SPRIG
The Duckling
Sprig is the newest member of the Duckiverse: a tiny, wide-eyed duckling with fluffy feathers, oversized feet, and endless questions. He looks up to Stux, gets confused by Bossy, and is terrified of Chirr—though deeply curious.
Sprig doesn’t understand the Pattern yet…
But he feels it.
He’s the perfect character to witness and learn—someone for viewers to relate to as they explore the deeper truths of the Duckiverse. Expect him to accidentally set off major chain reactions with innocent questions like:
“But why would someone trade water for gold?”
“Why’s that parrot stealing stuff if it helps people?”
“How do you know what’s real?”
Sprig is the soul’s first whisper of awakening.
Soft. Curious. Brave enough to ask.
Catchphrases:
-
“I brought this… just in case.”
-
“It’s not much, but I like it.”
-
“Wanna see my rock?”
-
“Hope fits in small pockets.”
-
“I think we’re lost. Wanna explore?”
SPRIG
Class: The Hopeful Sprout
Origin Story (Bio):
Sprig hatched beneath the Willow of Whimsy, a tree said to grow only where the Pattern hums strongest. He was the runt of his clutch—small, soft-voiced, and never quite in step with the others. While the rest of the ducklings followed straight lines and strict rules, Sprig wandered. He was curious. Quiet. Gentle.
One day, while exploring the edge of the Forgotten Marsh, Sprig stumbled upon an old, cracked acorn that shimmered faintly in his palm. The Pattern stirred.
Bossy found him that night—half-soaked, covered in mud, whispering to frogs.
He raised Sprig like his own. Gave him a home. Taught him about the Field.
Sprig doesn’t speak much. But when he does, it matters.
He is the youngest of the Resonant Ones. But some say he’ll be the one who outlives them all.

Signature Moves:
Whimsy Waddle – Sprig spins in a wild, unpredictable zig-zag that confuses enemies and accidentally solves problems (sometimes disarming a villain, other times uncovering a hidden truth). Always ends with him falling over and laughing.
🧢 Bonus Power
Echo Acorn – A small acorn he carries that glows when someone nearby needs help. He doesn’t know where it came from… but it always knows where he should go next.

✨ Bonus Fact

Sprig once wandered out into the Mist Loop and came back humming a melody no one could name—but Bossy wept when he heard it. Stux says it’s from before the Beginning. Sprig just calls it “The Pond Song.”
