Overview
[edit]The series recounts the tale of young Stella, along with her friends Luca, Willow, Poppy, and Dahlia, who embark on adventures together, while dealing with the evil schemes of Gale, the former friend of Stella, who is the Queen of the minion pigs in Golden Island.
Characters
[edit]Main characters
[edit]- Stella – A pink galah[citation needed], who is the de facto leader of the flock, being described as adventurous, fierce, friendly, courageous, and bold.[1] Despite being very upset with her former friend Gale for the latter's departure and betrayal in the name of vanity, she still considers Gale a friend.
- Dahlia – A brownish long-eared owl, who acts as the brains of the flock, being a smart inventing genius, as well as the oldest member. However, some of her inventions and experiments backfire and become dangerous for others.[2]
- Luca – A sky blue scrub-jay, who is the youngest and only male in the flock.[3] He is very playful and imaginative (having a liking for building). Unlike the others, Luca has little to no ill-will towards Gale after the latter left the flock.
- Poppy – A light yellow Cockatiel, who has a fondness for music. Although she means well, Poppy has a tendency to get loud with playing the drums, which annoys the group. She also occasionally pulls pranks on her friends, which they dread.[4]
- Willow[5] – A shy dark blue western crowned pigeon with feathers resembling dreadlocks (most of which are concealed underneath her signature striped, floppy hat). Despite her shyness and insecurity, Willow is a very talented artist and specializes in painting portraits. She also acts as an older sister figure to Luca.
- Gale – A selfish and extremely vain dark purple violet-backed starling, who is Queen of the minion pigs and a former member of the flock.[6] She left the flock to become the minion pigs' Queen, because, unlike her friends, the pigs were willing to do anything she wanted. Despite leaving the flock, Gale remains highly motivated to keep the attention of her former friends, which often comes into direct conflict with her superiority complex. In the series finale, Gale eventually reconciles with Stella.
Supporting characters
[edit]- Handsome Pig, a pig with a blond wig and Gale's right-hand man, who has an unrequited crush on Gale and will do anything to impress her.
- Minion Pigs, pigs who are assistants of Gale, but annoy her with their witlessness.
- Artist Pig, the pig whom Gale hires to make paintings for her (though his art skills are not to her liking). He later becomes friends with Willow.
