Caldafox's Fanfics/Trivia

Trivia for all of Caldafox's fanfics.
=== TLK - Kopa and Vitani: Unexpected Love ===
* This is the first long fanfiction Caldafox has written in four years.
* A different version was originally published on this wiki, but the chapters (notably 1, 2, 8, 9, and 10) were edited severely to wipe out the old version.
* Although not technically born yet, Miya has a mention in the Epilogue.
* This marks the first appearance of all of Caldafox's original characters.
* The events take place one year after The Lion Guard finale, "Return to the Pride Lands."
* Vitani's physical appearance is the same as in The Lion King II, although this fanfiction is mostly a Lion Guard one.
** However, in some images for the fanfiction, Vitani's appearance resembles her's in TLG. This is because it is sometimes easier for Caldafox to draw, and there are more adult Vitani images in TLG for photo edits.
* This is the only appearance of the forbidden waterhole.
* Originally, the Epilogue stated that Spotty had two cubs. This was because a character named Kavu, her son, was not yet deleted when the chapter was written.
* Several of Caldafox's other fanfics are follow-ups for this story.
* A lot of previews are given in the Epilogue for content from unpublished fanfics.
=== The Lion Guard: The Quick and the Quiet ===
* This is Rogue and Afua's first appearances in the flesh.
* The original ending stated that Kasi was sad to see Rogue head off. But it was edited so she could be portrayed as more understanding.
* This is Malka's first mention.
=== The Lion King: Kopa's Tale ===
* This fanfiction had mostly copied and pasted text from the original published version on Commaful.com.
** However, the original story was drastically changed up, with Kopa and Asante no longer being lovers.
=== The Lion King: A Little Bit of Lovin' ===
* This is the first in-the-flesh appearances of Majuto and Nuka II.

* Sarabi is revealed to be the oldest lion in the pride in this fanfiction.
=== The Lion Guard: Baliyo's Admirers ===
* This fanfiction reveals Dotty and Zuri are annoyed at each other.
** This fanfiction also reveals Zuri was still sore about Kopa choosing Vitani "over" her.

* This is Caldafox's first take on canon happenings.
* This is her shortest fanfiction.
=== Kula and Chumvi's Story ===
* This is Zira's first appearance in the flesh.
* The fanfic was originally planned to be released after TamaXTojo, and would be shorter. However, it ended up being released first and was almost equally as long as TamaXTojo.
* Both Kula and Tama confess their love by stating they will go with their crushes when they leave their prides.
=== TamaXTojo: A Sweet Friend-Ship ===
* The title refers to Tama and Tojo starting off as friends, then being in love.
* This fanfiction was written several months after its inspiration.
=== The Lion Guard: A Kinder Reunion ===
* Originally, Ono, Fuli, Azaad, Bunga and Penda had planned appearances and mentions in this fanfiction. But they were left out for an odd reason.
** Because neither of them appeared, it can be assumed they were all hanging out together.
* Surak and Nirmala's "sweet smile", with Yun Mibu looking on, was inspired by this image of Kion and Rani smiling at each other, but flipped, with Yun Mibu in Baliyo's place, Nirmala in Rani's, and Surak in Kion's.
=== The Lion Guard: The Leopards' Vengeance ===
* This fanfic was written almost 6 months after it was thought of.
* "Vengeance" is misspelled as "Vengence" on the cover.
* A two-word sentence of Makucha's was taken out.
* This was Caldafox's first non-chapters fanfic that was written in two days, not one. 
** It was started on 4/26/23, then finished on 4/28/23, with a break on 4/27/23.
=== Kopa and Vitani's Wedding ===
* The cover for this fanfic was drawn several months before it was written.
* This is the second mention of Nirmala's supply chamber.
=== AfuaXSpotty: Love At First Sight ===

=== Vitani's Daughter ===
* This fanfic was initially planned to be released later, but it was decided on that it should be released in time for Mother's Day.
* This is Safiya's second speaking appearance.
=== Cheetah Love ===
* Along with Kopa and Vitani's Wedding and Vitani's Daughter, this is one of Caldafox's only fanfictions that wasn't announced on her user profile.
* This takes place only minutes after a canon happening, Kion and Rani's wedding at the end of TLG Return to the Pride Lands.
** In comparison, An Uncanny Resemblance happens during canon happenings.
* This fanfiction is the first to star Fuli and Azaad as protagonists.
* This fanfic was inspired when Caldafox watched ship moments of Fuli and Azaad on YouTube from Ronno 2023.
=== Nadim's Story ===
* This is Zazu's first appearance, as well as Nadim's first in the flesh.
* The moral is this: Never let anyone take advantage of your kindness.
=== The Lion Guard: Welcome Back to the Outlands ===
* This fanfic was written many months after it was thought of, possibly 7 or 8.
* This is Janja and Jasiri's first appearances in the flesh.
* More details about Asante and her life are given, in comparison to her other appearances.
* The title was originally "Welcome to the Outlands" because, in Caldafox's old published headcanon, Asante had not seen the Outlands for three years; thus, the title referred to her returning. The new title now refers to her coming back after three days of being gone, and then receiving a warm welcome back.
=== Freckled Beauty ===
* This fanfiction waited around 3 months to be written.
* It is Malka's biggest appearance, and one of the fanfictions with a fanmade character (Vashti) as the secondary protagonist.
* In comparison, Malka's son, Rogue, fell in love with his would-be mate at the Eastern border of the Pride Lands. Malka and Vashti mutually fell in love at one of the Pride Lands' borders as well, the Southern one.
* In the original concept, Malka would begin calling Vashti by her nicknames when their chemistry developed, but Caldafox ended up making the final version shorter then perceived, and the idea was dropped.
=== Seeing Old Friends ===
* This was one of Caldafox's older ideas.
* It was originally planned to be an episode, but ended up being an independent short story.
* It is implied in this fanfic that Spotty and Vitani played as cubs, while Digger and Dotty were probably young teenagers.
* Along with Penda sings and An Uncanny Resemblance, this is one of Caldafox's fanfics that doesn't have a specially made cover.
=== A Grandmother's Relief ===
* This fanfiction was never announced on Caldafox's user profile, but she had thought of it for a long time.
* Originally planned to be written around the time of The Grandmothers Farewell.
* The second fanfiction where Sarabi, one of Caldafox's favorite TLK characters, is the protagonist.
=== Unspoken Loyalty ===
* This fanfiction was not announced on Caldafox's user profile.
* The title refers to how Malka, Vashti and Afua all shared a specific loyalty to others, but never spoke of it (or showed it) until the moment of trial came.
* The second appearance of Vashti.
* Another fanfiction in which some of the events happen during a canon happening.
=== Swifty's Tale ===
* Written several months after its inspiration.
* The likely only appearance of Swifty's mother.
* The reunion between Simba and Swifty was inspired by their reunion in a comic by AudreyCosmo13, Missing Pieces.
=== The Suffering Family ===
* This was Caldafox's first fanfic written in over 3 months, nearly 4.
* The cover picture of Esther was made by Av.
* Caldafox's longest fanfiction besides TLK Kopa and Vitani, which was written in chapters.
* When Scar said ..."you'll never see the light of another day!" he was originally going to say something like "or you'll never see them until the afterlife!" 
** The word was eventually put in later on in the story, when Esther is threatened by Zira and considers the risk of being killed.
* The story was written in three days, instead of one like the rest of her fanfics besides TLK Kopa and Vitani and The Leopards Vengeance. It was written on 11/24-25/23 and 11/28/23, with a break for two days in between.
* The first and only appearances of Tish, Adea, Sofi and Bianca.
* Bianca was recently created and added into the story. Only Zira's deceased father was planned to be mentioned; the rest of her family was going to be unknown and unmentioned. But Caldafox recently decided with support from other Fanon users on Discord that Bianca should be added.
** Antisocial64 suggested bringing back a sister of Zira's, and Av suggested the name for Bianca.
** Caldafox originally had 3 sisters and a brother for Zira in her old headcanon, but deleted them all. With Bianca being created, this confirms that Zira had siblings in Caldafox's headcanon again.
* Zira's father is confirmed to be named Shaka.
* This fanfic covers in pretty descriptive detail depression, romantic passion and just how horrible Scar's reign really was.
* The first line Kula's mother has ever spoke since her debut fanfic.
* The fanfic ends with the line, "Waking up for Esther never felt so real." 
** This is inspired by the lyrics of a Skillet song, Comatose: "Waking up to You never felt so real."
** It is also based on Esther's depression: how every day was a blur, and how horrible her life was without her family. "Waking up for Esther never felt so real" refers to life being brightened again and given meaning once more with the return of her sons and mate.
* Since Mtoto and Dumaka ate mostly mice and birds during their childhood, they must have been very malnourished to the point of death when their father finally stepped in.
* Was written several months after announced on Caldafox's user profile.
=== The Lion King: Kheri's Guard ===
* The chapters of this story are remarkably short. Copied from a notebook, most or all are not much longer than Caldafox's shortest fanfic, An Uncanny Resemblance.
* The first appearance of all of Caldafox's "next gen" characters, other than Nuka II and Majuto, who previously appeared over a year ago in A Little Bit of Lovin'.
* Written over a year after the cover page was uploaded to Fandom.
=== DottyXKondo: I Still Love You ===
* Written a year or months after it was thought up.
* The title refers to Kondo telling Dotty "I still love you" - which she doubts.
* Revealed that Dotty suffers from depression.
* Spoilers given for future fanfiction.
* In a deleted scene, Dotty introduced her daughter to Simba and Nala. When Nala asked the cub's name, Dotty named her Majuto.
** Majuto's name means "regrets", symbolizing Dotty briefly regretting her romance with Kondo.
*In both stories where "The Spots" (Dotty & Spotty) fall in love, their names are in the title.
*It was first started one week, then a week long break took place before Caldafox finished it up in two or three other days.
=== His Golden Treasure ===
* Written many months or a year after it was announced.
* Not many things were changed from the original idea.
* Nala was pregnant with Kopa during the beginning of this fanfic, and she was busy taking care of her newborn son for the rest of the fanfic up to the ending.
* During the fishing scene, the body of water in which Ni and Goldie are hunting is stated to be a pond. However, the word riverbank is used to describe the shoreline.
* The story was written over 3-4 days, but from 2 weeks different weeks, with many weird breaks.
* Ni and Goldie's relationship age gap is probably equivalent to a 19yr old human falling in love with a 21yr old, but waiting a year before marriage.
* This quote from Goldie as she confesses her love to Ni is one of Caldafox's favorites from her fanfics:
** "Whenever I'm around you, I feel like nothing else in the world matters. It's not important if I get home on time, or if I miss a hunting trip. If I can make you laugh and smile, everything else has little meaning, because you're the most important thing in the world to me."
** Caldafox knows this feeling from experience, from both platonic affection or deep love for her family.
