The series was called Red Fork X, and it included a huge cast of characters, more than 100. I had been creating pony OCs since 2011, and by the time I was writing the series, I already had tons of characters to use. Granted, I wrote six seasons of that fanfiction series, but I got experience in handling large casts. I'd say that in an ongoing series like IaLR, the best number of characters is as many we can handle without reducing the quality of the character development. Numbers should never be more important than quality when it comes to characters, but if you can handle more characters and still keep the character quality high, then it's a great idea to add in a few more characters. I know I'm always adding in new characters to my cast, specially after Pea and I began IaLR: Heroes of Echo Creek.

Got it.

Say, are there any other characters in your cast that could potentially be shipped in the future? I tend to handle less than 50 recurring characters, mostly less then 5 back in the old PvZ Wiki RPing days (or practically not going for the maximum amount on those threads), so yeah, I have no experience of handling a large cast. The recurring characters should be given a bit of love first, and that I'll agree on.

Mainly the OCs, and maybe some of my canon characters. *proceeds to stay silent about the former, then speaks up about something* ...Oh. Don't get me wrong, not all of my recurring OCs are getting love partners, only certain ones. In my Splatoon headcanon, sure, I ship Klitz and Marie of the Squid Sisters due to me shipping Agent 4 and said idol in Hero Mode of Splatoon 2, but Klitz isn't Agent 4 in IaLR and is intended to remain single here. And I can't ship Sasha (my IaLR Agent 4) and Marie since I don't completely own the latter, Chilly (and partially Jelo) does, along with her idol partner Callie! That would also make a lesbian ship... Which I actually don't mond having my first one ever, but eh, I pass! Gruffle is toned down to being a minor character (will still get proper importance in the future), and Sylkie... Let's just say there's potentially a twist. Her Splatoon headcanon counterpart may be single, but there's a chance I may change that in IaLR.

Sherry's love partner, being an Octoling Boy...Gonna have to make an SFM render for him, though it won't be 100% accurate.

Oh yeah, I'm getting too intrigued into Persona 5, although I'm watching an LP. I blame SSB Ultimate. Ok, I see.
