I kept forgetting to upload this girl! I have had this character in my mind for a several months now - she is completely mute, but expresses herself through changing colors of her fur. Originally I had intended for her to glow and have her markings change colors that way, but ultimately I decided instead to keep her non-glowing but to have her fur itself change colors. Although she can control the color of her fur with a bit of concentration, it is most often a color that reflects her current mood. When she is calm, it is often very muted, pale colors. When she sleeps the color drains and she turns almost completely black, so that her stripes show even lighter than her fur itself.

Even though she does not speak, she is quite feisty and is not afraid to express her opinion. :)
