Leolin (list of names in bio)

We've been doing some Minecraft skin editing yesterday and today, and it's going better than it has before. We found a mod for adding extra body parts called Ears by @unascribed (thanks to a post by @twilight-sparkle) which really broke through our sticking point with the baseline skin functionality.

It's been interesting learning how to make things work. It's very cartoony in a way, you pick the features you want to emphasise and exaggerate them to make them readable at low pixel density. These two's biggest issue now is the difficulty making readable points, but that's something we can work around.

We might attempt some more advanced shading in the future, but this is a completely usable skin. The mask shape was kinda hard to make work, but the snout definitely helps a bit.

I added my wings to my Minecraft skin, since I didn't have them when Kharaya-do and Luna made it. Still haven't actually played with them properly (we did some testing to make sure they work¹).

1. There were actually a couple of bugs that we should verify haven't been patched, then report.

To be clear this is Tanwen! Just, transformed into a copy of me :3 The clothes are the first clue, but the really proof is in the asterism,¹ which constinues to shine through no matter what masks, transformations, or illusion magic you throw at it.² The reason she doesn't have wings is that the twinning ritual didn't make her a demon. That's Tanwen as regular-old-mortal Cradle.

1. That is, the stars on her face.

2. If Sparkles can't hide something with an illusion, if Sparkles can't even dim something with an illusion... That's certainly something.

Crradle doesn't think anyone's asked Crradle this beforre, meow.

So in terrms of florragato specifically, the two big things that called out to Crradle arre the yo-yo, and the implicit rretention of sprrigatito's rrelaxing paw scent, meow. Overr time though, Crradle's also grrown to aprreciate being grreen, mew. It's not a colourr Crradle would necessarrily have chosen, but it sets Crradle aparrt frrom Crradle's headmates, and does actually look prretty nice, meow.

As an imp... it's prrobably the corruption, nya. Naively stumbling into becoming something that is seen as wrrong, as inherrently corrupt, and finding Crradle feeling morre Crradle than everr, meow. Wait, is this all a trransgenderr allegorry, mew!? This keeps happening, meow! Otherrwise, Crradle'd add that being a imp makes Crradle the smallest and most bullyable kind of demon, mew.

Bonus rround, the best thing about being a lynx is the earr tufts, meow. The second best thing is the superr bigs pawses, mew.

Bonus rround two, being otherrkin / therrian means that Crradle gets to experrience all of these like this, meow. And being plurral means that Crradle's system get to experrience being all of us, meow.

Also Crradle is a kitty, nya. That's imporrtant, meow.
