==Author's Commentary - 'Cause Dragonclaws is just that pretentious==
*So, yeah, it should be clear by now that the parents are lesbians. I did this because of the significant lack of gay characters in Halo. At the time of writing it, I had not read Halo: Evolutions, and my motives can be explained by the article He Was My Lover. To elaborate, when we were making CD as a machinima, we had numerous rewrites of the script, which was one of the reasons it never panned out. One thing that gave us pause was that the (male) actors kept bringing their girlfriends onto the project, and we didn't have many female characters. I decided to write the story outline with several main female characters, thus coming with the character I now call Dr. Simone Lee. Originally, she was to have a husband named Michael, which would be a minor character there for comic relief. Now that I'm in the comic/graphic novel medium, I don't have to worry about actors, and I can make anyone female or male. Well, the characters, anyway. :)
*Man, I need to get more accounts with unlocked armor...
*Minister Lisaw 'Alpod was originally called Lisah 'Ileal. He turned into 'Alpod when I wrote a separate character named 'Alpod and then merged the two. His first name changed slightly to make it more clear how it's supposed to be pronounced (It's not "Lisa", gorramit).
*'Alpod was initially going to be gold to fit the Sangheili colors of the Heretics, but I decided to make his green as a show of support for the humans and to leave the nationalistic colors to the Defense Force.
*There's a City Slickers reference here. "Lord, we give you Curly. Try not to piss him off." Like with "See you next Wednesday", it's something that popped in my head while writing this because Dad and I like referencing that movie. In fact, most of my crazy pop culture references can be attributed to Dad and I playing games about referencing obscure material.
