Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mandatory Fields
01. Name: Meriel
02. Gender: Female
03. Stage: Full-Cycle (preferable, but I think an Adult-Only would be totally fun too)
04. Animal: Blue Dragon Sea Slug -- Glaucus atlanticus
(also known as Blue Sea Slug and Dragon Sea Slug)
05. Personality: Keyword: Snarky.
Very outgoing, Meriel is not afraid to say what's on her mind, though what IS on her mind is usually of the sarcastic or witty type. She is very teasing, and this is sometimes a downfall as it's just her way to cope and deal with stress (and awkwardness). This bundle of energy is all about laying it all out there and taking it for what it's worth. .
06. Adult Stage Outfit: Well, I'll submit something, but I am not -OMG SO ATTACHED- to the specific outfit. I like putting things in artists' capable hands more often than not… but here's a kind of suggestion of what I "see" for her. What imagined her to wear is more "scanty", but layered – kind of like the Spanish inspired with the ruffles and layers and flowy. Gaia (and tektek *evil glare*) doesn't do the best with this, sadly. And jewelry. Flamboyant in the clothing department, maybe marke-up if she doesn't get the face marking (below)
+ .x. – this tektek is just a sample (and it sucks).
+ For the kind of outfit, THIS is a MUCH better example, only with a couple different-color layers. But that gives the idea of still not having much on, but having the kind of ruffle and different layers from the Spanish influence.
+ Would like some color-play, depending on skin, hair, and eyes (I do like pink, and I am not ashamed xD)
+ A lot of the references are actually lingerie… nothing wrong with that. I love pretty lingerie! .x. | .x. | .x.

Customisation Fields
Specific Traits:
+ Cerata (pseudo-limbs): I would love for her to keep some of the cerata. It would also work well with the hands as longer, cerata-like fingers. .x.
+ "Whiskers": Ideally, corner of the lips for sure. Maybe forehead ones. .x.
+ Face Marking: Just the parallel blue stripes down the face, connected (hopefully) along the lips, along with the whiskers? .x.
Skintone: Up to Artist –
+ Option 1: Since the sea slug's skin is white-silver and blue, I will pay extra if the artist is inspired to that instead of natural human-gaia colors. .x.
+ Option 2: The darkest gaia-base natural skin? (whatever number or color that might be xD) If you try that and it just doesn't look good, I trust the judgement of the artist.
Hair: Up to Artist…would like a progression (so it's a little different each stage), but ultimately, your call… because I really have nooooo idea. Just not bald, please
Eyes: Up to Artist… but as these guys don't have eyes… I'll pay extra for like a pink-red (I tend to think if they did have eyes, they'd be more "albino") – and "exotic" looking eyes are fine by me (slanted or… uh… whatever) xD
Other Specifications:
+ Glasses: Do glasses count as a specification? I would love for her to have like sexy glasses xD Another reason for that, too, is since these animals don't have eyes, that she's practically blind and cannot see without her smexy super-powered (special) glasses. Of course, at the child age, they don't have to necessarily be sexy glasses, just glasses will do
+ Mer-tail: Unless this is something that the artist doesn't really want to do. Honestly, I could go either with or without. It's just totally up to the artist .x. or .x.
Pose Suggestions:
+ (if Baby): Gaping mouthed sea slug <3
+ (if Child): Chewing on either her tail or one of her cerata
+ (if Teen): Almost like she's playfully adjusting her glasses
+ (if Adult): Rather suggestive or as if she knows something about "you" that you don't want her to know

Possible Extras Recap: (all are at artist discretion)
Mer .x.
Skintone
Wings? (would cerata be considered wings? I have no idea)
Pattern .x.

Additional Notes: I just wanted to mention that I absolutely love and am slightly obsessed with these awesome creatures. I find it so fun that almost nothing was known about these little dudettes (I don't know what to call them, they are really hermaphrodites <3 ), but now there is so much information on them! If you have ANY questions about them, I would be more than happy to talk about these little dahlings.
