Meet The Builder:
The builder helps you make pictures in your mind. They can imagine how shapes, spaces and pieces fit together, or how they would look if you moved them. The builder helps you with puzzles, building things, drawing, and finding your way to places. They also help you make sense of numbers and sizes. For example, working out how big something is, or how much of it there is.

About The Detective:
The Detective is your brain’s problem-solver. They look for clues, sport patterns and work things out – even when no one has told them the rules! The Detective helps you figure out what might happen next, or why something happened. They can find ways to fix a problem, even when there’s no clear answer. They’re great at noticing when a new problem is a bit like something you’ve seen or done before, and using that to help you solve this problem. The Detective helps you “think outside the box” - finding clever answers that other people might not see.
About the Guide:The guide helps you get organised, figure out what needs to be done, and take the first step. They help you think ahead, work out the best order to do things, and keep track of where you’re up to. They are also great at noticing when a plan isn’t working – and coming up with a new one. That means being flexible, changing what you’re doing, or trying a different way when things don’t go to plan. The guide doesn’t do the thinking for you – they just help you use your thinking in a clear and organised way. They are the brain’s to-do list, timekeeper and coach all rolled into one
About The Helper:The helper holds thoughts and ideas in your head. They're like a clipboard that keeps all your notes safe while you are using them. They remember details so you don’t forget what you are doing. They help you follow steps, like when you’re baking a cake or building Lego. They keep numbers in your head so you can do maths without writing it down. They let you picture things in your mind, like a story or a football game. They also hold the question in your head while you think of the answer. Your helper doesn’t solve problems themselves – they just keep the important stuff ready so the other characters have what they need.
About the Librarian:The Librarian helps you remember things you’ve seen, heard, or learned before. When something important happens, they store it safely so you can find it later. They keep all kinds of memories: facts, ideas, picture in your heads, and moments from your life. When you need to remember something, the Librarian go to look for it. They flip through their “memory files” try to find the right one. Sometimes the file is missing some bits. Sometimes the file is there, but it’s hard to find. But your Librarian is always working hard to help you remember the things that matter most.
About The Referee:The Referee helps you stop, start and control what you say and do. They watch what is going on inyour brain and lets the right actions through – and blows the whistle when you need to pause. They help you wait your turn, stops you from interrupting. They remind you to think before you act. When your Referee is doing a good job, you’re the boss of your actions – not just doing the first thing that pops into your head. He’s not there to spoil your fun. He’s there to help you play fair, stay safe, and make choices you’ll feel proud of.
About The Runner:The runner is super speedy, and helps your brain work fast. Imagine someone zooming about with messages, helping all the other bits of your brain talk to each other.

About the Spy:The Spy is the boss of your attention. They decide what is important to notice, and what you can ignore. They keep an eye on what you can see, hear, feel and think, and help you stay on track. If something needs your attention, they help you switch to it. When the Spy is doing a good job, all other parts of your brain can work better. That is because they are getting the right information at the right time.

About the Therapy Dog:The Therapy Dog is your brain’s helper for your feelings. When things feel wobbly, too big, or a bit too much, they help you feel safe. They can tell when big feelings like worry, anger or sadness are starting. When that happens, they let you know, they try to comfort you, and help you to feel ok. They help you to pause before you react, take a deep breath when you’re upset, and bounce back when something goes wrong. The Therapy Dog doesn’t stop you having feelings (feelings are important!). But they do help you feel them in a safe way – like a gentle friend walking beside you. They always remind you: you’re not alone.
