Biography - Jocelynn Nadeau

A small orange creature, appears from the stump of a truffula tree. She "speaks for the trees" and warns the Once-ler of the consequences of cutting down the truffula trees, but the Once-ler ignores her. Soon the once beautiful land becomes polluted and the fauna flee to find more hospitable habitats. Eventually the final Truffula tree is cut down, and without Truffulas the Once-ler cannot make any more Thneeds. This leads to the closure of Once-ler's factory and the disappearance of the orange creature. The Once-ler lingers on in his crumbling residence, living in seclusion and remorse, while pondering over a message she left behind: a stone slab etched with the word "Unless". The Once-ler now realizes that she means that "unless" someone cares, the situation will not improve.
