The two brothers
By design, neither one of them can reach the answer alone.
Lattybig brother
Dependable — but he never hides it when he doesn't know.
When he doesn't know, he opens the map first.
| Role | The one who asks (he shows the courage to ask other people) |
|---|---|
| Catchphrase | “Hmm… I just don't know.” → “Then let's ask!” |
| What he carries | A teal scarf with a gold bell / a leather shoulder satchel / a rolled-up map / a brass lantern |
Comlittle brother
All curiosity. Everything is “why?”
He gives up a little too quickly.
| Role | The one who looks things up (he turns the pages) |
|---|---|
| Catchphrase | “What's this?” |
| What he carries | A green scarf with a gold bell / a small leather satchel / a thick leather-bound book (always held against his chest) |
Two halves of one whole
