SLEEPING CITIES

it's the scar on his head.

This is a jab created by Urana to make Rudo angry to then show us that, actually, Regto was a good Dad. But I like to think it's also part of Zanka's characterisation even though it doesn't tell us anything personal, for example how Zanka views the Family. Pretty traditionally it looks like. Also with the expectation that everyone has a mom and dad and that they taught their children proper manners and respect.

How many people in the Cleaners and the wider Ground society can say that they lived a life like that? We have Bro and Dear who make a good father-adopted son combo, but I would hardly see them as the norm except maybe adoption is common because someone somewhere always loses a family member or two.

THATS SO FUCKING CUTE.

Riyo is loud and chatty, but her actual presence is deathly quiet. She frequently walks without a sound and breathes in time with ambient noise on reflex. On sleepless nights, most of the cleaners have been jumpscared by her in the kitchen at some point or another. No one can ever see her coming, she just appears

Zanka is a vicious spar buddy. What he lacks in raw power (which he’s not lacking much, mind you), he makes up for in battle iq. He can predict most attacks from conventional weaponry considering he probably has more experience with the weapon than the actual user. He’s always more than willing to offer up ideas for new, unconventional attacks that the other givers can use to improve their fighting styles

Rudo has a deceptively keen eye, trained by his years as a scavenger. Lost your hairbrush? Yeah it’s in the far corner of the back room no one’s been in in days. Can’t find something in your closet? Bring Rudo over and he’ll spot it in five seconds flat. He’s also the first to notice changes in their environment, be it a new decoration in someone’s room or a new piece of clothing added to another cleaner’s wardrobe
