Layla the Fennec Fox
Personality: Peaceful, gentle, easygoing
Layla is a tiny desert fox with very big ears and a huge sense of adventure. She loves to explore the dunes at night when the sand is cool and the stars are bright. Layla teaches Timmy how animals stay cool and safe in the desert heat — and how magical the night sky can be in Egypt.
Timmy’s Memory: “BaoBao let me sit beside him while he ate bamboo. He handed me a piece, but I couldn’t bite it — he giggled so hard he rolled right onto his back!”
Bastet the Temple Cat
Personality Traits: Silly, Energetic, Mischievous
Bastet is graceful and curious, with shining eyes that notice everything. She pads softly through old stone temples and cozy city streets, showing Timmy carved hieroglyphs and secret corners. Bastet tells Timmy how cats were once honored in ancient Egypt — and reminds him to move slowly and look closely when he explores.
Timmy’s Memory: “Mimi taught me her secret monkey squeak. Mine squeaked so loudly she laughed until she slipped right off her branch!”
Karim the Camel
Personality Traits: Brave, Loyal, Strong
Karim is gentle, strong, and steady — the perfect friend for a long journey. He carries Timmy across golden sand dunes, bells jingling softly as they walk. Karim shows Timmy why camels are called the “ships of the desert” and how their humps help them travel so far without water.
Timmy’s Memory: “HǔHǔ taught me how to pounce into the snow — but when I disappeared under the fluff, he pulled me out with one giant paw!”
Nilo the Nile Crocodile
Personality Traits: Graceful, Kind, Gentle
Nilo looks a little bit scary, but he’s actually calm and very wise. He rests on the riverbank while fish splash nearby and birds swoop overhead. Nilo teaches Timmy about the animals that live in and around the Nile River — and how important it is to respect wild creatures and their homes.
Timmy’s Memory: “QīngQīng let me choose a pebble from her collection. I picked one shaped like a heart — she quacked happily and splashed my shoes!”
Horus the Golden Eagle
Personality Traits: Playful, Wise, Cheerful
Named after Egypt’s sky god, Horus soars high above cliffs and deserts. He has sharp eyes and a wise spirit. Horus teaches Timmy that seeing the world from a new perspective can help you understand it better.
Timmy’s Memory: “Longlong puffed a tiny cloud shaped like a dragon just for me! It floated for a whole minute before turning into a funny squiggle.”
Ibi the Ibis
Personality Traits: Cozy, Curious, Shy-but-sweet
Ibi is a clever white ibis with long legs and a long beak perfect for poking around the river’s edge. She loves to perch on old walls and watch boats drift down the Nile. Ibi helps Timmy spot hieroglyphs shaped like birds and teaches him that every symbol in Egypt tells part of a story.
Timmy’s Memory: “HongHong wrapped her tail around both of us while we watched fireflies glow. She said I was an ‘honorary red panda.’ I felt so warm!”
Farid the Desert Caracal
Farid is sleek, quick, and leaps higher than Timmy thought possible! With tall black-tipped ears and golden fur, Farid shows Timmy how caracals survive in hot, sandy environments — and how to stay alert, steady, and confident on any adventure.
