Mr. Bajusz, a moderately talented figure with unshakeable self-confidence, fights his battles on the battlefield of power, authority, and his own ego with the ammunition he brought with him from his family ties.

Um enorme quintal com varios bichos e arvores frutiferas. O endereço remete um dos titulos de uns dos livros de um grande escritor da nossa Literatura brasileira Monteiro Lobato com seu celebre livro de contos Urupes. De fato, assim como o titulo Urupes vem da lingua Tupi (urupe) cogumelo que da em pedaços de madeira.

Na verdade, uma observadora do seu reduto, ora meiga ora acida, uma personagem complexa, que apaga suas pegadas para que ninguem adivinhe o que guardada na mente e no coraço. Seu amor pela natureza e no a humana, amor pelas letras, as artes, sem ser esnobe para que no venha a ser o espelho dos seus, mas sim sua unica verso de ser propria e unica neste mundo. Sua parentela, seu irmo preterido o qual se evita pronunciar o nome pela tristeza por no ser acolhida por aquela que lhe deu a vida. O pai um funcionario de uma empresa que se faz ausente por haver varios compromissos de viagem. A me do lar, doceira de me cheia e costureira.
