The looks03

01 Look

Front

Sounds of the quiet courtyard: a short plum-blue windbreaker, curry-yellow shorts with integral gaiters and one flat audio recorder attached at the side. The other paw steadies a closed cup of milk tea in a strap loop, with a short straw connected to the lid. No headphones on the head.

Front

Listening at home: a cream jumper with one broad, wavy cocoa stripe and loose lavender trousers. Sits back on the heels, hugging a rounded mug of milk tea; no recorder or straps.

Front

He pauses between gentle shakes and listens to the ice. With his recorder clipped at his hip, a brief tea-making rhythm will join his collection of quiet courtyard sounds.

His own iced milk tea made with black tea and milk.

00 / Original form

Character starts with form.

A solid milky-lilac bean-shaped head with a full left side, no notch or dividing groove. Three small tea marks merge into the side surface. A very short torso, springy short legs, large violet-amber eyes and open delight.
