Pip

Supporting cast

The Lost & Found Forest

Gentle, shy, and easily startled — hides when scared (a tapir needs forest cover, so the bare clearing terrifies her). Quietly curious and sweet-natured, with a deep, patient calm that mirrors Wiggle. Doesn't realize her own quiet power: everywhere she wanders, the seeds she drops grow into new forest — she's a little gardener who plants hope without knowing it. Warms up slowly into trusting, brave, and full of wonder.

Species: Malayan tapir calf
