First up...
Porter Protoceratops
Porter is a small ceratopsian dino (like a little Triceratops!). He's friends with Sam, Ollie, Echo, and Ned! Being so little, Porter is often nervous or spooked by his surroundings. He tends to be braver with his friends... but not by much! He doesn't like loud noises or waiting... and he can be surprisingly sassy!
Sam Saltasaurus
Sam is a friendly pink sauropod (long-necked dino!) who enjoys collecting shells, and fashion especially, for her hobbies! For work though, she helps out Archie Apatosaurus at the farmer's market. She's close friends with Trixie, Porter, Ollie, and Petra! She wants to be better friends with Irene and Peggy too, but they don't all cross paths often.
Ollie Olorotitan
Ollie is a Hadrosaur, one of several dinos in the same big group as Parasaurolophus! Ollie is a little loud and stubborn, but he has a big heart he's quite the giver too! He's good friends with Sam and Porter, and is starting to get to know an interesting new mermaid dino named Iago?
Echo Einiosaurus
Echo is a medium-sized ceratopsian, about twice Porter's height! They love headbutting contests and testing their strength, but they know how to be gentle and protective when it comes to the little dinos! Echo is close with Porter, Peggy, Irene, Ned, and Marco... but especially Porter! They've been friends since they were little! They're also starting to develop some common friendships with Dani Dilophosaurus.... a carnivore!
Petra Pachycephalosaurus
Pachycephalosaurus are known for their dome-shaped heads, but Petra kind of wishes they weren't! She prefers to wear a cute hat instead. Petra loves reading and baking, and she's good friends with Sam and Trixie! She's also forming a friendship with Piper, who she has a lot in common with.
Cedar Ceratosaurus
Cedar is a therapod - in the same big group as velociraptor, and t-rex! Brash and bold, Cedar loves to ROAR! Which can be a little scary, honestly. Despite his blustering bravery, though, Cedar has a soft spot for dinos who need help. He absolutely adores Claude Carnotaurus, who he seems to be his best self around! By contrast, whenever he and Alice Austroraptor get together they seem to bring out the absolute most-mischievous worst in each other...
Alice Austroraptor
Relative of the famous velociraptor, austroraptor is theorized to have been a pretty good fisher! Alice herself, maybe not so much. She's a great sidekick though, a fluffy, goofy friend who loves to get up to trouble! She adores shiny things and could pilfer like a pirate, so dinos need to be mindful when Alice is about! She thinks Cedar is just the best and loves making trouble with him, while sharing in a bit of a one-sided rivalry with Vicky Velociraptor.
