My sona/mascot!

• Boyfriend: Rune

• He can appear male or female (but usually always appears male)
• His human hairstyle can be drawn on his other two forms
• Loves food and music and birbs... pretty much everything I like!
• His backstory is currently in the works, but he was killed and reborn in a volcano
• When he's upset his colors fade to ashy, smokey grays and his Cat Eye Beads also turn tar/basalt colors (very very rarely seen)
• Despite being a fire demon he loves the cold

07/29/19 A little backstory on this boy's mess of a design-change roller coaster

I have been struggling with my sona's design since I've made this account 3 years ago. He started out as a demon clown/jester. His human form has remained mostly untouched but his other form has always been an issue. He started out as a Jackal and his patterns always bugged me. I then changed him to a Dragon, because I love dragons, but I already have a wicked Wyvern. So I took away his wings and turned him into a drake, which didn't last long. He came back to his Jackal like roots, in which I meshed him with a demon/drake... after that he was full Jackal again for a short while.
Nothing was clicking. I contemplated changing my account name and my sona altogether. Perhaps to Khash or even back to Zuzu. Though, I couldn't. I wasn't going to give up on him. It wasn't his fault. I still liked him so much too! Even if I had changed my whole aesthetic, he'd still sit there unfinished and unused, and I wasn't going to let that happen to him.

So I've finally made up my mind. I've never been able to click with canine sonas. I know he originated as one, but he's my sona and I want to click with him. When I was under the Chaotic--Edge account, Zuzu (Chaos) was my sona and she was predominantly feline.
I love caracals, I always have. I love Fire. I love citrusy grapefruity orange colors. He started out as a demon jester with a rune bead necklace, so I've decided to meet with him in the middle. I've even added a few forms and elements that I can enjoy drawing as well.

I finally have a design I can click with. It went under a lot of tweaking and there's a lot of finished unused images that go with this ref, but I am ecstatic with the final result. He can still be himself, and I have a sona that I can use comfortably. It's a simple design, but a recognizable one in my opinion.

Here's to a journey with my sona Cessyhl! Looking forward to it!
