Kendra Kandlestar

In all the Land of Een, there’s no one quite so strange as young Kendra Kandlestar. Unlike most Eens, Kendra craves adventure and yearns to venture into the outside world that exists beyond the magic curtain. Of course, there are other things that set her apart too. There are her crazy braids, seven in all, which radiate out from her head like the rays of a star. And then there’s the fact that her only friends are the animals that live in Een. And, finally, there’s that mysterious connection that seems to exist between Kendra and the strange and grotesque creatures known as Ungers.

It’s for these reasons that many of the inhabitants in the Land of Een fret about Kendra and view her as a trouble-maker. Perhaps no one believes this more than elder Burdock Brown and, if he had his way, he would expel Kendra from the Land of Een altogether.

Kendra’s mother, father, and brother mysteriously disappeared when she was just a baby, so she lives with her Uncle Griffinskitch, one of the most powerful wizards in the land.

Kendra received her wish to explore the outside world when she was eleven years old. After the Eens’ precious Box of Whispers was stolen, Kendra was chosen by the magic orb to journey into the outside world to find it, along with her uncle, Honest Oki, Professor Bumblebean and Captain Jinx. Kendra faced the thief in a dramatic confrontation at the Castle of Krodos.

Kendra embarked on her next quest after the Unger wizard Oroook advised her to find the Door to Unger. Oroook claimed that if she could find this fabled door then she might be able to discover a clue about what happened to her family. With the help of Uncle Griffinskitch and her loyal companions, Kendra once again left behind the Land of Een and faced the Door to Unger in the dreaded Greeven Wastes.

After her twelfth birthday, Uncle Griffinskitch decided to train Kendra Kandlestar as a wizardress. He took her to the sacred whispering grove and there she procured her very own wand of Eenwood.
