the famous astronomer. He wears a natural-looking brown tunic and pants. He has the ability to see in the dark. He appears in the show very often. Despite being relatively mature in terms of his personality, he shares the role of protagonist with Maggie and, occasionally, with Crystal. Each character has been the focus of a number of episodes, so the show has more of an ensemble cast. Maggie Maggie (performed by Jani Lauzon in season 1, Wende Welch in seasons 2 and 3, and Trish Leeper in season 4) is the young tomboyish Groundling and one of the most commonly used characters.
