Nadia didn't know anything about what happened with Solar in the past, she had no idea about his old friends, the only thing she knew about his past is that he used to have a brother. So when Nadia was invited to an Imaginate session in the Sandwich house and Max was there, she had no idea that they have another mutual friend outside Peanut. Nadia had to leave early because she agreed to go stargazing with Solar and when she mentioned his name, it immediately drew Max's attention who didn't hear anything about Solar for almost two years at that point. They had a short discussion where Solar's ghosting story was partly revealed, he even asked Nadia to let him join them so he can see his long lost friend. Max's request to join was politely declined and Nadia offered to organise a meeting between them, she wanted to find out more about this first, wanted to hear Solar's side of the story. While she found Max's sudden emotional reaction and worry genuine, she still had many doubts. Max had one last question, he asked if Solar is still singing all the time and when Nadia replied that she only heard him singing once or twice, he reacted with sadness in his voice: "Then he is not alright..."
These few words convinced Nadia about Max's intentions, it made her determined to reunite Solar with his old friends and make him happy again.

And here's a more lighthearted thing, a few people on Discord made Retrospring accounts dedicated to their characters and I made one as well for Nadia and Solar, here is the profile picture I drew for it

It is always nice when some new characters you make end up become popular right away. You don't have to work as hard to keep them having their fans.

Thanks guys!

Here are the four borzoi siblings of the Devon-Romanov family, Frodo, Nadia, Tony and Olga. All four of them were show dogs and they were quite decent ones to, except Nadia. Despite now living separate from them, Nadia is still contact with her siblings. I will try to describe them shortly, but I'm afraid I will still make a wall of text again.
Fedor Nikolaievich Devon-Romanov or simply just Frodo is the smallest sibling out of the four. He always considered himself as the second weakest link after Nadia (who never took offense by that because she also knew she is the 'worst' out of the four) and after she moved to Babylon Gardens he became anxious about him being the next one who gets scolded over the smallest mistakes. He would never admit it, but he is jealous of Tony because of his successes and attractiveness, besides the jealousy, Tony's occasionally arrogant attitude can make Frodo go crazy, thus making the relationship of the two brothers sour. He is also a huge fan of soccer team Manchester United and the team's fluctuating form in the past decade can cause him frustrations as well.
Nadezhda Nikolaievna Devon-Romanov, now living as Nadia Thompson in Babylon Gardens. She was the black sheep of the family who always stood out due to the her clumsy nature and lack of gracefulness. After lots of persuasion and arguments, she finally managed to convice her mom so she could leave and start a new life with a new owner.
Anton Nikolaievich Devon-Romanov, but he prefers Tony, he is the golden child of the family. He is quite chill but he can be arrogant sometimes and he is insufferable during these episodes. He is the most successful in the family, almost constantly finishing in the top 3 in all dog shows. Tony is protective towards his siblings, even Frodo, he often stood up for Nadia when she was berated for making mistakes.
Olga Nikolaievna Devon-Romanov is the brain of the family. Whenever a sibling wanted to something without their mother's knowledge, they always turned to Olga and she always came up with a plan. She is actually a nerd, who loves videogames, role-playing and a huge fan of Pridelands. The seemingly pretty and soft-spoken Olga is always up for a good banter and can be intimidating when she wants to be. She is always there to separate Tony and Frodo whenever they get into an argument.

That picture has really come out nicely Chieris! Just one question I wanted to ask though. Are their snouts SUPPOSED to be super long as that is part of the breed or is that just how you draw them?

Thank you! Yes, the long snout is intentional, I try to draw smaller snouts whenever I'm drawing other canine characters

Returning back to the Solar-story. After Nadia's and Max's short discussion about him, the two got into touch and started making plans about the reunion, Marvin, Fiddler and Keys also joined the discussion, providing further details about this, but despite all the new information, she wanted Solar to confirm it. One day, when Solar visited her home, Nadia decided to bring up this topic carefully. Solar got very anxious as Nadia questioned him, he thought of two possible outcomes, either he lies and his old friends will hate him even more or tells the truth and Nadia will turn against him as well. Eventually he came up with a middle of the road response by saying that it was his fault, not theirs and he refused to elaborate by saying it's too painful for him. Nadia felt bad for causing him such distress and reassured Solar by saying she will do whatever she can to help him, but he refused by saying he doesn't deserve help. All these bad thoughts and anxiousness caused Solar to feel unwell, so he excused himself and went home. Hearing Solar's quiet sobs as he walked out left Nadia with guilt, but seeing the way Solar behaved made her even more determined to make him happy again.

Gotta admire Nadia's resolve after all this emotion.

I really like how much emotion this conveyed and think it is quite nice! Especially the blurred background!

Thanks! This is a very important thing for Nadia so she is especially careful to keep her composure. Obviously the main reason she does this is to help out Solar, but she has a little more "selfish" motive as well. With that she wants to prove that she can do things right after being labeled as the one who always messes everything up at her old home.

Yeah I can see why she would want to prove to everybody she is capable of doing things right in that case then. It does look like she is proving everybody wrong though about messing things up.
