Alternative Character Interpretation in Lonely Wolf Treat.

Main and Supporting Characters
- Treat:
- Her casual agreement to scare a fox off for Mochi is a little odd, given her nonconfrontational nature. Did she just correctly assume Moxie would run away as soon as she showed up, or was preparing to fight her physically if need be?
- Did Treat's feelings for Mochi come about via Love at First Sight, or did it develop over time? It's noticeable that she blushes a few times around Mochi shortly after meeting her, the earliest being when the bunny girl thanked her for scaring off Moxie, suggesting the former. However, it could also just be the case because Treat is a Shrinking Violet who's not used to compliments, especially from a rabbit, since she endured nothing but verbal abuse from them for two months after running away.
- Mochi:
- She doesn't seem to display any worry over Juju seeing her with Treat in the first game until after she's spotted. Was she naive enough to think Juju would believe Treat means no harm, or is she simply unconcerned with what other rabbits think?
- Is Mochi harming the rabbits in Bad End 3 really for Treat's sake or is her desire to vent out frustration and anger over her destroyed garden overtaking her? On one hand, Mochi genuinely loves Treat and always defended her from other rabbits, and even though it was her idea to initiate the garden, the bunny girl still considered it both hers and Treat. On the other hand, if you talk to Dango in Chapter 6, they'll point out that Treat wouldn't want the other rabbits harmed no matter what, and Mochi only promised to find the culprit.
- Also, is her line about wishing Treat would eat all rabbits because they deserve it in the same route a reasonable reaction or a huge Kick the Dog moment that makes her an unforgivable monster worse than everyone in Frosting combined?
- Trick:
- Are they really as optimistic as they present themself to be? Or are they just that much better at hiding pain from losing their master?
- Juju:
- A poor girl whose genuine love for her missing father led her down a dark path, or is she a shallow prick who's happy to treat predators like crap and use her past as an excuse for it? Does she really care for Mochi or is she just a Control Freak towards her?
- On another note, does she really believe in her view as much as she seems to do, which would mean she really is a shallow racist incapable of changing, or is she secretly reinforcing this attitude because deep down, she knows Mochi is right but doesn't want to or feels like she's too deep in her hatred that she can't backpedal?
- Mango:
- Did he stay with Treat's pack because he feared he'd be a burden on his family like he said, or could it be because he thought it'd make him look crazy to say that a wolf helped him out of the snow in exchange for a measly rice ball?
- Is he a genuinely regretful rabbit whose decision is understandable, or a spineless coward who made things harder for predators (albeit unintentionally) by making a needless, stupid mistake?
- Moxie's mom:
- She was shown to be ruthless to her daughter, but her conversation with Trick is surprisingly civil. Is she a genuinely respectful character despite her shadiness, or someone who looks down on everyone and is able to fake being approachable?
- Was she actually a true believer in equality or was she only using the notion to make more money?
- Moxie's dad and brothers:
- Did they really leave just because his wife's business sunk and he only cares about her money, or because she's unpleasant behind closed doors?
- Myrrh:
- He raised Trick to adulthood then left without a word after they joined a pack supposedly as a Cruel to Be Kind gesture allowing them to learn to be a real wolf. Was that his plan from the beginning or did it slowly occur to him that he wouldn't be able to look after them forever over the years? Was there a part of him that wanted to do it because he wants to continue living his own life doing something he loves? "Trick Comes Home" gives us some answers: It seems it was his plan from the beginning since the shelves have been empty since the day Trick brought Treat to meet him, and his reasoning for leaving was to make up for a mistake in the past involving the All-in-one Book of Lore he authored with other people.
- Senbei:
- Since he had no significance in his first appearance, one wonders if he's actually a Nice Guy like Juju says who happens to have bad friends, or a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing who's as nasty as other rabbits and can even be suspected in the wreckage of the garden. One secret ending answers it: He really is bad, and is indeed the mastermind behind the garden being destroyed.
- Brickzo:
- He seems to be a genuine Nice Guy, but is he a Punch-Clock Villain like Mr. Mousse who has no problem with predators despite his job, or another prejudiced person against predators?
- Secret End 3 gives us another question: Is he oblivious to his son's true intentions for moving into Frosting or fully aware and encouraging or apathetic?
- Mochi's parents:
- If you interact with Mochi before asking Genoise for time off in "Lucky Number Moxie", she'll suggest bringing Treat and Moxie to meet her parents sometime. Does this mean her parents aren't consumed by Fantastic Racism like most rabbits are, or simply because they would support their only daughter out of unconditional love?
- Cat Mother:
- Does she care about her child at all? Or does she only use them as an excuse to get mad at Trick? The fact that she didn't show any concern about her child going missing suggests the latter.
- There's also the odd situation with her addressing them with feminine pronouns despite the child not accepting being labelled a girl by Trick. Either the kid doesn't mind the pronouns...or the mom is so uncaring that she doesn't bother accommodating her own child.
- Trick's parents:
- Were they neglectful and possibly abusive enough to abandon their child, or are there actually sympathetic circumstances to them leaving Trick behind somehow?
- Grenadine and Capillaire:
- Because of their initial status as Unknown Characters, it's left ambiguous whether they truly felt guilty about writing the All-in-one Book of Lore like Myrrh did. The fact that he wished to contact them again to fix things suggests they do, but it remains to be seen.
Secret Characters Section (SPOILERS UNMARKED)
- Glaze Wolf Pack:
- In the first secret ending, it is unclear whether they are kept oblivious to Timber's foul nature thanks to his manipulations, or if they are just as evil as him and happily support his efforts to murder rabbits and manipulate Treat.
- Timber:
- Is he actually saddened by his father's murder at the hands of rabbits, or is he merely using it to justify his reprehensible acts? And as a matter of fact, is that story even real or did he make it up?
- Bad End 3 confirms the event to be true, and given his distressed expression while witnessing it, it seems Timber really is saddened even if he doesn't show it in the present.
- Tundra:
- If the story is true, is she also saddened? She doesn't talk about it at all like Timber so it's unclear.
- Judging from her trying to take away Timber from seeing his father dying, it appears she was devastated as well.
- Also, she tries claiming that she held back in her fight against Candy because she cared about her. Is that true, or was Candy just too strong for her?
- Timber's father:
- Then there's the question of whether this father was as bad as his family, hence why he was murdered so is somehow the Token Good Teammate and his murder was because of a misunderstanding.
- Going by the sadness of his family, he might've not been a bad husband and father. His murder is actually what turned Timber and Tundra into what they are today.
