Meet Axel
A born performer who lives for an audience. He's dramatic, cheeky and full of energy, and turns every moment into a scene. Underneath the showing off he has a genuinely good heart: when Pip is in real danger he's frightened but brave, and he puts himself in the heron's path without a second thought. When he gets it wrong he can say sorry properly, gills drooping for real.
