Sunday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eldest daughter of the healers of the right bank’s village, she quickly demonstrated impressive gifts for her age and an unequaled boldness, but after her parent’s death, her bright temperament will be replaced by a worrying determination.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Mojo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mojo is the doll Sunday made with her parent’s shroud and hairs, as well as a few more relics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Separated from Sunday, he is trying to find her and doing so, is probably stirring the Bayou’s forgotten secrets too much.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Hanged Angie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The graveyard’s guardian has been made two hundred years before by Charles, the first gravedigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Made with the shroud of a dead woman, the rope of an hanged man and one of Charles’ own finger, flesh given while still alive, angie has an unmatched longevity among dolls, who usually disappear at their master’s death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She educated Pif when he came upon the Bayou, and while they bicker a lot, they are friends.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Pif<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pif, real name Padrig (and Pif is a french childish word for nose), is a former soldier, seriously injured during it’s last battle, where he lost his nose and best friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a long wandering, he happened in the Bayou’s graveyard, just in time to intervene in a fight between the werewolves pack and the graveyard’s guardian, Hanged Angie and Jim, the current gravedigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jim will succumb to his injuries soon after, but we entrusted him with the cemetery, Angie, and a few tips on how to club a werewolf with a shovel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Ulf’s great dismay.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Naima<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the village’s seer, she is the granddaughter of Andr\u00e9 the metalworker and Cherry the animals healer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She lost her parents very young, when she was a baby, and then her elder sister, Sadiah, who got kidnapped by the Witcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naima has a ability to see the future, but she can’t memorize it and if noone hear her prediction, it’s lost, even to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She still seem to know a lot about the Bayou’s secret…<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Jeremiah<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jeremiah is Sunday’s father and one of the village’s healer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was born in the Pit, the Witcher’s village and ran away with viviane before Sunday’s birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the Witcher doesn’t like any of his slaves escaping and wait longs years before finding them back and punishing them.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Viviane<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

She is Sunday’s mother and the second healer of the village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She followed Jeremiah during his escape from the Pit, so she could give birth to Sunday in a safe place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the beginning of the comics, she just had her second child, a son.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Sad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As silent and discreet than a ghost, Sad has been hauting the Bayou for a bit more than a decade now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While she look fragile, and has already been damaged, as indicated by the crude stitches across her face, Sad always manage to find herself in the right place at the right moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or maybe at the wrong place at the wrong moment, as Eshu say.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Eshu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is the wood puppet who hang around The Dead Tree, helping Lady Mandy and caring for the lost dolls.
Grumpy, rude and with a cowardly disposition, Eshu avoid the Witcher and his undeads, but he weak spot is Sad, his little whisper of ghost, whom he can’t refuse anything.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Lady Mandy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

She is a lesser loa, daughter of Gran Bwa, the loa of plants and nature, whose body has been desiccated by the Witcher’s magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While very disminished and now unable to walk on her own on long distances, Lady Mandy refused to ran away and is still trying to counteract the Witcher’s influence, one flower at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She live in a dead tree, with her retinue of abandoned voodoo dolls she adopted overtime.<\/p>\n<\/div>
