Chico is a white-faced capuchin monkey who grew up on the streets of a sprawling coastal city, learning to survive through speed, charm, and an uncanny talent for acquiring things that technically belong to other people. Standing barely four feet tall, he compensates for his size with boundless energy, razor-sharp street smarts, and a motor mouth that can talk his way into or out of almost anything. Despite his sketchy profession, he has a strict personal code — he never steals from those who cannot afford it and always shares what he takes with those who need it most.

Marisol is a red howler monkey who makes her living as a street musician and singer in a vibrant port city. Her species' naturally powerful vocal cords give her a singing voice that can fill an entire plaza without amplification, ranging from a whisper that raises goosebumps to a full-throated belt that rattles windows. She is loud, loving, and unashamedly herself — a woman who dances in the rain, argues passionately about music, and has never met a stranger. Beneath her exuberant exterior is a deeply emotional soul who pours every heartbreak and joy into her songs.
