Spindles

“I don’t just see what’s there. I see what’s coming.” —Spindles 

Character: The Sentinel of the Unseen

Personality: Spindles is quiet, focused, and deeply intuitive. He rarely speaks unless necessary, but when he does, his words are sharp and well-measured. He’s not cold, just observant. Every detail matters to him. He’s the SnipPets who notices when someone’s lying not by what they say, but by how they breathe. While others may laugh or race ahead, Spindles lingers in the background, piecing together meaning from what goes unsaid. Though serious and often mistaken for aloof, he has a deep well of care beneath his stoic expression. His protection comes from loyalty, and he would never let harm come to the village if he could stop it first.

He doesn’t need thanks. Just time to think.

Power: Spindles’ uneven eyes are his gift and his strength, one attuned to the physical, the other to the hidden patterns of energy and intention. He can perceive magical shifts before they erupt, see glimpses of possibilities, and track energies moving beneath the land like unseen tides. His curly-cue nose heightens this ability, letting him sense movement in the land’s energy like a compass for danger and imbalance. The secret pocket stitched into his frame holds more than trinkets; it’s a vessel for memory, protective magic, and stored energy, should the village ever face something too great to stop at the moment. Spindles doesn’t just watch, he prepares.

Role in the Story: Spindles is the quiet guardian of Mills Beary Village, a constant presence in the background—always observing, always attuned. His role is not just to protect the village from physical threats, but to anticipate the subtle, magical disturbances that most can’t even sense. He watches the winds for shifts, the earth for tremors, the air for whispers.

Though his gaze is mismatched and his shape not quite even, there’s no one more trusted when the skies begin to change. Spindles is proof that strength isn’t always loud, and that watching closely can be its own form of love.

Spindles doesn’t seek attention, he seeks truth, even the kind that hides in silence. He is the SnipPet who sees beyond the surface and notices the things others overlook, making him the village’s first line of defense against the unknown.

He watches not with fear, but with fierce love.
