5	[[caption-width-right:350:adult Hesta, as designed by Terrie Smith]]
6	[floatboxright:
7	'''Age:''' 29 (at issue 8), 53 (final arc)\
8	'''Height:''' 5 ft. 5 in./1.98 cm\
9	'''Date of Birth''': A.K. 1732\
10	'''Race''': Hoplite (White Siberian Tigress)]
11	Liska's best friend and one of the few females on her tribe who is ''not'' a member of her RoyalHarem. Hesta was a Hoplite white tigress who originally worked as both a trader and wandering warrior, who originally helped the Highland people on dealing with the slave raiders who threatened their land. She later moved to the Highlands in a permanent basis years after [[spoiler:Rial's death]], becoming into a sort of mentor for the young warriors in the tribe, due to her strength and sheer size.
12	----
13	* AbusiveParents: Her biological mother, after her father died, mistreated both her and her sister Radwin under the excuse she didn't took care of her step-siblings, and after an accident caused by those abusive kids, she kicked both girls form their house.
14	* ArtEvolution: At least in Shawntae Howard and Terrie Smith's versions of her, Hesta looked like a very big, slim tabby cat at first rather than a tiger. Starting with the ''Ceremonies'' sub-arc, however, she nows looks like a proper tiger, [[HeroicBuild complete with her correct proportions]].
15	* ArtisticLicenseBiology: By WordOfGod, she is a White Siberian Tigress, and her species is handled as a different tiger breed or subspecies compared with regular tigers, such as Tyjer, for a good example. In RealLife, white tigers are considered as mutations byproduct of inbreeding, and they mostly exist in captivity, since white tigers cannot easily survive in the wild due to the color of their fur. Obviously enough, this is not a problem for an anthro tigress like Hesta, or her kind, being sentient humanoid beings.
16	* TheBigGirl: She is the tallest and the strongest of the Highland warriors, able to dwarf even Liska in size. Justified, as she is a Hoplite, through Hesta herself admits that she is of average size for the standards of her people.
17	* BlackComedy: Hesta is quite notorious for having a quite dark sense of humor and she is not above doing jokes about death or violence, even if she doesn't intend to carry out the threat.
18	* BorderPatrol: Since Hesta was the tallest person in the village, this was mainly her main job in peaceful times, as she could easily intercept anyone trying to attack the tribe from any side.
19	* ConfirmedBachelor: Hesta never married with anyone else, despite being interested with the prince Tyjer, but due to to a mix of her having to live permanently with the Highland tribe, and the fact [[OutOfFocus the author decided to remove him from the cast in order to reduce its size]], she never tried to find love again.
20	* CoolBigSis: For both Liska, her senior, and many of the younger warriors in the village. This is despite her being younger than Liska when she met her for the first time at issue 8.
21	* DarkAndTroubledPast: This was the only thing that could damper Hesta's otherwise cheerful personality. She and her sister, named Radwin, [[DisappearedDad lost her father at younger age]], and her mother married with another man, who previously had female children from his previous marriage, and both girls had to take care of them, suffering lots of mistreatment from both her mother and her stepsiblings. As a result of an accident, when of her stepsibs falled inside a quarry, and Hesta tried to help him out, the latter slipped and she broke her arm, but since her stepsibs refused to help her, she had to crawl back from the quarry on her own and returned home. Once there, Radwin took her to a local healer to help her, but as a result of Radwin leaving the house, the food she was cooking at the time burned, which was the last straw for her mother, who decided to kick both sisters out of their home. Later on, both Hesta and Radwin became fur traders with the help of another man, a tiger named Pepper. Everything seemed to be going smoothly for both sisters until Hesta discovered that Pepper, [[spoiler:[[MayDecemberRomance who was older than both sisters]], was sleeping with Radwin]].
22	* DemotedToExtra: Somewhat; while she still plays an important role in Liska's life, especially when helping her behind the scenes more than one ocassion, her role as her friend and one of the biggest warrior got diminished beginning with the "Runt" sub-arc once that Quiet Bird appears and replace her in such role.
23	* {{Expy}}:
24	** In terms of personality and role, she is quite similar to Toki Zha, Erma Felna's best friend, from ''ComicBook/AlbedoErmaFelnaEDF'', except she is neither as horny as [[LovableSexManiac Toki]] is. Both girls are women from different species from the main protagonist [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction who doesn't have any problem with sleeping with people from different species than hers]], except that Hesta is not always looking for sex like her ''Albedo'' counterpart.
25	** While it could be a coincidence, she shares lots of point on common with Dogi from the ''VideoGame/{{Ys}}'' franchise, as both are warriors who befriend another one smaller than them (Adol for Dogi, and Liska for Hesta), both being [[GentleGiant very nice people for ther size]], and helping their protagonist friends in the direst situations in one way or another.
26	* {{Foil}}: At least this is was intended with her, as she was intented to be Liska's opposite in terms of personality, being a more optimistic and hopelessly romantic adventurer, over her Velite friend's more melancholic and borderline pessimistic self. Unfortunately, at the end of the story she ended up being underused and her role was reduced to be her basically her faithful follower.
27	* FriendlyAddressPrivileges: Inverted with Liska; Hesta originally called her by either her name or a friendly nick, like "little sister", but starting with the "Runt" sub-arc, she drops the informality with her, and she started calling her either "clan chief", since Hesta joined her clan, or [[spoiler:Tribe Chief at the last sub-arc]]. Also, she became more subservant to Liska beginning that arc.
28	* GeniusBruiser: She was the only character in the Highland tribe able to read, and she was quite savvy about the world surrounding her, to the grade she is also the only character in the comic with [[FlatEarthAtheist no supersticious or religious beliefs]]. This is justified, due to her former job as a trader.
29	* HeroicBuild: At least in the stories drawn by Shawntae Howard, Hesta is depicted to have quite a muscled body, possibly as a result of her Hoplite heritage.
30	* HospitalityForHeroes: Hesta didn't have problems on offer stuff to Liska and her family at lower prices, as she sold a ribbon to her daughter Thea at a very cheap price, due to her coming-of-age ceremony.
31	* HotSkittyOnWailordAction: Hesta had only had sex with two people in her life, one outright stated with Tyjer, who is a Sumatran Tiger, and another heavily implied one with Tovar, a [[RatMan Mousekin warrior]] from Chief Cor-mac-den's tribe, both in the "Beginnings and Endings" sub-arc.
32	* IronicName: Considering her name is a pormanteau from the Greek goddess Hestia, and her Roman equivalent Vesta, who both were the goddesses of home, house, and family in their respective mythologies, Hesta doesn't live by almost any of the quirks her mythological namesake had:
33	** Hesta was a single woman who never married, as far as we knew about her, through she managed to get her own clan later on, and that without going with her very terrible past [[AbusiveParents with her family before meeting Liska and the Highland tribe]].
34	** Her divine namesake was an ActualPacifist, while Hesta was one of the best warriors of the Highland tribe.
35	** The only things she had in common, in some degree, with her mythological counterparts is the fact she never married, through she had sex with Tyjer, and she was adored by almost everyone else in the tribe, a feat only shared with Liska, her senior.
36	* JustFriends: Hesta was the only adult female character (outside Mother Sanna, Wissa, and a few non-related females) which Liska is not romantically interested, and the feeling is mutuous, as their relation was more sister-like than anything related with romance or sex. It helps a lot Hesta already had another man she wanted to sleep with instead.
37	* MightyWhitey: For all practical effects, she is the equivalent in the ''Katmandu'' universe of a white woman, through the few we knew about her home culture seems to be a mishmash between a semi-barbarical, Greek-like setting with Native American trappings. Also overlaps with VisualPun: She is a literal mighty (due to her size and her species), white woman (in the sense she is a ''white'' tigress)
38	* NeckSnap: Due to her size, she could easily break the neck with her own hands on any bozo unlucky enough to try to face her head on.
39	* NiceGirl: Even nicer than Pyndan, the resident nice male of the cast, and there's very few things than could enrage her for real. Even when fighting, Hesta never lost her cool, except when talking about her past.
40	* NonSpecificallyForeign: Somewhat. We know that Hesta hails from the Hoplite lands, but, from what we see about the culture of that region in the comic, it's very clear is ''not'' a homogeneous one, as we see Hoplite cultures based in Greece,Rome, Egypt and Mongolia. In Hesta's case, hers is a mishmash between Native American, very likely [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puebloans Pueblo]], cultures with [[AncientGrome Greco-Roman elements shoehorned on it]], but she doesn't identify as either, since she was a wandering merchant before meeting the Highland tribe.
41	* OnlyOneName: As far as we know about her, her name is just "Hesta", being one of the few in-universe characters without a surname or clan name. A side-story gives her the last name "Touches-the-sky", due to her height, but this is not official, as it's used in that story as a nickname.
42	* PlugNPlayFriends: A rather egregious example: Hesta quickly joined the cast at issue 7, through she definitively joined the tribe in an official basis at issue 17 [[spoiler:as a replacement of the late Rial in hunting duties]] and she is quickly accepted, despite being both an outsider and also a Hoplite, [[FantasticRacism which many Velites had many problems with them in the story]]. It helps a lot Hesta is a very nice person at heart and she avoids every negative stereotype associated with her people.
43	* RankUp: In the final sub-arc it's later explained that Hesta became clan chief, through it's never explained who are the members of her clan. Oddly enough, she never married with anyone else, despite all the clan chiefs in the tribe were married, making her an oddity.
44	* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Her name is a pormanteau of both Hestia and her Roman counterpart Vesta, the goddess of the hearth. See IronicName above.
45	* TokenMinority: She is the only Hoplite feline living in the Highland tribe and the one of the few heroic one that appears so far in her own time period, along with Tyjer.
46	* UndyingLoyalty: To Liska and the Highland tribe.
47	* VagueAge: Subverted, her age is not stated in-universe, but the [[AllThereInTheManual Katmandu Handbook]] does instead.
48	----
49	!!Wissa Haslet-al-del (neé Dohnlohak)
50	[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kat_wissa.jpg]]
51	Another healer, and also the tribe's shaman. She doesn't have a big role in the main canon, but she had a bigger one in side-stories. The [[AllThereInTheManual Katmandu Handbook]] states she was also the sole daughter of the Seneschal, hence her role.
52	[floatboxright:
53	'''Age:''' 21 (at issue 4, through she doesn't appear on it), 37 (during "Ceremonies" sub-arc and in "Alternate Tales of Katmandu" continuity)\
54	'''Height:''' 5 ft. 6 in./1.70 cm\
55	'''Date of Birth''': A.K. 1727\
56	'''Race''': Velite (American shorthair cat)]
57	----
58	* {{Expy}}: She is basically a feline, alien and a Native American-looking version of ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'''s Shampoo.
59	* HeroOfAnotherStory: She was basically a side character with no explained backstory in canon to talk about, except in side-stories, when she plays a bigger role as a backup healer helping either Mother Sanna or Panka.
60	* HiddenDepths: Her past was quite a dark one for a basically a SatelliteCharacter, since her mother and her husband died years ago, something that haunted her for years.
61	* MindRape: In an almost literal way in her side-story ''A Crystal for Wissa'', when she tried to analyze the quartz crystal Matoo gave to Thea, the crystal itself had mystical powers that dwelved into her mind, causing her to bring back her most painful memories, including the deaths of her loved ones and also of her patients she treated in the past.
62	* OlderThanTheyLook: During her last canonical talking appearance she looked like a teenager, despite she was, according with the Katmandu Handbook, about 37, not to mention she was a widow.
63	* OutOfFocus: She dissapears from the plot starting with the "Beginnings and Endings" sub-arc, when she appears in a brief, non-talking role. She has a bigger role in "The Tomorrow Breed" continuity.
64	* WitchDoctor: Besides being a healer, she was also the resident tribal shaman.
65	----
66	!!Kebec Lo-ke-dan
67	[[quoteright:152:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kat_kebec_1.png]]
68	[floatboxright:
69	'''Age:''' 18 (at issue 4), 19 (issue 13)\
70	'''Height:''' Unknown\
71	'''Date of Birth''': A.K. 1730\
72	'''Race''': Velite (Turkish Angora cat)]
73	Kebec was one of the many girls living in the tribe alongside Liska before the latter became a warrior, and also was her biggest rival until that point, picking fights with her at the slightest opportunity. Her luck took a turn for the worst after two events: [[spoiler:Her elder sister-cousin Kayce was killed during the Hoplite raid and later on, she go into a fistfight with Shaygin after the former [[BerserkButton called Liska a slut in her face]], causing her to be expelled from the tribe]].
74	----
75	* AllThereInTheManual: According with WordOfGod, the reason why Kebec became so unhinged after [[spoiler:Kayce died was because she thought Liska should have been the one who should have died instead of her sister]].
76	* AlphaBitch: The Native American version. As a free woman, [[TheBully she used her position to abuse Liska in her slavery days]], and after the latter reached warrior status, she never accepted her new rank, on the grounds she was female and the fact the never did the manhood ceremony. [[spoiler:The last straw for her was picking a fight against Shaygin, Liska's wife, after queer-shaming her, spitting in the water Shaygin had for Liska, and also calling her wife a whore in her face, causing her to be expelled from the tribe]].
77	* DeadLittleSister: [[spoiler:Her sister Kayce was killed during the Hoplite raid]]. It didn't help her to gain any sympathy ''at all'', especially after she [[spoiler:got into a fistfight with Shaygin, causing her to be expelled from the tribe]].
78	* DefiantToTheEnd: A non-lethal variation of this trope: [[spoiler:Even knowing she would be severely punished for provoking and picking a fight against Shaygin, the wife of the soon-to-be warrior Liska, she still tried to convince Chief Pownetkee that Liska didn't deserved to be considered a warrior because she didn't the manhood ceremony required for that. As a retaliation for the last incident, and for trying to play hardball with him, she gets kicked out from the village as a result]].
79	* OddNameOut: She is one of the few characters having a legitimate Native American name, in this case she is likely named after the [[UsefulNotes/{{Quebec}} Francophone Canadian province of the same name]], which, at the same time was named after the Algonquin word meaning "narrow passage" or "strait". By sheer coincidence, or not, she also shares [[FrenchJerk some of the stereotypes associated with French-speaking people]].
80	* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: This trope is what end up dooming her for good: [[spoiler:She called out Shaygin's sexual orientation, and calling Liska, her wife, a "torn skirt", basically a slut]].
81	* SmallRoleBigImpact:
82	** Despite just appearing in just three issues worth of story, plus a brief, voiceless cameo in "The Hunt" sub-arc, she is very important for Liska's CharacterDevelopment since she gave Rial the idea about turning turning Liska into his [[SexSlave bed slave]] in order to [[YouNeedToGetLaid calm her down]], something that very probably unchained a lot of events that ended up affecting Liska's life for the rest of the story and her entire existence. Haven't Kebec giving that advice, Liska would had remained being a slave for the rest of her life, something lampshaded by her in issue #7.
83	** Also, and overlapping with UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom and ForWantOfANail at the same time at the large scale of the things, Kebec [[spoiler:picking a fight against Shaygin]] caused a snowball of events that affected not just her life, but also Liska's and at the very end of the story, it also affected [[spoiler:both the Highland tribe and even the story of the entire planet Katmandu]] as a whole: Had she not come to blows with [[spoiler:Shaygin]], Liska would never had the need to do a VisionQuest when Kebec questioned her warriorhood in front of both Chief Pownetkee and the Seneschal, forcing her to [[spoiler:[[SuicidalSadisticChoice ask the blessing pf the Goddess at the price of her own life]]]] afterwards, something that ended up happening at the final arc of the comic, when Liska [[spoiler:[[HeroicSacrifice sacrificed her own life in order to protect the tribe from Rakon and his own one]]]], an event that also was one of the many causes that triggered the Velite-Hoplite war that lasted 200 years until Leah's era, and she could never had being [[spoiler:[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking exiled as a result]] while having [[KarmaHoudini a peaceful life compared with her rival]]]].
84	** In short, she is basically responsible for [[spoiler:Liska's death, the near destruction of her tribe, and a fratricidal planet-wide war lasting over two centuries]], and all of these events happened ''just because she wanted to make Liska suffer by [[spoiler:attacking her wife]]''.
85	* YouCantGoHomeAgain: [[spoiler:She was expelled from the tribe after she got into a fistfight with Shaygin, now Liska's wife and now a free warrior]].
86	----
87	!!Kayce Men-tir-son
88	[[quoteright:177:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kat_kayce_1.png]]
89	[floatboxright:
90	'''Age:''' 19 (when she died)\
91	'''Height:''' Unknown\
92	'''Date of Birth''': A.K. 1729\
93	'''Date of Death''': A.K. 1748\
94	'''Race''': Velite (Abyssinian)]
95	Kebec's elder sister-cousin and Kasil's younger sister. We don't know much about her, other that she was as bitchy as her sister was regarding Liska, and [[spoiler:she was killed during the Hoplite raid]], through she was mentioned afterwards.
96	----
97	* BetaBitch: She is basically Kebec's second on trying to bully Liska, except she was neither as caustic as her. That doesn't stop her on being quite mean on her own.
98	* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Well, we don't know exactly what her fur color was, since she is one of the few canon characters without official color designs, but her fur was quite dark compared with her sister Kebec, heavingly implied her fur was darker brown, compared with Rial, but [[spoiler:she was the first canon character being killed on-screen]].
99	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: As much hated she was in and out-universe, [[spoiler:her death is one of the most violent ones shown on-screen]] only behind of the one shown at the very end of the story [[spoiler:when Liska also kicked the bucket in even more violent way]].
100	* DeadLittleSister: [[spoiler:She was this for Kebec]].
101	* InstantDeathBullet: Or more exactly in her case, [[spoiler:Instant Death Arrow, as she was killed by an arrow that passed through her heart]].
102	* TragicOneShotCharacter: Well, she does appear in two issues, [[spoiler:but she is offed in the second one, and her death really affects both Kebec and her brother Kasil. In the case of the former, it affects her enough to cause her to retaliate against Shaygin a few years later in order to spite Liska, and causing her to be exiled from the tribe]].
103	* WeHardlyKnewYe: She only appears in one single issue, and she dies in the next one, the only thing we knew about her is the fact that [[spoiler:she was Kebec's elder sister]]. This is particularly worse in the ''Katmandu Handbook'', since her entire role in the story is resumed ''in a single one-liner''.
104	----
105	!!Chief Pownetkee (neé Masha-ra-len)
106	[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kat_chief.png]]
107	[floatboxright:
108	'''Age:''' 40 (comic), 48 (Katmandu Handbook)\
109	'''Height:''' Unknown\
110	'''Date of Birth''': A.K. 1700\
111	'''Date of Death''': about A.K. 1785\
112	'''Race''': Velite (Grey Tabby cat)]
113	The chief of the Highland tribe and the highest authority on all matters regarding the tribe, with Mother Sanna and Liska following him in the chain of command. Most of his role in the comic is being the face of the tribe, especially in latter issues, when most of authority regarding warfare or policing are done by either Sanna or the warchiefs. He had a brother, who is also the chief of another neighboring tribe.
114	----
115	* BewareTheNiceOnes: While he was normally a nice person, he was ''not afraid'' to assert his authority if necessary, especially when he [[spoiler:expelled Kebec after she got into a fight with Shaygin, probably on the grounds she lifted a finger against the family of a warchief, in the case, Liska's]].
116	* CharacterDeath: He died off-screen due to old age at the very beginning of the final arc.
117	* DemotedToExtra: In latter issues, his role gets quite reduced, as most of his authority was done by either Sanna or Liska, and his role was being the face of the tribe; as he aged, Liska became the chief in all but name, until he finally died due to old age.
118	* {{Expy}}: As a result of the {{Animesque}} style used by the artist Ronzo Murphy at issue 33, he looks like a feline version of [[Franchise/DragonBall Master Roshi]], complete with white beard.
119	* LastNameBasis: We don't know which was his first name, as everyone called him by his last name instead.
120	* ThatManIsDead: Just like Liska, his original clan name was "Masha-ra-len", which was used by his younger son Gareth because he conceived him before Pownetkee became a warrior, and when he obtained warriorhood, his clan name was changed to his more well-known name, as a way to signalizing the man previously known as "Masha-ra-len" had died.
121	* SmokingIsCool: He was normally seen smoking at times, especially when he is not doing anything of worth.
122	* ThoseTwoGuys: With his Seneschal, as the latter was normally seen with him.
123	* YoungerThanTheyLook: According with the ''Wicked Ways'' sub-arc, Pownetkee was about 40 years old when Liska came to his tribe, despite looking older, which means he was about 58 by that time. [[spoiler:By the time Liska's replaced him, he was about 85 when he died]].
124	----
125	!!The Seneschal Dohnlohak
126	[[quoteright:254:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kat_seneschal.png]]
127	[floatboxright:
128	'''Age:''' 37 (at issue 4)\
129	'''Height:''' '''Height:''' 5 ft. 7 in./1.74 cm \
130	'''Date of Birth''': A.K. 1710\
131	'''Date of Death''': Unknown\
132	'''Race''': Velite (Tabby cat)]
133	Chief Pownetkee's right-hand man, the tribal shaman and personal majordomo. Though his backstory may not be explored in depth within the comic itself, [[AllThereInTheManual the Katmandu Handbook]] delves deeper into his past. Dohnlohak, it turns out, was the son of the previous tribe chief, also bearing the same surname. In addition, he is revealed to be the father of Wissa, a fact never explicitly mentioned within the comic's universe.
134	----
135	* NoNameGiven: We don't know what his real name was, as everyone calls him "Seneschal", and in the Terrie Smith's model sheets, he is named as such. [[AllThereInTheManual The Katmandu Handbook]] states that his last name is "Dohnlohak", who was also the one from his own father, the previous tribal chief.
136	* NonIndicativeName: When it comes to the [[WitchDoctor resident shaman of the tribe]], don't let his title fool you - he's ''not'' a seneschal. While it may seem like a strange choice for a title, it's likely that the author chose it as a way to sidestep any negative stereotypes associated with a shaman's role. Despite his small role in the story, he doesn't engage in any traditional shamanic practices. at least not on-screen.
137	* OlderThanTheyLook: Despite looking as younger as Rial, Pyndan and the rest of the tribe's males, not only he was in his later 30s, but he also had a daughter (Wissa) and he was also a widow.
138	* OutOfFocus: He disappears from the story since ''The Quest for Magic'' sub-arc, and it's heavily implied he died of old age later on.
139	* PrettyBoy: In both Terrie Smith and Shawntae Howard's designs, he is normally depicted as handsome as the rest of the males.
140	* SatelliteCharacter: All his interactions were with either Chief Pownetkee or any other more important characters. His backstory is explained [[AllThereInTheManual in the Katmandu Handbook]].
141	* ThoseTwoGuys: With Chief Pownetkee, being his senior.
142	----
143	!![[spoiler: Seneschal]] Wind Flower
144	[[quoteright:324:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kat_windflower_9.png]]
145	Appears during the "Not What It Seems" and "A Better Life" sub-arcs, Wind Flower is a Two spirit/Berdache, a male acting as a female, and also a seer able to see the future. He suddenly see visions about Rial's future that started to torment both him and also Liska. He is married with Bright Dawn, another fellow member of the Mitsel-eman clan.
146	----
147	* BackForTheFinale: He returns again in the final sub-arc; oddly enough, he didn't changed a lot, despite he was very likely about 30-40 years old at that time.
148	* DudeLooksLikeALady: At least when using female clothes, but when he took out his dress, he is more like a PrettyBoy instead.
149	* INeedToIronMyDog: When Thea and Mela, Liska's daughters, started to telling him about what their parents were doing in their intimacy, considering [[RightThroughTheWall how noisy they were]], and when their chat was becoming suddenly more explicit, he decided to quit it by using a clever excuse:
150	-->'''Wind Flower''': Ehhh-- Girls, do you know where I can get cool milk?
151	* MagicalQueer: Wind Flower is basically a crossdressing gay MagicalNativeAmerican-like shaman of sorts, through his sexual orientation is barely explored in-universe, except during his debut.
152	* RankUp: [[spoiler:He replaced the former Seneschal after the later likely died starting with the final arc]].
153	* {{Seers}}: Wind Flower is a rather powerful diviner able to see the future, and he quite predicted that [[spoiler:Rial will die sooner or later, through his predictions were quite vague]]. It should be noted Wind Flower appears many in Liska's stories told before [[spoiler:Rial's canonical demise, so at his point most readers should know what would be his fate anyway]].
154	* TransTribulations: Averted like hell, surprisingly enough: Despite making his debut on issue #26 at 2002, when the taboos against transgender persons were still strong, and the very semi-barbarical setting of the comic would have turned him into a very easy target for either transphobic jokes or other insensitive cracks from the whole cast, ''no one'' seems to mind about his sexual identity at all, other than an odd stereotype when people like him are seen as very powerful seers. In this case, this could be justified in-universe, because his husband Bright Dawn is considered lucky by the rest of the cast to have Wind Flower as his wife, and no one seem their relationship as a bad thing or even odd, and even more so considering Liska was bisexual herself.
155	* {{Uke}}: The bottom on his relationship with Bright Dawn.
156	* WholesomeCrossdresser: As mentioned above, Wind Flower, for all practical effects, was considered more a gay man dressed as a woman, rather than a true transgender person, through this is quite justified, as drugs or treatments for gender change didn't exist in his era.
157	----
158	!!Bright Dawn
159	[[quoteright:201:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kat_brightdawn.jpg]]
160	Wind Flower's husband and a fellow tribe member who wandered the world since three years ago before Liska became a clan chief and he returned back home with Wind Flower as his wife after [[NoodleIncident he married with him in an unexplained event]]. While he is mentioned after his debut in the "Not What It Seems" sub-arc, he doesn't appear physically anymore.
161	----
162	* RememberTheNewGuy: Bright Dawn was supposed to be an important character in the tribe who went into a travel across the world three years ago, but neither Liska nor the readers seems to previously see him before. Even more egregiously, he doesn't appear anymore after his debut, and he is only mentioned verbally since then.
163	* SatelliteCharacter: He only appears physically in the "Not What It Seems" sub-arc, in "The Tomorrow Breed" continuity, and in pin-up illustrations and all his interactions are with either Wind Flower, Liska or Mother Sanna in his own arc.
164	* {{Seme}}: The top of Wind Flower, as he won him under unexplained circunstances.
165	* StraightGay: Technically he was considered gay, as his wife, Wind Flower, was a cross-dressing man (see above for details), but he didn't had any gay mannerisms. Justified in his case, because he was the top in their relationship.
166	----
167	!!Willoam
168	A minor character which appear in the "Curse of the Blood" sub-arc. Willoam is a hybrid feline who was one of Panka's suitors, along Gareth. When Panka chosed the latter, Flint, the slaver who had a bone with Liska after she bought Shaygin and Elishaa at a loss for him, [[spoiler:took advantage of the situation in order to convince him to challenge Liska, the then-clan chief, to a DeathDuel, so he could marry Panka later on. He is later defeated in the duel after a bloody battle and then exiled by Liska as a punishment]].
169	----
170	* TheBigGuy: He was much bigger than the rest of the members of the tribe, excluding Hesta. Justified, as he was a hybrid.
171	* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: More than "The Loser is Always Wrong" here: Since the whole story runs on ProtagonistCenteredMorality geared on Liska, Willoam's only sin, besides working for Flint, was challenging [[spoiler:Liska to a DeathDuel, acting like a jerk, and losing, causing him to be exiled from the tribe. He actually didn't did anything villanous, at least on-screen, and the only reason he was hated by anyone else was because [[spoiler:he challenged Liska, the then clan-chief and the main protagonist, because Panka choose Gareth over him because she didn't like him, even if we never see him did anything bad on her on-screen, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking also because]] [[BeautyEqualGoodness he was ugly]]]], so he was doomed to be screwed at the end because the narrative said so. Granted, he was an unlikable jerk, but he challenged [[spoiler:her]] in a fair fight and [[spoiler:Liska was forced to fight him due to tribal laws]].
172	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He looks like a feline and Native American-like version of Creator/DannyTrejo.
173	* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Unlike the rest of the cast, excluding Mother Sanna and a few others, he is one of the few characters who doesn't have an {{Animesque}} design, and he had a more human-like face, who makes him look more creepy-looking than even other villains, excluding the Witch of the Woods.

175	!!Brocia
176	[[quoteright:172:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kat_brocia.jpg]]
177	A slave girl that Liska bought during the events of issue #5 in order to use her as a token to [[spoiler:buy back Rial from slavery]].
178	----
179	* BitCharacter: She is basically a plot device used by Liska in order to use her to [[spoiler:buy Rial from slavery]] and nothing else, as we don't even know nothing about her past or her background, other than being a slave.
180	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: According with both Shaygin and Mother Sanna, and also from what few we see about her, ''no one'' in the tribe likes her, to the grade that even [[ChivalrousPervert Markree]] doesn't want her for matrimony, partly because she had a very strong temper.
181	* LoveAtFirstSight: Luckily for her, she fell in love with Flint when Liska sold her to him. Unfortunately for her...
