Word of Tom: Regional Fairies
From Gunnerkrigg Court Wiki
Word of Tom regarding Regional Fairies.
[edit] General Info
[edit] Did the fairies go by names before they came to the school?
The ones that go to the school didn't, no. [1]
[edit] Now that they have arrived at the court, do the the fairies have names? Or are their names just Red, Blue, etc.?
It is unknown at this point. [2]
[edit] Is Gunnerkrigg court and the forest both in phayrighie region 4?
A part of the forest is. [3]
[edit] How do phayrighies and their clothing differ from region to region as your region 6 phayrighies have vastly differing clothing to the suicide phayrighies?
Their clothing changes depending on what they find laying around to make their clothes. The region 6 fairies have all the trash of a city available to make clothes. [4]
[edit] Are phayrighies born with the dots on their arms or are they tattooed (or something similar) on at an early age?
They are born with their dots. [5]
[edit] Do faerie regions differ vastly in size, and is there a normalish size for them?
They differ in size but are usually very small at any given time. [6]
[edit] Was the turquoise haired suicide faerie born with the head dots or are they cosmetic additions?
A lot of the fairies are born with different markings and hair ornaments. [7]
[edit] Is it required that the faeries' region be identifiable by looking at them, as the only faerie I can remember having covered shoulders had dots on the clothing there?
One's region markings must be visible at all times. It is usually highly unfashionable to cover one's shoulders but even a fairy with bad taste must show what region they are from. [8]
[edit] I saw one particularly beautiful drawing of a faerie... I believe it said something like 'Region 6 faerie'. Have you worked out a fully detailed concept of faerie communities, and are you thinking of a 'standalone' faerie comic?
Yeah, I have several characters that make up Region 6. You can see two of them on this page. Ogee is the one with blonde hair, and Polo is the one with pink hair. There are a few others that make up Region 6 and I had a few stories for them in mind. Another thing I might come back to in the future. They won't in gunnerkrigg Court though, since Region 6 is in a city (the same city Zimmy came from). [9]
[edit] Red and Blue
[edit] What are the names of the two phayrighies we met in chapter 8?
They did not say. [10]
[edit] How old are the suicide fairies?
If you mean Red and Blue and them other ones, they are the same age as Annie and Kat. They are in the same year. [11]
[edit] Is Red's accent based on some real-life accent, or is it something you made up?
I just made it up, bearing in mind the type of education the fairies have. [12]
