Description

After realizing that my Sona's old design was pretty "lackluster" form me and practiquing more styles (and lore-writing), I decided to redesign my sona. Yes, I know that this change of design contrast pretty much the OG, but I did this change since after making a mass of images of myself in Picrew, I realized that my sona needed a new fresher look (and I also finally made her a "lore" of some sorts). So please, read the complete bio to know better about myself (*Note: Some facts may not appear here, and are in my "Meet the Artist" Drawing):

Name: Estefany-Squid
Species: Humanoid Squid
Age: 18 (Late Teen/Young Adult)
Birthday: June 28
Zodiac Sign: Cancer
Sex/Gender: Female (She/Her)
Sexual Orientation: Asexual Demiromantic
MBTI Type: ISFJ

Personality: Smart and very kind, Estefany-Squid may look like someone who doesn't like to make friends, but in really she wants to share her knowledge and creativity to the world. Her emotions are pretty strong (like feeling excited when someone talks about sometime she likes, feeling sad when she feels that failed in a task, etc), and altought that she still tries to make friends without scaring them with her peculiar way of being, even so, if she doesn't control herself, she'll need her friends to remind her what's happening. Most of the time, Estefany can be daydreaming and imaginating new stories and ideas to share in her art, a creativity she's proud of, but trying that it doesn't take over of her (because of past issues). She also has a great empathy and kidness, always feeling worried for her loved ones (even if these are inanimate objects), and if she sees that a friend of her feels sad, she'll encourage them with phrases and hopeful lessons she learned in her life to make them reflect and stand up again. She can be pretty grateful with those ones who inspire her or are kind to her, to the point she would be somewhat clingy, but trying to not be a pushover (that's why she feels embarrased when talking with her friends/inspirations most of the time). She can be calm, polite and silent most of the time, to the point if she's doing nothing, she'll take 1 or 2 naps at day if necessary. She's pretty smart, to the point of always wanting to gain more knowledge of the things she likes, and if you ask about her about an obscure franchise, prepare yourself for a long Lore-telling.

Abillities/Powers:

Drawing Skills: Estefany-Squid is pretty good at drawing and has been her hobbie since childhood, her style might not be the most professional, but she likes it and tries her best to get better in her style and ideas every daydreaming
Sharp Senses: She can hear some things better than some persons, can distinguish smells more sharply, her touching helps her as a second way of vision in darkness. But still, this capacity she has have problems too, like being pretty nervous when being touched, not resisting some smells or flavours, hearing things she doesn't want to know, etc.
Tentacle whip: Her “ponytail” that has 2 tentacles can be extendible, she can use her 2 tentacles as some extra hands (be it grab stuff, punch at distances). these can also spin rapidly to help her to fall more quietly (like Rayman's slow falling). The tentacles can also work as 2 whips to attack enemies and grab them to be trowed.
Suction cups: The suction cups she has in her arms, hands, legs and tentacle feet can help her to climb trough walls and other solids (like Gekko from PJ Masks)
Paint Magic (*Magical Paintbrush only): When having her Magical Paintbrush in her hands, she can make her paintings come to life and help her in fighting and such, altought, those creatures are somewhat weak and dissapear after a while. She can also use her Magical Paintbrush as a weapon (like Adeleine in KSA or the Inkbrush in the Splatoon games)

Backstory/Lore:

Estefany-Squid's part of the “Duchess” family (that's the family name btw), a family of good roots formed by Miss Bristle (Her mother, an humanoid pink-black Squid), Mister Duchess (her father, an humanoid blue Axolotl), Erin Bristle (her older sister, an humanoid pink Squid), and Enmanu Duchess (her younger brother, an humanoid cyan blue Axolotl). They live in Kamidon City, a place pretty particular knowed for being the place where many creatures of different origins live their day to day, something that caused many theories of that place attracts those type of people. Since being young, Estefany has desmotrated her creative-yet dreamer way of thinking and living, sometime her parents understanded by time. But one day, when she was in her primary school, she was 7 years old at the time, when playing in the playgroung on recess, she found a strange rip/hole on the floor, feeling curious, she started to look at it more near, but she got scared when the professor shouted to call the students, and falled accidentaly in that hole. The inside of the hole looked like the ocean fused with a starry nebula, a place that looked to have no end, Estefany closed her eyes in fear ... After waking up, she was in her beedroom, with her parents being worried for her and being happy that she woked up, they hugged her, but Estefany had no idea of what happened, she only remembered something like using a magical paintbrush to help a pink ball to go across a canvas-like world. Her parents explained that she went missing for 2 days after no one founded her in the school, and that she was founded in a hole, deep asleep and splashed with multicolored paint with a paintbrush with many colors in her hand ... Altought years passed, events happened, and she became a more experimented artist and kind and clever person to archieve her dreams, Estefany always wondered if that strange event of that hole was real or just a crazy dream of hers, even with the years she had more dreams about going to other worlds and feeling that everything was real. When she was questing in her old stuff, she found the paintbrush that she had in her hands when she was encountered, it was strange since ... The paintbrush looked exactly like the one from that dream. She thinked that it would be a coincidense, until she made a doodle of a star with eyes in a paper, the paper started to shine, and the star she painted got out of the paper with life and flyed away to the window of Estefany's room. She was amazed for the thing that happened, and understanded that the experience she had in her childhood (and maybe her other dreams) was not dream and all was real. But how she'll know how the rip happened? Did it affected her dreams to? And most importantly: There are more places in that place? Since then, Estefany putted her hopes and dreams high, and started to have more dreams of going trough those worlds of her likings, and altought she had no answer about that strange Starry Ocean of dreams, she's more than curious to travel and discover those worlds until she comes to a conclusion of those events of the Starry Ocean in her life.
