After awhile I started to hate this page X_X! It took longer than I thought it would...
About Akeli > Yes, that is her. No, she is not "me" in this story. Akeli is her own character - she'd be pretty boring if I just made her a self-insert character. She will do things and say things in this comic that I would never do - and some things that I would. All characters are a piece of ourselves, of course, but they tend to run away from us, creating themselves.
EDIT > Oh, and she's not a princess You find out more why she is tied up and fancy later.
OH, and I wanted to put a shout out here to who does the memory-type scenes way better than I could do. Riana, my inspiration! XD (Along with various anime flashbacks)
EDIT> Another shout out to ! Who helped me with the perspective.

this comic is absolutely wonderful. they storyline is great along with the characters. (and the art ) but what species is Akeli? is she a clouded and snow leopard mix?
