Why Didn't Kinkajou Get Her Own Book? | WHATSISFACE

[@minkpaint4432]

She didn’t get a book because all characters have a character change throughout the book, and Tui didn’t want to change Kinkajou, so she didn’t.

[@wonderstorm116]

@@Sawgrass-TML “Wof characters are plain and a bit boring.” *the entire video being on Kinkajou.*

[@Woff-e]

@@Sawgrass-TML Respectfully, they have great personalities and differences between each other, and the writing for the stories is amazing. Just because she’s part of a different authors team, doesn’t mean she has to have the same writing style. In conclusion, everyone is different and has their own version on how to wright a good book.

[@100k.___]

@Sequoid exactly, like how Tsunami went from the ferocious to a little more careful, and Snowfall went from a cautious brat to a more understanding Queen

[@lemitak3867]

Kinkajou is too perfect to change.

[@LunaTheDragonPlayz]

She thought kinkajou was explained enough :)

[@tvna_mayo]

another point is is that she’s a well evolved character. so writing a book about her instead of Peril would (like Cyprus said) would just be repetitive. i would totally read a book about Kinkajou though.

[@Rain-bj2ue]

Personally, I think she could have a winglet book, so we could get a view of her, but still not get to bored of it since we got Sunny’s book

[@SkyPangolin]

Sunny seemed to have a different personality in her pov, but kinkajou is who she is

I do also but I feel like she should get a winglet book if she gets any book at all maybe like what happened before she met Glory or so we can learn more about the rainwings

[@BCYnot]

Interesting! I figured she didn't need her own book too. Since she was first mentioned in book 3, she has a longer...lets just say.. HISTORY than the other dragonets in the Jade mountain winglet series. She didn't need a new book for herself to make it more interesting. In fact, I think it would have dulled the ability for Tui to make her a more interesting character; that was all revealed in book 3 anyway. Also, love the art work!💗💛

[@Clover_Hawk]

At first, I thought that Kinksjou should have gotten her own book since she was part of the jade winglet but now I realize that she is probably better as a side character

[@natalienovak4462]

She isn’t a side character tho

[@Clover_Hawk]

@@natalienovak4462 Although she is a really important character and gets a lot of page time and is friends with the main characters, I consider her an important side character instead of a main character because she didn't get her own book but you can still consider her a main character if you want, I'm just telling you what I would consider a main character and an important side character :)

[@natalienovak4462]

@@Clover_Hawk ok we all have our own opinions😊😊

[@alex.mcneil42]

U r right, but she didn’t HAVE to change Kinkajou’s character. She can make her have a book, but still keep her silly personality and just have her think things like ‘oh, an evil dragon split open a mountain and is a mind reading animus who could possibly kill us all. Let’s have a tea party!’ You know?

[@-_Nifi_-]

Wings of fire winglets should have a kinkajou book

[@wildmewashere]

I mostly agree, although if she had gotten a pov book the development of her relationship with Turtle would have been just so cute... That I always will want

[@ace4047]

as much as I love kinkajou, I think it's a good thing that the series went the way it did. :)

[@sunset6441]

I would've liked to see a kinkajou book, at least a winglet, titled "hidden secrets", a mixture of the book 3 and 4 titles, from her living in the rainforest, actually caring about the disappearances, to her being a disappearance, plotting to escape and eventually meeting glory, escaping, and coming home. Her POV during the royal challenges, her experience in her coma thing. I would like to see clearer her feelings, how she experienced things.

[@discopidgeon9976]

I love Kinkajou's character and think she's absolutely perfect, and I'm fine with her not having her own book. BUT, it would be really fun to see her get, like, a winglet or something to show just a little, fun adventure of hers in the rainforest!

[@phoebeisthebestest]

The simple answer isn't because she was alike sunny, but because tui liked where her character was. All the characters that we have seen have a POV book, go through some character progression, like peril, Turtle, etc. That's the simple answer.

[@Bombyer]

I seriously agree with you. Kinkajou definitely grew how she was supposed to, since she is still young! I think Tui did a right job of not giving her a book. But also in the art.. where's the ruff?

[@Cyprizz]

Ok I feel like I’m misunderstanding or something, but did Cyprus forget the frill on Kinkajou? I love the art btw!!

[@the_flaming_kha0s]

I think a winglet from Kinkajou or Tamerianin(?)'s pov would be amazing, showing us a more in-depth view of the RainWing tribe and how they became such good friends

[@Cyprizz]

Yeah I agree

[@L-ghtlessSky]

Kinkajou, Tamarin and Mangrove

[@wonderstorm116]

Tui May have thought it would’ve been repetitive, but Kinkajou isn’t actually an ordinary, happy, optimistic little kid. She is also a little confused towards NightWings. She isn’t quite sure how to feel about any of them. She’s been through a bunch, and it would be inspiring to hear about how she dealt with it and kept her perfect, happy but slightly cautious nature. Kinkajou’s book would maybe show how she felt a bit guilty about not always being there to help and fix problems. It would be funny to see her thoughts on Glory and how she’s her idol. She felt slightly betrayed by the entire rainwing tribe and felt like nobody cared that she was kind napped, taken and tortured. Kinkajou felt as thought all the RainWings who she thought cared about her saw her as annoying and dumb. But Kinkajou is so unique and it’s like she always looks on the bright side, looking up to Glory and her book would show her always tying to be as good as Glory and making up for all the action and opportunities she missed. Trying to prove herself as much as she could, just like Sunny. She wanted to be there and help and be big and be someone everyone could look up to, just like she looked up to Glory, the best dragon in her life, and the best dragon the RainWings ever met. Kinkajou is a lot on the surface, but even more under all those colourful scales. Idk whether to apologize for this mess or be proud of this masterpiece.

[@edieo.9565]

i love your art style sm

[@vvworth1593]

If Kinkajou had a chance at a POV, I think it would be a Winglet about being held on the volcano. Just a little reminder about what she has gone through, so you remember that she’s not just a sweet face, like Sunny. She has a fierce side, and she’s intelligent, as shown at the end of book 10 with the whole strawberry thing.

[@theblueheart2662]

I will forever be sad that we never got a Kinkajou book considering that she is fighting with Turtle for my favorite character position. Whether she got that book in an arc 2, 3, or hypothetical 4 it's just something I would have loved to see. Personally I don't agree with the comparisons I see of her being basically Sunny. I understand the similarities but to me they are still different and unique characters. I enjoyed the video and thank you for talking about this topic lol it's one that I'm pretty passionate about.

[@lillywowwow3309]

I love the way u put character growth!it gives me raising a child vibes lol

[@wolfiegirlxox]

Like Tui says, she's already saved the world multiple times, she doesn't need to again

[@Worldsapart410]

I honestly think fatespeaker should have gotten a book. She’s a great character and they could build off of her trauma from the false DoD and being a big outcast in her tribe. Like maybe she just really bubbly and positive to sheild herself from her trauma. Like just her as a character not the entire star speaker ship because some people hate her just because of the starspeaker ship which is a shame.

[@GundamKType]

Actually for me most of the time my favorite character is the main character of a series although there are a few instances in which this is the case. Wings of fire be one of them and that character being Darkstalker.

[@StoryTeller796]

Technically, she wouldn't need to go through character change in order to have an interesting story, she could just have a constant character arc who's character could be similar to someone like that boy from the Iron Giant. Of course, that would probably require a second character which she would have to revolve around and judging from some fans reactions to Blue, I don't think with she is capable of doing that.

[@noahhallows1034]

the Rain Wings get hire by the Sky Wings as art work. one year later lots of Sky Wing royalty mysteriously disapeared. and Kinkajou is just fine as a side character that comes in to the story as a character with a happy side to her. and a convinent helper to the plot.

[@NNNNNNNNNNNNNNl]

I like your fanon more than this canon is what I will say regarding the entire series. I still generally favor Legend of Spyro fanfiction authors such as Dardarax and RiverStyxx to the writing from Wings of Fire, at least in terms of overall quality. I feel like all of the WoF books, especially the first arc, have significant pacing and character development issues to the point that there were several points in trying to read The Dragonet Prophecy at Barnes & Noble in 2013 before Wings of Fire became as popular as it is now where I had to simply put the book down because I could not tolerate how unlifelike the narrative felt. The amount of soul and personal expression you put into your fan content for this series is very inspiring though, and quite a beautiful thing. It is rare to find somebody in today's world who expresses themself through an online dragon persona almost more endearingly than most human beings can in their every day lives. Your contributions give this series a more lifelike dimension of appreciable personality than the books ever could for me. I will spare delivering a long-winded rant on WoF's attempt at a narrative at this time.

[@TrickyTalon23]

Kinkajou didn’t become a protagonist for the same reasons I think Luna shouldn’t have been a protagonist. There’s little to no need for character growth. Throughout Books 11-14, Luna shows no signs of major flaws to work on. Her hatred of HiveWings could have potentially been one, but that theme was already covered in Sundew’s book and really didn’t need the be explored again by Book 15. She’s a great supporting character with the way she tries to get Blue to take a stand against the corrupt rules, but there’s really no need to change anything major about her. Most new themes in Book 15 about “still smiling on the outside” and “doubt in being a good hero” came completely out of nowhere and in no way line up with the way Luna behaved in the previous books. I really think Luna would’ve been better off as a supporting character instead of a protagonist just like Kinkajou was.

[@Sumaire_STi]

I agree with all of your points, for sure. Plus, given that we had plenty of insight into her character via Moonwatcher's telepathy, we already had a pretty good idea of what goes on inside that poor head of hers. There's also something else that's rather interesting when it comes to Kinkajou, though. (SPOILERS BELOW! Going to leave a gap so that people who haven't finished the Jade Mountain Prophecy arc don't see ahead) . . . SPOILER WARNING: Though it can sorta be handwaved away as extremely fast learning, it's interesting that, through Kinkajou, the school itself can actually play a critical role in the plot--and not just in bringing the characters together. Before going to the school, Kinkajou couldn't really read. However, in the end, she wound up writing the spell (albeit with help) that locked away Darkstalker once and for all. It's kinda funny to think that the spell that locked away arguably the single most dangerous antagonist may be written with *the* worst handwriting to ever control animus magic. :P

[@scorchinghotcheese]

Tui says the reason is that she is already where she needs to be in character development. Also, you forgot the frills.

[@rasmichandran8239]

I totally understand why kinkajou didn’t get a book, but I would really love a winglet on her time with the night wings, we see how she is when glory’s there, but just a short winglet on what she experienced would be fun to read

[@willapriddy9601]

I wish that jambu had his own book or deathbringier

[@stephensfamily5154]

6:49. Yes, I can say I would need at least 15 hands to count all my favorite characters that are side characters. My favorite character in the entire series is Mango, a rain wing mentioned once in book four on page 221. I don't even know why their my favorite character.

[@AmandaPennel]

I believe kinkajou could get a winglet about her time in the night kingdom

[@itzflame5523]

Kinkajou didn’t get her own book because Glory is already a female Rain Wing protagonist. There can only be two books with the same tribe, one mal and one female. If we were to get a new Rain Wing protagonist it’d have to be Male. Also because each book includes a character change Tui probably didn’t want to change her.

[@alex.mcneil42]

I kinda wish she wasn’t right tho… because we NEVER see the Dragonets of Destiny anymore. THEY WERE GOOD CHARACTERS. I want to see them in the books more often, even as side characters. They were: 1. THE LITERAL MAIN CHARACTERS OF ARC ONE 2. They had a HUGE variety of personalities and where such good characters to read about 3. WHAT ABOUT JADE MOUNTAIN?!? They made a FREAKING SCHOOL IN THE MOUNTAIN and Tui is just gonna IGNORE IT for the rest of the series?!

[@Dove983]

I actually was a little disappointed in not seeing a pov from Kinkajou but if there was a pov for her in arc 2 i feel like it would have messed with the arc and made it going from ‘suspensfull OMG whats gonna happen next’ to ‘yes everything is fine i love butterflies’ so i like Kinkajou as she is now. But, we could also have a kinkajou winglet, similar to Deathbringers more or less her childhood how she became the loveable kinkajou we all know and love today. But if Tui didn’t really have that ‘interesting childhood’ for Kinkajou then i totaly understand. Keeping her like this would have been way better then having her a serious dragon. Thanks for reading my comment all the way :D

[@Itzzz_Alex]

I have more to add, this is similar to some other comments but I would just like to add it... Another reason Tui didn't make a Kinkajou book is that in each book, the main character in the books, each character has a big character development all at once. And before, or after their book, they also had more. Although Kinkajou had some character development throughout the entire series, little by little. And Kinkajou also was perfect other than something here and there. She didn't need much character development. So therefore Tui didn't make a book for Kinkajou. Kinkajou was completely fine without one. P.s. I love your videos! Please keep it up! I love to hear new stuff, different opinions, and different ideas on stuff that I love! I hope What I said about Kinkajou has given a little more thought to why Tui didn't make a book for Kinkajou. Love you! ❤ -Alex❤❤❤

[@alisonchan645]

Honestly, I know many people will disagree with me, but I hate kinkajou because I think she is obnoxious and very annoying, so I am happy she didn't get a book. I also wish Sunny didn't get a book because her personality is similar to kinkajou.

[@chocolatewaffles-lp3gh]

Kinkajou really should have gotten her own book, but her character was just perfect the way it was! Also, I noticed she doesn’t have an rainwing frill in the drawing :(

[@carissapatterson3990]

The reason why Kinkajou didn't get her own book is bc Tui stated that [yes she really did I believe] she has expressed herself enough in the other books that Tui didn't feel like she needed her own book. In book three Kinkajou literally talked the entire time Glory was awake in the caves [yeah, I get it she has been lonely for 18 days and no one to talk to but still🙃] She's also been introduced in book three, but we already know a lot about her than the others [Peril disagrees with me cause she was introduced in book one, and still got her own book😛] She's expressed herself with happiness and her speech in book three about how much she cared for other dragons. And please remember in book six when Moon was reading her mind... catastrophic! 🤗 🗨

If the Kinkajou fans bother Tui enough, maybe she'll she'll make a winglet about her life before the main series or what it was like on the nightwing volcano island. Also, your drawing of Kinkajou is adorable! I would suggest something for ur videos but, its not as interesting as you would think. Here's my suggestion: Dragonsheep made somewhat of a game where it was the Wings of Fire Hybrid challenge.

I think Kinkajou is an amazing character, though I think it’s also fair that she didn’t get her own POV book. Hear me out, although Kinkajou is that one character that we all like and we wish we could all read about her thought processes and feelings, her personality is, as you said, already developed enough. I think another reason Tui left out Kinkajou’s POV, (I could be wrong) is so we can try to imagine what it would be like to be Kinkajou.

I would love a Kinkajou book. She is one of my favourites. But I also think she shouldn't have a book during an arc, it would require character development to happen and I lover her the way she is.

If Tui didn't want to repeat characters, why did Sundew have book 13 because Sundews Tsunami pretty much and it would make more sense to have Swordtail?

[@-_Nifi_-]

Kinkajou’s origin story… She hatched in the rainforest under a random egg, and carefully climbed out from under it. About a minute later, that egg hatched and out popped tamarin. She lived a mostly normal life, but soon tamarin started to go blind. Kinkajou tried to help her friend in anyway she can, helping tamarin memorize the village, try to help her go invisible, overall a great friend. A few years passed, then glory and her friends came and you know the rest

[@Dragonhex]

Sorry, commenting before finishing vid, so you might mention this, but another reason is that Kinkajou would be seen in a different light, but like you said, I don’t really WANT that new light to he shown. I don’t want her to have a dark, desperate side thats worth a book about. What do you think, could a new side of Kinkajou be a goos book? I think no, but what about you?

I think she will get her book but later when Pyrrha has finally gotten the spotlight back I think if there other continents a more level headed and matured kinkajou will be seen like riptide in book 7 A side character who is somewhat important I agree with everything you said but there are just the certain things you have a point on to some people BUT a fellow writer can ask “but” I love the way you see things and I did think what you said was very very accurate and even inspiring to writers who over concentrate a character to a point where it’s no questions asked a dynamic character that CANT stop changing Like I said there may not be anymore arks like Arc 3 with the new continent but if there were on I think a grown up kinkajou would definitely take it on where she has been through so much and in such new environments she is to me an adapting character who is very knowledgeable about certain things I think kinkajou as a main focus in another arc would be perfect Clay and Moon had there moments it’s just about time for there underestimated friend to get hers (I didn’t mention an Arc 3 main POV because it was too much at once for me and definitely hard to understand anyone who is above anyone else) If anyone read the whole thing Sorry I’m easy to get wound up!

[@bano7861]

Without Kinkajou, Moon Rising would practically be WALL.E in levels of depression. Okay, maybe not that far, but she truly brightens up her surroundings wherever she goes. Something I've heard often, which is true, is that since Tui makes character development for each book, and Kinkajou doesn't need character development, the former didn't make a book for her. I'd like to expand upon that. Kinkajou doesn't need character development because she already got it. Through the series, we see her become more understanding and thoughtful while maintaining her bouncy snarkiness. All from the sidelines. We can all admit that we'd love to see a Kinkajou adventure, but she'd simply lose her charm in a book.

[@thehyperscientist1961]

Well put. Kinkajou didn't get her own book mainly because she didn't need one. After her debut in The Hidden Kingdom, she had some pretty substantial character development throughout the Second Arc. Her development also complented the main POVs of the Second Arc well, as she was one of the main supporting characters

[@stromcrashtheicewing6353]

Even if kinkajou didn’t get her own book she could get a winglet. That way she does HAVE a book but it’s not that important. A kinkajou winglet could be quite interesting it could be about her time on the nightwing island or about her time at jade mountain with turtle and her the new Mudwing in her winglet during the time of arc 3. Love the art Cyprus! I wait every Sunday for your art! I love kinkajou! Side note:You forgot kinkajou’s frills!

[@wolfrosefrost5475]

With the POV’s of book are reserved for fully developing characters, Kinkajou is developed enough in the second arc that she doesn’t really need a POV slot. Though there is a problem in the second arc and its story. While the individual stories are great, the overall narrative is not so much. The first arc does the overarching plot best with each books individual story building toward said plot with the last book being the one that focuses on it. The problem with the second arc is that the book that focuses on its plot is the fourth book, not the last. It would be possible to fix the overarching plot in a sense while keeping the individual stories, though there would be a few tweaks here and there. Though one may wonder how we may change the order with how tight the story is. Simple, order 1, 3, 5, 2, 4. We start with Moonwatcher but with Icicle not escaping. Which leads to the jade winglet joining Peril and Turtle sneaking out of jade mountain, pyrite joins them after the talons of peace ambush. Kinkajou is knocked into her coma by the flame cactus leading to Peril tuning away and Winter chasing after her. They have their fight, Turtle carches up to the two with the rest of the group healing Winter injuries revealing he’s an animus. We continue on till Darkstalker breaks free where we continue with Qibli. Darkstalker says sweet words to get the group on his side. We continue on to Jade mountain and have Qibli’s story with the addition of Pyrite being revealed to be Hailstorm. Continuing at the end of the battle with Icewings and Nightwings, Winter and Hailstorm are sent away with their family and without Foeslayer the group are captured by Darkstalker. Continuing with Winter, we have His story with the diamond trial continuing with him and Foeslayer rescuing the Jade winglet. They succeed in freeing them but are captured with Darkstalker enchanting Winter to be loyal to him, maybe even turned into another dragon. This leads into Turtle and the rest of the jade winglet abut before being rescued with Darkstalker sending away Anemone. Their broken free, going after Anemone. They stop her and go get Kinkajou healing her from her coma. The group go off to save Winter and Stop Darkstalker. The group are able to barely succeed, end story. Also Winter would have had a better crush on Kinkajou than Moonwatcher, change my mind.

Kinkajou should never get a main series book, but having a winglet about kinkajou (on the Nightwing island in book 3 for example) would almost sound good in my head. We would know how Nightwings really treated the Rainwings which I would really like to know more about. (Just my thought tho)

I see why she didn’t get her own main series POV and agree with you. But I do think it would be really interesting to see her get a Winglet maybe? Probably set in the past before the first arc (or at least starting then). That way we could get our Kinkajou POV book without it drastically affecting her immaculate development or the main plot too much. Maybe a joined POV Winglet with Tamarin. She’d be great for a Winglet too and I’d love to see more about her and Kinkajou’s friendship and how they met. That would be a treat!

That’s not what Kinkajou looks like… She is mainly neon yellow with bright pink accents, not bright pink with pale yellow accents…

[@silverleaf856]

I was thinking Kinkagou was going to get her own book, but I think her character arc is perfect the way it was made. If Tui were to make Kinkagou her own book, I'd probably become disinterested and wouldn't be satisfied with the way she changed. I also don't think Kinkagou is ready to grow and mature yet, and if there were to be a book about her sometime in the future, (which I highly doubt) I don't know what she would learn or how she would mature. Unless it would be a book about only her, Turtle, Moon, Qibli, Winter, Peril, and you get what a mean. What would the book even be about? And where's the rainwing characteristic of the flappy things behind the ear?

Where's Kinkajou's ruff? Still love the art anyway!!

[@sudesh.khatri]

Everyone is talking about their opinions and how amazing the art is while I’m in the corner wondering where the heck Kinkajou’s ruff is

[@FriendofOwls.and.Titans]

I love the video but... WHERE IS KINKAJOUS FRILLS?

[@VictoriaToucan]

I was shocked and dissapointed when Kinkajou didn't get her own book, but now I understand. Although in my opinion, she is STILL a main character, just not one with her own book.

[@MisseryJinx413]

Well, the simple answer. Tui said that kinkajou is basically a younger version of sunny… and since sunny already has a book, she decided against it. I haven’t watched the video- just wanted to drop what I wanted to say Rq.

[@jasminesherwood3297]

I know I’m a bit late, but I think that kinkajou would be the PerfecT dragon for a winglet to see into the night wing prisons, also love the video 💜

[@elemental1472]

Kinkajou wasn't given a book because with the story that was already going on and the things that would have needed to happen for her to have a POV book it would have messed up her character and the overall story and also probably resulting in the character development feeling unnatural. Good, makes perfect sense, and I totally understand that. But then we get to the end of the video. That's when I start understanding it less, to say the least. I should mention that I don't think Cyprus meant anything malicious out of any of this, nor with anything she does that I have a problem with. While she says that she loves Tui's writing, she seems to dis a ton of her POV characters, because they don't have constant character development throughout the entire series, going on to praise characters that do. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with that kind of writing, and it can totally lead to much more realistic character growth for certain characters. But notice how I sad can lead to, and certain characters. While not directly saying this, she definitely implies that you cannot have realistic character development unless you use this kind of writing. This is where I have a very big problem. So let me elaborate on what I said. Based on the characters' circumstances, based on the story, and based in the characters themselves, and of course based on what the writer wants to write, some characters can work much better with character arcs that go on a really long time, making them feel a lot more realistic. But this isn't true for all characters. I'm not a "professional writer", but just as much as I believe that too short of a character development can make characters feel unnatural, too long of a character development can also make characters feel unnatural. Some characters have personalities and circumstances and all the things I listed before, where it would just make sense for them to have shorter character developments that don't last for the entire series. I actually also think that if you have all characters developing in very long periods of time to make the character development more "realistic", then it can actually make them more unrealistic. Think about it. In real life, everyone isn't constantly having, as we're going to put it, "character development". When Fred goes to his friend Bob's house, him and Bob aren't going to have life changing epiphanies for the entire time they are hanging out. And when Fred goes home, he and his friend aren't going to continue to have life changing epiphanies the entire night, and the entire next day, and so on and so forth. I also definitely think that it would drastically decrease the quality of your work. Could you imagine reading a book or watching a show where literally everyone at all times is having character development. It would go from interesting and deep to just really annoying and really overwhelming. It would be like an earthquake happening all the time. And as I've already said before, it would completely suck the fun out of any sort of character writing if you're not only constantly trying to give everyone in your story character development, but also trying to make that character development long and "thought out" and "realistic". Imagine how stressful that would be and how funless that would be. And we all know what happens when writing becomes funless. When character development is rushed, it feels like someone is trying to make a snail run as fast as a cheetah. But when character development is too slow, it can feel like someone is trying to get a cheetah to run as fast as a snail. Both are unnatural and don't work. Eventually she seems to dis the entire concept of main characters as a whole, stating that side characters are often the most well developed characters, stating this as the reason that side characters are often peoples favorite characters. No, side characters are often people's favorite characters because there's only so many main characters. Not everything evolves around character development. People decide who their favorite characters are based on their own personal taste, and character development can 100% be a part of that. But, once again, while not directly saying it she heavily implies that the only factor that people bring into favorite characters is character development. Conclusion: I'm sure that Cyprus is an amazing person, but she definitely seems to have some problematic views on character writing. When it comes down to it, character writing is like a trail mix. You need to have a mixture of characters and character arcs, and while not entirely necessary, it is possible to make characters with no character development without them feeling like a cardboard cutout. In the end when it comes down to it, its all about the personalty of your characters.

A winglet for Kinkajou would be pretty cool it could be about her time captured by the nightwings, her dealing with anenome's enchantment or her saving the world from darkstalker

[@alcon.]

Honestly (spoilers for arc two) Kinkajou was really a major side character and I agree with you she didn’t need her own book. Her character was really developed through arc two and arc one! Also her not having her own book was a little made up for when she was the one who stopped darkstalker which was in my opinion a twist lol! But again like you said she would have been like a copy of sunny not completely but almost. So this is what I think!! This is just my opinion but I love your opinion on this topic!!
