Beware how the forgotten places of the world shift when the sun goes down, show caution to strange maidens lighting the way on misty nights, and take care around quiet, secluded businesses offering their hospitality hours after the moon has risen.

An addition has been made to Mochi's story, though the character is largely remaining unchanged. It explains the reason she can do the many impossible things she does, why she tastes like desserts and such. She runs a bakery but manages to fuck off and not actually do much work and yet somehow doesn't go out of business. She's lazy, insatiably hungry, kind of bitchy and egotistical, and loves to get others to do work for her and swoon over her. Yet there are also pretty reliable ways to get on her good side, she's not actively cruel, and there are plenty of times her trickery comes back to bite her.

Mochi is Yokai, a cousin to the Tanuki, and to announce this new development I commissioned a piece of her taking six different shapes, demonstrating her ability to bend reality, her power, and so on. This piece is just breathtaking; I'm absolutely in love with it.

The six shapes featured here are:
1. The one you're all already familiar with.
2. A beautiful oiran.
3. Her feral shape, the wild red panda she once was before she became yokai.
4. A human enforcer, for when she needs to look tough while keeping a low profile.
5. A small shrine spirit, dedicated to caring for the land of her shop (and maintaining the illusion over it).
6. An Oni, for when her patience has completely run out.
