== Unknown Trivia ==
This trivia is only known by the author, and contains unknown character info, writing trivia, and alternative story paths
* Chase was supposed to live
* Lydia was not Terran's daughter
* Adrienne and Shilo were not friends
* The Blake twins were hybrids
* Kat was the first established death 
* Pharah was an assailant 
* Children of The Shadows was supposed to take place a couple months after Mirror World
*Shilo’s character was written following anti social personality disorder qualifications using the DSM-5. Shilo does not have an official diagnosis, and the author did not want to label the disorder on Shilo due to not wanting to inaccurately label the disorder
*Chase’s character was also written following borderline personality disorder qualities using the DSM-5. It is heavily implied Chase does have Borderline personality disorder after being hospitalized and diagnosed with a mental disorder. The author does not state if Chase has the disorder due to not wanting to inaccurately write a character with such a commonly misunderstood disorder. This was due to not wanting to offend anyone and not spread misconceptions about the disorder
*Kieran is also written following BPD qualities and again is not labeled with the disorder 
*Adrienne also was written following the DSM-5 Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It is also implied she struggles with trichatellamania (a hair pulling compulsion associated with OCD). Again the series implies she has the disorder but does not state if she does due to not wanting to inaccurately labeling a disorder on a character. However Adrienne does have trichatellamania, the author does state this in the series due to her real life struggle with it.
*Asher Ellington was written also following Bulimia Nervosa in the DSM-5. The author implies Asher has Bulimia in Asher, she struggled with body image and had possibly had an eating disorder growing up but never received a diagnosis. Asher again like other characters does not state if he has this eating disorder due to not wanting to inaccurately label a disorder on a character.
*Shilo, Kevin, Chase, and Delia all do have ADHD. It is mentioned these characters do have ADHD and can properly be labeled. Alex Black grew up struggling with ADHD since the age of 7. Using her own experiences with the disorder and again following the DSM-5 she was able to confirm that theses characters do have the disorder. 
*Shilo originally did not have a heart condition
*Enforcers are a genetic mutation 
*The series is heavily influenced off of The Hunger Games, Deathnote, Game of Thrones, Repo! The Genetic Rock Opera, Star Wars, and The Last of Us
*Some scenes are based off of dreams Alex Black had. Obsidian, when Shilo is attacked, Mirror World Shilo running away in the woods.
