Description
My girl Swirl!! She's finally got her ref sheet C: Character notes below:
Design notes:
- Inspired by cats, but not quite a cat herself
- Her head part is fully attached!! It's literally growing out of her head, lol. If you try to pull it off, it WILL hurt :C
- The paint she generates comes out of her tail! She uses it like a giant brush, so imagine that it's just full of paint~ That's how it works!
- She usually sticks to the colors blue, yellow, and/or red (the same shade and hue as the stripes on her tail/head-part), but she can generate any color or any color combo that she wants. Blue/yellow/red is just her default, and she prefers pastel colors over everything else.
- The height chart consists of Lavender, Jellereele, Swirl, and Melonheart, from left to right.
Story notes:
- Swirl resides in the Penultimate era. She is of a race of creatures referred to as Whiskar, which look like cats, have long/big tails, and things growing out of their heads. In her case that would be one lil' whip cream swirl of paint, haha (it's squishy, like a gummy almost, but soft and velvety-textured, not removable, and also firm and solid all the way through.). The Whiskar are ruled by Queen Bloom.
- Swirl is a titled hero, and is referred to as The Pastel Painter.
- She has the ability to generate paint in her tail, and excretes it the same way! She waves it around like a brush, but is quite flexible and precise with it. When needing to form finer details, she utilizes the tip of her tail more. She can create just about anything she can imagine out of paint, and it lasts about as long as she has the energy and power to maintain it. Her paint structures can be as solid or as liquid as she desires, although again, it can break or dissipate into nothing if she can't maintain the structure anymore. Regular 2-D traditional paintings she makes with her paint/tail can last forever, though! It doesn't take her any energy to maintain those, just energy to put it out.
- During the Penultimate Era, she lives with Lavender, Jellereele, and Melonheart. The three of them share a close, sisterly relationship with each other. She is the third eldest/second youngest, and the least powerful, although let it be known that she can still pack a punch. She is especially close with Melonheart, as they are the closest in age (some five or six years apart!), and Swirl also serves as Melon's personal guard. Out of the four, she is by far the most fiercely protective of their littlest sis.
- She was an orphan taken in by Queen Wisteria when she was young, a little child, after an incident that happened in a village in Wisteria's kingdom.
Wisteria likes to adopt, huh?
- Swirl is a genuinely good artist! She loves to paint beings/people, especially portraits of individuals. Her favorite hobby is attempting to capture the essence of a being/person on canvas.
- Her favorite muse is Lavender, just because Lavender is very humble and becomes slightly miffed at being the subject of a lot of Swirl's paintings, which Swirl thinks is hilarious. Swirl likes to play games where she sneaks around trying to knock off a painting of Lavender without her knowledge, and leaving it somewhere for her to find, upon which Lavender will sigh greatly and harumph, but put it grudgingly up in the gallery of Lavender paintings that exists in the castle. It's quite funny to Swirl.
- She likes to tease her sisters a lot, although very, very gently. Jellereele and Swirl banter the most, and they enjoy it.
- She loves pastel colors, and uses them more than anything else~
- She is part of a group called the Painter's Guild - it's kind of secretive. No one really knows of its existence except those who are artistically gifted, especially paint-gifted, and even then it's more a rumor/hearsay than anything else. But, it is in fact real, and Swirl fought hard to find and become part of it. The Painter's Guild are a group of painters who work as heroes, but just out of the picture, so that they're quite undetectable and thus, difficult to target. Swirl is titled and therefore known, yes, but she was part of the Guild before she or most anyone else realized the title, so... yeah. Haha. They're not gonna kick her out for that.
- Swirl is a fierce fighter, quick and nimble and quite the challenge to most other beings. She's fast and creative, and as a creatively-gifted being, that's a very dangerous combo, haha.
- She tends to be more wary and cautious of everything, and doesn't easily make friends. The friends she does have, she values very highly, and is fiercely protective and defensive of them.
- She struggles with a low sense of self-esteem and self-worth, and a little bit of depression. It's something that all her sisters try very hard to combat by loving her very very much, and she very much appreciates that~
She is a fighter, though. She is not one to give up or to turn down a challenge, although she won't instigate if she feels it's not necessary. She's got sense in that head, y'know?
