12. What have you named Hector's

animals in your mind?

The bearcats' names are "Good Quirin" and "Good Adira". The rhino is Edmund Jr. 😌

For real tho, this is so embarrassing- b/c for as much as I've brainrotted about Hector, I don't really have concrete headcanon names for them?? Whenever I'm chatting with friends, they're always just 'the bearcats' or 'the girls'.

That said, I tend to think Hector wouldn't actually be the most creative or poetic when it comes to naming his animals? I think he would name them more simply, almost like a kid names a pet, based on their qualities and wanting something that sounds warrior-like. I kind of like Shade for the bearcat with a slightly darker pelt, and Fang for the one with a snaggletooth? Alternatively, Talon, Dagger, Spear, Shadow, Smoke, Ash, Thorn, Briar- that kind of vibe.

I could def see names from mythology or astronomy paired with the HC that Adira, Edmund, or Quirin (anyone well-read) helped name them! Or maybe foodie names if he asked Adira for ideas? She dubs the rhino 'Cupcake' or 'Bonbon' to annoy him and it sticks- imagining one of the Corona chars asking his (the rhino's) name and Hector just groans lmao
