Another one?! I am on some kind of crazy roll.

This is Jude. Despite his angry looking face, he is actually the best party planner the town has ever had. Yes, they always go off without a hitch! Except for one small detail…he never gets to attend any of them himself.

You can’t say he doesn’t try! In fact he always leaves early - yet somehow still arrives late. Due to a terrible sense of direction, he tries to rely on maps to get around everywhere. But unfortunately, he’s also terribly dyslexic. This only adds to his struggle and so he ends up inevitably getting lost every time. He’s too embarrassed about this to ask for help, so everyone else ends up assuming he never intended to go in the first place. 

So he’s not really an angry guy. On the contrary - he loves celebrations! He’s just frustrated that he keeps hearing how awesome the parties and town festivals he organizes are, but he’s never been able to find out himself. (An older family member used to always help him get where he needed to go, but since being on his own, he has continually been less than successful.)

You might think this story is about the girls helping him out with this dilemma, but actually they go on an entirely different venture that is the result of him trying to do something about his frustrations…by blaming the local map maker, naturally.

Again, I may or may not actually write the ridiculous (and obviously comedic) story that goes with these characters.
