~Original Characters~

Name: Posey
Gender: Boy
Height: 7.3cm
Birthday: May 1
Star sign: Taurus
Owner: unknown
Posey is the prime example of the phrase "Ignorance is bliss". He's happy-go-lucky, innocent, and kind. He's not stupid, but he's naive to most anything bad. He doesn't understand male/female steriotypes, so he often acts very girlish (he enjoys wearing schoolgirl outfits and flowerpicking). And if you though Hamtaro was naive to love, Posey's ten times worse. He has alot of common sense when it comes to knowing what's right. He's very loud when he get's excited, and almost never acts calm. Posey's best friend is Chjerry.

Name: Kimber
Gender: Girl
Height: 6.8cm
Birthday: Jan 22
Star sign: Aquarious
Owner: unknown
Kimber is a strange hamster, she's very soft voiced, seclusive, and unemotional. She never is really sad or depressed, she just doesn't care. She is very apathetic to everything, and is very lazy. She never had any friends untill she met Posey and the rest of the bunch, and it almost seems as if she has a bit of a crush on Posey. No one is sure if her name is really Kimber or not, she could have been too lazy to finish saying "Kimberly".
