“The idea is that she [Bunty]’s a shy girl but then she comes out of her shell when she’s dealing with animals. So she’s quite fearless, she’ll get in there, she’ll roll up her sleeves, she’ll get involved. So we were thinking that’d [Bunty’s pinecone wand] may be symbolic of her bring quite practical, she’s into nature. We thought that might be quite fitting for her.”
