New toy! New toy! :D
My tail is NOT a toy...
New toy! New toy! :D

Poor Phyress, seems she picked the wrong branch to relax on, as a certain blue bean realized dangling tails makes for excellent toys! There's some debate on that aspect though, namely the owner of said tail disagrees quite heavily and insists it is, in fact, not a toy, but that doesn't deter the blue bean! She knows what she found!

So this is based on a really stupid idea I got, which also made me realize that hang on, Phoenix!Phyress never actually got an official size, so that was also a fun thing to try to figure out. While I do enjoy her shoulder size around Elvira, I do also like the idea of her being a bit bigger, though that does conflict with the backpack sized ideas I've had prior, so that's going to be a mess to try to figure out. Unless I just use the classic big brain move, of "when smol, it's just chibi!" :'D
Real talk, might just be that she has different sizes, kinda like how regular Phyress varies in size after rebirth. Could be the same sorta theme going on here, and would actually also give lore reasons to why she'd be carried around in a backpack, other than it just being stupidly cute.

Anywho, lore ramblings aside, really happy with how this turned out! Celina looks like she's having the time of her life haha, such a fun new plaything she found! Meanwhile, Phyress looks like this has gone on for several minutes too long, and is contemplating maybe flying up to a higher branch, out of reach of the blue menace on the ground! c':

I absolutely love how Cookie did the expressions, they just look amazing! Celina just looks so incredibly happy, it's just so adorable ;;

Celina and Phyress are miiiiineeeeeeeeeeee
