Every character in Arborwake is a brain cell. Cells are cute, soft and slime-like, and they are never drawn as people. Most named characters are microglia, like you. Each one has a side story, and some can join you on outings after you finish their quest. To learn about the cell types themselves, see Cells and biology.
