Physical trait:  giant nose
     Personality:  a gentle, bumbling dreamer with a love for the little things in life
      Instrument:  trombone

Snorty’s giant nose reflects his love for the little things in life – his heightened sense of smell means he always stops to smell the roses. Where Stompy is excited by possibility, Snorty is intrigued by the way things are; an avid daydreamer, he can stare for hours at the patterns in a leaf, or the shapes made by clouds in the sky.  This is frustrating for Stompy, since she focuses on the big picture while her friend is fascinated by detail.

Snorty’s oversized nose makes him top-heavy and unstable – its awkward shape reflects his impractical, bumbling nature. He’s eager to please, but often finds his nose gets in the way, and his clumsiness can trigger Stompy’s frustrated ground-shaking stomps. Snorty compulsively combs the single strand of hair that grows on his head, and it springs back into a curl when he has a bright idea.

Despite its impractical shape, Snorty’s nose serves one very practical purpose: as the engine room for the friends’ interplanetary adventures. Snorty hoists Stompy into a piggyback and she tickles his nose with a flower… ACHOOOOO! They blast off using Snorty’s rocket-powered sneeze.
