Tawa the Hippo

Description

Tawa is an ancient Egyptian hippo and world traveler extraordinaire. After spending a few millennia in a dark, boring hole in the ground, some people dug her up and took her to live in a museum where they took very good care of her. She enjoyed living in the museum for a while, and made lots of friends. Eventually she decided she needed to see all the interesting places her friends told her about and quietly slipped away from the museum one night, to the consternation and confusion of the curators. Now she travels the world looking for new friends and adventures. She is a very friendly and gentle hippo, unlike her fearsome counterparts.

Despite the fact that I know real hippos are savage and kill people, I still think they are cute. I grew up reading George and Martha books, and I love the little blue faience hippos that the Egyptians made so that's roughly what I based Tawa on. She is pretty small like most of my other plushes.
