Ugh.

Sup everyone! I took a short break, but now I’m back after about a month away. During that time, I’ve been sketching ideas, and today I wanted to share a draft of a new Monster Pal concept. This one is called a Clarise. (Cluh- Rize)

Most communities of Clarise are well known—sometimes infamous—for their presence. When a group of them moves into an area, you *definitely* notice. They’re loud, energetic, and impossible to ignore. Normally, Clarise are friendly, mischievous pranksters who enjoy harmless tricks, playful chaos, and surprising their neighbors. Their antics can be annoying at times, but rarely dangerous.

Lately, however, something strange has been happening. Reports suggest that many Clarise have begun acting differently—more aggressive, more hostile, and in some cases downright malicious. Some even display behavior that borders on cruelty, which is deeply unusual for the species. No one is quite sure what’s causing this sudden shift, and it has left many communities uneasy.

Thankfully, **Ramah** hasn’t been affected by whatever is influencing the others. In fact, she is oddly calm compared to the typical hyperactive Clarise. While most of her kind bounce from place to place like sparks of living lightning, Ramah tends to observe first and act second, giving her a more balanced and approachable temperament.

Ramah is the **fifth member** of her group and displays the classic Clarise coloration: soft reddish-pink fur blended with bluish-white patches that shimmer slightly in bright light. Around her neck, she wears a well-loved brown scarf decorated with small yellow star patterns. The scarf drapes across her chest, shoulders, and upper back, both as a comfort item and a subtle mark of identity among her companions.

Physically, Ramah stands about **2½ feet tall at the shoulder** and measures roughly **4 feet in total length** from nose to tail. She weighs somewhere between **30 and 40 pounds**, though it’s difficult to be certain without a proper animal scale—especially since Clarise tend to squirm and fidget whenever someone tries to measure them.

Well, I got a spoiler that Ramah died (but tbf it was a comment on a yt video) so it didn't really shock me that much (it was still sad tho) but, like everyone else I have some ✨thoughts✨ abt it.

But when Jesus said "it is not her time" when Thomas begged for Him to bring Ramah back, perhaps He meant for her to rise from the dead the moment Jesus Himself dies on the cross.

The verse in the Bible itself says that this applies to saints, but I can totally see Dallas include this moment in such a way.

I can vividly imagine that in his newfound mission to expose Jesus, Kafni will come to stand face to face with his risen daughter unexpectedly, which causes him to believe at last.

Jesus and Simon Peter! Because of course Jesus can’t have a single moment of peace with this man around him.

Ramah, Mary Magdalene and Matthew! They are studying the Torah together, be quiet! They have much to learn still!

Philip and Andrew, probably discussing John the Baptizer’s fate in the dungeons of Herodes’ castle. Or maybe speaking about some of Jesus’ teachings. Who knows? No one is away to find out.
