Persimmon Copse — Red Panda Orchard Wardens Character Sheet

The story of Persimmon Copse

A fictional story inspired by the artwork.

Persimmon Copse is a hill orchard with narrow paths between the trees. Its wardens leave lanterns beside the steps where fallen fruit can make the ground slippery. Visitors arrive for the first market in the cool hours, so the path keeper goes out before dawn. The warm glow around their feathered wings shows which bend to follow without lighting up every branch.

The basket carrier makes two trips along the lower rows, sorting the fruit by how far it has to travel. The pruner brings a wooden ladder and keeps the shears closed until both boots are planted. At the edge of the grove, another warden carries the folded awning on a shoulder pole. They set up early enough to keep the fruit in shade.

The keeper with the covered jar makes the last walk downhill. The jar is heavy enough to need two hands, and the cover keeps loose leaves from falling inside. A warden carrying a curved orchard blade follows at a distance with a basket. They stop at each tree that needs work after harvest and tie a bright thread to a nearby post.

The lineup uses striped tails, red and jade cloth, persimmon embroidery, and small gold fasteners. Two figures have glowing feathered wings, while the others rely on hats, shoulder pieces, and tools for their silhouettes. The props tie each character to a practical part of keeping an orchard, from looking after trees to setting up a market stall.
