We can just pretend this isn't the laziest reference I've ever made for any character shhhhhh

This character was designed for me by my babe NIS, as a mash-up of my three favorite things; deer, giraffes, and redheads. It is a very vague character, without a particular gender, or really even a particular name. It has a few nicknames of sorts that it goes by-- Deeraffe, Macaroni, Prince Lee-- but neither of us has ever really decided what to actually call it. And since it's gone on so long like this, I figure I might as well just keep it this way xD

There's a lot of artistic freedom allowed with this character and I draw it differently just about every single time. Its mane can be styled however, its spots can be wherever, its gender can be whatever. That one star spot is the only important part ♥

My deeraffe has a koala companion, who belongs to NIS and is also nameless-- they're really sweet and snuggly and always try to make each other laugh and fix each other's booboos. The koala is always female.
