Xanthe the Xerus

Xanthe is the speedy and energetic scout of the community — a ground squirrel who knows every nook and cranny of the plains. She’s the go-to for urgent messages, hidden information, and finding things that seem impossible to locate. Her tiny size and quick movements make her almost impossible to catch, which she uses to her advantage. She’s clever and resourceful, often using her surroundings creatively to solve problems or help friends. Her energy can be exhausting for slower animals, but she has a contagious enthusiasm that inspires everyone around her. Xanthe has a slightly mischievous streak, and she loves teasing friends — though never in a mean-spirited way. Xanthe dreams of exploring beyond her home plains, mapping new territories, and recording every interesting discovery she finds.
