Spoilerish? Sundance lore.
Sundance’s name is a homage to his mother despite his ironic relationship with her(he kind of hates her).
he had 2 siblings. A sapling and a sprout. The sprout died at 3 moons due to sickness. Sundance and his brother the sapling made it to 6 months, but his father and the sapling were killed by “a cannibal”(it was a Jaguar) he was named Sundance by his father before he died. His mother’s name is Raindance and all of their kids have names in reference to the sun or weather (Sundance’s older brother is named Soleil) his father’s name was Barack meaning (lightning)
His mother is very conservative, she neglected and borderline abused him growing up while his father who was only occasionally around (he’d be away for months at a time in a patrol trying to fight for resources) taught him to have self worth and valued all of his kits equally. His father was also small like him. His father was trans and his brother served as a surrogate. Raindance wasn’t shocked when Sundance turned out to be trans too but disappointed.
Design wise Raindance is a Somali and Barack was a Bengal, so Sundance is some mix with design libreties
