Halloween - Global Candy Cup 2015

Meet Blue

Despite her humble, occasionally blurry beginnings, Blue is as cheerful as her glasses are big, and even managed to find some joy in her nearsightedness with the help of a sympathetic medieval craftsman. Even if she ends up losing her spectacles, crashing headlong into an unlucky crow and ending her race in a crumpled heap, she’ll probably still have had a blast.

Ideal night out 
Well-planned theme party

Meet Red

We’re told that Red is secretly tenderhearted, but didn’t hazard asking for fear of being turned into toads. Possessed of formidable physical and magical abilities, Red’s third appearance in the Candy Cup is no game--it’s business, and anything shy of giving her opponents a thorough shellacking simply won’t do. Opportunistic and wickedly fast, when Red isn’t racing falcons or tuning her broomstick she can be found doing such things as pummeling her younger brother.

Meet Yellow

Yellow’s love of cats, we’re told, is matched only by her love of cats. As a young witch, she passed her days on the winding trails of an enchanted forest, and feels most at home among her feral friends, who often find themselves narrowly avoiding rib injuries in her particularly loving embrace. Quick, cunning, and delightedly aloof, Yellow might be advised to clutch the broomstick as tightly she clutches her feline counterparts.

Seriously?

Favorite place
Wherever there are presently more cats than people

Dream job
Cat lady

If she wins...

Meet Green

In the company of five siblings, space under a thatched-roof hut can get a little cramped. The pages of Chaucer, Radcliffe and Shakespeare’s Macbeth are a fine place for a young witch to escape such chaos. Unenthusiastic about physical activity, Green prefers to hone her craft in the bowels of a library rather than in the air, but she’s not to be written off--her appetite for any and all literature related to flying makes her magnificently crafty.

Q&A

Sprit animal
Cephalopod

Favorite smell
Crisp pages

Favorite place
A windowsill late at night, lighted by an oil lamp

If she wins...
"I'll start a collection of ancient manuscripts."
