  • Very diligent

  • Sometimes too self-critical

  • Wants to please everyone

 

Abilities:

  • Thanks to his cute bee-like wings on his back Zick-Zack is able to fly, and that pretty high and far. Additionally, he is very agile when flying and is able to change directions quickly. He struggles to fly in the rain though, since his wings must not get too wet

  • He is able to track down bees by using his antennae-like horns. He can even communicate with them and summon and gather entire swarms of bees. Many bees even see him as a kind of "bee king"

  • Thanks to his magical powers, he is able to conjure the sweetest honey, which he loves to share with his friends and bee friends. This magical ability, however, requires quite a lot of magical energy, and he can only conjure small quantities of honey at a time and a day

  • Using his magical powers, Zick-Zack can coat loose flowers with a special invisible magical film that preserves and keeps them fresh for longer. As a result, picked flowers last months longer than usual. How long a flower remains fresh under this magical effect depends on the type of flower and Zick-Zack's current energy level. At maximum, flowers treated with this film can stay vibrant and unwilted for up to three months

  • He is a very talented and passionate florist, salesman, and gardener. Together with his best friend Dandelion, he owns and runs a successful flower shop with a large flower garden right next to it. He takes great care of each flower in the shop and, with the help of his magical abilities, ensures they last as long as possible, bringing joy to their new owners. With an eye for aesthetics and a meticulous approach to his work, he knows exactly which flowers and decorations complement each other, creating the most beautiful and impressive bouquets, wreaths, garlands, and more. He always listens to the individual wishes of his customers and strives to satisfy them as much as possible

  • He can produce and emit light form his whole body. That way he can lighten up the night in many different colours

  • He has the ability of speech and he speaks and understands many different human languages of our world. Of course he is able to interact with his fellow species and other animals and creatures. He can even translate to a certain extent

  • He is able to see in the dark and, unlike other bears and bees, he can see almost all existing colours

 

Weaknesses:

  • Zick-Zack’s wings produce a continuous buzzing sound while flying, making it nearly impossible for him to hide during flight

  • He always strives to please everyone and fulfil every single wish of his customers, aiming to leave them completely satisfied. As a result, he often puts too much pressure on himself and quickly overextends. Especially when faced with extremely demanding and nearly impossible requests, he finds himself reaching his limits. Fortunately, his best friend and business partner Dandelion is always there for him in such situations. He helps Zick-Zack to politely say "no" to unreasonable demands or find alternative solutions, offering support and easing the pressure

  • Zick-Zack can sometimes be too hard on himself and overly self-critical, especially when someone offers negative feedback about his work or shop. In these moments, he tends to put even more pressure on himself, and his self-confidence takes a hit, which is not helpful for his well-being. During these times, his friends, especially his dearest, namely Dandelion and Melino, are always there for him. They comfort him and make an effort to rebuild his self-confidence, reminding him of his worth and talents

  • Bees are very important to Zick-Zack and he is good friends with a lot of them. Therefore, he constantly worries about his diligent little friends and wants everyone to be well, which, unfortunately, is not an easy task with so many bees and also not always successful. This is a fact, that often makes him sad and guilty. However, he is not alone in this. His best friend Melino feels the same way and they even share many of the same bee friends. Together, things are much easier than when facing them alone, so they take care of their bee friends as much as possible together

Further Information:

  • He was born in the Land of Eternal Dusk a mystical land which is full of magic and fairy-like creatures. As the name implies, the land is in a state of eternal dusk. It is a very beautiful and peaceful place

  • In every land you can find the following rule: Every strongly marked anthropomorphic creature is actually a human being from either a different dimension and/or time, that's why these creatures are more human-like than other beings

  • He is anthropomorphic and thus very human-like, but can still do typical “bear- and bee-like” things like digging, climbing, buzzing etc.

  • He and every here presented Land of Eternal Dusk resident are good friends. As already described above, he and Dandelion are best friends and even business mates. They own and run their own successful flower shop and garden and are a fantastic team. Furthermore, he has a second best friend, namely Melino. They both have bees as friends, love flowers and generally feel strongly connected

  • Zick-Zack is a cis-male and bisexual

  • He has an entirely vegetarian diet, even though he is half a bear. His favourite foods are honey, fruits and sweet treats, with honey being is absolute favourite

  • He seems to have something resembling a stinger, but it is actually just the tip of his tail, which is soft and fluffy. Additionally, while his paws and their claws may appear large and rough, Zick-Zack is actually able to handle and work with them in an extremely careful and precise manner. He is generally a very gentle and loving creature
