Speedy the Tortoise

“Speedy stands for chances. Not speed. Not perfection. But possibility — the kind that only comes when you believe in slow beginnings and brave endings.”

Her Journey

The Legend of a World Walker

A Shell Full of Stories

Speedy isn’t a normal tortoise. She’s the one who walked across the earth — literally. Her journey spanned 38 years, 6 continents, and thousands of lives touched.

From the dense humidity of Amazonian rainstorms to the biting winds of the Sahara and the silent snows of the Himalayas, she collected experiences, wisdom, and a single, honorable crack in her shell.

Her Character

A Little Chaotic, and Definitely Fabulous

Witty & Wise

Her humor is dryer than most deserts she’s crossed. She thinks in riddles and speaks in puns, offering wisdom with a playful wink.

Matters of the Heart

She holds a slow-burning crush on Bertie, the world’s fastest tortoise. It's a tragic romance, but Speedy doesn't chase. She observes, knowing that longing is its own kind of love.

Queer & Confident

She is unapologetically herself: queer, confident, and tougher than she looks. She moves at her own pace and invites you to do the same.

“Speedy is our reminder that it’s okay to take the long way. That movement, however slow, is still progress. That being you — fully, loudly, joyfully — is what wins in the end.”
