Speak is Princess Apricot's mechanical bird companion, resembling a toucan but functioning like a parrot to repeat spoken words. Its vital role includes carrying urgent messages for the princess. Crucially, Speak dispatches her initial distress call when she is kidnapped, setting the main narrative in motion. During the escape attempt, a thunderbolt strikes Speak, damaging its systems. Otter later discovers the damaged bird in Bosco Forest and brings it to Tutty for repairs. Tutty successfully restores Speak's functionality, enabling it to replay Princess Apricot's full plea for help. This revelation allows the Bosco Forest inhabitants to understand her plight and launch a rescue mission. Aboard the Bosco ship, Tutty performs further upgrades, enhancing Speak's capabilities beyond mere repetition to allow interactive communication. Speak remains a constant companion to Princess Apricot throughout the journey to Fountain Land, sharing a close bond with her, though it does not appear in several episodes. As a mechanical aid, Speak lacks extensive personal development or background beyond its connection to Princess Apricot and its technical functions; its narrative purpose centers on facilitating communication and supporting the princess's quest.
