Several Major Changes to White Crow, As of 8/6/2016:
- Dyusha's diminutive, according to ascertaining historically logical period diminutives employed at the series's set time, is grossly incorrect. Dyusha appears to be a relatively new diminutive favored by the more urban, bohemian crowd. As of such, his name will simply addressed as Andrei. Some names in Russian are not addressable with a diminutive, as none exist for said names. Hence appears the case with Andrei's name. He will be addressed as only Andrei after his second baptism at age 14.
- Konstantin will remain in his clerical occupation and position. However, due to his economic-social position, he employs the majority of his time as a horse breeder and herder- only "donning on the cloth" when his ecclesiastical services are required- such as baptisms, weddings, funerals and holiday services.
- The main deuteragonist, Dunya, will be completely eliminated from this series and its according canon. Dunya will be replaced with an entirely new character with a brand-new narrative- Aysun (actual name: Anastasie).
- Aysun/Anastasie's own contribution and narrative greatly alters the original plot of the Turkish Captivity and War Arc of 1787-1794. Her character likewise will effect and determine the series's later arcs.
- Ganya (Gavriil) will be appearing earlier, immediately when Andrei begins his new life with Konstantin on the horse farm. Ganya will be the son of Konstantin's neighbor. As a result, Andrei's and Ganya's friendship commences at the mutually shared age of 13.
- The series will be narrated in several connected arcs in sequential order(think on the order of Bleach) :
- Enkhtuya and Larin's Courtship and Marriage
- Kolya(Andrei)'s Boyhood as a Serf and Village Life
- The Village's New Church and Fr. Timofei's Demise
- Kolya's Trial
- Life with Konstantin
- Enter the Cossacks- Sydorenko
- Turkish War and Captivity
- Exit Ganya, Enter Aysun
- The New Life of Marriage
- Kostya's and Vera's Demise-Aysun's Sickness
- Austerlitz
- Larin's Revenge-Enter the Limbo Realm
- Beginning Anew
- 1812
- The Cossack's Soul
