a small ref for my shapeshifter that i use to represent myself in my art

i guess i'll take the time to explain her a little bit here

i've had this character since about 2008-2009? idk i honestly forgot but she's easily my oldest character that i still actively draw

she has no physical sex but identifies as female. same for all of her forms
she has infinite possibilities to what she can turn into, but the three i drew here are the main ones (the other more common ones are cat, moth, vulture, and owl. i do have designs for those but i just didn't draw them)
hachi doesn't transform on her own will. none of her forms are aware of each others existence

she has very vivid and life-like dreams. she sleeps for days at a time because she's unable to wake herself up. while in her dreams she is pursued by nameless (a white dog), monochrome (her doppelganger), and monster (a giant ichorous beast-thing that is consisted of dripping black liquid and also has the ability to change shape, albeit in a very distorted fashion)
while in her dream state numerous things occur to her. her scar catches fire when under stress and she also seeps black liquid from her mouth, nose, and eyes for similar reasons. as a bull she has broken chains attached to her horns. she is also incredibly violent in that form while in her dream state.
i have designs for all of these as well
in her dream state she can be drawn in any color scheme

shes a homoromantic asexual and is generally afraid of being in love
she's pretty much afraid of everything though (she's really only confident in her cat form)

the scar on her chest only appears as a dog and bull. i'll post more about the other characters i mentioned at a later time i guess

also i hope you all understand that i have issues typing a coherent sentence
holy shit this is long i'm leaving now
