Eieio, Holly, and Aislinn - exaggerated walk!

Three characters here.

Firstly, we have Eieio Salali. He's just been reunited with his sister (long story) He has been hurt, and has some bruises and injuries, but being reunited with his sister, and meeting Holly Oleson. Despite their young ages (still single digits), they believe they have feelings for each other (kind of like the couple in Ponyo) His clothing was a bit torn when he was found, he was given a fresh sarong, because also, his upper body is a bit sensitive too (until he heals) Also, he's an Oriotri, that race have squirrel-like tails, and the males have visible horns. His are silver.

Next, we have Holly Oleson. Her outfit wouldn't look out of place in either Avonlea or Walnut Grove, other than being barefoot here (and she now wears modern footwear). She and her sister come from a group of people who are descended from some Prairie families who were taken to another planet back in the 1880s, so the way they dress didn't change much (but things did happen, preferred length of skirt/dress would fluctuate, and colored bloomers/pnatalettes/drawers became a thing) She has feelings for Eieio, despite not knowing much what love is (but her older sister is engaged, maybe that helps) She's wearing the most clothing here, with a blouse, dress/pinafore, underdress, and bloomers. She loves having her hair in braids.

Finally we have Aislinn Salali, the (slightly) older sister of Eieio. She was rescued by the group Spiral Comet from being sold into slavery or worse. Like Eieio, she's an Oriotri, however, the females have their "horns" grow hair on them. She's wearing an ohi, which kind of resembles a nightgown, but decorated more elaborately. The trillium-like flower (which we may as well call the Oriotri's Trillium) is a very important symbol to her people, hence why there are some on her ohi. As is tradition, there are bells attached to the hem of her ohi. This is not a fully traditional ohi though, it was a new one so she'd have more clothing to wear, it was lovingly put together by Holly and Marissa (Holly's older sister). Also, she has taken to wearing underdresses (underohis?), because that's what her "new sisters" Holly and Marissa do, but nope, she has NOT embraced bloomers.

Also, here I must thank @JMBdraws because she was the one who gave Aislinn a squirrel-like tail, I decided it looked much better than the tail I originally gave her.

If you are wondering, firsly, they are NOT doing any kind of "kick-dance", their legs will NOT fully extend. They're walking together in an exaggerated manner with their knees lifted. I had a dream where some anime intro showed all the characters walking like this towards the viewer. The reason for the angle of their legs? Two of them, actually.

1) Firstly, it's a tribute to @nightfishy 's picture I commissioned

(see Pollyanna in the middle)
2) But it's also because of how they're dressed. Only Holly has bloomers, so I have their legs positioned so that certain things are not seen by the general public.

These characters are from my story the Spiral Comet. When this went up (March 7, 2026), Eieio hadn't yet been found. But he will be.

Also, decided they'd all be wearing floral crowns...just to celebrate!
