Alright... so I'm glad I started this process as it means this could be a fun event for the whole board!

So for this next phase I think I like the idea of a Cat girl in a bunny hood/hairband/etc type appearance. I think that fits. So let's just run with that core concept to save us some time.

I'm thinking we need to hit 3 key themes:

-She should fit the Dark/Fairy Appereance
I'm thinking since have 2 sets of ears we could make where humans ears would be horns? or maybe scales? Also we could give her long finger/toe claws or something? Think outside of the box on this one.
To fit the fairy appearance I'm kinda sold on fluffly little wings! However as long as you do something that accomlished a 'fairy theme' element we'll be fine!

-She should have hair that is colored like fire. Reds and Yellows.. Since Kafuka is all about fire themes in it's first stage of it's life. I leave the rest to you!

-The clothing shouldn't be overly sexy. If you want a 'sexy' apperence it should be subtle and etc. I am not fond of 'sexy' branding as it looks soo tacky. The clothing should be 100% unique and fit her. I'm thinking for the dark theme we could go with formal attire too if you like. She should at least have a full top and a skirt that goes above the knee (shorts can be shorter than this.. but only just).. She can have shoes or not.. they can be fancy dress shoes, or just some hi tops. I leave that all up to you!

I'm thinking maybe she should also have Phanto theme of some kind. Maybe taking my broken phanto mask up herself.. or maybe as jewelry!

Other than her hair.. all the other color choices are yours!

I have to state this: I reserve final judgement on this. I'll be the one to decide if we adopt it officially or not. Also any changes I may request near at the final stanges will be non-negotiable (but I doubt I'll need to exercise this clause. I am putting it here just in case)

I want you guys to work hard on this.. and come up with at least 2 competing designs.. so we can vote. I also want to work together and suggest stuff to each other so it really is a community built mascot.

When the design is final I will take it to an artist of my choosing to have drawn all pretty. (I May take donations at that point too)

Alright I think that's enough to get started. Good luck.. you're going to need it!

Here is a tool than you could you to prototype!

(It's a javascript tool and may have some loading issues.)

Yup. We need some phanto design on her. The dress or a hairpin sounds really good places for it.

Random suggestion: How about light purple or ice blue eyes?

Why not both indeed! Phantos all around!

Excellent suggestions for the colors.. We can try a whole bunch and see what works!

Indeed. I think we have a good start! We may want to fancy up the dress still even without a hair clip. Maybe we can get some kinda of 8-bit pattern on it? Those style dresses can have patterns..

I like that idea! We need a little bit of green for my side of the equation! Please do

Also for artists I'd like to see if @thatsheepagain (style is the full Norkio in the right side of this post) Would anyone have any objections to this?

Haru is currently on vacation but we could go with them when they return. I don't have any matching Noriko styles other than the emotes. My Patreon gift image I'm not going to use for anything as it's a one off. Also there are a few other people I could ask but those are the two really big ones that have open commissions.

I'm still more fond of Sheep's style personally for this particular even due how her style would work for it's pure cuteness.

So that's one Haru (This layout has some of their art) and one for Sheeps.

Note: Also one or both could turn us down too. So keep that in mind
