[2242] Who is this person?

[arf]

Baby Yoda?

Actually, I'm interested in who the guy standing behind Annies and Smithy is.

Here's a link to the first appearance of Khepi of the Anwyn.

And here's an exposit in the main comic from Antimony about the Anwyn after Antimony returned to the Court after the firespike chapter.

Also there's a full infodump on the forest dudes from the wiki.

I've never been sure whether the 'Anwyn' is Khepi's immediate family, or the whole tribe.
As she appears to be the senior elder, it might be applicable to either (with minor grammatical qualifications)

She is at the least the head of the Anwyn (along with her husband) and an elder (whether she bears an actual title of elder or not). There's almost certainly more than one elder but it follows that Coyote wouldn't have placed Antimony with someone who didn't have enough clout to see that she was treated well, so Khepi is very probably one of the more important elders and by extension the Anwyn are at least a notable clan.

[edit] Khepi calls her kids "the rest of the Anwyn" so Anwyn is almost certainly just her immediate kin. [/edit]

I'd just like to call attention to the fact that the Annies are sitting with their feet tucked sideways under their bums, while Andrew has his feet pointed straight out behind him. Tom took the time to account for how Annie's hips and joint flexibility affect her sitting posture.

And yet, Andbrows looks comparatively tiny, while he should be a full head taller than the Annies

... Look again. Andrew *is* half a head taller, even without his longshanks.

As for kneeling style, Khepi's showing them how it's done.

[migrantworker]

Ooh, time for some diplomacy! I was hoping for something like this to happen.

"Tony" was my first reaction, but the hairstyle does not match. "Tony with a new hairstyle" seems unlikely, seeing how it has not changed for a very long time. I suspect this is a new character - perhaps some Court official responsible for the logistics of supplying the elves or, which would be much more interesting storywise, an 'advisor' imposed upon Annies by the Court.

...but we did meet a person with a very similar hairstyle before. And that person was on friendly terms with somebody who went on to inhabit their body for a while, and who can shapeshift at will. Could that somebody be able to create a likeness of the matching hairstyle person's body?

His torso is longer and his knees are projecting a bit further forward than Annies', so he's definitely drawn taller, it's just not obvious in this position, from this perspective.

I'm curious, if the Twins will have different chemistry with the Anwyn, like they do with Tony. We call Courtnie Courtnie, but she should have the same memories of the Forest.

People are calling Andrew short; personally I think AnnieC looks taller than AnnieF.

Also, not that it matters but I think I can safely state that my earlier prediction turned out to be true:

I like the grey-green contrast on this page. It is almost as if the Court deliberately painted their tents the same not-color they appear to have in the Ether.

Of course, she is half a year older. And Andrew mostly looks short when standing next to his huge girlfriend.

It would be hilarious if Khepi said something like, "so, what's the deal with your friend and that Spanish girl?" like the Court was a soap opera. But nah, probably not.

I wish I could make a "Hey, it's That Guy" joke, but it definitely isn't. I don't think the chin matches Tony, either.

Looks like mama ain't happy.
