Q&A #10- Misfit Mansion Random Questions
Q: In Misfit Mansion I saw that Kel gains a fish tail when he goes to sleep in his pool of water, so how does that work?
A: When Kelpies get wet/ go into water, their legs turn into fish tails!
Q: How long have Agnes, Kel, and Dahlia been at the house?
A: I think Agnes was fairly young when she was found, so she was probably around 7? I’ve always thought Agnes was the first of the three main characters to arrive, while Kel arrived a little later, after Iris. That’s why Agnes took on an older sister role with them. Dahlia’s been there a bit longer than all three of them.
Q: At the time of the first book, how many horrors are living in the house?
A: Maybe a little under 100. More move in before the second book!
Q: Is there a third book planned, or is it just gonna be the two?
A: There’s only two planned. I do have an idea for a third one, but that’s up to the publisher!
Q: What would the Misfit Mansion cast’s favorite Pokemon be?
A:
Q&A #7 - Misfit Mansion Dreamon Lore
Q: What was Larkspur up to between the year of him leaving the house and returning at the end of Misfit Mansion?
A: I think he just kind of roamed around on his own contemplating life. Did he want to come back after what happened? Ultimately, he decided to give it another shot (and surviving in the wild sucked). I think deep down Larkspur wants to be a part of the family but is still angry about the past. Misfit Mansion 2 will explore these feelings more.
Q: Could a dreamon’s color palette change from the blue shades to something else if their dreamer thought of them as a different color?
A: I’ve thought about this before, and I kind of like the idea that dreamons are always some shade of blue regardless if their dreamer tries to imagine them differently. Some can be darker or lighter shades, including their hair.
Q: Why didn’t Iris become a monster during the first years of her life, when Mathias thought all horrors were monsters? Wouldn’t that turn her into one automatically? Or was it the fact that Mathias was unaware of her existence that made her have her appearance?
A: I think if Iris didn’t immediately leave she probably would have changed. I think for dreamons to turn into monsters, their dreamers have to specifically have those feelings towards them, not just for horrors in general, if that makes sense? Also I don’t really know how fearful of horrors Mathias actually was, or if a lot of it was just regurgitating stuff Anemone said, since he’d never really met one before.
Q: You mentioned that Iris and Mathias are the same height, but Larkspur and Mr. Halloway definitely aren’t (monster-Larkspur is definitely not the exact same height as Mr. Halloway), and Iris and Mathias seem to be the same age physically but Larkspur and Halloway aren’t, so what is the correlation in height and age of dreamons and their dreamers?
A: I think this depends on how the dreamer initially imagines them! The ages get a little weird, because Iris is 11 in the first book like Mathias, but she technically has only existed for 3-ish years. Larkspur was a child when he first came into existence, and even though he’s been around for 20+ years, he’s still a teenager. Probably something to do with him being locked away during this time, it’s a little weird. BUT I can say that Larkspur and Iris’s origins are talked about more in Misfit Mansion 2, and also why their situations are a little different.
Q: What did Larkspur eat in the basement? If Halloway was feeding him, how did he get the food down there without breaking the seal?
A: He was fueled by anger and bugs (this is just a joke, since it isn’t something I really thought about, but I’m sure he got food!).
Q&A #6 - Dahlia Facts
Q: Where did Dahlia get that giant needle?
A: It's a mystery... but she probably just kept requesting one until Halloway somehow found a big enough needle. She makes all her art with it! I like to think she sticks it in her back when she's not using it.
Q: What kind of doll is Dahlia? Is she a wind up doll, stress doll, rag doll, or dancing doll?
A: She's like a Raggedy Ann doll, so a rag doll! I think she can probably swap her limbs if she wanted, and change out her yarn hair for other styles/colors.
Q: Does Dahlia play Poppy Playtime?
A: I guess if any of the characters would be willing to play/beat it, it would have to be Dahlia.
Q&A #3 - Misfit Mansion Side Characters
Q: What are the names of the vampire and the headless kid?
A: Victor and Willow! They didn't have many scenes in MM, but I think they're good friends.
Q: A small favor if you don't mind, I'd really been wondering who some of the unnamed Misfit Mansion characters were! (Snake girl, the fairy with the pink hair, the big dragon, the headless girl, the little vampire, and the 2 ghost kids!)
A: The Medusa character is Morgana, the fairy is Truffle, and the ghost girl is Charlotte. Not sure right now what the others are named, but I'll think more about it. Tysm!
Q: Can Morgana turn others into stone, and if she can, can she reverse it?
A: I think so, to both of these!
Q&A #2 - Misfit Mansion Character Ages & Heigths
Q: How old were the characters in Misfit Mansion?
A: Iris & Mathias - 11, Agnes- 12, Kel - 10, Dahlia - 12, Larkspur - 15.
Dreamon ages are a little weird. Iris has only existed for maybe 5 years and Larkspur has been around over 20 years, but these are their physical ages!
Q: Do the horror kids age out of the house? Could they be adopted by members of their own kind?
A: I don't think the residents there have to leave once they reach a certain age (some of the horrors in the house are actually pretty old/are adults!), but they can if they want. I see it as like a "come and go as you need, stay if you want" kind of situation!
Q: How old is everyone in Misfit Mansion 2?
A: The sequel takes place 2 years after the first book, so Iris is now 13, Agnes is 14, etc.!
Q: How tall are the characters?
A: Iris is probably 4'9, or just an average height of an 11-year-old. I haven't thought too much about the others, but Iris and Mathias are always the same height.
Q&A #1 - Iris Facts
Q: Is it possible for Iris to change her appearance based on how she perceives herself?
A: Good question! I think there's a lot to explore about how dreamons work... and it’s definitely going to be a plot point for MM2!
Q: Does Iris have a favorite food? Also, do dreamons usually have large appetites?
A: I think Iris likes to try a bunch of different foods, but she's definitely a fan of any type of snack food. Dreamon appetites are pretty similar to humans! Though Iris has eaten paper in the past…
Q: When Iris dances, does her tail accidentally hit others around her? Can she use her tail as a spring to jump higher?
A: Probably, to both of these! Though I doubt she can jump too much higher.
Q: Why are the only two dreamons we know of (Iris and Larkspur) named after flowers? Why is the only other flower-named character Anemone?
A: Halloway named both Larkspur and Iris, so that’s why they are both flowers. I don’t remember why I gave Anemone that name LOL. Fun fact— I also didn’t realize Dahlia was a flower name, I just chose that one because it sounded like “doll.”
