With out further delay here is my most recent creation, Nika Starlight. Nika here, is a 20 year old vixen-girl with toon physics (like a number of my other creations). As anyone can guess from her personality, she hasn't got a mean bone in her at all. Her color patterns, though odd, are the result of a genetic mutation in her DNA, likely the most notable mutation is her yellow eye color. Another detail with Nika's eyes is how they react to light. When dim light shines on Nika's eyes or no light at all, her yellow irises will faintly glow and will sometimes change color depending on how she's feeling. Probably my favorite feature on her is that cowlick on her tail, I don't see a lot of characters with that kind of feature on their tails so I put one on Nika's tail and I love it!

Heart Fragments

So this is a thing that I haven't talked about before with my characters, when I created a character I make them to be their own person so they can feel alive. But to insure that happens, I give them a small piece of me that I call a heart fragment that is used to complete and give them a heart. When I create a character this way, I never feel like I have to come up with things for them to say or how they should react to things because they seemingly react on their own. I feel that going forward I should include information of the heart fragment's my characters have and what purpose that gives them in the story. But now, I need to shed some light on Nika's.

Nika's Heart Fragment: Bird In a Gilded Cage

Fair Warning: She is designed to be among my sad characters list.

Nika's heart fragment retains towards the feeling of that horrible feeling of loneliness, sadness and despair. It's the binding of a person's soul when that person is trapped by a third party who uses them, and cares nothing for them. As you can probably guess, Nika is the abuse victim in the story. Nika never knew her parents and spent her entire childhood in an orphanage until she was seventeen. Nika was taken off the streets by a wealthy man. However, this man was the same man who is the owner of the same porn studio that Anna Sue Watergate works at called Funtime Studio, and is the cruelest being in the buiseness. Once Nika turned 18 she was then forced to work for the studio as a porn star nick-named; Toy Vixen. As the name implies, Nika is used for the more obscure fantasy's and photo shoots, you know fetishy stuff, and is treated like a toy in all of them. Nika is treated horribly by everyone at the Studio, some who are afraid of what will happen to them if they are nice to her and the rest because they too are cruel people. But no one in that horrible place, is nearly the monster as the man owns it all and took Nika in. If she "steps out of line" as he puts it, Nika is threatened, beaten, tormented and put through worse Fantasies(films) than she is already in. And to make things worse, the studio owner takes great delight in Nika's suffering, and believes it keeps the other cast members in line. Needless to say, if you think you have it bad some else has it worse.

As for how this relates to being a small part of me, I have never been abused but there were times I felt that way. I will be dreading going through Nika's arc in the story, It will not be fun. But know this, I love all of my creations, and evil cannot get away with it's cruelty forever.
