Me! A little late for valentines but we don't celebrate it anyway.
I tried a lot of new techniques, jumped out the box and I really like how this came out!
When giving names, parents call their cubs by tribe name first, with their family name as a middle and a unique name as the last.
Maelo Naïlo Kees is her full name. She's from the Maelo (Maa-ae-low) Tribe. Her family name is Naïlo (Na-ee-low).
When they address each other by their unique name, they add "tal" at the end, hence, Keestal. This is a show of respect.
Mujatal, Seegntal, Tugtal, etc. Calling another by tribe or family name renders no change but is considered rude when used on its own.
Tsa'vu is a species of humanoid cat that lives in small villages made up of families and distant cousins.
Tsa'vu are a lion/siamese/tiger mix and come in many colors and patterns but never has one been born green, blue, red, purple or a combination of these. They all have stripes in some form or fashion with or without other patterns but their manes and tails range in length and style. Since their hair is coarse (and for some, naturally curly), some wear dreads.
Females are lighter pastels while the males are much darker and earthy in color to black.
There are many family tribes dotting the coastlines, open plains and deep within the jungle. Once a year a mass wedding is held for those who are of age. Males and females from all tribes gather together at the center of their homeland and remain for a month or until everyone who was single has at least one wife or husband. To the Tsa'vu it is better to marry early and have many wives than to risk outsider abuse and illegitimate cubs. They also marry this way because 80% of cubs born do not live past 3 months. Ceremonies, tradition, games and food all play a large role in finding the right mates and is very much looked forward to. Since it begins at the end of the year, the Tsa'vu use the wedding 'month' to celebrate and bring in the new year.
Her 'bells' are not really bells. They're solid gold balls with four grooves. They don't look perfect because her daddy hand-made em just for her. c: She's also not wearing her family spirit crest.
I'll add more to this later. I got a whole national geographic bio on her people lol.
If you're interested in making a Tsa'vu Cat PLEASE PLEASE Note me first because I'd like to keep a registrar of who is who. When the time is right I know I will be asking around is anyone would want to be a part of a project. c:
