Name: Layla
(Nickname: Ife (EE-fay))

ARTIST INFO:


Height: 4'10"

Age: Appears in late-teens to early twenties, despite
her small stature.

Eyes: Crystalline blue.

Hair: Raven black with bangs. two clumps that frame her face and fall over her shoulders reaching just past her breast. She also has her hair usually in a low ponytail that can either be swept over EITHER shoulder or falling in the back. Falls in one, gently curling ringlet. Very thick hair. Falls just past her knee.

NOTE: her hair DOES change color, black in the summer and white in the winter. You can draw it either way. When it's white, it simply fall straight.

Here is a helpful link to watch if you don't know how to draw ringlets! Watch it to make yourself a better artist, ne? : )
Hair Tutorial.
This is very basic. Feel free to experiment.


Ears: Her ears are the same color as her flesh. Almost catlike but instead of being on the top of her head they ARE ON THE SIDE. Fur fluff sticks out of her ears and there is pink inside.

Tail: Her tail is very bushy and furry and black and spiraling! It reaches to the floor (quite long)! Usually curls ever so slightly at the end.
(OR WHITE IF HER HAIR IS WHITE)

Skin: Layla's skin is FLESH not fur. She is not a furry D';
Her skin is a dimgray color. On the edges of her arms, legs, waist, and face, she has a rosette pattern very similar to a leopard!! These range in color from various hues of blue and black and are VERY dim.

Teeth: White like a normal person' s but with abnormally pointed upper and lower canines.

Nails:
Her nails are black and slightly sharper.

Body Type: Layla is busty and hippy with a thinner waist. She is very muscular and healthy. She relies on her body to hunt and survive.

Note: Her feet are very TINY.


Clothing: Nothing modern, like t-s**t and jeans. Her attire could range from fantasy to elegant but should display as much skin as possible. You can even draw her unclothed, though be sure that it's still *ahem* appropriate.

She usually doesn't like to have her feet covered. Ever. But if you can make it work then go for it! And she loves, loves, loves feathers.

Other Information:


Some character quirks~
♥Enjoys interjecting with completely random and unusual facts that have no real-life value. (I.e. Did you know that the voice actor for bugs bunny was allergic to carrots?)
♥Speaks in an exotic, although untraceable, accent.Thought to be a dialect from some region of Africa
♥Can amuse herself for short lengths at a time with completely random, everyday objects
♥Knows very little of how to read/write
♥English is her second language
♥She goes barefoot constantly
♥Used her body as a tool since she was a child and it shows; crafty and enduring. Very adaptive in survival situations. Especially the wild.
♥Very instinctual, at times appears more animal than human
♥Not good with technology. At all.
♥She can go for long periods of time with no food or water
♥Odd aversion to house cats

♥Unaccustomed to being around people
♥Incredibly alert at all time. Always smelling/listening
♥Takes great delight in frightening people who are afraid of her by making sly remarks of 'eating them'
♥Distrustful of most people
♥She's quite theatrical with the threats and the growls. She's typically harmless....typically.
♥Constantly has internal battles with her human and animal instincts
♥Morality and cultural 'do's and dont's' confuse her. She feels that what is morally ethic is only stymied from the cultural 'whats-what' pushed upon children at a young age.
♥She doesn't get religon
♥Is actually incredibly intellectual and social when you get her talking
♥She adores feathers and soft materials (Velvet/silk/satin especially)
♥Like a child, she is very curious and wide-eyed. Has to touch and feel every new thing and -sometimes- person.
