Meet the Characters

A golden potato chip navigating life with curiosity, courage, and heart. Zip doesn't always have the answers — but he never stops looking for them. He's the kind of friend who shows up, even when it's hard.

Zip's most loyal friend. Rory is honest to a fault — sometimes blunt, always trustworthy. If Rory says something, you can take it to the bank. He's the friend who tells you the truth even when it's not what you want to hear.

The heart of the group. Tilly feels everything deeply — she's the first to notice when someone is hurting and the first to do something about it. She helps everyone process their emotions, often before they even know they have them.

The thinker. Benji loves learning more than almost anything — he reads everything, remembers everything, and occasionally explains things in more detail than anyone asked for. But when you need to know something, Benji is your guy.

Pure energy. Kat is always up for an adventure — sometimes before anyone else has agreed to go. She's optimistic to the core, and her enthusiasm is contagious. When Kat says it'll be fine, somehow, it usually is.

Small. Lovable. Chaotic. Wally is Zip's beloved pet worm, and he has a gift for appearing at exactly the wrong — or right — moment. He doesn't say much, but somehow always manages to make everything better.

Warm, wise, and steady. Ida models nurturing strength and grace — the kind of parent who knows when to step in and when to let her kids figure it out. Her kitchen is the safest place in Chip Valley.

Steady as a stone. Rus models integrity, protection, and gentle leadership. He doesn't say a lot — but when he does, everyone listens. He's the kind of dad who shows up, works hard, and loves his family well.
