Gallaxi (Outerrune Rouxls) These Bittyduke types love being the center of everyone's universe and they make sure that their competition knows it. They love being sparkly, shiny, and soft and for that reason they will go to whatever lengths possible to outshine other bitties in terms of appearance. They tend to prefer darker-colored clothing, preferably in shades of blue, so they can make it pop with their own additions. Gallaxi bitties will sew glittery constellations and of course galaxies into their outfits, and have the tendency to add fluff to collars, sleeves, and capes that they are given. Like all Bittydukes, they have white hair but they go the extra mile by using things like sparkly shampoo and colorful space-themed hairpins to draw attention to themselves. They naturally prefer high-quality gifts as well as food and don't usually settle for anything less, but have the tendency to be somewhat fickle.

Cash (Cakerune Cap'n) In contrast to the majority of Captiny-type bitties, Cash types are recognized by their predominant softer beige coloration reminiscent of the cakes that they so enjoy making and slightly darker brown accents. Cash types like to wear a variety of colors in the hopes of attracting attention from others, namely green and red, though blue and yellow are also at least semi-popular among them. They're also highly likely to experiment with adding different ingredients to their respective cakes to make them stand out (which could perhaps be attributed to insecurities regarding their own appearances) whether it's meringue, blueberries, strawberries, whole cashews, vanilla extract, caramel, brown sugar, and so on. It's not unusual for them to turn to their respective Poppyseed and Matcha companions for reassurance or to help soothe a Matcha's own anxieties if needed. They are also multilingual and can speak French, Papiamentu, and English fluently.

Parrot (Angelrune K_K) Unlike most Baby Cakes types, Parrot bitties are usually multicolored rather than some shade of green. Their heads are often pinkish-red in color and they have lighter green coloring on their bellies and legs while their backs are typically a darker green (save for their tail feathers, which are often a mix of vibrant blue and light green). They are enthusiastic extroverts and will happily chirp, talk, and chatter one's ear off if given the opportunity. They eat throughout the day, usually meals of seeds and berries, and like taking baths frequently as well as preening their wings. They are quick to bond with others and absolutely have to sleep in the company of others for the benefit of their mental and physical health. A lonely Parrot is a sad Parrot, and sorrow can often lead to sickness. They prefer building their nests in little nooks and crevices, especially rocky ones but will settle for rafters or roofs as well.

Here's the first set of bitties for the new year~!

Matcha (Cakerune K_K) Energetic and eye-catching with their vibrant color scheme, Matcha bitties naturally specialize in matcha cake. They enjoy experimenting with colors and flavors, some preferring buttercream over satin and others thinking almonds and chocolate goes better with matcha than vanilla or strawberries. No two Matcha bitties like dressing the same, either; there are those who prefer an all-green palette while others prefer a multitude of colors (though green will always be somehow incorporated somehow). Matcha bitties, as with all Baby Cakes types, do best in a group of three alongside a Sweetling and Captiny. They are also easily distracted as Cakesy types, but they can focus during baking (and especially so if they're working on a cake for a special occasion). They tend towards trying to do too much at once which can result in them making mistakes such as mistaking salt for sugar, hence the need for supervision in the kitchen just in case. It has been noted that messing up their signature dish or any important cake can cause a Matcha to start questioning their own abilities in the kitchen without the proper reassurance.

Jean (Angelrune Cap'n) Sporting features of the blue-gray tanager, Jean bitties are distinguished by their restless and often times noisy personalities. They can't seem to be quiet for even a moment and, like other Captinies, do best in small groups. They will on occasion flock together with their fellow Jeans, but will gravitate towards Sweetlings and Baby Cakes types more often. They love open spaces, especially gardens, and their favorite fruits tend towards papayas or tangerines. If starved for nutrients, they will also eat insects or nectar (though according to them, they don't like the skittery feeling of legs going down their throats). They thrive in human households best, but are unopposed to dwelling in homes owned by monsters. Jeans are fastidiously clean primarily due to the unfortunate tendency of picking up parasites that will nest in their wings. While these parasites cannot harm inorganics, there is still the very real possibility that a Jean can accidentally spread these parasites to human or nonhuman bitties.

Reedling (Angelrune Lancer) Named for their exceptional roundness, Reedling bitties are significantly different in color than most other Bittyspade types. They are primarily orange-brown in color with gray heads, yet are still easily identifiable as a Bittyspade type by the spade-shaped shadow hiding the upper half of their faces as well as their signature blue tongues. Their wings feature some contrasting black and white markings. Reedling bitties are highly social and thrive in a home with large groups of bitties, easily up to two hundred, and they are quick to latch onto older sibling-like figures. They love reed-filled areas, especially those by lakes, and will often hop from reed to reed while using their small wings to assist in their jumps. They'll also happily root around for worms and other bugs in swampy or otherwise muddy areas, often forgetting to clean themselves off when they return with their prizes. In the case of worms being unavailable, however, they will also happily consume just about anything that they can get their hands on (but especially seeds).

Cass (Angelrune Kris) These bitty types can be aggressive at the best of times, and territorial over what they see as theirs; this can include their adopter as well as certain other bitty types in the vicinity. Because of this, it's advised that they are adopted by those who intend on only having very few bitties or a single-bitty household. Cass bitties are incapable of flight despite their best efforts, so instead they take pride in keeping their wingfeathers sleek and shiny with plenty of grooming. They do not take well to strangers and will often disappear into a hiding spot long before others know they are present, and it's not uncommon for it to take a while to earn a Cass bitty's trust. They prefer forested environments that they can run through, and pride themselves on their speed and agility. They are also excellent jumpers and good swimmers courtesy of their active lifestyle; Cass bitties can never sit still for long, and tend to cause chaos when bored.

Plover (Angelrune Noelle) With a preference for areas near water, Plover bitties enjoy collecting pebbles and seashells. They prefer eating seeds above all else, especially soft-shelled seeds, though if seeds are not available they aren't opposed to consuming insects or bark for sustenance. They also enjoy playing on rooftops or in fields with short vegetation; the latter is preferred because it's less likely for their playmates to get lost or hurt. They are usually nocturnal, and can spend a fair amount of time staring at the moon (especially if it's full or close to it); it's rumored that their ice magic increases on full moon nights, or that they are absorbing energy from the moon itself. Plovers feel most comfortable in multi-bitty households, as they are social creatures and don't do well on their own. These bitties have soft brown wings and white stripes located on their fur near their eyes, and their clothes consist of a pale bluish-white robe and sandals.

Velli (Deltafell Ralsei) These Ralslights are, to put it bluntly, as different from the majority of their fellows as they can get. For one thing, they are highly ambitious and manipulative. While skilled healers, they will often refuse to offer their skills unless provided with something of value in exchange. They often tend to be hard to read, which makes it difficult to predict what they might desire, and they usually only offer one opportunity to get it right. If incorrect, they will simply turn their backs on those in need of their healing skills. They tend to dress in ragged purple or red robes, often with a black broken heart design located upon the chest area, and an equally tattered scarf. Their fur is pure black from the tips of their ears to their toes, and they have sharp claws upon their hands. They tend to be standoffish and blunt, uncaring of how mean they come across, and they believe that aggression is the only way to get one's point across. Velli bitties are primarily carnivorous.

Teacake (Cakerune Noelle) With a lighter-colored coat of fur than many of their fellow Micro Deer, Teacake bitties have a unique leucistic gene that affects their appearance. The majority of Teacake bitties tend to be in their mid to late teenage years, though there is the occasional baby and even rarer adult Teacakes. They always smell like teacakes, that being their namesake, and are proficient in not only making teacakes but in making a wide variety of holiday-themed cakes as well. Teacake bitties also have a herd mentality and do much better when they have other bitties around to serve as companions. Teacake bitties also tend to have a fear of loud noises such as thunderstorms and fireworks, so it's advised for their living area to be soundproof to reduce or prevent the levels of stress and fear they would otherwise experience. Teacake bitties are also not good with confrontation, which can lead to them being bullied by other bitties who see them as easy targets.

Hickory (Cakerune Kris) Named after hickory nut cake, it's no surprise that Hickory bitties can and will eat anything they can get their hands on as long as it's either chocolate or has nuts in it - preferably both. However, all Hickory bitties have a notorious allergy to walnuts to the point where even smelling walnuts can cause them to have an allergic reaction. It is recommended that if you use a lot of walnuts in your household that you do not adopt a Hickory bitty, as they will inevitably wind up raiding your cupboards - just don't ask how they managed to get up there. Hickory bitties are crafty and mischievous with a tendency to get into things that they really shouldn't. They're not  very talkative, only ever speaking up when they feel it's necessary. Like all Cakerune bitties, they will always smell like their namesake and are capable of baking it with ease. Other dishes, however, will often end up burnt to a crisp. Many Hickory bitties also have an unusual fascination with bath bombs.

Pineapple (Caketale Alphys) If you're looking for a companion to watch cooking anime with, look no further than a Pineapple bitty. Carrying the scent of pineapple cake, Pineapple bitties are just as eager to watch cooking anime and even willing to try making the recipes with their adopters...albeit with varying degrees of success. Their diet will also consist primarily of dishes that they see in these types of anime, so it's probably for the best that one doesn't allow a Pineapple bitty to watch too much Naruto at once lest they have a bitty whose diet consists entirely of ramen and dango. However, there is one trait Pineapple bitties share that puts them on the same level as certain rabbit-type bitties, and that is that they can make some of the best ice cream that you've ever tasted. It's because of this that they're willing to collaborate with Nicebitties on new flavors and combinations despite their social awkwardness and hesitance to take credit for anything.
