Character: Mayara

Mayara was first conceived as a Tamarin the size of a tamarind seed, although she’s gotten a bit bigger over the years! She is exuberant and into everything, especially being physical in her body and doing science… particularly science she can do on the go. This is a little tricky for some science, but astronomy while upside down in a tree is still astronomy.

She trains in Aikido and sometimes mediates for a WHOLE minute!
