Tia Dharling - Full Ref by Lapseph

Tia Dharling - Full Ref

Lapseph

As per the original sketch, I usually have Tia outwardly present as a Jackalope... or even as a regular rabbit wearing a set of funny antlers on a headband as an eccentricity... with a covering or glamour to hide her wings. In some settings just for the mystery of it before revealing... and in others to hide the fact she's a "mythical creature" even though there's nothing otherwise naturally mystical about the species. I have given her an array of mystical powers? Mostly illusion... but those aren't meant to be there as an aspect of the species, just an aspect of Tia herself and the things she's learned and practiced on her own. :p

This is also why, in images where she's actually dressed up and not running around nude... that I put a bunch of trinkets in her antlers. I mean... I also did it because I thought it was a neat and funny idea, but... XD Lore-wise? They're there to throw off observers. Because it makes her look kind of ridiculous. So obviously those can't be Real antlers! They're just putting on a show for attention! And... they are? XD Just for multiple reasons.

I otherwise dressed her in something akin to the attire of a circus ringmaster, but I used less flashy colors... partly to blend better with her fur pattern/colors, and partly because I only wanted her to stand out so much. During a show, she might up the scale on the colors and such, wear something flashier? But for her "walking around clothes" I thought I'd tone it back a bit. She wants to stand out, sure, but not THAT MUCH all the time? XD

There is meant to be a story behind all the little trinkets she hangs from her antlers, but I just haven't decided upon all of them yet and few people have really asked, so... :p Though some of them are also just little jokes and referential nods, because I'm a big dumb. In the FATE campaign we were given insignia pins to wear on our clothes as an identifier of our organization, but upon considering it, Tia would just hang that from her antlers too. XD But I hadn't made an edit to add that yet...
