Axel and Friends
Axel
- Young axolotl
- Hero; star of his own show, AxoTube
About me
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.
Axel always says…
“Hola, AxoTube!”
“It's me, Axel, the axolotl who acts a lot!”
“Cut! Did you get that?”
“Gotcha!”
“Stay frilly, amigos!”
Funny habits
- Peeks at his shell-phone to check it's still filming, even in the middle of a fake scream
- Frames people with his fingers like a film director
- Flicks his gills up when he's pleased with himself and droops them when he's sad (or pretending to be)
- Likes props and costumes: pondweed wigs, a reed with a yellow leaf for a fake beak, a pirate hat
- Can regrow lost body parts, as axolotls can: his tail tip grew back after the heron
