  Thanks to the feedback of Voki fans, we decided to create a new set of Voki characters! This month, we are expanding our collection of Voki characters to the magical land of Happily Ever After. Our new Voki fairy tale characters include some of your favorites.

We have a beautiful princess, a charming prince, a noble knight, a mis-chievous fairy, a funny jester, and a majestic unicorn. Click here then go to the Fairy Tale category to see them in action!
  All of our new and charming fairy tale characers are available to all Voki users!

Oh, and stay tuned for even more fairy tale characters! We have more bubbling in our cauldron!
