Image Description.
A watercolor illustration of Branberry Crumbletop, an anthropomorphic fairycake. His sponge is a warm golden-brown with a rough, crumbly topping resembling streusel scattered with tiny berry pieces. A light dusting of sugar crystals catches the light on top of his frosting.
He has two broad, sturdy wings made of oat-parchment — textured, slightly rough, and shaped like thick, reliable leaves. His stance is grounded and solid, arms crossed with a slight slouch, giving him a gruff but dependable air.
Branberry’s expression is a mix of grumble and kindness: his mouth curved into a half-frown, but his eyes soft and warm, betraying the gentle heart beneath his crust. At his side rests a small honey jar, hinting at his fondness for quiet mornings with tea.
The background is soft and simple — a misty woodland clearing painted in pale washes of green and sugar-white, keeping the focus on Branberry.
The overall tone is whimsical, painterly, and cosy — perfectly capturing Branberry Crumbletop as the sturdy, gruff-yet-kind fairycake of Fluffwood Hollow.
Branberry Crumbletop
Pronouns: He/Him
Branberry Crumbletop is a hearty oat-and-berry sponge with a crunchy crumble crown. His wings are made of oat-parchment, wide and sturdy, gliding low and steady across the Hollow. He prefers his mornings quiet, with a mug of cinnamon tea and a spoonful of honey — and he’ll grumble if either is interrupted.
Though he sometimes seems prickly, Branberry has one of the warmest hearts in Fluffwood. He cares deeply for the Hollow and for the other fairycakes, even if his affection often comes wrapped in a muttered complaint. He’s dependable, practical, and steady as the turning of the seasons.
Branberry is also the Hollow’s quiet problem-solver. While Rolo leaps before he looks, and Cherry doubts before she tries, Branberry simply sighs, rolls up his sleeves, and gets things done. Beneath his nutty crust, he’s proof that even the gruffest crumb can be full of kindness.
