Character design

AMLAN

Amlan is a six-year-old, slim and medium-sized girl with black skin who lives with her parents in a modest home. Although she is pampered by her mother, she feels the frequent absence of her father. This situation has developed in her an early maturity and independence. Amlan is a child awake, always curious about the world around her. Her passion and courage inspire her to explore, ask questions, and face challenges with a determination that is rare for her age.

MAMAN BINTOU

Maman Bintou, 37, is a medium-sized, corpulent woman who runs a small restaurant in front of her yard. Most of his clients are manoeuvres from the yard of Sita’s father. Known for her kind nature, Maman Bintou gives everything she has to satisfy each of her clients, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere in her establishment.

SITA LA BOURGEOISE

Sita, 7 and a half years old (and she insists on the "demi"), is a big girl for her age. She is the daughter of a great businessman who owns a building site near the courtyard of Amlan. Initially, Sita is positioned as the rival of Amlan, seeking to imitate him in everything, often using her family’s wealth to get what she wants. She has a grumpy character and is often dissatisfied, but behind this facade hides a good heart.

YAPI L'INTELLO

YAPI The 7-year-old INTELLO is a small boy and somewhat round for his age. Nephew of Soro the blacksmith, he is distinguished by his curiosity and ability to find answers to everything, not hesitating to do advanced research. He often helps Amlan with his tablet. Although a little lazy, he is always available when needed, helpful and slightly fearful.
