She's a general worrywart and always has a bit of a perplexed expression on her face. Her bright colors make her a favorite perch for several color loving avians that like to use fur from her mane in their nest building.

did up an official reference for Spade with only change to how her mane looked like. been using this to beat through this art block I'm in and ... was kinda successful. used one of dominotwist's taxidermy lions as reference with permission. anatomy is still mucked up but i'm trying to not get so wrapped up in trying to get the anatomy perfect perfect and just get back into drawing. and trying to get my coloring/shading better.

original look found here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17417529/ can be drawn with either mane style. yanked the color tabs from the original picture lol.
