So here's Lucy... again! Somewhere along the time where I started basing my actual cat as a Palico in MH games, I thought it'd be nice to make a whole character inspired by her. For context on said cat, I adopted her years back from an animal shelter I was volunteering at one summer. Turns out she was abandoned under a porch. With that she's a very outdoorsy cat at for a time, really didn't like other cats and such, though lately I noticed her chilling with a couple outside here and there. She is pretty chill, but does get a bit nutty around the winter time since she doesn't go out as much due to the cold, but is playful and is fond of people (but tends to avoid kids at this point).

I've implemented those qualities into her character; an ex-police officer who decided to break off from the force to more directly help those on the streets. Quite the people person and ended up forming a gang that has an influence of the area, for better or worse. Being trained on the force has given her enough experience to hold her own, especially since she loves to take walks around town. Just don't expect her to be a good babysitter. She's clueless with kids.

So far this is the current design I have for her. I had another one before this, and her character was pretty different from the current concept, so I might share that later for comparison. Even the idea above is pretty much a WIP, so a lot can change still. I should draw her more often.
