Chunglewood

At the boundary of Mellowdene County, near to the cabins of the Cornflower family, there is a dense forest that some refer to as Tall Trees Forest. Few venture far into the forest for fear of becoming lost - or so they say. In reality, directions become confused and anyone casually venturing into the forest will find themselves emerging outside, much to their confusion. However, somewhere within, there is a clearing that is the home to a modest community of critters. They are Woodzeez.

The spatial discontinuities also extended into the sky above the clearing. As such, rainfall tended to congregate in predictable areas rather than evenly. 

The Woodzeez critters generally keep to themselves, and they call their community Chunglewood.

The community is led by the Kingsberry family, and the adults are considered the King and Queen of Chunglewood.

These are the residents. 

The Kingsberry Lion family (4)

Roy and Katt Kingsberry have two children, Kip and Kya. The Kingsberrys are called upon to lead the community and determine the objectives of the Chunglewood people having been provided with the relevant facts. Although they accept the role and title, they strive to prevent the usual connotations of a royal title to affect their character.

The Callisto Bear family (4) (Healthnuggle)

Todd Callisto and his wife Barb are the healers who ensure Chunglewood is kept healthy.  They have a daughter Hazel and a tiny boy Romeo.

 

The Canberra Koala family (4)

Father Sydney Canberra is married to Mel and they have a daughter Tessa and a tiny boy Teddie.

The Chippendale Chipmunk  family (4) (Scamperscoot)

Chewy Chippendale marrided Marigold Scamperscoot and they have a son Snap and a tiny daughter Peanunt.

The Porcini Pig family (4) (Curlicue)

Father Roberto and Maria Porcini have a son Toby and a tiny Olive.

Roberto has a younger brother Ricardo, but he is no longer a resident of Chunglewood. He lives in Mellowdene.

The path out of Chunglewood was considered too long by virtually all residents but not Ricardo. He wanted to travel and write about what he finds. His family would prefer he did not live away but they accept his differences. Roy Kingsberry,  the king of Chunglewood has taken advantage of Ricardo's desire to be a travel writer and has asked him to document particular aspects of his journeys - and note if he finds any other Woodzeez in Sylvania.

Having become a freelance writer, he publishes his work in assorted newspapers and has even written some popular travel books. This helps finance his journeys, his apartment at Mellowdene House, and a small van. 

 

The Quiller Owl family (4) (Whooswhoo)

Owen & Delores Quiller have a son Pete and a baby daughter Peep. Owen and his family maintain the Chunglewood archives and are available to provide advice and counsel to aid decision making. Pete is sometimes called upon to act as a scribe to document official meetings, these feeding into the archives.
