[[https://kevinandkell.com/2005/kk0725.html He hired her back the next summer,]] but only after Kell convinced him to contract company vehicle maintenance to Aby's shop.

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: In the beginning of 2010, Lindesfarne's quills started turning white because of the stress of possibly having to leave Tree after she married Fenton and graduated from Beige U. A flood swept through Domain not long after, overwhelming Tree's root system. They used flood insurance to move Tree to more stable ground near Beige U, permitting her to do post-grad research without leaving Tree behind. Lindesfarne's quills soon regained their natural black color.

Misuse of The Maiden Name Debate. That trope is about a woman who is unsure about changing her surname before marriage.


* TheMaidenNameDebate: When they married, Kevin took Kell's last name. At the time, he was estranged from his family, and him marrying a wolf pretty much solidified that, though they have since come around. Kell also adopted Lindesfarne, and she took the name as well, even keeping the name after marrying Fenton.

New trope for women keeping their maiden names for their career.


* TheMaidenNameDebate: Kept her last name after marrying Fenton. The generally accepted hand-wave is that she was already a published researcher at that point. She did give Fenton's last name to Turvy, though. (It should also be noted she took Kell's last name, along with Kevin, when they got married, implying that Kell adopted her as her stepdaughter.)
