Legend of the Hare, Page 9 (Patreon)

Oh hey, it's everyone's favorite character who barely appears in the comic.

As mentioned, Jill was supposed to be the "real" version of a hero Blade Bunny's protagonist kept getting mistaken for, so Amaya was intended to be the "real" version of Bunny's sidekick Kyoto. Kyoto in the original Blade Bunny was a little, um, "problematic". 

As you might expect from a Japanese character named "Kyoto". Sort of as a result of this, Amaya's never-actually-in-the-comic backstory is that she actually grew up in Iowa, doesn't speak a word of Japanese, and doesn't particularly care about what country her great-grandfather immigrated from., She was chosen as the Dragon Champion only to discover the Dragons were all irritating weirdos who wanted her to be more like in the animes, which is why she hung out with the rabbits. There really isn't anything to do with that backstory, though, and it never ended up coming up. Probably for the best. Her ethnicity isn't even alluded to in the comic and I don't actually think Amaya is even a Japanese given name. I got it off a baby name web site but those all suck and you shouldn't use them even for writing.  

Kaimay's little "Your tears are so pretty" is great, though. Why did I stop writing her as a little creepy, there was a lot more to mine from that idea then I ended up using. Ah well.
