Acorn has tangled, fiery red hair and striking green eyes, which stare out intently from a narrow, dirt-smudged face. A handful of freckles are scattered across his upper cheeks and nose, mostly hidden beneath the smudges of mud.
His dire rat companion, Barnabas, is a sleek black animal, perhaps three feet from nose to tail-tip, and is far better groomed than Acorn.
