I thought I would take this time to tell how much of my story came to be.
//NOTE: If you don't wish to have too much given away, I suggest you
refrain from reading to far ahead.//
Of course, it all started with one of the coolest games of all time,
StarFox 64. In all honesty, I never got the Original StarFox //SNES//,
though I wish I had. I may purchase it in the near future. However, I
received SF64 for Christmas last year and fell in love with the saga. A
saga of A fox and his father, a legacy of heroism, friendship, and love.
Who couldn't fall in love with it?

KATT:
When I first ran into Katt, I couldn't decide whether I liked her or hated
her. She kept getting in the way, but at the same time, it was apparent
that she had a good heart. If she would act a little more mature, she
would make an excellent commander. This does indeed happen. Some people
may notice that she acts a little differently than she does in the game.
This comes from maturity, as well as being married to Falco! ~lion laugh~ 

PERRIA AND CHAMILLE:
Ah, the two other characters created by yours truly. Long before I got the
net, I wrote a story about Katt Monroe and 2 others, Perria Gonzales and
Chamille Powalski. Yes it's true, Flia didn't come around until MUCH
later. Chamille's name is a dead giveaway to the fact that she is Leon's
sister. Her name is pronounced like the name CAMILLE, but I changed the
spelling to fit her species. For you see, Chamille plus Leon equals
Chameleon, which is their species. Perria's name was originally Perra
//spanish for dog//, but I figured that wouldn't be appropriate. Then I
changed it to Perdita, then realized that there was a certain Disney
dalmation by the same name. So, at the last minute, I renamed her Perria.

FLIA...WHY A LION?:
First of all, let me say I have an OBSESSION with Lions. This is for
several reasons, but the following are the main...er MANE reasons //I
know, bad pun// for this obsession: Lions, unlike other cats, are very
social, affectionate creatures. The lionesses do all the hunting //YEAH!
POWER TO THE WOMAN! ..sorry//. Lionshave a gentle strength about them,
which is something that I own as well. They can be rough and tough, or
sweet and loveable. They spend a good deal of time resting //That's ME!//
and only fight when provoked //That's me as well//. For these reasons, the
lion is most definitely my favorite animal.
FLIONESS? WHAT'S WITH THE NAME?:
Ah. This is where the "giving away" part begins. As I have shown you, Flia
is the daughter of a former prince. This prince was the heir to the throne
of Leonias. The Leols, which are a species of lion, once inhabited this
planet. Unlike regular Lylatian Lions, Leols have feathered wings that
emerge from their arms. This allows them to fly, manually. However, when
the Leols were allowed into Corneria, they swore to the president Khoran
that they would never reveal themselves to the public. This promise has
been upheld through the generations. Now, onto the name: Before Flia was
born, her mother, Leah deLeon, spotted a book called "The Flions". It was
a story about a race of winged lions that lived in some fantasy world.
Leah was fascinated by the book and its fictional //or not so fictional//
creatures. When Flia was born, her mother thought that she looked like a
cub in one of the pictures of the book. So she named her daughter Flioness
Regalia deLeon.

I am continuing from where I left off. I am now giving you some insight on
how many ideas of my story came to be.
ALTON:
Alton was, at first, an unnamed character whom I intended to put in my
story. He is mostly based on my boyfriend, who is known to many here as
EMPORER2. Some of the things occuring between Flia and Alton are based
slightly upon real-life happenings. However, it is only SLIGHTLY based
upon them. Happenings such as the mistletoe encounter never happened when
we first met. In fact, when I first met him, he chewed me out! ~lion
laugh~

ANDREW: 
Seeing as how no parent of Andrew Oikonny is mentioned, I figured his
parents MUST have been killed or captured by Andross. Andrew's constant
whiny attitude may just be one reason for this loss. However, in three
years, his whininess turns into pure rage. He allows this to happen with
his increase in power, and the intimidation that comes with it.

WOLF:
First of all, it is apparent that Wolf is NOT happy serving his former
wingman. I don't think anyone would be. His most inexperienced, childish,
whiny, and unskilled wingman now his RULER? Heck no! I personally wouldn't
be happy.
Wolf also has the desire to go back to Corneria, where he was born... but
fears the consequences of doing so. Especially since he is most likely
going to confront Katt.

KATT AND WOLF?:
No...I CAN'T give this one away... you'll have to find that out LATER!

LEON:
The brother of Chamille Powalski. He was perilized in StarWolf's last
battle on Venom, diagnosed to never be cured. However, he is determined to
get revenge on the StarFox team. We learn more about his plans later, but
he will never give up his urge to destroy StarFox and anyone having to do
with it.

BILL:
Despite Bill's urges to ignore Perria, and his finding her annoying, he
can't help but just barely be attracted to her. However, he remains
distant to her, until she can find a way to get to his heart when his
guard is down.

SLIPPY:
Slippy, as you all know, is hopelessly infatuated with Chamille. However,
hates his guts. Wouldn't YOU if you had some frog stalking you? Let alone
a frog with a high-pitched, girly voice? You can find his picture on her
dart board, I can tell ya that. However, in the end, all is well, and
Chamille realizes what is truly in Slip's heart.
