Main Characters
Cello: A "palette" (or color magician) who can't seem to control her power to take the colors of the birds on her island and "paint" them onto different things. She can, however, do what no other palette can do- steal and paint objects from far away and write on objects with said colors.

Dr. Guell: The school doctor who helps Cello out whenever she messes up painting something a color.

Yoyo: The bird that Cello was paired with when she became a palette.

Other Characters/Places/Things
Palettes: color magicians. Those who have the ability to take colors from whatever they touch and, paired with the birds of Opal, are famed for creating beautiful items.

Opal: A remote island in the south seas that is home to both the birds with the world's most beautiful feathers and palettes.
