His mysterious eyes are impressive, nobody can guess what he is thinking. One winter night when the Eurocka Festival began in Wachifield, Dayan came to the town of Tachiel in Wachifield by the snow magic of Eurocka. Dayan began to live alone in a cabin in the woods on the outskirts of the town, and made many cheerful friends like Marcy the hare, Iwan the alligator and Jitan the cat. Dayan, who didn’t even know that he has a birthday, got used to the life in Tachiel before he realized and began to understand that mice were not prey but friends. He turns into a baby on his birthday every year because of Witches’ tricks…
Born on March 14, a female hare.
Living in the town of Tachiel and Dayan’s best friend. She is the eldest of six siblings and takes good care of her brothers and sisters. Smart and sweet Marcy is enjoying life surrounded by her dear family and friends. Marcy’s mother, Maim runs a dressmaking shop and a laundry in the town of Tachiel. Her father, Otto is an adventurer and seldom comes home, but he especially loves Marcy.
Jitan is a wise and reliable friend that Dayan admires as a fellow cat. He is knowledgeable and has a reputation for good judgement. No one knows where he comes from. Jitan is a cat as fascinating as he is mysterious and living as freely as the wind. He is a guest of Marjory Noel, a traveling circus troupe. He often accompanies the circus troupe when they go on regional tours. His best tricks are playing the violin and unicycling.
Born on April 1, a male alligator. He lives alone in a cave in the forest, further into the mountains than Dayan's cabin. He is a hard drinking alligator but is tender-hearted. He is reliable in case of emergency and is a precious friend of Dayan and Marcy. When he was a baby, came down from a zoo on Earth to Wachifield. Now he has become a lumberman and is giving a helping hand to the forest. He can chat with plants.
