Belfry Baker
If ever the was the definition of Trying Her Best, it's Belfry Baker. Well-meaning, sweet, clumsy, and somewhat naive, the bat-squirrel-ringtail cat mix has often struggled to be taken seriously, and considering her track record as a klutz, it's not hard to see why. From her less-than-stellar work as a Baker's apprentice in her family's bakery to her struggles with anxiety and self-worth, Belfry has begun to wonder if she'll ever feel like she's worthy to stand on her own two paws.Her life takes a sharp turn, however, when her earnest naivety leads her down a rocky ravine, where she finds a strange little creature all alone.
Facing complex family relationships with her own foster mother Tess, who disagrees with her choice to raise a kit on her own, and her sister Briar, whose once tight-knit relationship has become strained over the years, Belfry is dedicated to giving her Tamberlane a safe place to land. No matter what life throws at her, and even when she feels overwhelmed by her inadequacies, the new mother boasts a heart the size of her ears. And those are some big ears.

- Belfry is actually quite a talented baker — when she can stay on task. But her penchant for getting distracted, overly emotional, or panicky tends to ruin her recipes.
- Belfry is asexual, meaning she has no personal interest in sexual intimacy. This does not mean she isn't open to the idea of a romantic partner, however.
