What is 52 Puffins – Waiting in the wings? Well, although we love our main characters, in 2013 we think it's time to celebrate the supporting cast: the extras with the witty one-liners, the dastardly villains and the best friend every hero would be lost without. Who's your favourite?

A big thank you to Phil for this week's slippery secondary character.
Your character’s name and the book they star in . . . Kaa, the snake from Rudyard Kipling’s ‘The Jungle Book’
Famous Friends Mowgli, Baloo and
Bagheera
Hero or villain? Kaa is one of
Mowgli’s mentors and helps Baloo and Bagheera to rescue the boy from the
monkeys’ captivity. But sometimes he is portrayed as a bit sinister, which
makes the other animals respect his powers.
Why you love him? He is a wise old
snake, and he uses his powers of hypnosis to lure the monkeys out of their
walled city
What’s his catchphrase or best quote ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Tell us something we might not know. Kaa tries to kill
Mowgli in the Second Jungle Book
What really annoys him? Getting tangles in his tail when he slithers
What does he dream of? Kaa probably dreams of coiling
around branches and hypnotising passers-by
Where would you go to hang out together? There would have to be lots of trees around or perhaps an open mic night at a hypnotist's show because Kaa likes having everyone's eyes on him
