19 years ago, I drew a little cheetah girl named Tia. Since then, I have been working on her story, and she has made a lot of friends along the way.... and foes. Tia is the reason I continue to draw and write stories, since she is the beginning of it all. Yes, Tia is the very first OC I ever drew. Happy 19th birthday, Tia Cheetah. I'm glad God decided to put you into my mind to draw that fateful day.
