Cheolsu's friends

GABI

Typically found in folklore around the world, goblins are often described as small, mischievous beings with magical abilities. In Cheolsu's story, the goblin is named Gabi, a revered figure who has been with Cheolsu's family for generations. Gabi is friendly and wise, offering guidance and support to Cheolsu. Rather than causing trouble, this goblin brings adventure and friendship into Cheolsu's life.

MIRO

Mummies are usually associated with the ancient Egyptian practice of preserving the dead for the afterlife. In many stories, they are depicted as wrapped in bandages and often connected to curses or ancient magic. Miro, the mummy in this tale, is a storyteller who loves sharing ancient secrets and legends, inviting others on mysterious journeys through time.

JULIE

Zombies originate from Haitian folklore and are often depicted as reanimated corpses with a hunger for human flesh. However, in this story, the zombie, Julie, is a peace-loving protector of the forest who hates violence. This reimagining of a zombie as a kind and nature-loving character adds a twist to the traditional portrayal.

KEVIN

Vampires are legendary creatures known for feeding on the blood of the living and are often portrayed as nocturnal beings. Kevin, the vampire in the story, breaks the mold by not drinking blood and being able to walk around during the day. He's interested in music and looking to share his passion with others.

Each of these characters, with their unique attributes and personalities, plays a role in teaching Cheolsu about the wonders of friendship and the joys of embracing differences. They show that there's more to each of us than meets the eye, and that by giving a little attention and showing a little courage, one can make the most unexpected and wonderful friends.
