I've had this idea floating around since my last commission. Kiba's had this single, heart-shaped spot on her cheek ever since her first piece by nekkoream. That was entirely their idea, but I loved the idea and wanted to keep it.

It ended up on Kiba's ref sheet in the same spot (pun unintended) and rather more prominent than I probably intend it to be in most of her pieces, but I had this idea for it. I think it'd be fun to give artists free reign on where to put it when I give them a prompt. It could make the spot more of a fun little easter egg that way. Make each piece a game of finding where it ended up in that one. Could be especially interesting in more full-frontal pieces, too :p I know it's not ground-breaking or anything, but I like the idea of giving artists some creative freedom when I work with them.

I know of other cheetah characters with unique spots, spacecamping 's chees all have more than a few that seem to run through the family, so I don't want to overdo it, but I think the one is enough to be distinct and a little fun (though in my defense, Kiba's older than Aurora :p)
