MANI a.k.a. Verena Naguliar, Mani is the owner of the Unicorm book store. She's an old lady with long, white, straight but soft hair, braided on each side of her face. Her skin was still soft, but she had wrinkles around her mouth and eyes. Her body still moved softly, but she was no longer lean and slim. She had a little belly rounded off by four pregnancies. She was trying to hide it under a loose dress, but she knew better. She walked around in sandals and a veil usually covered her hair. She thought differently than most people. She felt they needed magic and needed to find a reason, a quest, for their everyday life, she dress uniquely and read to her mesmerized clients. She had a talent for keeping crowds hanging on her every word. She was a painter and loved to illustrate her stories. She is also the author of multiple series made from recording her story time session that she personalized with her illustration.

ALAYANA, Alayana, Mani's granddaughter, is tall 14 yrs old with luxurious brown hair that had a touch of red flaming through it. She was slender, muscular and loves sports. She hopes to take over the shop and story time.
