🚨HxH- Chimera Arc Spoilers - Neferpitou and Kite
Neferpitou: listens to Won’t Bite, will in fact bite.
Honestly had such a fun time designing an outfit for them. Will maybe try another with more non canon fits in the future. Pitou on the right is aesthetically based on the Egyptian lion god Nefertem, son of Bast - a cat goddess. Nefertem was associated with the blue lotus flower - water lily.
I enjoy drawing pitou androgynous and using they/them pronouns. In the manga the character is referred to as “he” and in the anime, “she” is used, though more often than not “they” is substituted. Shout out to this villain’s beautifully complex gender and to hunter x hunter for having the queerest coded characters I could get my grubby lil gay hands on.
