This was something lingering in my sketchbook from my group therapy meetings a while back.

I was kinda mulling over the idea of another 'Sona character that was a parakeet. The inspiration being that;
-parakeets really don't do well alone
-they need some pretty constant stimulation, to a point where it's best to swap their toys every now and again
-they "talk" a lot
-can get really stressed out

and hi, hello, I am also those things
so the idea would that he's a parakeet who tends to carry around any number of little sensory toys to keep his hands busy or to keep him grounded. I'm always carrying like, fidget toys, small plushes, beaded crafts, just stuff that feels good in my hands. I'm better about it now, but at the time I felt really embarrassed over it, so fiddling with a character who also had that trait was kinda nice. I've been feeling a little self conscious about it again, so I thought I'd back and develop him a little more.

no name yet, but that's mostly just because it's literally just me. So I just kinda see it as another alt-'Sona
(sets him on top of the pile of other male OC's that are literally just me)
