I've been wanting to design a new character, so this time I decided to try something different, this is an anthro tauntaun. Tauntauns are the mount creatures in "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back".

This is Katarina. I haven't done much thinking on her actual background, but if she was in the Star Wars universe, she would probably be a genetic experiment only few members of the Empire knew about on Kamino. She escapes from the facility after a fierce fire fight.
Being a tauntaun she's good in low, sub-zero climates and with her leg strength can run well even in bad terrian and jump to amazing heights. She's also a good marksman, usually grabbing whatever weapons she can.
