The Theory

(Sorry in advance if someone has already mentioned this theory).

I know what you're probably all thinking 'Are you insane? Wenet doesn't have anything to do with the Great Hunger...'.

Now, you wouldn't be entirely wrong in thinking that. Our Wenet (the older, rabbit lusting one) has nothing, not a drop, to do with January's event. But the past Wenet (a terrified, starving cub); she certainly does.

A good start to this theory would be to actually tell you what it is about. :3

I theories that the first time we actually encounter Wenet is not during the April event, but instead during the starving cub encounter when you can recieve a cub decor (note that the cub that stays with its mother looks incredibly similar to Wenet).

Cub Wenet

It is my belief that following this encounter, Wenet (and potentially her mother) survive the shortage of prey, and either Wenet's mother dies some time between that point and Wenet reaching 3 years old (when you claim Wenet and she joins your during the Rabbit Hunt event, she is 3 years old), or Wenet survives January but her mother dies of starvation.

Wenet's Rabbit Munching Obssession

I have two ideas for the origins of this. The most likely cause is due to the starvation Wenet suffered as a cub. Animals (I've experienced this in real life myself) that have been starved, even when they were too young to remember it, can become extreamly possessive over food and/or become incredibly greedy, eat any food they can get their hands on. This is likely the explaination for Wenets...eating habbits...as she is still subconciously suffering from the trauma of intense starvation she faced as a cub.
As for the other theory, I'll add that later :D.

The Looks

And finally, arguably the most convincing part of this theory...the looks.
Adult + Cub Wenet

Initially, after a while of comparing the two images, I actually got disapointed because I thought that the cub only had pure blue eyes (Wenet has a mixture of green, blue and red (known as glass)), however if you look closely at the cub's eyes, you can see that they have both blue and green in them. While the absence of red in the cub's eyes might cast doubt on this theory, the fact that the red is not visible even in Wenet's own eyes in the default lioness pose allows us to assume that the absence of red in the cub's eyes is just due to the angle of the picture (just like Wenet's).

The tail colours are also incredible similar. The Wenet cub has a brown ended tail that progressively gets blacker as you go up the tail which is exactly what adult Wenet's tail does.

There are loads more similarites in appearance, such as the paws and facial markings/colours, but you can easily see them for yourselves in the comparison images.

I'd love to know what your opinions are on this theory!


(Wow...That took longer than expected O-o. I think I got a bit carried away ).
