BOD ADOPTION AGENCY

Alfhild is a traditional Viking Bod except his ancestors always lived in the mountains. After many years on Bodmin Moor, he is looking to move into a family that at least has some hills he can climb. He realises that with such little legs he might need some help but he lives in hope that he can be adopted by someone who likes climbing and will take him with them.

Meya has learned that his ancestors were royalty in the old days when in Scandinavia and though much of his history may have been made up after a few drops of the local brew by his parents he has decided that it is true and so carved himself a little throne from a log he found on the moor. He realises that he is perhaps a better maker of weapons than furniture and is hoping he will be adopted by someone who can make him a much better throne, more suitable for his status.

Myrk is quite a small bod and has always been a bit of a loner. With his white beard he looks a lot older than he actually is (Only 127 ½) He loves things that are different hence his fancy weaponry and helmet. Also likes the odd tipple. Though he is small he has a strong will and wants to be seen as a warrior rather than just a little bod. He gets annoyed when people tell him he is cute, he would rather they say he is obviously a Bod to be reckoned with

Bernard has been living over a butcher’s shop for some time. Unfortunately for him the family he lives with are almost vegetarian so he doesn't get much chance to be like his heroes in the shop downstairs. He has learned to make sausages and that is all so far. He would love to be adopted by a family that really know what to do with meat and he is really keen to learn how to do chops, steaks and things.

Pinky is a very girly Bod and, as we can see loves the colour pink. She decided to live up to this and renamed herself Pinky. (She was called Bertha before) She always wanted to be a hairdresser and would also like to move on and start doing nails as well if she can be adopted by someone who can teach her. As yet she hasn't actually cut anyone’s hair but is living in hope that there is someone out there who will adopt her and actually let her free with some scissors.

 Inaxx is from a mixed Bod family with a wizard father and a mother whose family were the Piskies of Cornwall. His mother was a lover of fashion and often wore clothes that seemed silly to the traditional Bods. Inaxx has the same love of fashion is often looked down on because he likes to be different, Bodsare very bigoted. He grew up admiring his father but because of his mixed heritage isn’t allowed to carry on as a wizard though he has secret lessons from his father.

 Trusorin has a slight problem. He, passed through his apprenticeship on Bodmin Moor but then became  arrogant  thinking that he was better than all the older, traditional wizards. He made the mistake of mixing up some bad potions and as a result had a few little explosions that burnt off one of the Viking Bods beards. This nearly got him killed as the idea of a Bod without a beard is heresy. As a result, he has come the agency in a bit of a rush looking for a new home

 DELBERT

Delbert is not a traditional Bod and has always loved human   music. He has decided to make himself a set of drums but hasn’t really got the hang of it and so (perhaps fortunately) has yet to make any real noise. He   does want to learn and is looking to find a home with proper cymbals and   drums and someone to teach him how to use them. His heroes are the country rock bands who he hopes to be able to emulate one day

 Benny's real name is Benjamin but he has always been called Benny though he would prefer to be called Benjamin after one of his heroes, the poet Benjamin Zephaniah. He has always liked the kind of music that he has heard humans playing and would love to be a part of a band if he could. He is hoping that he will be able to find some likeminded humans and possibly Bods through the Agency. In the meantime, he has made himself a drum  and will keep practicing. 

BABA

Baba once crept up to a cottage on the Moor and through the window watched something that changed his life forever. He saw an African drummer called Babtunde playing  a djembe,  and he fell in love with  the rhythms. The other Bods were horrified at his rejection of his traditional Bod name (Jakob) and made it clear he stopped his nonsense or left the Moor. He had heard of the Adoption Agency so he decided to find a new home where he could follow his heart

 Ginny has spent much of her life doing what she was expected to do, making clothes for other Bods and cooking. She has had enough and though she still loves making clothes she wants to try different things not just the boring cardigans and stuff usually worn. She has decided to come and see if she can find a home with people who see knitting and crochet work as a proper craft and has brough some of her equipment with her. Hopefully she will find a home where knitting is seen as a true craft
