This urchin can be a bit prickly at first, but is very sweet once you get to know him. Though a bit of a liability on a football team, he’s a great team player if you’re willing to sacrifice a few balls.

A non-traditional mermaid.
This little anemone can be quite shy at first, but is lots of fun once you get to know her. She is very fond of her resident family of clownfish, who live in her fabulous hair.

Meet Felicity!
The first alligator snapping turtle volleyball champion! At first, her spikey shell got her in trouble for equipment violations, but she lobbied to have it correctly defined as part of her.
Now she's a staple of the team, and a thorn in the side of the opposition.

Meet Ernest!
Despite his awkward hooves, he wants to learn to skate. He's not very good yet. But he keeps on trying!
Sometimes getting better at something is just as much about getting back up again.
And his Mum makes sure he wears his pads, just in case.
