+and Fabi the fox (the fox of the app icon, the mascot). Fabi is the host, not a player: no band offers it to the
+children, but the TV and games draw it like any other avatar. The lion, the T-rex and the fairy
 are offered to both 3–5 and 6–8. The TV shows them in place
 of the plain silhouette when the phone's video is not on screen. Each child picks one on the phone, among the avatars
 of their age band. The phone stores only the avatar's id; any valid id is accepted everywhere, whatever the band.
