I've had this idea to create a brand new character to go along with my Red derg for a while now, and so after coming up with some ideas and working on a design I am more then happy with, everyone, I'd like you to meet Tulip~! My brand new Serperior OC~! Isn't she just the cutest thing you've ever seen~?

So a lot of you probably didn't know this about me, but I am a HUGE Pokémon fan. I grew up playing Pokémon ever since I was 10 years old, with "Pokémon Black" being my very first Pokémon game I played. Serperior is a Pokémon that holds a very important place in my heart for not only being the first starter Pokémon I've ever chose, the my very first Pokémon ever that I got. This makes Serperior probably one of my most favorite Pokémon in the entire series. This reason is why I chose to make Tulip (who the the actual name and gender of my Serperior I had in my game) my newest OC. When I was working on the design of Tulip, I decided I wanted to add in a couple of unique touches to make Tulip stand out a bit, I didn't want her to just look like a generic Serperior. The first thing I did was decide to have Tulip be shiny Serperior, I personally like the shiny form of Serperior over it's normal form. While coming up with some more unique additions to Tulip's appearance I could add, I was looking on DeviantArt for other Serperior art that people have drawn for some inspiration, a couple art pieces I found were these ones (https://www.deviantart.com/bigdaddydowney/art/Ssssecond-Tablet-Drawing-610769440) and (https://www.deviantart.com/bigdaddydowney/art/Flower-Snek-787538338) by an DA user called BigDaddyDowney (https://www.deviantart.com/bigdaddydowney), and I really loved this artwork, so I took them to use as a template for Tulip. (Btw, I hope people don't think I'm just copying someone else's idea here, that wasn't my intention I was just looking for inspiration, and this design made for a great template to use and try out a bunch of different idea on.) The first thing I did was brighten the colors of Tulip a bit to make her pop out a bit more, I liked the idea of giving her a flower to wear as an accessory thinking that was a really cute and fitting detail to give her, but I decided to change it to make it look a little bit more like a purple tulip because... well... you can probably guess why lol. The last thing I decided to add (and the thing i'm most proud of coming up with) was the little Miracle Seed necklace around her neck. The Miracle Seed was the main held item I gave my Serperior in my game, and so I thought it would be a neat idea to add that into the design somehow. The idea I came up with was to have the Miracle Seed sprouting little grass vines out of it and have Tulip wear it around her neck like a necklace! After that, I was fully satisfied with how I made Tulip look and decided she was ready.

Now, for those of you wondering what Tulip's personally is like, she is known for being a very kind and gentle soul. Tulip is quite well known for helping out other innocent creatures in need, whether that be from from predators, or by just finding food, water and shelter for them. She would also spend a lot of her time in the wild finding anyone she could to wrap her soft coils around and cuddle and play with, she loved hugs and making other creatures happy. And to those she REALLY became fond of, like me for example, well she is known for being a little intimate, giving them lots of friendly nuzzles and licks with her forked serpentine tongue, probably the most intimate thing Tulip is known for though is her passion for keeping those who she cares about deeply close to her heart of swallowing them whole and keeping them safely in her stomach. Don't worry though, Tulip isn't capable of digesting anything, she solely relies on the power of photosynthesis to receive nutrients for her regal form, though that doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy snacking on some tasty prey here and there and keeping them safely inside her. From first-hand experience myself, I can tell you it is a very pleasant experience to let her eat you up, she is so gentle and caring about the way she does it, and she always makes you feel as comfortable as possible while you are inside her, take you fully into her care while she holds you close to her heart. She is quite possibly one of the kindest and sweetest predators you can encounter.

I also want to mention right away that this is not a character I will be doing regular RPs with. Tulip is mainly for art or stories that I want to write with her. So please don't ask me to RP with you as Tulip being the pred nomming you or one of your OC's. My main dragon OC is the only character I RP as, and I'm solely prey as I personally don't like RP as a pred, thank you.
