New Character Bios

 * Uniquo - A male, teal version of Uniqua. She seems to be most like Pablo and overreacts to anything that seems out-of-the-ordinary.
 * Pedro - A red, pet-like version of Pablo.
 * Kai-Rone - An orange-colored mellow moose who acts the exact same as Tyrone.
 * Asha - A purple-colored hippo who acts very similarly to Austin.
 * Taustin - A yellow-colored kangaroo who acts very similarly to Tasha.

Inspiration
Note: A wordy, hard-to-follow explanation follows.

The inspiration for Asha and Taustin was a realization that the writer made. They noticed that Tyrone and Pablo were vibrantly-colored versions of their basis animals (a moose and penguin), as Tyrone's orange color is similar to a moose's brown coloring and Pablo's blue color is similar to a penguin's black feathers. They then figured out that an over-saturated version of a hippo's skin would be purple and a saturated kangaroo would be yellow, and that Austin and Tasha were these colors, but in this case Tasha was given a kangaroo's over-saturated shade and Austin was given a hippo's. Taustin and Asha are the switched colors (and personalities) of the two to make them match Pablo and Tyrone.

Original Storyline
The episode originally had a completely different storyline that focused on the Backyardigan world before it was turned into a TV show, as if it was inside a sketchbook.
