbons of flowing toffee. His pose leans forward with lively energy, as though he’s just about to dart off on his next adventure. His arms are outstretched slightly, and his small cake-crumb legs are planted firmly, ready to spring.
Rolo’s expression is bright and mischievous — wide grin, sparkling eyes — giving him a cheeky, playful personality. A faint sugar mist swirls around his feet, and the peppermint grass is hinted at softly beneath him.
The overall tone is whimsical, painterly, and simple — in keeping with the Blindman Makes style, capturing Rolo Ripple as a spirited fairycake full of energy and curiosity.
Rolo Ripple
Pronouns: He/Him
Rolo Ripple is a sticky toffee sponge with a swirl of caramel running through him and wings that glisten like golden drizzle. He’s mischievous, bold, and always halfway through another plan — whether it’s leading friends on a treasure hunt, sneaking jam tarts from the picnic table, or testing out inventions that never quite work the way he intended.
Rolo isn’t careless, though — he’s curious. His heart is full of fizz and adventure, and even when his ideas get him (and the others) into a tangle, it’s his spark that often leads them somewhere new. His caramel-drizzle wings beat fast and loud, a blur of energy wherever he goes.
Sometimes Branberry mutters that Rolo is more trouble than he’s worth, but even Branberry would admit that life in the Hollow would be far less exciting without him. Rolo Ripple reminds us that curiosity and playfulness can uncover hidden wonders — even if you make a bit of a sticky mess along the way.
