Appearance: A tall, slender flower Toon whose iconic bright yellow petals are torn, wilted, and stained dark at the tips. His cheerful hand-drawn smile is painted on a bit too widely, cracked around the edges, with erratic, wide pupils that unnerve anyone who looks at him directly. Lore: Dandy was the heart of Gardenview, but the collapse drove him into a disturbing, delusional state of authority. Refusing to accept that the facility has failed, he enforces a twisted version of order, treating food Toons as expendable resources to "keep the show running." He alternates between creepy optimism and volatile anger, entirely unable—or unwilling—to see how monstrous he has become.

Appearance: A strawberry-themed Toon whose once-vivid pink and red velvet texture is faded and constantly stained with grease or ink. He wears a tattered baker’s apron tied tightly around his waist, using it like armor to hide his soft center. His big, watery eyes are wide with hypervigilance, and he twitches at every sudden noise. Lore: As a food-based Toon, Sprout lives in a perpetual state of terror. The tragic shift in Gardenview turned him from a sweet, timid baker into a desperate survivor hiding in the shadows. He relies entirely on Vee for protection, clinging to her side because she hasn't lost her mind or tried to turn him into a meal. His depression manifests as profound helplessness and grief for the peaceful days spent baking without fear.

Appearance: An ammonite/fossil-themed Toon whose spiral shell is cracked and bound together with makeshift tape and wire. Her colorful pastel accents are covered in dust, and her bright, inquisitive gaze has dimmed into a hollow, anxious stare. Lore: Shelly used to love uncovering history and keeping memories alive, but now those memories torment her. She remembers everything about how perfect Gardenview used to be, making the current nightmare twice as painful. She hoards old trinkets and scrapbooks, frantically trying to preserve the past while dreading that she and her friends will soon be entirely wiped out.

Appearance: A moon-and-star-themed Toon with a dull, dust-covered navy blue body. His glowing yellow crescent moon head is dim, flickering like a dying lightbulb whenever his energy dips. He wears faded star-patterned nightwear, dragging his feet as if he hasn't rested in weeks. Lore: Once the gentle night-light of the group who helped everyone rest, Astro is now paralyzed by severe insomnia and apathy. He sees the horrific reality around him, but his depression leaves him too numb to act or flee. He often sits in ruined rooms staring into space, mourning the old days when his only job was to give everyone sweet dreams instead of watching their waking nightmares.

Looks: A small jack-o'-lantern toon with dark sclera, piercing white eyes, sharp clawed paws, and a jagged fanged grin. His stem leaf is withered, and his orange pumpkin skin is scarred with deep scratches. Vibe: Wild, unpredictable, and fiercely territorial. Lore As a pumpkin-based food toon, Gourdy refused to become prey. Instead of hiding, his instinct went feral. He uses his sharp claws and fast mobility to fight back ruthlessly against any toon that tries to harm him or other food toons. Though he fights on the side of the victims, his extreme aggression and sugar-addled frantic state make him just as terrifying to be around as the crazed hunters.

Looks: A woven Easter basket toon wearing a torn periwinkle and pink tulip-shaped dress. The flowers blooming inside her basket head are drooping, wilted, and missing petals. She clutches a stained blanket or basket handle tightly. Vibe: Quietly weeping, timid, and flinching at sudden movements. Lore Bassie used to carry joy and gifts, but now her extra basket capacity is used for hoarding emergency supplies and hiding small food toons from danger. She suffers from intense panic attacks over her inability to protect everyone. Because she is fast, she spends her time running through dangerous corridors dropping aid for fleeing victims, constantly living in fear that she won't be fast enough next time.

Looks: A chocolate Swiss roll cake toon with white cream swirl details along the top of his head. He has dark skin, colorful star stickers beneath his left eye, and a single wide, traumatized eye. His left eye and a large portion of his head are tightly wrapped in thick white medical bandages that extend down his right arm. He wears a worn, grey sleeveless top. Vibe: Physically broken, deeply traumatized, and weak—yet clinging to his sanity out of sheer necessity.
