Digger is a constantly moving, warm and motivated working dog. Digger being the Face of A2 projects a strong, reassuring leadership figure. Digger is unshakably reliable and gives clear directions, he strives to deliver the best possible convention he can with integrity and without cutting corners.
Digger can feel overly concerned with how others view his work, always striving to work harder. Digger may project stress or worry onto himself when meeting deadlines or faced with unexpected issues.
Digger feels inseparable from Opal and Dinkum. When delivering a hard day's work for his A2 audience, Digger catches himself leaning on Dinkum and Opal for comfort and reassurance.
Digger is a working dog. When he's not working, he's thinking about working. Though it is difficult for Digger to socially branch out because of this, his humor and character shines on through. Digger's favourite pastime is sharing small work achievements over dinner with Opal and Dinkum.
Digger's everyday fit has a simple and smart approach. Digger enjoys wearing polo or button up shirts. Digger matches this fit with a belt and some form of smart pants or trousers.
Digger is always looking for excuses to dress more formally, however he saves these for the most celebratory of occasions.
Opal is a chaotic-good soul, relentlessly optimistic and radiates joy toward all potential friends. Opal has a gift of making others feel included while finding creativity in their own time. Opal often carries her emotions on her sleeve and their impulsively kind energy can build trust in the face of hard situations.
Opal has little awareness of their self and surroundings, sometimes missing social cues, putting themselves in unwanted danger or forgetting tasks, all while genuinely believing everything will work out fine. Opal receives genuine warmth from both Digger and Dinkum. Though Opal can feel crushed when feeling like she's let her team down, Dinkum and Digger have always shown support.
With Opal being a Rock Wallaby, she naturally gravitates towards Geology. Opal is able to name you every Australian rock and mineral, where to find them and how they’ve scientifically come to be. Opal carries all her favorite trinkets in the opal adorned bag attached to her tail. Be mindful when asking Opal about her rock collection as you may be caught for a while.
Opal is an explorer at heart. She loves to scale rocky terrain when discovering new places. She is incredibly fit and holds several world championships in speed climbing.
Opal often wears either fitness or comfort clothes in her spare time. She prefers clothing that is breathable while not constraining her movements. You’d rarely catch Opal wearing jeans or dresses for this particular reason.
Dinkum has a calm and nonreactive presence. Their approach is laid back, relaxed and content being present. Dinkum can seem emotionless at times but rather processes feelings internally when experiencing their highs and lows. Impactful moments are often met with the same quiet expression and verbal one liners. Dinkum is valued for their authenticity rather than their energy.
Dinkum can be perceived as non verbal or perhaps insensitive when caught in situations where emotions are high. Dinkum strives for quiet satisfaction, sharing peaceful moments with the animals they care most about.
Dinkum values Opal and Digger for being some of the few animals in their life that truly understand their quiet nature. Though Dinkum is self conscious with the thoughts that they don't offer enough in their friendships, this is often disproved by Opal and Digger, who love and appreciate Dinkum exactly how they are.
Dinkum seeks creative ways to immerse themselves into fictional realities. Dinkum enjoys reading books, playing video games and building Lego. Dinkum also seeks solitude in their outdoor activities, pastimes like star gazing, sun baking or sailing.
Dinkum favours a casual street vibe , with their daily wear consisting of hoodies and cargo pants. That being said, Dinkum would be happy to wear just about anything to support the occasion and their friends.
