Meet the Mascots

Aster

The starlit Adventurer

Species: Saltwater Crocodile

Place of Birth: Northern Australia

Age: Adult

Pronouns: They/Theirs

A is for Aster, awesomeness, and adventure! This happy-go-lucky crocodile is highly approachable with a relaxed, friendly personality, and can most often be described as cool, calm, and curious. They also stand with an air of confidence which makes them particularly ideal for leading the adventures they embark upon, and while they remain collected most of the time, they're also prone to being a bit snappy every now and again. Aster also happens to have a voracious appetite, and particularly loves snacking... OFTEN.

Billiam

The Hesitant Wanderer

Species: Greater Bilby 

Place of Birth: The Red-Hot Red Desert Heart of Australia

Age: Late teens / Young Adult

Pronouns: He/His

If not for the size of his ears, which are always pricked and alert to his surroundings, Billiam would be the shortest member of the trio. While one might mistake his hypervigilance for cowardice, the truth is that Billiam is just nervous, shy, easily startled.  He is a herbivorous marsupial and such traits are instinctive and highly advantageous to his species. He tends to consider situations with much less volume and far more caution than his peers, which means his carefully thought-out insights often provide them with superior reasoning, understanding, and safety. His soft personality and timid voice also give him the capacity to more easily disarm their arguments.

Quortney

The snappy pathfinder

Species: Eastern Quoll

Place of Birth: West Coast of Tasmania

Age: Adult

Pronouns: She/Her

The only thing small about Quortney is her stature. With a passionate temper like lightning, a mouth full of dagger-sharp teeth, and a jaw-bite powerful enough to crush solid bone, this deadly dasyurid is not one to dice with! Quortney can best be described as fierce and fiery, with stocky little feet and a thick, solid tail which gives her superior balance and all the dexterity needed for getting into fights. She's also a proud, stubborn little thing, LOVES to argue, and goes all-in, even when she knows she's wrong. In spite of her impulsive ferocity, there is no better friend to have on one's side when words won't work any more.
