Replying to a redditor:

> What was the design process like for Lord Cowboy Darrell?

> That happened organically! A storyboard artist for "A Heros Fate", Ryann Shannon, pitched the idea of "Special Limited Edition Cowboy Darrell" and it made us laugh so much that we made Darrell's love of cowboys part of his character.
