Hi! I had a thought and now I was wondering... Lea is a Chen, and, I think, that's a big deal, right? Even his parents who are hunters are well respected cuz they're Chen. ...I think I read that somewhere...?

So, if Lea did "trade places" with the Hunter, would it really be "trading" places? Like, they would still be a Chen. Probably still not as well treated as a non-Hunter Chen, but would they be viewed by most others like the Hunter is?

hmmm yes and no... if Lea were a hunter, they would definitely still get mistreated, however it would be to a lesser extent & it would be easier for them to gain people's trust/respect than it is for our hunter.

Lea is still pretty young, so people would still tend to be wary around them; Lea's parents, who are both hunters, are older and very well-known at this point throughout the north, and have been very successful in their careers. they don't have as many problems traveling or interacting with common folk as other hunters (&handlers) would, but they did still have to put in a bit of work to prove themselves compared to if they were just handlers.

Commander Hadrien is kind of the darling Chen at the moment, since she's the commander and thus not a hunter, and Lea is... definitely well-respected, but overshadowed by her (hmmmm...)

also in my opinion as their creator if Lea really was a hunter they would be neurotic and extremely unwell; they already feel way too much pressure (mostly put on themself by... themself) just to be a good handler, and i think that would be quadrupled x1000000 if they were a hunter. people already inherently hate hunters, so they would be constantly paranoid and overthinking everything they do to make sure they don't "misrepresent" hunters and "prove" that people's dislike is actually warranted, and combine that with also having to represent their family name... their head would explode, unfortunately.....

but basically: yes they would have a bit of an advantage after the first few years, once they got older and people started recognizing them as a proper Chen. however, Lea would probably unintentionally self-sabotage and make everything way more difficult and stressful for themself anyways, so....

Asking for a friend: will Merlin be a dance partner option in old Camelot? (Seeing as they're pretending to be an old man) And now asking for myself: will we get to dance with Lancelot or Arthur 👀

Merlin's not (usually) pretending to be an old man in Camelot, that's just one of their incognito disguises. You can see Merlin's "normal" Camelot appearance if you linger in the stairwell during the first dream sequence.

Otherwise, Arthur and Lancelot will definitely be available as dance partners during the ballroom scene. Merlin...? We'll just have to see with them.

Hello! For totally innocent-not doodling-related-at-all reasons, I was wondering what's the height of the other non-friends/LI characters, like Duncan and Keres, and the Hunter's mentors. Or approximate heights, if you know/have defined then in your head.

Thank you!

so this is kinda hard to answer hahahaha i do typically envision Jorah as taller than the hunter, however i also know there are some people who have their hunter standing at 7ft tall so theyre taller than Lea and that would just be silly

so for simplicity's sake i'll say Jorah is about 6'5" and Rodrick is a bit shorter at 5'9"

Keres i'll put at about the same height as Noel, so around 5'7"

Duncan is actually the shortest of the older cast, at 5'6"

Harper is around 5'9" (he's really lanky) and Talia is around 5'2"
