The Characters
The Creatures of Harmony
Harmony is a magical land where the Bobos Babes went to escape from the virus that spread across Earth. Their parents, originally from Harmony, were only living on Earth to see what life was like among others that looked like them. Once Earth became infected with a virus, the parents knew it was time to take their daughters home to Harmony, a land of eternal happiness. The Babes had no recollection of their life on Earth once they arrived in Harmony.
The Bobos Babes are sisters, and although they each have unique regal titles, the ranks are equal. Despite their parents being the King and Queen of the land, the sisters are titled Angel, Princess, and Fairy. Each sister possesses unique magical powers and characteristics. The Angel and Fairy have wings and can fly; the Princess does not, but her sisters give her a hand, or rather a wing, when needed. Only the King, Queen, Bobos Babes, and their ancestors have human-like features, yet they are immortal and have magical powers.
All of the other creatures of Harmony are representations of animals, but they act human-like, in that they all speak, hold occupations, cook, etc. Some animals marry within their same species and others do not. In Harmony, all creatures co-exist.
Most creatures are representations of people who have brought meaning to our life. Not every creature is an actual person but was created because he or she fit well in the story line for a particular reason, such as Mr. Wiggles in The Case of the Giggles. If someone in our life becomes a creature of Harmony in a Bobos Babe Adventure, it's because they are loved.
Bobos Babes Adventures are illustrated by Brittany Roberson, Emily Hercock and Jazinel Libranda.
