Ref for crux Shade. Been trying to put off deciding til I was really sure.... but I couldnt keep my paws off of this. XD

Uhm... stuff to know.


1. Shade is NOT super skinny. She has a pudgy belly, butt, and thighs (just like me >.<) Draw her the way she's supposed to look.

2. Somewhere down the line she must have had dragon blood, hence the horns/spines.

3. She sometimes dyes her white fur different colors, in varying patterns. Colors shes more likely to dye it in can be seen on the sheet. (Pink and yellow being the least common of those)

4. She has a bit of a mane, going from her head to a little past her shoulders. It isnt really hair, per say.

5. The purple marking on her chest was something done to her at birth, the fur was burned off in such a way that it would not grow back, and the skin dyed. It was sort of a form of identification, as is the green spiraly stripe further down. The purple was done by her family, as the branding was a very common form of idenfication in her homeland. The green stripe is the mark of a gang she ran with until she left; she still considers herself to be a member.

6. No one but her knows why her teeth, horns, and spines are blue. When asked, she merely mutters something about aliens and walks away... :P

7. She does not wear shorts, or skirts. The longest thing you may see her wear would still fall below her knees. She doesnt go into public unless fully clothed; she is not comfortable in her fur.

8. I didnt mean to make the body/eye thing look like an alien. OOPS.

9. Piercings are the same on both ears. Markings are the same on both sides of her. Makes life easier, no?



Soooo....thats it in a nutshell. DOnt ask me for details of her life story, because I really dont know. Hope I havent forgotten anything.
