Juniper Gate Thicket
Bruno
“A fox kit about the size of a loaf of bread, with russet fur, white paws, and bright amber eyes, standing beside juniper shrubs and root arches.”
Bruno is a fox kit who stands as tall as a child's boot, with a lively, bouncy way of moving through Juniper Gate Thicket. He is bold and a little theatrical, and he feels most himself when there is a challenge to test and a crowd to impress.

The Bridge That Won’t Share
A narrow footbridge deep in Juniper Gate Thicket starts wobbling every time two creatures try to cross it together, so friends, siblings, and helpers get stranded on opposite sides of a stream. The forest paths still work for one traveler at a time, but the bridge’s shaking makes simple teamwork suddenly impossible.
When the Glow Goes Out
A family of lantern bugs that normally lights the evening paths has lost its glow right as dusk arrives, and the forest’s darker trails become hard to follow. The bugs are not broken—they are frightened by a new nighttime sound moving through the leaves, and until someone helps, the safest paths will stay too dark to use.
