Another question! What made you decided to make hopash night’s parents instead of crowice?
Oooooohhhhh I've been waiting for someone to ask this! It's mostly due to the reason Nightpaw takes canon Crowpaw's place!
When drafting this arc, I debated using Crowpaw (but only for a little while loll). Cause yeah, Crowpaw (*PAW) is an interesting character but.... how much really changes if you make it any other Windclan apprentice? We don't even see the Windclan revolution through Crowpaw's eyes! (huge wasted opportunity btw)
Plus uhhhhhh I'm keeping certain future Crowfeather uhhh 'bad stuff' in the story iykyk Using Nightpaw instead just ended up being a lot more interesting for the plot of tgj and po3... canon Nightcloud as a character just has a lot more going on yknow?
Now, understanding all of that, I still could have made hopash Crow's parents....
But Ashfoot is a lot more of an important character for the Windclan revolution plot, as well as in general, and I got really attached to Ash being Night's mom oops!
As for Hop, I wanted one of the povs to have a family member killed by Bloodclan.
This is a good example of my decisions when it comes to swapping around families. If it is not confirmed in the text of the six tpb books, and it makes for better or more interesting plot, I WILL change it. I am not beholden to prequel book lore and family trees. I refuse to be.
Thanks for the question!
