Side Sketch Characters

The additional, more or less daily produced, Twokinds artwork has played a large part in the world building of Mekkan. The "side sketches", as they are sometimes referred to, are not confirmed as canon but many are considered to be. Artwork featuring the explanations for past events on main comic characters, as well as others featuring areas far away from the events of the main comic make up the majority of these canon-considered sources. However, it is important to note that many of the side sketches are just for fun and aren't canon to the main comic in any way.

Throughout the side sketches a variety of new characters have been introduced, many of which have the possibility of existing, but haven't been involved in the plot. All characters featured in the side sketches that have a considerable possibility of existing, or to have existed, within the main comic and The Dragon Masquerade side comic are featured on this page. Some characters on this page would have to exist for some characters in the main comic to exist, mainly unnamed parents, but the way in which they are portrayed within the side sketches is not considered completely canon. Characters with little credibility to exist in canon, yet have been depicted in the Twokinds world during the side sketches, have not been included.

Karen and Maren's Father
Not much is known about Karen and Maren's Father, beside that the actions of his Keidran servant Tanlen resulted in their his death at some point prior to the current events of the comic. Karen and Maren's Father is inferred about in the Main Comic but never directly spoken about; likely due to the opening of old wounds. As Maren took over the Tavern upon being orphaned, unlike her father her mother has never been mentioned at all, though since Karen and Maren are considered orphans that would imply she passed away at some point.

The death of Karen and Maren's Father likely occurred within the four years prior to the current events of the comic if Maren and the Edinmire Girl are one and the same. However, he may have died earlier if their mother was still alive for a period after his death. The effect of her father's death is apparent in Maren, she is "emotional one minute, distant the next". These effects appear more negligible on Karen, who, on the other hand, appears to be friendly to people of all people, regardless of race. Her happier attitude also an indicates that she may have either forgiven Tanlen for his actions, her father's death occurred when she was young enough to not remember, or both.

Eric and Roderick's Parents
Referd to as Eric and Roderick's Parents on this Wiki and Eric's Father and Eric's Mother individually by this Wiki are relatively unknown. Nothing much is known about Eric and Roderick's Parents. Eric's Father has made no physical appearance but was likely a Human and Eric's Mother made a small cameo in the Side Sketch titled "Young Kathrin and Eric" but here face was obscured off panel. Besides the previously mentioned information the only other time they are referred to is in Mike and Evals Character Reference Sheet, stated as being the original owners of the slave duo. Eric's parents are never mentioned in the Main Comic but are confirmed deceased. They were the owners and possibly founders of the Vaughan Trading Company, a small family merchant business specialising in many forms of cargo as well as presumably Keidran slaves. They owned several slaves before they passed, those being Mike and Evals as mentioned as well as Kathrin, however she was treated more as a pet as she grew up and remained that way doing less arduous tasks than her fellow slaves.

The personality of Eric's Father is unknown as he is never seen and only mentioned by brief reference, Eric's Mother who is seen at one point appeared to be very strict and angry when she caught a young Eric playing with Kathrin. The fate of Eric's parents is confirmed, the two of them are deceased, though the circumstances of their deaths is unclear. The relationship between Roderick and his parents is never spoken about but Roderick mentioned being the owner of Kathrin it one point, suggesting that his parents may have trusted the slaves to him originally though he may have been referring to his better right of ownership due to being the older brother while their parents were still alive. The possibility also exists that because of Roderick's actually inherited the Vaughan Trading Company first but his involvement with the Templar meant he had little time to own slaves or run his family's company so that may have been the cause for Eric becoming the owner of such instead.

Erilas
Erilas is presumably one of Evals' older sisters in the canon of the main comics however she has only been featured twice in non-canon Side Sketches talking to Mike at one point and Eric Vaughan at another. Her fur is a combination of various browns, ranging from cream for her coat and a light brown for her hair; with very pronounced purple eyes. Erilas wears a buttoned white long-sleeve shirt under a grey corset accompanied with a black ruff; along with white stockings, a dark skirt, and glasses.

As mentioned above she has been featured in the non-canon Side Sketches twice. In her first appearance she is shown talking to Mike, she states, after the implication that she was in heat at the time, that she takes great pride in being a "civilized canine", but isn't above teasing Mike either, suggesting that if he came with them, "it might test my resolve". In her second appearance having a conversation with Eric, depicting them first meeting, Eric attempts to flirt with Erilas, only for her to bring up that he enslaved her younger brother. Eric jokes that a date would be out of the question, and Erilas remarks that it wouldn't happen if she where in heat and he was the last man alive. Her current whereabouts in the Main Comics are unknown but she is the only member of Evals' family to be portrayed in a current day age, this contrasts the younger memory versions of his other relatives seen. If she is alive in the present day and her existence is canon it is possible she is still living in Dog Keidran territory with the rest of Evals' family.

Flora's Mom
Flora 's Mom is mentioned in, but does not appear within the main comics. She only appears within the non-canon Side Sketches twice. In both appearances she is seen with Trace and Flora in hypothetical meetings. Flora's mom may be alive within the main comics, as we don't know which "family" Sythe was referring to when he told Flora that Trace killed them, but her canon appearance or personality has never been seen, nor has she been mentioned any further, so although her mother's fate is never strictly mentioned it can be inferred that she has been deceased in the canon Main Comics for quite some time. Her appearances in the side sketches only reflect a hypothetical version of her. Like most Tiger Keidran, she is covered in orange and white fur with black stripes. In the side sketches, she wears a long dress with fur-like rims around the waist and neck. Also around her neck is a necklace of large stones.

Her personality is shown through both of her appearances in the Side Sketches. In her first appearance when is portrayed as a bit of a "gold digger", seeing the economic potential in Trace's engagement to her daughter. During her second appearance in the sketches she is shown staring eagerly at Trace while a thought bubble shows her thinking about his status in the Templar and his large amounts of money. She is also shown to be quite flirty, in another sketch depicting her first meeting with Trace she teased Flora about him, only to turn and whisper to Trace that it doesn't have to be teasing if he wanted it to be, suggesting if she were still around she may have found Trace attractive herself.

As mentioned above the current status of Flora's Mom is unknown however it has been inferred on a least one occasion she, in whatever canon form she existed, has been deceased for quite a long time.

Amelia
Amelia is not mentioned by name within the main comic, but is referred to along with her business, the Riftwall West Tavern, during Chapter 18 by Adira. Amelia is the sister of Adria Riftwall, but it isn't clear who the older sibling is between the two. Not much is known about Amelia due to her very few appearances, even the side sketches. Whether Amelia's last name is still Riftwall too is not known, since it's possible she may have married since her sister last saw her.

Madelyn Adelaide's Father
Madelyn's Father trying to sneak out after a night with King Adelaide Madelyn Adelaide 's Father, or Madelyn's Father for short, is a side sketch exclusive character that makes a total of three appearances in separate sketches. The existence of Madelyn's father is obviously real, otherwise she would have not been born, but the depictions of her father in the sketches, unless corroborating information is introduced in the comic, are non-canon, even if someone who was Madelyn's father would have had to exist. His whereabouts in the main comics is unknown and he is never mentioned. He is depicted with a typical Eastern Basitin shade of brown fur, specifically a darker shade when being compared to King Adelaide's lighter fur. His most notable feature is his small size for a Basitin, a trait which was passed on to his daughter. A common theme with his appearances is the lack of his full face ever being shown, he is either depicted from behind or the image is slightly cut off before his eyes, the image shown here is the closest shot of him in his entirety.

In terms of personality not much is known about him other than he is quite a determined individual, climbing to the top of the Eastern Basitin Castle's tallest tower to meet King Adelaide properly, a feat that impressed her initially due to his small stature. If we were to assume these three side sketches are canon, the extent of the relationship he had with King Adelaide, Madelyn's mother, is unknown besides the following information. In the first sketch ever to show Madelyn's Father takes place during the Basitin Coronation Tournament, wherein Basitin fight it out to determine the next King by means of pure strength including hand-to-hand fighting. At one point the soon-to-be King Adelaide and Madelyn's Father took part in a sparing match against one another and exchanged some flirty taunts before their fight began. It should be noted that despite his small size being a key feature Madelyn's Father still took place in the Coronation Tournament and even faced Jade Adelaide, who was the largest Basitin on the island, further showing his determined nature. Madelyn's father was so determined to see King Jade Adelaide again, that he climbed the tower in order to meet again. The two may have slept together the night that he climbed up the Castle Tower, and if not, they did at some later time. Whether or not this was the only instance the two slept together is unknown, but, if so, it can be assumed Madelyn was conceived that night. In canon, due to the long time skip of 16-17 years between Madelyn's conception and the current events of the comic, whether or not he is alive, and his current whereabouts are left a mystery. If he is still alive somewhere within the main comic universe he is likely in his 40s-50s as he appeared to be around the same age as King Adelaide.

Laura's Sister
While at the Basitin Islands, Laura has said she had a sister who gave her a drink that made her sleep with another Keidran. This is likely because her unnamed sister wanted Keith for herself, as shown.
