This is Zahara (called Zee by some) from the comic The Xiervy . She's a pink, feline-ish species of mine called "Xiervy" (pronounced chi-err-vee). I created her (starting with her animal form) as a mascot of sorts, but she has somehow become my flagship character. Far too many friends and family loved her so much that it was decided that she was to be featured in a comic, an entire world formed for her. Not an easy task, I assure you. My friends and family set the bar high for her, far higher than I had ever would have imagined. I'm still smarting from the explosion.

In any case, I introduce Zee to you. The reason I haven't posted her here before is that she once had an anthro form that I had to pull out of the comic for the sake of my drawing hand. It would have been far too much work for her, and all the other characters in the series, to have three different forms switching back and forth. Her anthro form still lives in my heart and I might make a collage of older versions of such if enough of you wish to see what it looked like.
