Since the Panther Queen herself is in Other and this guy is not actually a character in "Gargoyles" should he be moved to the Other category, along with various peoples' aliases? - Vaevictis Asmadi
- The Panther Queen is included in "Other" because she is an animal (or a were), rather than a human. Notice that Panther Queen is also included as a "Canon character", as are Oba and Louie. No real distinction has been made for characters that only appear in stories-within-the-story, although you may think that there should be.
- It's the old "species" problem for unusual characters, and yet more reason to create some sort of "Undetermined or unusual species" category. Actually, an "Animal" category might be a good idea also, e.g. for Gilly and Cagney.
- And since you've raised this point about aliases, it might be worth creating a new category specifically for them. The problem then arises: where is the dividing line between an alias and a real character? Owen and Puck are probably distinct enough to be separate characters. What about Dominique Destine? -- Supermorff 02:46, 7 March 2007 (CST)
