Alright, it took me a little while to make a decision; there were quite a few excellent forms that tied for the title of the winner. I actually had to ask for help in deciding on who should win; with their help, we were able to carefully read through each and every form and discuss about the pros and cons of each of them. We were able to come to a unanimous decision at the very end. Thank you both so much (you two know who you are! <3), as I don't think I would have been able to decide on a winner anytime soon without your help.
Because of all of the effort you guys placed into your forms, I would like to thank each and every one of you ^^)/ It was neat being able to judge this contest, and it was even neater to be able to read through the finished forms for a character that I was able to design. I’m always excited to be able to participate in contests like this ^u^ Since everyone who finished their forms strived for 3 or more extras, I'll be giving out a few HM's as a way to say thank you for your hard work and efforts.
With all of that said, please don't feel discouraged if your form didn't win. It was a very difficult decision, as the forms had so many wonderful qualities to them; I can honestly say that I'm happy to congratulate each and every one of you. I didn't expect so many entrants to do as many extras as all of you did, especially since the contest was hosted during the busiest times of the year. The fact that you all went above and beyond is surely something to be proud of!
I would also appreciate that all of the art drawn and used in each form goes to the winner ^^
First, I would like to award honorable mentions to a few users; these can be used to redeem one stub at the viscet stub shop.

Your form is absolutely adorable and it fit the character's design very well; the story behind it reminded me of those classic, happy, hope-filled fairy tales; I was excited to see that Yule's life began to change for the better at the end of the story. The art that both you and Steampunkalec collaborated on is undoubtedly cute and very well done, and I love how you can tell that there's certainly positive chemistry going on between the two of them.

The art related back to her story very nicely, and I found her story to be interesting. I loved the small twists that you put into the story as well; I had a great time reading through it as it made me want to know more about Yuki overall!

Leilani’s personality and overall character is unique, and there is a lot that can be explored with her. I adored how she’s referenced all across history and how each and every group that witnessed her perceived her in various ways, just as how she constantly puts up false personas in a way to make up for being unable to determine who she really is. Your hard work and effort shines through your form immensely; the coding, writing, art, and story all showcase that.
Creative
Estella’s whole character is absolutely creative and wonderful. Placing her in ballet poses across the art is a brilliant idea as well, and it really did add to her character as a whole. I adored how the art and her personality connected with each other solidly. The writing about her relationships with other viscets were woven together wonderfully.
And last, but certainly not least, the winner of this viscet is:

Calidia’s character is exceptional, and I adored how you told the reader about her personality through the extra story first. Your form flowed very well; the placement of the main, required art piece also created an additional “oomph” to the end of the emotional backstory to her life. The emotion captured in the picture is also phenomenal, and I love pieces that relate back to the character's story. The explanation behind her accessories, although it wasn’t required, is very well appreciated. It certainly did add to the overall feeling and depth of the story!
Thank you all for participating in this contest ^^)/ I hope you all had a wonderful December, and I certainly do wish that this year will be filled with good fortune for each and every one of you!
