So, many friends will know that when I care for someone I usually end up doing curls around as a way to show closeness and love. But I also almost physically feel that "proud momma bird" fluffed up feathers, swell with pride thing; for friends, loved ones, anyone I care about, even if we aren't friends.

So I was trying to figure out how i could incorporate this with/into Kaia's design. Perhaps neck feathers, in a neck ruff type of design, and then a secondary form as a fluffy dragon/snake creature (obviously haven't thought this out, just some ideas).

shrug I've been thinking about this for a while.....
