Kaya, Emily’s mom, is a caring and thriving marmot working as a financial analyst for an Oil Company. Her sleek fur is always well-groomed showing her sense of control. Oh but except for that one wild curl that refuses to stay down, as if it mirrors her own challenge of balancing a busy career with her love for the family. She is an independent and many-sided woman fueled by high determination to achieve her goals. (No wonder Emily is that courageous!) Her great calculation skills and hard work have helped to secure a decent income for the family. Having to work a demanding job and not always being present, Kaya gets worried about Emily’s adventurous spirit. But she admires her curiosity and pushes her to find her true authentic self and path.

However, the world of finance isn’t always black and white. Kaya’s analytical mind is presented with complex dilemmas. As Emily grows her deep interest in the environment and questions the world around, Kaya becomes more aware of the impact of Oil Companies on climate change. This struggle leads to thoughtful conversations in the family that can change future dynamics.

Finn, Emily’s cool dad, is a giant otter. His fur is always a bit too messy. He has been adventurous when young, you can see his wave tattoo on the upper arm! There are also some worry lines now around his kind eyes resonating with the weight of responsibility he feels for the well- being of his family and surrounding community. Finn has helped his wife to follow her dreams and her career and has been there for Emily at all times. He is a local fisherman and the weight of the world seems to sit as a burden on his shoulders. Finn is now witnessing the fish's decline and unlike Emily’s youthful optimism, he appears to have less faith that the world can be changed. However, his daughter’s radical optimism crashes his beliefs at times. Finn loves Emily’s determination and will always be her best supporter.

Oz is Emily’s best friend, her true companion through thick and thin. Oz is nothing like the average raven! He is witty, has crazy ideas and his irony can sometimes be striking. He embraces colors as a means of expressing his wild and multidimensional self. You will find him sometimes painting the black feathers with all types of colours. Unfortunately, sometimes the other ravens find it as an insult to their heritage, but Oz won’t let disapproval break his spirit. His vibrant personality and love for the world makes the dream match with Emily. Whenever she will find herself gloomy, he will be there with the funny, playful jokes reminding her that life is nuanced and there is a whole spectrum of different possibilities.
