Trunk family
FATHER HUGO TRUNK is a lumberjack. He has the important job of keeping Sylvanian clean and tidy and every morning he clears fallen trees from the forest with his strong trunk. One day soon Hugo hopes to build a beautiful log cabin for all his family to live in, but his wife Savannah can't help but think that this is just wishful thinking on his part! The problem is poor Hugo gets so tired lifting all those heavy trees that each afternoon he has to have a long mud bath and an even longer lie down. “Just you wait and see,” Hugo always says to his wife. “Hugo Trunk never makes a promise that he cannot keep!” In fact Hugo is so confident of his log cabin that he is already thinking of a name for it – problem is he just can't decide between Trunk Gables or Tusk End!
MOTHER SAVANNAH TRUNK (born ELLWOODS) prefers to use her brain rather than her brawn! She has a wonderful memory and, much to the annoyance of her family, never forgets a thing. Of course, this is very good news when it comes to birthdays, anniversaries and things like that. But it can be very bad news when someone has done anything wrong. If a cake has been burnt, a book has been lost or a favourite ornament has been broken, Savannah always remembers the why, the when and the where. But thankfully she is also a very forgiving mother. “Just as long as you learn from your mistakes,” she always tells her children. She just wishes poor Ivor was a little less accident-prone sometimes!
BROTHER IVOR TRUNK desperately wants to be a hockey player when he grows up. He has great stick control and has scored almost twice as many goals as anyone else on the school team. But at the moment he has a bit of a dilemma – his 'trunk skills' have improved so much that he also shows great promise in goal. “When I grow up do you think I should play attack or defence?” he asks his father at the end of every game. Hugo simply tells Ivor to be patient and practice as hard as he can. He is very proud of his athletic son, but he can't help but think that he should still train to be a lumberjack, just in case!
SISTER NELLIE TRUNK hates hockey but loves ballet. Every Saturday morning she goes to ballet class and learns all about pirouettes, plies and grand jetes. Her dance skills are improving every week thanks to all her hard work at the barre. When she grows up Nellie wants to join the Sylvanian National Ballet and perform in front of all her family and friends. The 'Sugar Plum Fairy' is her favourite role and she practices the difficult steps every chance she gets. She wears a beautiful pink tutu and satin ballet slippers, but only when her sports mad brother is not around!
BABY SISTER EMILY TRUNK is the newest addition to the family and according to mother Savannah, a dreamchild.
TWINS BABIES PEANUT and NANA TRUNK don't know what they want to be when they grow up! They are too small at the moment to be interested in either hockey or ballet. They don't even go to the forest with their father any more as they tend to get in the way! As long as they've got a paddling pool and some buns they are quite happy.
