WOW! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

I created Cari on July 5th, 2003... it's been twenty YEARS!

Cari is 20 years old today! Oh man, I got so much to explain about this girl! She was created as the first child between my very first character Ryan (nicknamed Bat) and my first female Bristy (nicknamed Knife). I married Bat and Knife at the urging of a friend and eventually I decided to give them a child. That child turned into a daughter named Cari (named after a very good friend of mine). I was still in high school at the time and I drew art with pencils, ball-point pens, and colored pencils.

As the years went by, she went through several changes (I wouldn't say "design" changes, she just drew up) and she had many friends, such as a gray fox for a babysitter, a mongoose for a love-puppy boyfriend, and a few others such as her being a babysitter to other characters.

(By the way... the gray fox and the mongoose I mentioned above... they are no longer my friends)

As time went by, I designed her personality to be a math-nerd, a workout fanatic like her mom, and she joined Civil Air Patrol just like me in her teens. In addition, I gave her three younger siblings.

Now, 20 years later, so much has changed, with her life and with my life. Cari is now enrolled at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. Let's see where she goes from here.
