Meet Sweet Seeds Sue—Jackalope Lane’s brightest thing under the sun. A farmer’s daughter with dust on her boots and sass in her smile, this spunky meerkat knows her way around a field and a punchline. By day she works the land outside town, planting her famous sweet seeds that rise into colorful Skittle plants, made for a perfect freeze-dried crunch. By sundown she’s back in town, trading laughs with the locals and catching the eye of Sheriff Rex, who pretends not to notice. Folks round here say if the candy tastes a little happier than usual, it’s because Sue grew it that way.

They call him Crisp'n West- and if you've wandered far enough into the dust and heat to find his saloon, you're already a little less lost. A gentle giant, he moves slow and deliberate- donning a smile to strangers like they're old friends who just took the long way home. He tends the bar with steady hooves, pouring drinks that hit hard but finish sweet- every glass carrying a sharp kick of apple. Some say it’s magic. Others say it’s just Crisp’n knowing exactly what folks need when they slide onto a stool.

That’d be Clyde, all right. Clyde Sour Seeds—Sweet Seeds Sue’s old man, and a man who don’t suffer fools or footprints on his lawn. He’s the kind who means business, and if you cross him, you’ll get a finger wagged at you like a loaded revolver.
Don’t go mistakin’ him for his daughter. Clyde’s sour clear through to the bone, always has been. Folks reckon it’s from a lifetime of lost card games, each bad hand settlin’ deeper into his scowl. Whatever the cause, that bitterness clings to him like desert dust—you don’t shake it easy.Best watch yourself, Sheriff. Clyde knows you’ve gone soft where Sweet Sue’s concerned, and he’s been keepin’ one hard eye trained your way.

Rosita holds court over the saloon like she was born to it—smile ready, sleeves rolled, pourin’ drinks and keepin’ the customers civil. She’s always the entertainer, light on her feet and easy with a kind word, even when the room gets heavy. Hard work runs in her blood, same as keepin’ those prairie berries clean and sweet. She’s the one seein’ they don’t wander into trouble or turn sour on the vine. Long as Rosita’s mindin’ things, the berries behave—and the town sleeps a little easier.

Doc Lincoln Lemon is the town’s young desert doctor, a sharp-eyed owl with smooth feathers, steady wings, and a heart set true. Handsome and calm under pressure, he treats locals and wanderers alike, asking little more than trust and a place to work. His cure of choice is a curious one—a sour lemon drop snapped into the mouth like a gunshot at dawn, sharp enough to wake the body and chase sickness clean out. Folks swear it works faster than prayer, and when Doc Lincoln Lemon is near, the air carries a bright citrus bite that tells you relief has already arrived.

Wess Taft is the town’s wandering talker and traveling market man, an old English Sheepdog with a beard full of dust and stories to match. He rolls in behind his creaking cart, Dusty Trail Taffy, hauling saltwater-sweet treats he makes from ingredients gathered far beyond the edge of town. Though Jackalope Lane is where he lays his head, Wess is always halfway to somewhere else, laughing loud and selling sweeter. He can strike up a conversation with a fence post—and once he’s got you talking, you’ll be there a while, wrapped up in stories as stretchy and irresistible as his taffy.

Jameson Peaches is Sheriff Rex’s oldest friend—and his favorite thorn—an Aussie Cattle Dog cut from the same dust and grit. Loyal to a fault and steady in a showdown, Jameson rides the line between ally and rival, always pushing Rex to be sharper, faster, better. He’s a regular at the saloon, boots up and drink in hand, where the air around him carries a sweet, tangy bite like peach rings after a long day on the trail. In a town that runs on trust and tension, Jameson Peaches stands firm—your best friend at your back, and the one man who’ll never let you get comfortable.
