I’m adding a few more snake miraculouses in this AU, so I took away Sass’s hood to make him more distinct & read more generically ‘snake’.

Parts of the design, like the golden accents and arrow-tail are references to proverbs about time.

(光阴似箭, 日月如梭) Time flies like an arrow, days and months like a shuttle; time passes quickly.

(寸光阴一寸金, 寸金难买寸光阴) "An inch of time is an inch of gold, but an inch of gold can't buy an inch of time,"

The snake miraculous is this AU can also rewind objects and replay past events & memories.

Trixx’s design is based on the Nine-Tailed Fox or jiǔwěihú (九尾狐), the multiple colors of each ‘tail’ is to indicate that it’s actually three tails wrapped into one. I also wanted the neck fluff to look like a scarf, it gives a wispy feeling.

In this post I was trying to make a balanced design that incorporated the tails without seeming like it’s too much compared to the body. In the show, Alya seems to like trying out different costume variants, so I think it’d be cute if Trixx did that with various tail-styles.

Alya wonders if she's supposed to have had a second thought about the superhero-ing. She knows Ladybug had; anxiety about her responsibilities bleeds out of her, sometimes. Not often, but in the hard fights. But Alya… She’d become a hero the first time when her little sisters were akumatized. She’d worried about them, about how they’d feel afterwards, if somehow they’d be hurt despite Ladybug always fixing everything. But she hadn’t worried about losing, or failing, or how to use her powers. She’d leapt, and Trixx had caught her, and that had been that. It was a little like falling for Nino, or the night she’d launched the Ladyblog. Almost too fast, too short, but so so good. Right. Exactly where she wants to be. Her illusion filling her mind—first her part: the place her sisters would kill to go, then second: Trix building a perfect image filling details and making light bend—then filling its space in the world. Trix catching her again. Keeping up with her and more. Marinette is Alya’s best friend. Best human friend. Probably still best, and she's definitely a bigger part of her life. But Trixx— Alya isn’t sure anyone has ever kept up with her in quite that way. So quickly, so automatically.

Trixx is now my favorite Kwami.

You sent me the same link twice? I know the IDs are different but they go to the same post? Sublimation and Vampigami?
