characters
We talked about teachers and 'mentor' figures in our culture, their role and relationships with children/students and how we would like to adapt and adopt this into our series, in a slightly unconventional manner. For now we shall refer to this person/thing as MF (Mentor Figure).
MF is a rich and layered character (we still have to do the enriching and layering) who appears at the moment when a child is explodingly(not a word, I know but it describes perfectly) curious about something that they cannot figure out or are not happy with the explanation that they are given. MF is constant throughout the series, encountering a a different child(+ pet/friend/cousin) in each book of the series
MF is a fantastic(literally), magical and mysterious. In the series, MF takes the child(+ pets) /children on journeys and adventures, explaining and allowing the child to figure out the mysteries of the world for themselves.
