Larry

The Fixer

Larry

Larry is a book nerd and tinkerer. He loves learning, experimenting and taking things apart—even when putting them back together is harder! When LOVE truly needs him, he focuses and finds the right way to solve or fix the problem.

Olive

The Defender

Olive

Olive is the only girl in the original group: a brave, outgoing, energetic tomboy who jumps into adventures. When someone is in danger, she is usually first to defend them. She can feel afraid and still stand up for others.

Karl

The Muscle

Karl

Karl is the strongest Love Letter. He always has a grumpy look—even when he is happy! His name is Karl, but his Letter is V! When his friends need him, his grumpiness can fuel his strength.

My name is KARL! There isn’t even a V in Karl!

Evan

The Confuser

Evan

Evan is the youngest. Everyone goes left; Evan goes right after a butterfly! His unpredictable behavior can confuse danger—and sometimes himself. By noticing different things, he can discover something everyone else missed.

Meet Evan →
Evil X

The mischievous troublemaker

Evil X

Evil X likes pranks, tricks and trying to break up LOVE. He can behave like a bully, but he is not truly evil or frightening. He is always welcome. Sometimes his own behavior leaves him feeling left out. Learning takes time, and Henry never stops caring about him.

You’re always welcome. But what you did wasn’t okay. — Henry
