Do you plan to do anything with minor characters (as in those that don’t even have names and just kinda show up for one thing)? Big fan of the Bonefallverse so I wanna see what you might do with them.

Some of them, yes!

Fenneldust and Batear from Spottedleaf's Heart will be recurring Dark Forest background characters. They won't have BIG roles but I don't like how the DF feels empty. Fenneldust also is not killed by Thistleclaw-- it is not known that living cats can kill spirits until OotS.

I want to do something with the "tabby queen" in the first book of TPB, but I'm not sure what.

There is an SE/Novella that takes place after Mapleshade’s Vengeance, Darkstar's Commandment, which takes place in RiverClan. Because of that, RiverClan's allegiances will stretch up to at least 10 warriors.

So in addition to logical additions like Volepelt, who must exist to become Volestar by Goosefeather's Curse, all the RiverClan background characters without names will get one.

I'm not sure if she counts, but Dragonfly is not going to vanish with Darktail's rogues. She becomes a member of SkyClan. Claw and Fury are also alive and well when we last see them; Fury is the aging leader of BloodClan by Graystripe's Vow.

I don't like "nameless kills" like what happened in the Lights in the Mist vs Ashfur confrontation. I will always try to avoid 'unknown bodies' when possible, even if the POV wouldn't know them, someone did.

#Bonefall Rewrite #By their nature there aren't a ton of them I'll be saving #I do try to only pick up characters that exist which usually means they at LEAST get a name #But there are a couple.#The list would be longer for 'Characters that had minor roles and die unceremoniously between books'#And I do kit saves #I never construct a character out of whole cloth though... at least I haven't yet.#I may have to for the Ancient and Chivalric periods #BUT even when I do I try to pick a character who would have been cut from the field guides #And in addition a lot of field guide characters have way bigger and more impactful stories #Like Ripplestar who is now a Chivalric Period leader who defined the Ripple Era #Gorseclaw and Spottedpelt will both be having a lot to do with Ripplestar's Rebellion #Bone Babble
