@@Sawgrass-TML Respectfully, they have great personalities and differences between each other, and the writing for the stories is amazing. Just because she’s part of a different authors team, doesn’t mean she has to have the same writing style. In conclusion, everyone is different and has their own version on how to wright a good book.
@Sequoid exactly, like how Tsunami went from the ferocious to a little more careful, and Snowfall went from a cautious brat to a more understanding Queen
another point is is that she’s a well evolved character. so writing a book about her instead of Peril would (like Cyprus said) would just be repetitive. i would totally read a book about Kinkajou though.
At first, I thought that Kinksjou should have gotten her own book since she was part of the jade winglet but now I realize that she is probably better as a side character
@@natalienovak4462 Although she is a really important character and gets a lot of page time and is friends with the main characters, I consider her an important side character instead of a main character because she didn't get her own book but you can still consider her a main character if you want, I'm just telling you what I would consider a main character and an important side character :)
U r right, but she didn’t HAVE to change Kinkajou’s character. She can make her have a book, but still keep her silly personality and just have her think things like ‘oh, an evil dragon split open a mountain and is a mind reading animus who could possibly kill us all. Let’s have a tea party!’ You know?
Interesting! I figured she didn't need her own book too. Since she was first mentioned in book 3, she has a longer...lets just say.. HISTORY than the other dragonets in the Jade mountain winglet series. She didn't need a new book for herself to make it more interesting. In fact, I think it would have dulled the ability for Tui to make her a more interesting character; that was all revealed in book 3 anyway. Also, love the art work!💗💛
I do also but I feel like she should get a winglet book if she gets any book at all maybe like what happened before she met Glory or so we can learn more about the rainwings
I love Kinkajou's character and think she's absolutely perfect, and I'm fine with her not having her own book. BUT, it would be really fun to see her get, like, a winglet or something to show just a little, fun adventure of hers in the rainforest!
I mostly agree, although if she had gotten a pov book the development of her relationship with Turtle would have been just so cute... That I always will want
I think a winglet from Kinkajou or Tamerianin(?)'s pov would be amazing, showing us a more in-depth view of the RainWing tribe and how they became such good friends
I would've liked to see a kinkajou book, at least a winglet, titled "hidden secrets", a mixture of the book 3 and 4 titles, from her living in the rainforest, actually caring about the disappearances, to her being a disappearance, plotting to escape and eventually meeting glory, escaping, and coming home. Her POV during the royal challenges, her experience in her coma thing. I would like to see clearer her feelings, how she experienced things.
I will forever be sad that we never got a Kinkajou book considering that she is fighting with Turtle for my favorite character position. Whether she got that book in an arc 2, 3, or hypothetical 4 it's just something I would have loved to see. Personally I don't agree with the comparisons I see of her being basically Sunny. I understand the similarities but to me they are still different and unique characters. I enjoyed the video and thank you for talking about this topic lol it's one that I'm pretty passionate about.
I totally understand why kinkajou didn’t get a book, but I would really love a winglet on her time with the night wings, we see how she is when glory’s there, but just a short winglet on what she experienced would be fun to read
The simple answer isn't because she was alike sunny, but because tui liked where her character was. All the characters that we have seen have a POV book, go through some character progression, like peril, Turtle, etc. That's the simple answer.
Actually for me most of the time my favorite character is the main character of a series although there are a few instances in which this is the case. Wings of fire be one of them and that character being Darkstalker.
I have more to add, this is similar to some other comments but I would just like to add it... Another reason Tui didn't make a Kinkajou book is that in each book, the main character in the books, each character has a big character development all at once. And before, or after their book, they also had more. Although Kinkajou had some character development throughout the entire series, little by little. And Kinkajou also was perfect other than something here and there. She didn't need much character development. So therefore Tui didn't make a book for Kinkajou. Kinkajou was completely fine without one. P.s. I love your videos! Please keep it up! I love to hear new stuff, different opinions, and different ideas on stuff that I love! I hope What I said about Kinkajou has given a little more thought to why Tui didn't make a book for Kinkajou. Love you! ❤ -Alex❤❤❤
I seriously agree with you. Kinkajou definitely grew how she was supposed to, since she is still young! I think Tui did a right job of not giving her a book. But also in the art.. where's the ruff?
Technically, she wouldn't need to go through character change in order to have an interesting story, she could just have a constant character arc who's character could be similar to someone like that boy from the Iron Giant. Of course, that would probably require a second character which she would have to revolve around and judging from some fans reactions to Blue, I don't think with she is capable of doing that.
Another amazing vid Cyprus! I love the art and your explanation was well thought out and I agree. ( I also love the way you did the stars, I'm bad at spacing so when I add stars and stuff to my art I wind up feeling the need to make them perfect and everywhere.)
Tui May have thought it would’ve been repetitive, but Kinkajou isn’t actually an ordinary, happy, optimistic little kid. She is also a little confused towards NightWings. She isn’t quite sure how to feel about any of them. She’s been through a bunch, and it would be inspiring to hear about how she dealt with it and kept her perfect, happy but slightly cautious nature. Kinkajou’s book would maybe show how she felt a bit guilty about not always being there to help and fix problems. It would be funny to see her thoughts on Glory and how she’s her idol. She felt slightly betrayed by the entire rainwing tribe and felt like nobody cared that she was kind napped, taken and tortured. Kinkajou felt as thought all the RainWings who she thought cared about her saw her as annoying and dumb. But Kinkajou is so unique and it’s like she always looks on the bright side, looking up to Glory and her book would show her always tying to be as good as Glory and making up for all the action and opportunities she missed. Trying to prove herself as much as she could, just like Sunny. She wanted to be there and help and be big and be someone everyone could look up to, just like she looked up to Glory, the best dragon in her life, and the best dragon the RainWings ever met. Kinkajou is a lot on the surface, but even more under all those colourful scales. Idk whether to apologize for this mess or be proud of this masterpiece.
Lovely art! and i think you explained why kinkajou didn't need her own book very well. I would still read it if one came out, but now i have an easy way to tell my friends why kinkajou doesn't need a book.
Kinkajou really should have gotten her own book, but her character was just perfect the way it was! Also, I noticed she doesn’t have an rainwing frill in the drawing :(
A winglet for Kinkajou would be pretty cool it could be about her time captured by the nightwings, her dealing with anenome's enchantment or her saving the world from darkstalker
Amazing art, amazing video. I used to think kinkajou should’ve gotten her own book, but now, it just doesn’t seem necessary. Plus in other books we get an idea of what she would think and do in a crisis. Also, you forgot the frill
Omg Cyprus I am somewhat on time at watching ur video! I love Kinkajou as a character and think it was best for her not to have her own book. In my opinion she's great as a pretty straight forward, cute character. If the Kinkajou fans bother Tui enough, maybe she'll she'll make a winglet about her life before the main series or what it was like on the nightwing volcano island. Also, your drawing of Kinkajou is adorable! I would suggest something for ur videos but, its not as interesting as you would think. Here's my suggestion: Dragonsheep made somewhat of a game where it was the Wings of Fire Hybrid challenge. I won't explain it rn because I'm lazy ( lol ) but you can definitely search it on yt and watch Dragonsheep's video on it. All my love and support, Eucalyptus the silk/leaf hybrid
I like your fanon more than this canon is what I will say regarding the entire series. I still generally favor Legend of Spyro fanfiction authors such as Dardarax and RiverStyxx to the writing from Wings of Fire, at least in terms of overall quality. I feel like all of the WoF books, especially the first arc, have significant pacing and character development issues to the point that there were several points in trying to read The Dragonet Prophecy at Barnes & Noble in 2013 before Wings of Fire became as popular as it is now where I had to simply put the book down because I could not tolerate how unlifelike the narrative felt. The amount of soul and personal expression you put into your fan content for this series is very inspiring though, and quite a beautiful thing. It is rare to find somebody in today's world who expresses themself through an online dragon persona almost more endearingly than most human beings can in their every day lives. Your contributions give this series a more lifelike dimension of appreciable personality than the books ever could for me. I will spare delivering a long-winded rant on WoF's attempt at a narrative at this time.
I love your work Cyprus and I did wish that she got a book but I realize that we got to see her a lot through Moons book Also it would be amazing if you could do a remake of the first poster you did. Plz!
If she DID have her own book, it could be outside the original series and be in the winglets series. She could have a book made about what happened to her before glory came to the rainforest, what happened to her at Jade mountain, and maybe even her growing up in the rainforest and how SHE felt about Glory becoming queen and all
If Kinkajou had a chance at a POV, I think it would be a Winglet about being held on the volcano. Just a little reminder about what she has gone through, so you remember that she’s not just a sweet face, like Sunny. She has a fierce side, and she’s intelligent, as shown at the end of book 10 with the whole strawberry thing.
i wanna see a kinkajou pov in arc 4, specifically as a teacher to the main cast, or at least a smaller book, just, a short little kinkajou pov at some point cause arc 4 was confirmed and i either want all new characters or kinkajou and peacemaker lmao, it could be fun
I think Kinkajou would fit much better as a winglet pov because those, although they relate to the plot in some way, are a lot more their own story than plot-driven main series books. I would honestly love to see a Kinkajou winglet just because I love her character so much.
Kinkajou didn’t become a protagonist for the same reasons I think Luna shouldn’t have been a protagonist. There’s little to no need for character growth. Throughout Books 11-14, Luna shows no signs of major flaws to work on. Her hatred of HiveWings could have potentially been one, but that theme was already covered in Sundew’s book and really didn’t need the be explored again by Book 15. She’s a great supporting character with the way she tries to get Blue to take a stand against the corrupt rules, but there’s really no need to change anything major about her. Most new themes in Book 15 about “still smiling on the outside” and “doubt in being a good hero” came completely out of nowhere and in no way line up with the way Luna behaved in the previous books. I really think Luna would’ve been better off as a supporting character instead of a protagonist just like Kinkajou was.
I actually was a little disappointed in not seeing a pov from Kinkajou but if there was a pov for her in arc 2 i feel like it would have messed with the arc and made it going from ‘suspensfull OMG whats gonna happen next’ to ‘yes everything is fine i love butterflies’ so i like Kinkajou as she is now. But, we could also have a kinkajou winglet, similar to Deathbringers more or less her childhood how she became the loveable kinkajou we all know and love today. But if Tui didn’t really have that ‘interesting childhood’ for Kinkajou then i totaly understand. Keeping her like this would have been way better then having her a serious dragon. Thanks for reading my comment all the way :D
6:49. Yes, I can say I would need at least 15 hands to count all my favorite characters that are side characters. My favorite character in the entire series is Mango, a rain wing mentioned once in book four on page 221. I don't even know why their my favorite character.
as much as I love kinkajou, she isn’t my favorite Rainwing. In my opinion, I really like mangrove. he is such a sweet dragon, and is so determined. although second place is definitely kinkajou, then Jambu,Tamarin, then Glory, then Orchid, then Grandeur, fruit bat, dazzling, exquisite (I think that’s how you spell her name) Magnificent, and coconut. in my opinion, I do like Magnificent, but I feel like there should have been a few more pages showing what she did after the contest. so that’s why she’s kinda low on the list. Edit: I know there was another Rainwing but I can’t remember her name!
I honestly think fatespeaker should have gotten a book. She’s a great character and they could build off of her trauma from the false DoD and being a big outcast in her tribe. Like maybe she just really bubbly and positive to sheild herself from her trauma. Like just her as a character not the entire star speaker ship because some people hate her just because of the starspeaker ship which is a shame.
Even if kinkajou didn’t get her own book she could get a winglet. That way she does HAVE a book but it’s not that important. A kinkajou winglet could be quite interesting it could be about her time on the nightwing island or about her time at jade mountain with turtle and her the new Mudwing in her winglet during the time of arc 3. Love the art Cyprus! I wait every Sunday for your art! I love kinkajou! Side note:You forgot kinkajou’s frills!
I see why she didn’t get her own main series POV and agree with you. But I do think it would be really interesting to see her get a Winglet maybe? Probably set in the past before the first arc (or at least starting then). That way we could get our Kinkajou POV book without it drastically affecting her immaculate development or the main plot too much. Maybe a joined POV Winglet with Tamarin. She’d be great for a Winglet too and I’d love to see more about her and Kinkajou’s friendship and how they met. That would be a treat!
the Rain Wings get hire by the Sky Wings as art work. one year later lots of Sky Wing royalty mysteriously disapeared. and Kinkajou is just fine as a side character that comes in to the story as a character with a happy side to her. and a convinent helper to the plot.
The reason why Kinkajou didn't get her own book is bc Tui stated that [yes she really did I believe] she has expressed herself enough in the other books that Tui didn't feel like she needed her own book. In book three Kinkajou literally talked the entire time Glory was awake in the caves [yeah, I get it she has been lonely for 18 days and no one to talk to but still🙃] She's also been introduced in book three, but we already know a lot about her than the others [Peril disagrees with me cause she was introduced in book one, and still got her own book😛] She's expressed herself with happiness and her speech in book three about how much she cared for other dragons. And please remember in book six when Moon was reading her mind... catastrophic! 🤗 🗨
while i still think it would be interesting to read from kinkajou's pov, i definitely understand why she didn't get one. besides, i loved Peril's book too and getting to know to her better.
I agree with all of your points, for sure. Plus, given that we had plenty of insight into her character via Moonwatcher's telepathy, we already had a pretty good idea of what goes on inside that poor head of hers. There's also something else that's rather interesting when it comes to Kinkajou, though. (SPOILERS BELOW! Going to leave a gap so that people who haven't finished the Jade Mountain Prophecy arc don't see ahead) . . . SPOILER WARNING: Though it can sorta be handwaved away as extremely fast learning, it's interesting that, through Kinkajou, the school itself can actually play a critical role in the plot--and not just in bringing the characters together. Before going to the school, Kinkajou couldn't really read. However, in the end, she wound up writing the spell (albeit with help) that locked away Darkstalker once and for all. It's kinda funny to think that the spell that locked away arguably the single most dangerous antagonist may be written with *the* worst handwriting to ever control animus magic. :P
I’m glad that she didn’t get her own book because then people would realize how smart she really is and people would have a feeling that she would be the one to come up with an idea to stop Darkstalker, but everyone thought she was dumb so she was the least expected to have stopped Darkstalker
I'm reading everyone's comment and all I can think is about HOW MUCH I want a winglet about her time on the nightwing island. That had to have been terrifying and traumatic, I love her bubbly and happy side but think about what could've gone on during her time there??
Quick idea that came to mind - what if kinkajou got a winglet? like how kinkajou was in the rainforest until she was kidnapped by nightwings, and what it was like there until glory came? :D
Kinkajou didn’t get her own book because Glory is already a female Rain Wing protagonist. There can only be two books with the same tribe, one mal and one female. If we were to get a new Rain Wing protagonist it’d have to be Male. Also because each book includes a character change Tui probably didn’t want to change her.
I’ve got a question. Why does Kinkajou not have a ruff and her eyes are supposed to be green? But I DO LOVE YOUR DESIGN of her. You are so awesome and deserve WAY MORE subs keep this UP!
Kinkajou should never get a main series book, but having a winglet about kinkajou (on the Nightwing island in book 3 for example) would almost sound good in my head. We would know how Nightwings really treated the Rainwings which I would really like to know more about. (Just my thought tho)
Also, note that Kinkajou was unconscious (thanks “Shapeshifter” ) for around 2 books: The end of Winter turning to the Beginning of Talons of Power. There isn’t much space to put her in before or after that. Kinkajou is awesome the way she is, and I think she’s good without her own book.
What I heard was that Tui thought Kinkajou was too perfect to change (since POV books are for character development) and so she gave Peril a book since she still had much more growing to do.
Kinkajou’s origin story… She hatched in the rainforest under a random egg, and carefully climbed out from under it. About a minute later, that egg hatched and out popped tamarin. She lived a mostly normal life, but soon tamarin started to go blind. Kinkajou tried to help her friend in anyway she can, helping tamarin memorize the village, try to help her go invisible, overall a great friend. A few years passed, then glory and her friends came and you know the rest
With the POV’s of book are reserved for fully developing characters, Kinkajou is developed enough in the second arc that she doesn’t really need a POV slot. Though there is a problem in the second arc and its story. While the individual stories are great, the overall narrative is not so much. The first arc does the overarching plot best with each books individual story building toward said plot with the last book being the one that focuses on it. The problem with the second arc is that the book that focuses on its plot is the fourth book, not the last. It would be possible to fix the overarching plot in a sense while keeping the individual stories, though there would be a few tweaks here and there. Though one may wonder how we may change the order with how tight the story is. Simple, order 1, 3, 5, 2, 4. We start with Moonwatcher but with Icicle not escaping. Which leads to the jade winglet joining Peril and Turtle sneaking out of jade mountain, pyrite joins them after the talons of peace ambush. Kinkajou is knocked into her coma by the flame cactus leading to Peril tuning away and Winter chasing after her. They have their fight, Turtle carches up to the two with the rest of the group healing Winter injuries revealing he’s an animus. We continue on till Darkstalker breaks free where we continue with Qibli. Darkstalker says sweet words to get the group on his side. We continue on to Jade mountain and have Qibli’s story with the addition of Pyrite being revealed to be Hailstorm. Continuing at the end of the battle with Icewings and Nightwings, Winter and Hailstorm are sent away with their family and without Foeslayer the group are captured by Darkstalker. Continuing with Winter, we have His story with the diamond trial continuing with him and Foeslayer rescuing the Jade winglet. They succeed in freeing them but are captured with Darkstalker enchanting Winter to be loyal to him, maybe even turned into another dragon. This leads into Turtle and the rest of the jade winglet abut before being rescued with Darkstalker sending away Anemone. Their broken free, going after Anemone. They stop her and go get Kinkajou healing her from her coma. The group go off to save Winter and Stop Darkstalker. The group are able to barely succeed, end story. Also Winter would have had a better crush on Kinkajou than Moonwatcher, change my mind.
I’m early! I love your style Cyprus it’s super cute! I agree that kinkajou shouldn’t have a book too but it would be cool if we had a book about her finding her parents (I did that in 4th grade) edit:I had a theory about books after arc 3 like povs duplicate so kinda start over clay trying to make jade mountain NoT a death place tsunami protecting her friends glory and deathbringer starflight living as a blind dragon and sunny and thorn visiting stonemover (jeez my longest comment)
I think Kinkajou is an amazing character, though I think it’s also fair that she didn’t get her own POV book. Hear me out, although Kinkajou is that one character that we all like and we wish we could all read about her thought processes and feelings, her personality is, as you said, already developed enough. I think another reason Tui left out Kinkajou’s POV, (I could be wrong) is so we can try to imagine what it would be like to be Kinkajou.
I would love a Kinkajou book. She is one of my favourites. But I also think she shouldn't have a book during an arc, it would require character development to happen and I lover her the way she is. I feel like if she were to get a book it would work better as a winglet? Although I have not read any of the winglets yet so take that with a grain of salt.
TUI explain this she said “she already thought that kinkajou had a lot of plot but she thought that it would be to much on kinkajou to give her, her own book.”
