I'll see if I can remember! :o I made her over half a decade ago you see, so this art of her is pretty old also ^w^; still like it tho!
I guess I sorta wanted to be unique and make my own sorta species, but I ended up with a sorta hybrid instead ^-^; I was super new to creating characters and even my own species at the time (well I did actually do a few made up creatures for my virtual pet site) that I didn't really know that hybrids don't really count as an own original species until I read and learnt about it ^w^; so Neon was basically a border collie who had a bit of unicorn here and there, so that's why I called her hybrid species a unicollie, get it? X3 she was my first magic user too and it was my first time owning a character that knew magical powers, besides the ones that can change from animal to kemonomimi and back, since Neon could do more you see :3 but her magical abilities were in huge development at the time and I was tryna be careful not to make her a marysue, cos that can happen if you ain't careful <=D I'm back to using her and developing her now, gonna completely rework her magical abilities cos I can't remember her old, and I'm gonna try and add onto that very basic personality she's always had, which was kind, helpful, and dislikes unappreciation. I am working on my own unique species however! it's called a fluffagon and it's basically like an eastern dragon but very catlike, foxlike, and weasel like aswell, along with some unique features of its own like their tails, manes, and the way their ears are :D i should make more fluffagons, i'll try and make some you can adopt once I make their species sheet ^w^ sorry this was long! there is quite the history when it comes to species making, and Neon was part of that. also since I have a more developed universe now thanks to the magic school and its wizard teacher Alfie, i think i'm a bit better at developing mage characters than before now ^w^
