Castor is fearless, curious, and led by instinct. One half of the Gemini twins, he’s the one who acts when the moment demands it—trusting his gut, taking risks, and pushing forward when time is running out. Castor brings motion and momentum to the Afronauts, reminding the team that courage often means leaping before you’re completely ready.

Pollux is the calm center of the storm. Thoughtful, intuitive, and deeply observant, she leads with both intellect and spirit. While Castor moves fast, Pollux sees far—holding the plan, reading the room, and guiding the team with quiet confidence. Together, the twins learn that the strongest leadership comes from balance: heart and mind, instinct and intention.

Known as The Left Leg of the Giants, Rigel is the Afronauts’ lead engineer—and their most misunderstood mind. After losing a leg to one of his own inventions, he rebuilt himself into a creative force of pure genius. He rarely looks like he’s paying attention, but he always is. Rigel designs the technology that makes the impossible possible, choosing the path of least resistance straight to breakthrough solutions. The smartest one in the room, whether anyone notices or not.

Code-named Stinger, Shaula is the Afronauts’ mission commander and truth-teller. Sharp, direct, and always three steps ahead, she leads from the command center—tracking locations, spotting danger, and keeping the team focused when the pressure is on. Shaula doesn’t sugarcoat the truth; she delivers exactly what the mission needs, exactly when it needs it. When Shaula’s in your ear, you listen—because she’s the reason the Afronauts make it home.

Capella is the youngest Afronaut and still in training. Bursting with energy and curiosity, she hasn’t discovered her superpower yet—but everyone at the Academy knows it’s coming. Capella represents potential in motion: proof that growth takes time, and that belonging doesn’t require having it all figured out—just showing up with heart.
