8 Questions About Your Characters Physical Appearance

1. How do they style their hair?

ERIN: Cuts her own bangs, typically ties her mane under a traditional short Pollicle headscarf called a Mütze, similar to a Jewish tichel, though Erin never bothers to keep all of her mane in (unlike her twin sister Mitzi, who prefers to keep her mane in tight traditional Pollicle double braids). Her favorite Mütze come in bright colors like orange or purple or black (the Pollicle color of joy). Probably washes her hair with laundry soap.

SETHY: Sethys breed has very thick hair, and early on she doesn't care for her hair at all. Her mane is full of fleas and barely growing in at the beginning. By the end, Sethy has learned how to get the fleas out and how to comb her rapidly growing mane. She does not like how heavy it is or how it gets in her eyes, and she'd rather cut it.

2. What kind of clothing do they wear?

ERIN: Dresses in the clothes of a working-class Pollicle serf. Pollicles are typically nomadic and famous for their horse breeding, so an Alsatian Pollicle would traditionally wear pants, but Erin prefers brightly-colored long skirts with wide sleeves, tied at the waist with a Pollicle belt. Erins dresses come in bright painted or beaded geometric patterns, and she wears no jewelry. Erin favors both traditional and statement outfits, as much as she can afford. Her favorite part of her clothing is her vest, which she likes because it is a convenient place for pockets.

SETHY: Unlike most kittens her age, Sethy does wear clothes. It's unusual for any kittens besides the upper class to wear clothes. Sethy dresses modestly, mostly because she gets her clothes from a serf cobbler instead of the family tailor. She is not very good at making clothes that fit, so she wears large, shapeless dresses and tunics, and covers her head with a large scarf: partly to hide her face at her mother's request, and also because she is photosensitive.

3. Do they wear makeup? What kind?

ERIN: Erin has never seen lipgloss in her life.

SETHY: It's safe to assume Sethy has yet to discover eyeliner, buy when she does: watch out

4. Do they consider themselves fat or skinny?

ERIN: Erin considers herself very wide for a German Shepherd her age, though she is likely just above ideal weight, and her stockiness is mostly accounted for because of her broad shoulders.

SETHY: Skinny, far too skinny

5. What's their nationality?

ERIN: British, formerly German

SETHY: British

6. Do they have any birthmarks?

ERIN: Beauty mark under her left eye, identical to Mareikes.

SETHY: The crescent moon mark, fairly common in both cats and dogs. Because Sethy is albino, it shows up very pale and faint.

7. What is their skin tone?

ERIN: Her original, more humanoid design showed Erin with very warm-toned dark skin. Now, Erin has sort of "coppery" tan-and-black fur typical of her breed.

SETHY: albino.

8: What's their face shape?

ERIN: Identical to Mareike. Wide face with flared cheek fur, large round eyes, short forehead, tall pointed ears, and a long, crooked nose.

SETHY: Sethy has the typical angular head, large pointed ears, almond shaped eyes, and wedge face of most Siamese-adjacent breeds. Described as having "hollow cheeks" and a "gentle hooked nose".
