Midori is Lotus's little sister. Her tea shop is famous for its decadent Cherry Blossom tea. For the best brew, she collects the purest water from the mouth of the magical Everbloom Spring, which the Shiftpaw Fox, Inari, guards and maintains. These close friends often share a pot of tea and a chat during Midori’s visits.

Inari is a Shiftpaw Fox who guards the Everbloom Spring. This magical water source feeds the valley's lush beautiful trees, causing them to "everbloom". As a valley guardian, Inari likes to pop around the valley using her shapeshifting abilities, just to check on things. She is known to be a bit mischievous, using her powers to pull silly pranks on friends and townsfolk. Unlike most Shiftpaw Foxes, she finds the company of others to be both delightful and amusing.

One visit to Cherryvale, and Mao was hooked! He relocated here from his ocean port home to open a little shop called Lucky Paw Sushi, right next door to Midori's famous tea house. With his family connections to the port he is able to procure the freshest ocean fish for his creations. He’s a talented chef and artist, and his shop is a big hit with the locals. Mao has a gift for befriending nearly everyone he meets, and he meets a lot of people in the tourist town of Cherryvale!
