draw a stickman shit

question .

i had a strange thought . why , out of all the villagers that appeared in epic 2 , did the chef not appear in epic 3 ? as in no original or presuccessor appearance .

why is that ? did they just want to make room for the jester ? or is there something else behind her sudden disappearance ?

we have the miner , the farmer , the fisherman , the clown and the scientist . why is chef the only one missing and replaced by the clown ?

is she dead ? is she just gone ? was she erased out of existence somehow ? is she still alive and just somewhere else ?

i find it strange . she just disappears out of nowhere and the clown instead takes her spot .

and how come we also never see the friend either ? are they also dead ? are they also gone ? were they also erased out of existence somehow ?

i need answers
