How old were Dagga and Bold when they left the pride? You said they were almost adults, but they didn't seem to be older than Hope, more like they seem to were around Adamant's age, right?
Except they are older than Hope? I’d say Hope wasn’t even born when they were around but I’ll go further and also say that Jasper - Hope’s father - wasn’t even in the picture when they left the pride. lol - RJ

Hi, I'm the previous anon, I asked the previous question because I feared that when Hope sees Tempest again, she'll feel guilty for something that is basically out of her control.
Yep, it was completely out of her hands. Which is why Tempest would never blame her for anything that Vicious did on that day. On top of all that, Hope literally intervened and stopped Vicious despite only being a cub. She defended someone who was pretty much a stranger to her from her own mother. She has absolutely nothing to feel bad for. c: - RJ

I looked at Jasper's parents designs and they look buff and look like they can take someone in a battle. Then why the hell is Jasper so pathetic.
Genetics just don't work like that. It's all about conditioning most of the time. Jasper's parents lived a pretty rough life for most of their lives whereas Jasper was brought up in relative safety and peace. For example: my uncle is pretty tall and buff because he's played rugby for 20+ years and meanwhile I'm a short af and am the least athletic person you could ever encounter. lmao - RJ

I'm know this may be a future spoiler, but when Tempest meets Hope again, she won't be mad at her for what happened to her eye and forgives her right?
It would be pretty shitty of her to blame a child for something their parent did. - Cat

Did you have any other scraped plans for the comic? Is there a designs for any background character or the main trio that you were planning to use, but it couldn't make it to the final cut?
We have lots in the extras section of our tumblr. - Cat

Isn't it disrespectful for Quiet to be attracted/in love with Radiant in the AU, knowing that Radiant is aromantic? I also have an Oc aroace, and I wanted to give them a partner. But I don't know how to do something "more than friendship" that doesn't become romantic or family.
I'm literally aroace myself and no, it isn't disrespectful. lol
Relationships do not need to be strictly sexual or romantic, aromantic individuals can have platonic relations with partners. Highly suggest you look into it because recognising how platonic relationships work vs. sexual or romantic and how they are just as valid is a pretty major point when it comes to this sort of thing. - RJ

I also write my own stories with the dozens of characters I've created and I also have to point out that some characters, while they exist, just aren't important to the actual storyline? They're there to flesh out the main players in what I'm writing. Things like Warrior Cats do the same thing. Tons of characters that may appear here and there but the idea of covering every last one in story form is just inconceivable and downright messy from a writing standpoint. Just saying.
Exactly. Some characters just exist to either move the plot along (i.e. Spotted Ma, the Burdens) or explain certain elements concerning the actual main characters and their respective deals. It is super neat that people are so fascinated by our minor characters but sadly they're minor for a reason.
And besides: there's always the idea of writing fanfiction and AUs and tapping into the potential you see within them like you would with characters in any other fandom. c: - RJ

I know that Bold doesn't have much importance in the comic, he's dead, but really, we already saw about Clever, Merry and Quiet (Clever was important in the comic, and Merry and Quiet have their own episodes, so to speak)
And it would be interesting to see a bit of Bold too, even if it's just a few more flashbacks.
Don't you have any plans for him? Or for Watchful and Wild?
They all seem like interesting characters, and their designs are great. You guys do a great job designing them and i really want to see more about them.
The thing is with flashback scenes is that they have to be relevant to the plot. Otherwise, we're just pausing the story to put on a weird sideshow to just show characters for the pure sake of showing them. It would be "interesting", sure, but it would just be adding work to the intense pile we have already with what we currently have planned with the main plotline. oof
Merry and Quiet aren't really on the same level as Bold because they both served a purpose in terms of the plot. We may get a flashback scene concerning Bold or Watchful or Wild. We may not. It may just be a passing mention at the very most. It depends on what the story allows.
We certainly can't promise full chapters for them. I don't really see that as necessary. Like Jasper's parents, we simply allotted designs and personalities for Watchful and Wild just so that - in the event that we have to show them - they have an identity outside of 'the unnamed parents of Clever, Careful and Vicious'. lol
Same goes for Bold really. These characters are important in the essence that they play a part in the backstories of some of our characters but important enough to halt the story and dedicate a chapter to them in the same vein as Merry and Quiet? I don't picture that happening. :c He's also very much dead, so there's also the option of fans just writing their own AUs for him and to explore his potential that way. lol - RJ

Wait in which au wold quiet and diamond get together? I only know about the one where she lives and joins edge's pride
Yeah, that's not anything we've come up with so idk. The only AUs I've discussed where Quiet gets a partner is where she either gets with Radiant or Wind depending on the scenario. Sorry. oof - RJ

sorry if it’s been asked before but will we ever officially meet the prides Edge has collected or will they just be in the background like we know they’re there but they aren’t given much lore
We see glimpses of them in Chapter 15 when Fade is questioning them on the trio's whereabouts. Other than that? You'll have to wait and see. c: - RJ

What sexuality was Quiet?
In the Toyhouse she seems to be heterosexual but in the Au where she lives and joins to Edge's pride, she likes Radiant, and in another Au she would end up being with Diamond.
And I'm curious what sexuality Bold would have been like if he were alive? Would he have had a relationship with one of the Redstone lionesses or with Periwinkle if he had joined to Redstone pride?
You're correct about Quiet, that's why it's an AU. As for Bold, he's whatever sexuality/gender identity you want him to be, because he is dead. - Cat

May I ask:
Did Edge underestimate Clever and Quiet?
He called them worthless, but then seemed to respect Clever a little after the fight (although he still referred to her as "old queen"), and called Quiet pathetic in chapter 18.
They were both strong and skilled in their own ways. But is that enough to consider that he underestimated their or something?
I think that's a reasonable assumption. - Cat

When will we see the Redstone pride?
They look so amazing and interesting.
We'll be seeing them in the next arc actually. This current one only has a couple more chapters left. - Cat

The way you design lions in your comics is accurate to the size, posture, and details. They are such an upgrade from the MyPride lion designs.
Thank you so much! I love designing characters so I love seeing how diverse I can make them while keeping them still looking like lions. I know a good silhouette isn't everything but I try to follow the rules of being able to tell who's who of they're not colored in haha MP didn't necessaaaarily need that, but it helps if you're not gonna give them any differences besides mane bits on top of a head or different cheek markings. - Cat

I have two questions.
Do any of the characters have themesongs/playlists and is there a portuguese translation of the comic?
Sorry if they have been asked/answered before!!
Our toyhouse ("Cast" on the main page) has theme songs for each character and there's currently a Portuguese translation being worked on! We'll link to it when its ready to be posted. - Cat

how do you guys decide who answers these asks?
We answer based on who gets to them first. Sometimes, one of us us will not know what to say and leave it to the other but we tend to be on the same page about a lot of things so… - RJ
