The Sinclair Wagon was the home of Heathcliff Sinclair, his wife Miranda, their niece Sammy and their friend Duster, and was pulled by their two horses, Chestnut and Pepper.

They traveled in it all over Fragaria, making their livings as merchants and peddlers, until it was eventually destroyed during their trip to St. Curtis.

Appearance

Exterior

The wagon appears as like a miniature house with a mostly square bottom and triangle top roof with blue tiles; elevated by four large wooden wheels.

On the left and right side of the wagon are large sliding windows that can be pulled up from the inside. On the back of the wagon is a lantern (also on the front) that can be lit during the evening, a double-paneled door that can be opened separately for viewing outside or fully opened to get in or out, and a short stairway that hangs just above the ground.

On the front of the wagon is a small sliding door, a large indent where Cliff or Miranda can control the horses from with a red wide-leather seat fit for two, brown wooden steps to elevate the driver onto the seat and two large shafts to keep the horses in place while in motion.

Interior

Interior

The floor consists of long wooden planks that go from the left and right sides of the wagon, while the walls are lined with blue wallpaper with white-thin lines streaming down. On the left side of the wagon is a light-brown sheet that covers the entire window and a brown treasure chest with gold rims.

On the front side of the wagon is a wide white floor-bed where Cliff and Miranda sleep with a red blanket and two pillows; above the bed is a shelf with a book stand of Meeros the Mortori Bird holding up three volumes of Potions and a lantern, and the small sliding door leading to the driver's seat of the outside.

On the right side of the wagon is a tall book shelf containing multiple items (including the glass case containing Mokurynn's Egg) with wooden guards on each level to prevent the items from falling over and two lines bolted to the wall to prevent the entire thing from falling, a calendar on the side of the shelf that seems to feature the Twelve Guardians for each month, and a white floor-bed with a single pillow and green blanket where Samantha sleeps.

In the center of the wagon is a yellow sheet that acts like a carpet for the residents to use for casual activities such as eating or writing. It's also where Rhea, Buwaro and Kieri slept while staying with the Sinclairs; covered by a pink blanket and sometimes extra pillows.

History

River-Side Stories

The wagon was parked outside of Riverside, in a snowy area. Sammy would lead her new friends there to meet with her family.

Love and War

It would take a few days for the group to reach Weyville. At night, the wagon would stop on the snowy road, horses still tacked.

It would be parked outside Weyville when they reached town. Cliff mentions they usually don't park inside of town, unless he and Miranda are making a big sale. Buwaro was told to stay here while the others went into town, and Rhea stayed as well so she could try to cheer him up.

Forgive Me

It would take the group a few weeks to reach St. Curtis. When Buwaro tried to learn Fire Magic from Cliff, he accidentally sent a fireball onto the wagon's roof. Kieri put it out with Water Magic.

The Flower Festival

Day 0

Upon arriving in St. Curtis, the wagon was parked in an alleyway under a large tree root, and would stay there for the duration of the festival.

Day 2

Rhea found Jake sleeping under their wagon, as all inns in the city were full.

Following Kieri's fight with Tobel, she'd retreat inside to hide and cry.

She never liked that wagon anyways.

Raising Hell

Day 3

Cliff would come back from the midwife's to the wagon, only to find Meeros casually eating cookies with everyone.

The wagon was destroyed during the battle of St. Curtis by Miranda, after she threw it on to Triska and Haury. She admits she never liked the wagon that much, and wishes it wasn't so packed.

Atop the Tree of Peace

Rhea and Jake find the abandoned remains of the wagon and grab their belongings from there. Rhea notes that the Sinclairs have only taken what they deemed necessary, which includes the Jakkai-like egg. The two of them are then thought by city guards to be pillagers, and escape.
