Alex Periwinkle is a rabbit doctor in Sylvanian Village, renowned for his warm, reassuring smile that instantly comforts patients. He excels at calming children, soothing crying babies with stomachaches and making house calls by bicycle to treat fevers. Married to Kate Periwinkle, he co-owns and runs the Blackcurrant Café, serving tea, coffee, sandwiches, pastries, and confectionery from Frasier and Teri Chocolate. They have three children: Oliver, who dreams of following his father into medicine; Rebecca, who enjoys writing short stories; and lively baby Henry, whose constant activity makes family photography challenging. Alex cherishes capturing family memories, though Henry's energy often prolongs photo sessions. Evenings find him relaxing with tea while looking through photo albums. He participates in community nursery activities and family events like syrup parties and Kate's birthday celebrations.
