Clay Doll
❈ Name: Clay Doll
❈ Nickname: Slip (named for the clay and water suspension used in pottery and ceramic making, not sure if this is too specific for Matope)
❈ Type: Female Kimeti
❈ Growing: Non-Growing
❈ Edits: Edited!
- Horn edit (round off horns so they're short stumpy)
- Backspine and face scale removal
- Soft, rounded ears (I love the ears on
Crabshell)
- Eye edit (I've seen a few does with larger eyes but can't for the life of me remember their names!
mad )
Really the sky is the limit on her edits and I may just want to go for an overpixel so the colorist has the freedom to work how they want to instead of off a list of instructions. I did some doodles but nothing really came out that was really 'her' yet - I may wait to draw her properly until after she's 'official'.
❈ Appearance: 
Clay Doll looks like how she sounds - a body formed from the clay lining the riverbanks and borne from the silty water in the swamp. She's small, with rounded and delicate features. Her pelt is pale and her pink-red eyes are large and milky. She's largely unadorned by markings, with a general look about her that kin who aren't paying close attention may describe as plain. Overall, her color helps her blend in well with her environment and makes it easy for her to hide.
Her backside may be dappled with white or off-white spots, similar to a fawn, but I'm not sure about this. Maybe up to the colorist about what they think looks the best.
❈ Personality: Slip is passive, shy, and speaks so little that other kin may assume that she is mute. Her diet consists mostly of fruit and tubers that grow in the swamp's waters. She prefers to watch other kin from a distance rather than interact with them directly.
Due to her extremely introverted personality and fear of social interaction, she may or may not end up breeding (unless there is a lot of RP involved!
heart ).
❈ Naming Dream: Not sure about this one yet - want to think of one that matches her weird, unfinished aesthetic.
