Raloo Farm and Tara Characters:

Piggley Winks
This spirited eight-year-old pig is our hero and the unofficial leader of the youngsters in and around the village of Tara. He's a spunky, creative, imaginative rascal, with a streak of mischief running through his veins and a definite gift of the gab. His favorite activity is going on adventures (don't ask him to sit still!) with his two best friends, Ferny the Bull and Dannan the Duck.If there's a simple, straightforward way of doing something...it's of no interest to Piggley! He'd rather uncover the mysteries in everyday life, explore the outer reaches of imagination, and cook up exciting new schemes.

Ferny Toro
Ferny's enthusiasm for new experiences and his deep admiration for Piggley make him a loyal, eager, trustworthy and devoted friend. He's an innocent, strong, loyal, fun-loving eight-year-old, who is cautious but curious. He likes speaking Spanish with his dad, Don Toro, and enjoys making up his own songs (in fact, it's his favorite music). Ferny sees the good in everyone and everything.
Dannan O'Mallard
The level head in this wildly energetic world, Dannan is one sensible and down-to-earth duck. However, when push comes to shove, the pluck in this duck surfaces and she will bravely rush in to assist her friends. Pragmatic, smart and courageous, Dannan can be stubborn and logical to a fault-but she's also a sucker for romantic songs, and loves nothing more than being with her friends (and dislikes nothing more than being left out!).
Wiley the Sheep
A legend in his own mind, Wiley was imported from America to join Raloo Farm. He's much more hip and aware than any of the sheep around him, and tries every trick in the book to get the flock to loosen up a little-sing, dance, anything besides standing around chewing grass all the time, following along like, well, sheep! But here's Wiley's little secret: Though he sometimes gets exasperated with his sheepish followers, he hides a soft spot for them under his wise-guy exterior.
Molly Winks
Piggley's independent, plucky, adorable five-year old sister, Molly is always ready at a moment's notice to get in there and play with the big kids. In fact, she's annoyed that she's not old enough to go to school yet. When the other kids aren't around, Molly is content to amuse herself using her own world of imagination.

Mrs. Winks
The earthy, no-nonsense mother of Piggley and Molly, she also has a twinkle in her eye. She enjoys cooking for her family (especially corned beef, cabbage and apple pie), but isn't too pleased when Piggley and his friends sneak off with the fresh pie she just baked! Fortunately, she appreciates Piggley's imagination, and is always loving and supportive.






Present Day Characters:

Grandpa Piggley
A masterful storyteller with a great sense of adventure, Grandpa is a warm and loving grandfather who still retains much of the rascally quality of his youth. He loves to spin good tales, particularly those about his adventurous childhood back on Raloo Farm. Although Grandpa Piggley may embellish a bit, his stories have a strong core of universal truth about them.
