Rufflebolt

“Tumbles to charge”

Where it was found

The Saltwhistle Fair, under the ring-toss booth

Its signature tell

Its sparks show its mood — soft when calm, frantic when scared. A warm spark means hello.

★ The real science — Why a balloon sticks to your hair

Static electricity. Tumbling and rubbing build up an electric charge — like socks dragged across a carpet — so light, soft things drift toward it the way a balloon sticks to your hair.

Personality

A stubborn ball of fuzz with a soft spot for soft things. It tumbles when it's nervous — which only builds up more static, which only tugs more fluff, ribbons, and the odd lost sock toward it. Read its sparks like a mood ring: slow and soft when calm, frantic when startled, and one warm little spark, just for you, when it decides you're a friend.
