Week 51! (Patreon)

As she says, this is the next in our series of relevant Randomly-Generated Characters, Dr. Jevesper, Kale's psychiatrist, introduced in comic 051.

Now, the first thing that probably pops into your head is "Jevesper? That's a really weird name." And it is! Because it's actually an anagram of my own last name, which is also weird. At the point of her creation, I had been in college for 2 years earning a degree in Psychology (a degree I have long since acquired), so to compliment the early focus on Kale's psychological problems, I invented a therapist for him to visit. At that point I was also not entirely free of the lack of real creativity that had plagued me in the Old Canon concerning names (with examples like Bruce's last name formerly being French for 'fox' and Ashley's Russian for 'cat'), hence, well, just putting in my own name basically for her name.

Her design here, unlike a few of the other characters in this series, isn't too terribly changed, just adding in some additional black stripes at the big lynx cheek tufts that Canada Lynxes seem to have. It's still not exactly accurate, but eh, this one's close enough compared to Ryan's completely-off old color scheme. There isn't especially anything else that relevant about her design, beyond maybe the little gold medallion that I gave her, because for some reason I like to put a gold necklace on a fair amount of female characters (Bianka from DATAROM!, Eve and Ashley at some points).

Due to Dr. Jevesper's more relevant role in the overall story, she did manage to make a more pronounced appearance after her initial appearance, bookending the bulk of Arc 9 where the whole thing between Max and Fox Kale goes down with Kale's hypnosis session. She's also referenced even later by Hugo concerning her recording of that session, so she got off a little better than the other neglected RGCs.

Dr. Jevesper probably was supposed to be a bit more prevalent between the times of her two appearances thus far, as Kale's mental disorders on their own have become less relevant and pronounced than the general mindscape and collective unconscious stuff that has grown since. Still, she made out better than some others in the series in terms of appearances and relevancy, and she's more likely to reappear than the other RGCs we've covered thus far due to being more involved in the main plot than most of them.
