I think we should leave this up to Splash: it is her collab and she can do what she wants.

Komp: Skye is right, claim it back if Splash lets you and if you don't write, tough, someone else will take it. I think Splash is perfectly justified to give away any characters she wants to get her collabs written.

Ivyshiver: First of all, welcome! It;s great you're joining in with stuff. If Komp wants the cat back, I'm afraid she probably gets first dibs. However if Komp doesn't write and you want to take over, I'm sure that would be fine.

Basically tl;dr, whatever Splash decides goes. If she decides Komp gets Lion's Maine back, then Komp gets them, if she decides otherwise, then that goes.
