Meet the Characters

In Lumingrove, every Lumi gets a pendant on their eighth birthday that shows how they feel. Tap a pendant to see it glow.

  • Niko

    Lira’s twin brother

    Niko

    Niko is curious and brave. He loves exploring, collecting treasures like smooth stones and feathers, and making things at his workbench.

    “We can figure it out on the way!”

    Tap the pendant

  • Lira

    Niko’s twin sister

    Lira

    Lira notices what everyone else misses. She carries a little satchel, draws in her sketchbook, and hums softly while she thinks.

  • Tavi

    Baby brother

    Tavi

    Tavi loves music, twinkly lights and whatever his big brother and sister are doing. He’s too little for a pendant, so you can tell how he feels from his face.

    Say hi to Tavi

  • Mara

    Mom

    Mara

    Mara is a sky-gardener. She grows flowers that bloom at night and makes gentle teas from them.

    Tap the pendant

  • Oren

    Dad

    Oren builds the bridges and treetop paths all over Lumingrove. He taught Niko how to fix things.
