## Snapshot

A cottontail rabbit marked by a torn ear from his first brush with danger, learning his mother's hard lessons about a world full of thieves.

## Who they are

Raggylug grows up hidden in Olifant's Swamp under his mother's patient instruction, where every sound, scent, and whisker-touch carries meaning. His torn ear is a permanent reminder of how narrowly curiosity can miss disaster. His education in survival — what to fear, when to freeze, how to read the grass — anchors the story's early arc, making his small world feel as perilous and strategic as any wilderness epic.
