The little creatures in a forest are the salt of our play, Ronia, the Robber's Daughter. Unfortunately I can't find anywhere why are they call of. So I have to use their Finnish names.
I have a double role as männiäinen and maahinen. Männiäinen is a little creepy creature, which is dangerous if you scare it. Maahinen (means usually a goblin) is a creature, which lives under ground and lure people.
And of course there is other creatures too: ajatar (consist of words aika = time and -tar = ending, which express womanhood) is a bird with woman head, quite like a harpy. Kakkiainen is a simple little creature, which ask constantly 'why?' or 'what for' and repeat sayings of his fellow creatures. And I think they're manic-depressive. In a scene, which last a few minutes, kakkiainen can feel four emotions: curiousness, happy, sad and hate. Or maybe it's dissociative identity disorder. Who knows.
