Bowki- bringer of smiles

Posts : 499 Join date : 2015-03-26 Age : 33

Bowki was the son of Serrin, Dart and Talmah. He was one of few who could bring a smile to Dart's face after the Sun Village/Go-Back war.

He really touched my heart in the short few pages we saw him.

Were Strongbow and Moonshade in wrapstuff during Bowki's short life? They don't seem to acknowledge that he ever existed, which is a shame.

Yeah. Bowki was born, lived and probably also died, during the Long Sleep.

I see this "forgotten child" has some fans who care, Trollbabe who give him more life in art and story. Actually those "hidden ones" can be a gift for fans. They can become "their" characters.

Bowki was born and died during the long wait. Whether Strongbow and Moonshade don't think much of a grandchild they never knew - or whether Moonshde has a spiritual tea party with him every Sunday from 3pm to 5 pm - I don't care a lot. So much is supposed to happen "off screen" in the FQ and is left to fan imagination.
I wonder about something else ... Most of the time he lived during that time period. And he is a descendant of Rainsong - he should have recognized, shouldn't he? And his offspring(s) should have, too. I want to know if there are living offsprings - I want them to be there.

*eyes Shashen from NB#25* He could be Bowki's son. Or grandson. Yup. *me can make up my own stories too* Wink

I honestly thought they don't bring him up was because he's partly a Sun villager...
Who's Shashen?

They don't bring up ... What? Typo? Something missing? I don't get it ...

Yes, I know things needn't always be connected. ^^ But it's fun to speculate and play at times.

"Bow-ki" is an interesting name. He might have been named "bow" for his Wolfrider heritage (like Dart, Lance, Pike, Cutter.) Maybe "ki" is an Elf word.

I think it's from Geoki, Dart's old friend.
And of course Trueflight - Strongbow - Dart - Bowki.

Naaah... I don't think either Silver or Shashen are Bowki. However, Shashen - the brownhaired one - could very well be a descendant.

Bow - a name in the tradition of this family. Good observation, Trollbabe. An ending to honor his human friend Geo-ki ... nice touch, Redhead. I can easily make this my head canon.

And - I see the author now: scratch

"How to name this new bow-kid?" XD

Ummmh... nobody talked about Shashan being Bowki. I've speculated about Shashen being Bowiki's son ... grandson ... or great***grandson (considering him being called cubling by Windstone).

Also, isn't it pretty much stated that Shashen was named in honour of Shushen?

I never thought of the "ki" in Bowki could come from Geoki. That is very sweet.
