Description

Edit: I've added her other form there as well. This one has more kirin-like features like the gravity-defying mane and tail, plus some scales on her legs. (/edit)

(tip-ah-nah)

I've had this character in mind for a while and she's always something I can draw when I'm in an art block. I did post a picture of her a while back, but I've finally created her personality and backstory. The name Tipana doesn't mean anything specific, it just sort of came to me.

    Once, there was a forest. This forest was different than the rest because it had a mind and a conscience. It could communicate with all of the creatures that lived within it, and it would protect them with all its might. Though the forest cared for all of its residents, there was one that it loved most of all-- a woman that lived in a small cabin. This woman had lived her whole life in the forest, helping take care of the plants and animals, while in return getting nourishment from the fruits and seeds of the forest.
    One day, while the woman was watering her garden, a group of men entered wearing construction uniforms. They explained to her that the forest's entire land had been bought by a company and that they planned to clear out the area. The woman refused at once, explaining that the forest could feel them and that it wanted them to leave. Disregarding her words, the men gave the woman twenty-four hours to move out so they could claim the land.
    Once they left, the woman wept. The forest told her to save herself and leave, but she vowed to stay with it until her last breath.
    Twenty-four hours passed, and the men returned once again with bulldozers. The woman hid under her bed as she heard the machines grow closer. As she bid farewell to the forest, her house collapsed, and her life was taken. This made the forest furious, and gathering all its strength, it grabbed the machines with roots and vines and crushed them. It absorbed the remaining contents into the ground, but even after they were gone, the forest was still not happy.
    It decided to bring back the woman, giving her a new body in order to help keep the forest safe. Her spirit took on this new form, a pure white kirin, and she was dubbed the Forest Guardian.


So that was how Tipana came to be. She is invisible to all except animals and children. She also has a larger, more powerful form that I call her Divinity Form, which will be posted sooner or later.

Enjoy, and have a happy Monday :dummy:
