- woo, this was a ton of fun to design !! I absolutely love this design <3 this gal is the yamabiko mascot, owned by me. she's very tropical in theme and lives in a rainforest environment, a little algae in her fur from the humidity. she also has the legendary magic power of illusion, able to make others see things in different ways, and her flowers glow and sparkle~
the leafy tail was based on a suggestion from my brother while we were brainstorming the species. it was originally hummingbird feathers, but after that idea went down the drain and we thought of a new plant-based one, I wanted to keep it somehow and morphed it into leaves since I loved the sketch LOL
I think I'll call her amitabh, maybe? after the southeast asian/indonesian goddess of infinite light who saves souls
