Old ref is here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8857381/

Decided to update Hiki's ref sheet with more information. Also made some changes to her colors, made them less eye-bleedingly bright due to my migraines. I really love her original color scheme, but it does hurt the eyes a little. XD

Art by me, background made by me as well. Her seasonal color change is a bit more dramatic now, as her neck tentacles and stripes also change color. Her eyes are now super pale blue, and her fur length undergoes a much bigger change between seasons.

Hiki is very dexterous, although she is very accident prone. Not very good with the hand/eye (or tentacle) coordination, she is very talented in cooking and mechanical work. Her eyes appear pupilless, though she has a pale grey "w" shaped pupil that is almost constantly contracted. She is considered 1/4 deaf and many sounds trigger intense headaches.

As for the nonbreeding female bit, she has many genetic anomalies and has decided not to breed and have her children potentially suffer as she does.
Space-raptors are the ultimate researchers, in fact they have all left their home planet so they can research it without disturbing the ecosystem. They live in massive planetary ships, each containing a dwarf planet. These ships are set up experimentally, with differing seasons, year lengths, and sun colors to see how life reacts on each. Once every three years a brood ship is visited by breeding members of the species, there they release small tentacles filled with genetic information into a brood pool. This nonsexual reproduction ensures genetic randomness between all members, and the young are cared for equally by all.
Space raptors come in many colors and patterns, and all feature green blood and flesh. Their skin ranges from super pale green to black, and the head tentacles and spots on the hind tentacles can be any color or pattern.

Much thanks to lyikah for making her original ref and helping me design her as a basic character. :)

Space raptors are a closed species and belong to me. Feel free to make a totally different alien critter, this particular amalgam of features is mine. :)
