Bolin is a broad-shouldered giant panda with the kind of quiet warmth that puts everyone at ease. He runs a small tea house in the old quarter of the city, blending traditional recipes with his own inventions. Despite his imposing frame, he is famously soft-spoken and has never raised his voice. Regulars say his hugs could cure anything.

Meiling commands attention without trying โ a giant panda with curves that match her bold personality. She manages a popular nightlife lounge downtown, known for curating the perfect atmosphere and the perfect cocktail. Beneath her glamorous exterior she is fiercely loyal and surprisingly sentimental, keeping every birthday card she has ever received. Cross her and she will remember it forever; earn her trust and she will move mountains.

Damu is a full-grown male giant panda who has claimed a lush bamboo grove on a mist-covered mountainside as his personal kingdom. He spends most of his day eating bamboo in comically large quantities and napping in increasingly creative positions. Despite his lazy reputation, he is surprisingly curious and will investigate anything new in his territory with cautious sniffs. He tolerates company only from those patient enough to sit still and let him come to them.

Lianhua is smaller and more delicate than most giant pandas, with a face that seems perpetually gentle. She lives near a stream-fed meadow at the edge of a bamboo forest, spending her mornings eating and her afternoons wading through shallow water or rolling in wildflower patches. She is unusually social for a panda and approaches familiar visitors with soft chirping sounds. The local researchers adore her because she once fell asleep holding a researcher's boot.
