This is, of course, still a WIP, but I'm happy with my progress^^
This sweet child has a mostly humanoid body, with olive skin and one big, golden eye. The other eye is covered with a silk-lined plaid eyepatch, and is blood red. Her hair is in two thick braids reaching her waist, and is faun brown. Like bear fur, her hair is lighter colored at the base and darkens at the tips. Though she does not have whiskers, her cheeks are lightly freackled to give that impression. Her mouth is in an 'animal' shape for effect, and I will be adding a pair of large canines to it. one of her hands is in the shape of a bear paw, complete with bloodstained claws and thin fur, possible a rather odd birth defect.
As you can see, I'm running with the "Bear" idea here. A lot.
