@Snowstripe: I admit I neither read ‘Game of Thrones’ nor watched the series, so there is no connection except for the name; however, I did hear about it and looked up some info on it, and that might’ve been where the name ‘Sandor’ stuck to me. It just popped up when I was thinking of a name for Cregga’s brother, and I liked the sound of it, so it’s not too far-fetched to say that I might have unintentionally ‘borrowed’ it. ;) Though keep in mind that ‘Sandor’ is also a real life name, even if not very common.

@Segalia: Yes, it’s my intention to make entries for all the suggested characters. I’m glad you liked their family dynamic; it’s true that the family was broken very early in the story, so I tried to give an insight into their lives before it. Hmm, you know, until you mentioned both Cregga and Sandor preferring Tejon, I didn’t think of their family relationship in that way, but I would say that yes, it appears so. Still, it’s right that they were close nonetheless – Cregga loved her mother, she just was more comfortable near her father, and since I imagine Sandor to be calmer personality-wise, he probably spent a lot of time with Carinna as well. True that, in books it were said that many badgers feel drawn to Salamandastron, so I wanted to view Tejon’s choices through that perspective. ;)
