Young Cello has the potential to become one of the great "Palettes" -- a wizard capable of manipulating color -- if she can only learn how to control her powers!

Cello meets Fenne, a fellow Palette-in-training who's been having problems with his abilities ever since his bird-partner died. Despite his sarcastic attitude, Cello is determined to both help him find a suitable new bird and to become his friend. Then Olga -- Dr. Guell's jealous bird -- decides that Cello is taking up way too much of Dr. Guell's time. She's determined to make sure that Cello successfully completes her Palette training. How is Cello going to deal with her new, feathered taskmaster?...
