Introducing our dauntless hero!
Collywobble, noun (singular). Thought to be from the collywobbles, “an uncomfortable feeling in the stomach caused by feelings of nervousness or slight fear”.
…and his glorious goddess
Lollygag, verb (intransitive), “to fool around and waste time; to dilly-dally, dawdle, loaf around, or goof off”.
That about sums up our hero/goddess relationship.

12:57 PM [13-Feb-25] Bravely bold Sir Collywobble. Lollygag watches over him.
Behold Koda “Superb”, a lightning colt of uncommon valor, who hath sworn fealty to his cause. And lo, the writer’s cramp that he carries is coveted by every merchant far and wide. A difficult task lies before him — to collect two animals of every kind. Blessed with a peculiar gift, the one they call “selfish interest”. Thus concludes another scroll in the Great Archive of Godville.
08:53 M [15-Feb-25] The Chronicle of Collywobble, the Legendary, bearing the mark of Lollygag the Divine.
He who would pack a lifetime of excitement into a single day must be of stout heart and questionable wisdom. They speak in hushed tones of his “shiny heels”, performed only under full moon. The gathering of thieves who prowl by night, known as “Blue Feather”, hath named him brother. Behold Koda “Superb”, a lightning colt of uncommon valor, who hath sworn fealty to his cause. That’s the short of it, though our hero claims there’s more.
09:28 [19-Feb-25] Lo and Behold! The Tale of Collywobble, who spreads the word of Lollygag amongst mortals.
And verily, he cherishes the tribble that dwells within his knapsack. Frequently observed inciting monsters against his foes, yet maintains high regard among surviving friends. He refuseth to spend nights in Healiopolis, though none dare ask why. The bards sing not of his quest to untwist the plot, for they can scarce stop laughing. Lo, his most glorious feat — “selfish interest” performed through rings of flame. In the shadowed halls of “Blue Feather”, his reputation precedes him like thunder before the storm. That’s the short of it, though our hero claims there’s more.
