so here is a new character that i thought of. She is a sand cat/desert cat and has cactus' growing from her back. The flower on her ear blooms in the middle of spring to the middle of summer. The juice around her neck is from her own cactus on her tail. She can use the juice to disorient enemies. She can also use her sharp spines as weapons. She half buries herself in sand leaving only the cactus on the back showing.
Her name is now Peyote, which is a small spineless cactus whose juices have a psychoactive effect on things.
