“I’m spoiled for choice, huh?”

Hazel is a nature-loving farmer. She’s much more comfortable in her natural fiber overalls and her trusty straw hat than the latest fashion trends. She’s apprehensive about her summons to the Woodland Forest Dating show, but she approaches it just like any challenge: keenly, with a pinch of sass! Plus, her best friend Ester is here, so it can’t be all bad. Who knows? She may make a friend or two. Perhaps even find love?

"We’re on a dating show, so of course I’m pursuing you romantically."

Ackerman’s a scientist in BioTechnology. Three words to describe him are observant, introverted, and inquisitive. Ester believes he’s “too good to be true” as a love interest for Hazel, who shares an interest in sustainable foods. His ambition is to grow his intellect and succeed in his field by finding life-changing, food-related solutions. As a scientist, he’s ruled by logic and reason, but that changes when he encounters Hazel.

Scientist, Anthropomorphized Inanimate Object

Ackerman

"Delighted t' make yer acquaintance."

Captain Coco is noted for his unusually carefree demeanor. He adheres to the pirate code, is proud of his work, and is boisterous with what he loves. If you could have a drink with anyone, it would be this guy. Coco has a penchant for theatrics, ranging from his heavy laughter to his ability to woo a woman with a simple caress. He’s a strong-willed man who knows what he wants and how to get it.

"I shamelessly used your stomach to get to your heart."

Don loves jazz, a good belly laugh, and bringing smiles to people’s faces. He’s fun, sweet, and puts the whole room at ease. The audience of the dating show absolutely adores Don and his cheesy (nutty) jokes. His comedy tours allow him to sample glorious food around the globe, and he happily offers to share his experiences. Don retreats when confronted by serious questions. Can Hazel uncover what lies under Don’s shield of humor?

"Are my abdominal muscles that pleasing?”

O the Owl, buff warden and host of the Woodland Forest Dating show. He maintains order and is impartial, but he has a soft spot for the main character, and subtly tries to help her when she needs it. Although O is mature, wise, and distinguished, he’s a bird of prey who’s not only in top shape, but retains his animal physique and instinctively deploys his wings and talons as needed. For all intents and purposes, O is a gracious host, not a contestant… but this game is nuts.

"You’ve no idea how happy that makes me!"

Peter the Peanut’s past drove him to become the life-saving paramedic he is today. Despite being shy, and hiding behind his bangs, his determination and dedication shines through. By pure observation, he can discover other’s weaknesses/strengths and rally allies to his side. He’s over the moon when he discovers that Hazel loves animals as much as him. Will Hazel give this shy sweetheart a chance?

"You’ve come to the right place, pet."

Red the squirrel is hungry, plain and simple. He accepted the job as handler producer on the Woodland Forest Dating Show as the perks of the job were too good to refuse. Having experienced famine and drought, he makes up for lost time by snacking at every possible opportunity.

Ester

On a day like any other, a shift occurred! Woodland forest inhabitants have become sentient, and the traditional circle of life has been thrown off balance. Woodland animals (like owls and squirrels) and even nuts (hazelnuts, chestnuts, etc.) can think, walk, and talk! The government created a network of biospheres to observe these new sentient, intelligent lifeforms and better understand this phenomenon.

The story follows Hazel (re-nameable), a humble hazelnut. She’s a farmer who enjoys all things nature, but especially loves bird watching, gardening, fishing, and organic local produce. As the main contestant on the Woodland Forest Dating Show, she can choose from 4 available, nutty suitors!

Isn't this all just… nuts?!
