About Wonderland

So you're not lost

Wonderland has a unique set of words and terms. They are listed below you won't get lost in wonderland while reading.

Wonder: Wonder is the source of energy for anything and everything in Wonderland. It's what makes the teapots fly, the plants talk and most importantly it gives everyone their own Talent. You see everyone in Wonderland is born with Wonder inside them, some more than others. For example Kat can disappear and appear whenever she wants, this is because she has a lot of Wonder flowing through her.

Meals: In Wonderland Dinner is served in the morning Breakfast in the middle and Lunch at sunset.

Monarchy: Wonderland is ruled by the Queen of Hearts. She makes up things a she goes along. The heir to the throne in Wonderland is the youngest child not oldest. The Queen's cousins The Red & White Queens help her make decisions

Doors: Many of the doors in Wonderland and positioned on ceilings floors and walls. Usually a room will contain a 3 doors minimum.

Gravity: Gravity is like the weather, it often changes daily. One day you walk on the floor the next on the wall.

Croquet: Croquet is the national sport of Wonderland. Flamingo's are traditionally used as croquet hammers and hedgehogs are used as the balls. The aim of the game is to hit the balls through the hoops. The game itself can be compared to golf ( However I strongly advise against the comparison of the two games especially if you happen to be around a Wonderlandian)

Yes & No: In Wonderland when you shake your head it means you're agreeing. If you nod your head you are disagreeing

Hoppers: Small rodents known to infest buildings and steal food and other small objects. Hoppers have pouches located on their stomachs used for storing food and other necessities

Starshowers/Stardrops: Drop of concentrated star glimmer. Stardrops are not edible but they can be used to beautify objects. Some Wonderlandians have been know to use it as makeup.

Sun Season: Takes up about half the year. The weather is usually warm and sweet. Skies are pink and orange throughout. Sun Season is only time of rainlight falls. Usually Sun Season days are long and warm and nights are short and cool, the season also coincides with fall and the beginning of winter.

Moon Season: Occurs in the second half of the year after the end of the Sun Season. The Moon Season is known for it's Lilac cloudless skies and starshowers. The season coincides with the end of winter and all of spring.

Star Season: The Star season lasts only 3 or so months and takes place after the Moon Season just before the start of the next Sun Season. This season coincides with summer.

WonderLake: At the very heart of Wonderland lies the WonderLake, known for it's powerful healing ability it's mirror like surface. The WonderLake is the sole supply of Wonder for all of Wonderland.
