Edgecliff Hollow, where shadows shift and everything feels urgent

👾🧚Personality

Always scanning the surroundings (even in calm places).

Runs through backup plans… and backup plans for the backup plans…

Is super kind and thoughtful, but constantly second-guesses EVERYTHING.

Tries really hard to get things right, even when no one is asking.

✨Appearance

A sharp triangle shape that vibrates with nervous energy.

Spiral spring arms that tangle and untangle as thoughts swirl.

Legs that bounce, tiptoe, or freeze depending on mood.

  ⚡Powers

Thought Storm:⚡ Creates a flurry of possibilities (both helpful and overwhelming).

Fidget Flick: 🌀 Sends out tiny bursts of energy when unable to stay still.

Overfocus Beam: 🔦 Zeros in on one detail with laser intensity (sometimes helpful, sometimes not).

Echo Whirl: 🔊 Loops the same “what if” over and over, swirling louder each time until it’s hard to think of anything else.

Jumpstart Jolt: ⚡ A sudden zap of nervous energy that makes Fraggle (or others nearby) leap into action too quickly, rushing in‘waaay’ before they are ready.

🃏 Slow-Go Step
🐢 Before starting, place your hand on your tummy and take one deep breath. Say: “Slow is strong.”

  🌈 Secret Soft Side

If someone gently says, “You don’t have to fix everything,” Fraggle will blink, pause, and finally take a deep breath.

They relax best when someone else says, “Let’s figure it out together.”
