This is a character based off of someone from my real life. Long story short, Tamica was my very best friend back in middle and high school. We did everything together and she was the one who brought me out of my little shell. Sometime in our high school year, my ever changing life as well as hers let us slip away from eachother. I have longed to find her to this day. Until then, she can only exist in my mind and drawings. Tamica Monique Miller, if you are out there...give me a holla.

Tamica was originally going to be a panther or black leopard but sadly, with the color of her braids it would provide no real contrast. It was easy to change her into a lioness.
