Biography
Hello! I'm Ombretta Umbra. I'll tell you about my mother Gureeda (aka Reeda). She was the princess of Umbrella Island, located in the Nonestic Ocean. When Speedy came to the island, Reeda befriended him. The two (along with the dinosaur skeleton Terrybubble) went on an adventure and outwitted the king's evil councilor Kachewka. Eventually, Speedy decided to go home, while Terrybubble stayed with Reeda.

My mom misses Speedy - you could tell she was in love with him. But as she got older, she got over it and married someone else. I am an only child, so I have just me and my mom and dad with me. My grandfather, King Sizzeroo, passed away when I was seven, so now my mom is Queen Gureeda. She managed to reunite with Speedy thanks to modern communication. She's happy he found someone else to love - and he has kids of his own.

I'm obsessed with books. I'm always reading books, and I have a fun time entertaining myself with new books. I read so much that I get distracted with them and pay no attention to real life. It's the reason why my grades aren't that good. But honestly, I'd rather be reading than living real life. The world of fiction is so vast and ever-expanding, while reality can be pretty boring.

I'm very good friends with Speedy's son Wyatt. He's really kind, and he loves reading books. He especally likes books about dinosaurs - I have plenty of those. I'm interested in dinosaurs as well, and I have Terrybubble to thank for telling me all about the time of the dinosaurs. (I wonder how he felt about that asteroid that made the dinosaurs go extinct...) I often hang out with Wyatt's friends Tomtom and Perry. The other boys don't mind having me keep them company - they enjoy my presence.

One thing I have to deal with is my lisp. I've had a lisp since I could talk, and it's very apparent when I talk. I prefer not reading out loud because of it - I'd rather read quietly. Some kids make fun of my lisp. Lucky for me, Wyatt, Perry, and Tomtom don't make fun of it and are very understanding. It's good to have friends who accept you for who you are, since you know that they've got your back.

Bye!
