I should never be allowed to write for a cartoon series, because if I did I’d include all sorts of stuff just to mess with the sort of folks who like to speculate about the backstories of children’s media.
Like:
There’d be a character with a large, conspicuous facial scar. It’s not there in childhood flashbacks, so clearly they must have suffered it at some point between then and now, but it’s just plain never addressed.
Two major supporting characters have identical designs apart from their hairstyle and clothing, and are played by the same voice actor. No situation ever arises that would require them both to be present in the same scene, so the question of whether they’re related or one character with a dual identity or what never comes up.
A couple of supporting characters have a focus episode where they go off on their own little adventure for a couple of weeks. When they return home at the end of the episode, the protagonist now has, like, a prosthetic hand or something. When they express concern, the protagonist indicates that they’ll tell them the whole story later that evening - and then the episode ends. The change to the protagonist’s character design proves to be permanent, but the audience never does find out what happened.
That’s just evil
I’m not sure which would be better; never answering those question or answering them all in the last episode but with ridiculous answers that aren’t dark or tragic.
“This scar? Oh I just caught it on a branch when fell out of a tree when I was 12. I was scrumping apples at the time. I rather like the scar. It makes me look like a pirate.”
“Huh? We both look identical!? Well scientists do say that everyone has at least one doppelganger out there.”
“Yes, I know your prosthetic hand has come in useful. However, I think it’s a bad idea to deliberately cut off the other one - like you did last time - just because you want to look more like a robot.”
Better yet, make it in a short after the series ended so people debate it’s canonicity
