History Characters / KevinAndKellLindesfarnesPeers

* AttackTheTail: Vin's tail [[https://kevinandkell.com/2002/kk0516.html was cut off by a teppanyaki chef]] during a Herd Thinners business dinner with Corrie.

* StrangledByTheRedString: In-universe example. While Lindesfarne didn't know that Angelique had set up a betrothal for her until after she was engaged with Fenton, Quinn's parents arranged their--and his--entire lives around Lindesfarne eventually being his wife. For them, it was essentially a racket for Quinn, Lindesfarne, their eventual children--and eventually, even Lindesfarne's stepmother, Kell--to protect them. By the time they finally met, Quinn was sick to death of it, and wanted just as much to break the betrothal as she did.

'''Rachel:''' (''[[JustForPun sheepishly]]'') Just this minute, actually.

* BlackSheep: His status in regards to his flock. Fittingly, this led to him being the sole survivor when Frank harvested the rest of the flock.

Fenton's mother. Occasionally gets grief for her species, which she kept secret until right before Fenton and Lindesfarne's wedding, when Lindesfarne found out. She eventually became Kell's executive sevretary at Herd Thinners, initially leaving with everyone else and keeping the same position at Dewclaw's Fine Meats as Kell's executive secretary. She would return to Herd Thinners as part of DFW's acquisition of a stake in Herd Thinners as an executive for their fake meat operations.

Lindesfarne's husband (boyfriend for the first several years of the strip), and head of technical matters at [=HareLink=]

Characters who are friends and peers of Lindesfarne Dewclaw. As of 2015, they have largely left Beige University (or elsewhere) and entered the workforce, and begun pairing off and starting families. As such, this also includes their children.

* HandsOffParenting: Tree doesn't seem to give much heed to her children. She only began to remotely care when one of Lindesfarne's friends moved into a tree that turned out to be one of her offspring. She didn't care that the other trees surrounding it were clear-cut (regardless of whether they were all her children or not), and seemed only mildly impressed that one of her children that wasn't [[MyBelovedSmother literally under her shadow]] [[https://kevinandkell.com/2014/kk0501.html grew to be as big as her.]]

A tree that was made self-aware by the Great Bird Conspiracy's intelligence ray, inadvertently when Nigel Aura shot Ray with it. It was bought by Fenton when it was threatened for logging. Fenton and Lindesfarne now live there. It also hosts Hare-Link's server farm. It identifies as female and even has a boyfriend in the tree across the street.

* AmbiguousGender: Tree recognizes as female. As a tree, it carries both sexes. And this has occasionally been lampshaded. The maple tree across the street is her boyfriend.

* AmbiguousGender: Tree recognizes as female. As a tree, it carries both sexes. And this has occasionally been lampshaded.

* AmbiguousGender: Canadian Geese are revealed not to use gendered pronouns since they don't have sexual dimorphism. However, Onk was revealed at hatching to be male. Honk was revealed to be male [[https://kevinandkell.com/2019/kk0524.html in a later storyline]] involving them.

A member of the Caliban Academy hunting team, later Lindesfarne's roommate in college. Now works at Dewclaw's Fine Meats. She was in a relationship with Edgar, but dumped him after he wanted her to hunt for him one too many times. Married to Quinn.

* DisappearedDad/MissingMom: Vin's family situation was never discussed before he lost his tail in 2002. At that point, Rudy mentioned his mother, [[https://kevinandkell.com/2002/kk0526.html later named Gladys Burrows,]] [[https://kevinandkell.com/2002/kk0517.html died when he was young,]] though he was being raised by his ''step''father. It was at this point Lindesfarne discovered that [[https://kevinandkell.com/2002/kk0519.html he was the result of an extramarital affair]] of Rudy's dead father, Randy Foxglove.

* DisappearedDad: Vin's family situation was never discussed before it was found out [[https://kevinandkell.com/2002/kk0519.html he was the result of an extramarital affair]] of Rudy's dead father, Randy Foxglove. The only thing known of his mother is that her name is/was Gladys Burrows. The only time she's been seen is [[https://kevinandkell.com/2002/kk0526.html the only known Dewclaw family tree,]] which was released immediately after the relationship between Rudy and Vin was revealed.

!!The Canadian Geese family

* BigBrotherInstinct: Onk was very excited when Ack's egg was laid, and has been involved in her hatching and upbringing.
* ComicBookTime: In terms of the gestation of Onk's half-sister, this is averted. In the OTL, Canadian geese take 24-32 days to hatch from laying. Her egg was laid on January 20, 2022, and she hatched on February 19 (30 days).

* ToyShip: Turvy and Onk very quickly became friends, and a FlashForward showed them potentially getting married someday. This was lampshaded in their first meeting, when Turvy [[https://kevinandkell.com/2018/kk0913.html actually took hatchling Onk for a flight]] [[CallBack in a very familiar fashion]].
-->'''Fenton:''' (''to Lindesfarne'') That's weird. Turvy never actually saw us doing that...
* TheUnpronounceable:
** [[https://kevinandkell.com/2018/kk0920.html Onk's native name]] is Onk! Honk-Honk! Honnnnk-Ny-Nk! Honk!
--->'''Lindesfarne:''' How about "Onk" for short?\\
'''Honk:''' [[FeeFiFauxPas That's our word for "stomach gas emitted in flight"]] [[AvertedTrope but]] [[SureLetsGoWithThat sure, let's go with that]].
** [[https://kevinandkell.com/2022/kk0401.html Ack's native name,]] while not yet certainly noted, is said to be similarly unpronounceable.

* LoveMakesYouDumb: Twice inverted. When he was hit with the GBC Imtelligence Ray, he developed feelings for Lindesfarne. After Y2K, [[https://kevinandkell.com/2000/kk0124.html he actually became a bit smarter naturally]] after genuinely falling in love with Tammy.

* LoveMakesYouDumb: Inverted. [[https://kevinandkell.com/2000/kk0124.html He actually became a bit smarter]] after genuinely falling in love with Tammy.

!!'''Turvy Fuscus''' (Bat/Hedgehog)
Lindesfarne and Fenton's daughter. Born in August 2017, a couple weeks early (but healthy) due to an issue at the summer camps.

* AllGenesAreCodominant: Despite Lindesfarne's prior concerns that her kids might end up human, Turvy was born as a bat with hedgehog spines.
* BigDamnHeroes: Turvy has grown into this:
** [[https://kevinandkell.com/2018/kk0917.html She once spiked a snake]] to save Onk from being eaten.
** [[https://www.kevinandkell.com/2023/kk0623.html And she once spiked a barn owl]] that had swiped Delphi.
* ButWeUsedACondom: Her conception was unplanned, and was the result of a condom failure. Beyond the initial shock, her gestation was treated as the right time for her parents.
* CheerfulChild: She's an adorable little bathog and it shows.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: Unlike Aunt Coney and her friends, she started out this way. For example, when an owl attacked, whereas Coney, Wendell, or Tyler likely would have kicked its ass, Turvy was just terrified, and wanted her mother. But over time, she has become more adventurous, [[https://kevinandkell.com/2022/kk1216.html going on a rogue flight to find out why Santa used reindeer instead of bats in the Christmas 2022 season]] (ca. age four).
* CuteMute: While dialogue is not shown, Lindesfarne and Fenton have both said in the comic that, at age 3, Turvy ''does'' speak, it's just at a frequency higher than most other creatures can hear. [[https://kevinandkell.com/2021/kk0620.html Her speech has only been visible once.]]
** It's been implied from March 2022 that Turvy can now more comfortably speak in audible frequencies [[https://kevinandkell.com/2022/kk0320.html thanks to coaching from Fenton.]]
* DiurnalNocturnalAnimal: As she turned five, Turvy [[https://kevinandkell.com/2023/kk0527.html began to develop a desire to be crepuscular]] so she wouldn't have to choose between her diurnal and nocturnal friends.
* FromTheMouthsOfBabes:
** According to Fenton's thought bubbles, [[https://kevinandkell.com/2022/kk0223.html Kevin does not want to know what Turvy calls him as grandpa.]]
** Rudy was given pause when [[https://kevinandkell.com/2023/kk0601.html Turvy first referred to Fiona as Aunt Fiona]] even though they weren't even engaged (yet).

!!'''Desdemona Fuscus''' (Vampire Bat)
Fenton's mother. Occasionally gets grief for her species, which she kept secret until right before Fenton and Lindesfarne's wedding, when Lindesfarne found out. She eventually became Kell's executive sevretary at Herd Thinners, initially leaving with everyone else and keeping the same position at Dewclaw's Fine Meats as Kell's executive secretary. She would return to Herd Thinners as part of DFW's acquisition of a stake in Herd Thinners as an executive for their fake meat operations.

!!'''Angstrom Flambeau''' (Moth/Firefly)

Tammy and Ray's son. His light is even brighter than his father's.

----
* {{Retcon}}: Due to the fleeting appearances of Tammy and Ray, Angstrom's development has been extremely inconsistent. Despite [[https://kevinandkell.com/2002/kk0428.html hatching]] and [[https://kevinandkell.com/2002/kk0918.html pupating]] in 2002, his original moth wings were never shown for a very long time, and were eventually retconned so he was [[https://kevinandkell.com/2017/kk0124.html more like a full-blooded firefly]] [[https://kevinandkell.com/2017/kk0125.html like his dad]]. This was done with no in-canon explanation. In 2022, [[https://kevinandkell.com/2022/kk0424.html he was shown to be closer to Turvy's friends]] even though he was born before Francis, which should logically put him in Coney's circle of friends.
