Madge

Madge, a turtle, is the incarnation of knowledge and nurturing as she watches over all the creatures in the jungle with her wise, bespectacled eyes. She's been all over the world and has the depth of knowledge only experience can bring. Madge carries the world on her back - literally. Because somehow, as her shell developed over the centuries, the continents and oceans just seemed to etch themselves upon it - so now her shell is a world map, making her the largest Map Turtle in the world. And though she's hundreds of years old, she always makes sure to have her claws clipped and her glasses just "so."
