Introducing Jazz

Like most of the gang, Jazz has a lazy streak, but if you find Jazz lazing about, say upside down on the couch when he’s really not supposed to be in the house at all, he will tell you he was practising his special skill and just happened to doze off.

It’s hard to argue with that because Jazz’s special skill is to do with upside-down-ness … and running water. It’s a useful skill particularly to the unicorn (but of course that’s part of the secret that we’re not allowed to talk about yet) so Jazz is usually allowed to lounge about as long as he’s upside down.

Introducing Rainbow

Although you might look at the picture and think you can see Rainbow clear as day, I’m afraid it’s not that simple.

If you study the picture closely, you might catch a glimpse, but don't be fooled by the obvious. That isn't a picture of Rainbow, it's a picture of a multicoloured pony with a stick of rock on its nose. Oh and Rainbow's in there too. 

Rainbow is a master of disguise - unlike the creature who is taking up most of the picture. You certainly couldn't miss a huge multicoloured pony wearing a stick of rock, but you could easily miss Rainbow.

Rainbow's skill at disguise is very important in the life of the unicorn, because … oops, we're not supposed to let out any secrets yet … we'll just say that Rainbow has a key role to play.

Introducing Polo

Polo might be small but he’s speedy and he turns tight corners like you wouldn’t believe. Polo’s agility is very useful when it comes to keeping things secret, and he certainly has a big secret.

He’s another of the gang that knows everything there is to know about the secret of the unicorn. If you happened to be a pony watching through a window when Polo went by, all you would see would be a blur.

Polo’s problem is that he fidgets, especially if he scents mints in the air. There are times when Snowy has had to get extremely firm with Polo.

Introducing Ossie

Ossie has one characteristic in common with Smirf, he is greedy. In fact he will go to such lengths to grab a bite to eat that he has become quite an acrobat. 

There is no obstacle that Ossie won’t tackle if he thinks that food lurks beyond it.

Ossie is another one with a special link to the unicorn but because the real secret of the unicorn has yet to be revealed, there will be no spoilers in the blog.
