This new addition of bunnykin being kept away from members of the opposite sex would mean all single-gender K-12 + 4yr. College schools like Lamptons would be very popular among bunnykin. Lamptons is a high-end school, but I can also imagine there being more economically affordable single-gender schools that are completely overrun by bunnykin. (Still, due to that, I think there ought to be more bunnykin in the school.) Their numbers likely decrease around the age where those mixers start happening, so dwindling Highschool population, but K-8th grade there's likely quite a few. (That other rival school that has strict no male contact rules is likely more popular with the bunnykin though.) Jemini (talk) 17:32, 15 March 2020 (CET)
Lamptons could potentially have a high population of Bunnykin from grades Pre-7. Around 13 is when most Bunnykin are considered emotionally mature by the highly sexual Bunnykin. Lamptons would probably have the Daughters of the wealthy men who had Bunnykin Mistresses.
The rival school is too magically centered and dark for Bunnykin, most of the faculty scare the timid race. That school also tends to be more human centric, Kin tend to be considered a slave race by it's faculty and Alumni, so an education for them would be looked at as a waste of resources for a child destined for a life on her back.
But yes there are probably a lot of Bunnykin children at Lamptons compared to other non-human races. I haven't put more in, as I'm trying to only add more characters, as the character development of the lore or stories call for it.
Feel free to add some if you feel like it, I'm sure Erica has sisters.
What would be really funny is if the highschool Health class was taught by a Bunnykin. --Telgar (talk) 18:06, 15 March 2020 (CET)
Just did an image search looking for good pictures to use for more Bunnykin students. Couldn't find any more that fit the fluffs' dark coloration family-type, guess she's the first of her family in the school then, but did consider what you said about having a Bunnykin for a health class teacher. Decided she would be a member of the staff in order to get all her daughters into the school.
Also, I found one that looked like she was probably older than 13, but it gave me an interesting idea. What do you think about having it that Maradith accepted a Bunnykin girl in and had her avoid the mixers and stay on school grounds after becoming older with the express purpose of gifting her to Jack once he graduates college? She would be exactly 4 years younger than him with the intention being that if Jack went on to an 8 year university, she would still be in the Lamptons' system until he graduated. Of course, due to the new circumstances, he can also get his gift early. (This can also explain why he isn't mobbed by all the bunnykin students. The bunnykin girls might have some kind of secret admirer club for Jack, with his future gift as it's figurehead, but the real purpose of the club is actually to instill a "look but don't engage" mind-set in them, sorta as a safety measure to avoid a potential issue with the bunnykin students and Jack.)

Oh it wouldn't be a problem for older Bunnykin girls to go to the school, just not as prolific as they don't have to be seperted anymore, as for Maredith getting Jack a Bunnykin before day, one not impossible but unlikely, as she didn't think all that much about Jack before then, he was a troublesome afterthought, most of her time and energy went to her career or Daughters. After day one, most definitely. --Telgar (talk) 19:25, 15 March 2020 (CET)
As for far haired bunnykin. I find a lot at Safebooru. The tails don't have to match perfect, just having dark hair should work well enough. https://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=2930488 https://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=2916299 https://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=2910196 --Telgar (talk) 19:27, 15 March 2020 (CET)
If Telgar doesn't mind, you could also have 3 Bunnykin sub-species, the Rabbit, Hare and jackrabbit (which is technically a hare subspecies.)
For art, you can search Google for Final Fantasy Viera. Viera, in the FF universe, typically keep the males and females separate and only come together to mate. --MrPib (talk) 19:44, 15 March 2020 (CET)
Subspecies are listed in parentheses after race in bio. See Erica Fluffs race = Bunnykin (Black Satin) A catkin could read Catkin (Tiger) or Catkin (Calico) --Telgar (talk) 19:57, 15 March 2020 (CET)
Ok, well, in that case, another idea. How about a bunnykin student that managed to get herself pregnant and is raising their 3yo daughter on the school grounds in the dorm while still being a student? Cultural accomodations and all, this is a little more extreme than a preference for revealing clothing but it's still something that would be likely to come up a lot among this race. Jemini (talk) 16:25, 16 March 2020 (CET)
A highschool or college age student would work as they aren't required to have roommates and would have more potential contact with males away from the school. Especially if the girls parents are still paying tuition. --Telgar (talk) 16:44, 16 March 2020 (CET)
Dian Fluffs just created the precident so yes any high school or older Bunnykin can have their child live with them. --Telgar (talk) 00:42, 17 March 2020 (CET)
Not sure how I feel about the Trans Bunnykin. Is there a specific reason you added it? --Telgar (talk) 23:31, 4 April 2020 (CEST)
Lol, was just in the middle of explaining that, and had to use the coppy/back-page trick to preserve it. Here's what I was in the middle of writing before.
"Changed some stuff, making the bunnykin a predominantly female race. It's written up such that they are genetically designed to favor a maximum reproduction strategy, taking genetic cues from the environment to determine whether or not a child born XY should even be male in the first place. I picked this up from a combination of rare genetic defects in humans that allow female-to-male transformations upon puberty, as well as certain animal species that have the genders of the newborns determined by environmental factors. I don't know if rabbits are among those that have this trait, but it would make enough sense, plus more females and just enough males to impregnate them actually is the maximum reproductive strategy a species can have."
Can just take that out and leave the male-female ratio slanted if it bothers you that much, but given how heavily female some of the bunnykin families we've populated the school with are it would make sense to have it that males are a bit more rare for the species.Jemini (talk) 23:35, 4 April 2020 (CEST)
Rabbits become fertile at 6 months of age and can produce a litter every month. The average ratio is a litter of 12 with 7 females and 5 males per litter.
That's about 60/40 f/m. --MrPib (talk) 00:32, 5 April 2020 (CEST)
