This was a belated birthday gift from my little sister to me. I asked if she could create a reference of Carrie, the new Lucario girl from my story The Club - A Friend, and this was the result. The reference isn't perfect - she should still have usable hands, and her hair didn't get included, but I thought the end result was so adorable that I didn't mind at all. I may even consider this design an official AU version of her.

My main thoughts behind this drawing, Carrie's expression, and the dress she's going goes like this: Quite a while after Carrie joins Alice's Club, her sister back in Oreburgh city managed to get in contact with Carrie and discovered what happened to her. Fortunately, Carrie's sister is not only very accepting, she was pleased enough to get Carrie the dress she's wearing in this picture. I imagine her first words when she puts it on and looks in the mirror are shortly before this picture - they would be, "This is the cutest Arceus-damn dress I've ever seen, I love it and it's mine now."
