What would you add to Twokinds?

As for me, a mongoose Keidran, of course :wink:

I'm gonna assume you're new to the fandom. The tenth anniversary special chapter established that only canid and felid creatures can have Keidran counterparts.

As for me, and likely a number of fans, I'd like to see the sketch character Willow appearing in comic.
Maeve is so cute, they're thinking of renaming the Pokémon Ability known as Cute Charm, so it becomes "Maeve Charm."

Yes.
I am half-way through the archive.
BTW, why is it called "Twokinds"? Why not "Fourkinds" (Human, Keidran, Basitin and dragon)?

Ah, I can answer this one. Originally, way back when Tom first started the comic and switched Flora from Housecat to Tiger Keidran, there were supposed to be two main species: Human, and Keidran. Kieth was originally supposed to be one of the last of his kind, and that was going to be a pretty major plot line. That idea was later scrapped, though. Obviously.

But I agree, I'd love to see a Willow appear in-comic, although I think I'd rather see a panther, with jet-black fur, or maybe an African Wild Dog. Intricate fur patterns are awesome.

It may also have to do with the scrapped version known as "The HalfKind," as the main character of that version was secretly a hybrid of the TWO KINDS of people in their world, something Tom seems to have adapted into Trace and Flora's kid.

The good news is that while Willow may not make a canon appearance in comic, Tom is 100% working on her side comic origin story. It includes so far at least: Adria's sister Amelia, Windstraw the cat clan bar assistant, Willow, Willow's dead friend Maya the lioness, and Willow's fallen dragon Mother.

Wow. What a family affair.
What would a character whose grandparents were a human, a Basitin, a Keidran and a dragon look like? :)

I'd add Keidran using magic without crystals and them having longer lives. And other mythical species like dwarves, elves, and such like.

For that matter, at least in our world foxes, canines (wolves/dogs), felinae (generally-small cats, the cougar being the exception), and panthera (generally-large cats, leopards being the smallest) are genetically incompatible groups and thus separate kinds.

(Also there are several genetically-incompatible subgroups of foxes, and I'm not sure where snow leopards fit in as they are sort of an in-between species.)

Different genera would probably be non-interfertile.
BTW, speaking of snow leopards, when I first saw Adira I had to google her name and 'twokinds' to find out what she was!

Coincidentally, I started reading other webcomics with my favorite TV Tropes and came across another lady snow leopard!

A West Basitin member of the cast might be interesting, especially to contrast with Keith.

A Keidran Underground Railroad would be a good basis for some stories, too. Maybe as a sidestory or a fanfic.

The biggest question would be how human should elves and dwarves be? Goblins would certainly be fun to have in this world.

Comics with lady snow leopards are around. My favorite is Pirta, from "The Whiteboard":

One of my favorite comics. Knowing something about paintball, Monty Python, and Alaska helps.
