My character would be a minor character, with a few lines here and there I suppose.
Basically, they'd either be set up to appear in a cutscene that can occur at random (like the drunk in Tarkus), but at any point in the story - and the scene would only occur once. If the player is owned by Zanti, she'd appear in the farming area of Tarkus. If the player is free, they'd appear in Tarkus proper during fast travel. She won't appear in the building of the merchant that buys you as a slave - but if while owned you can travel beyond the house in a future update, she could appear in that local area. And so on.
Regardless of where the event takes place, my character asks the player where she can find their leader. The player then would direct my character to the castle, the Zanti farm, or the merchant's house, etcetera depending on such.
If they don't belong to Zanti, my character is not encountered afterwards - but if my character is sent to the Zanti farm, she will appear as a cow in one of the currently empty stalls, with "moo~♡…" as the only dialogue.

I can fill you in on her appearance if you feel like adding her. I understand if you don't though.

I think I'd be fine with that, it just seems minor enough that it would look out of place if she got custom art. I'd personally just limit it to the zanti content, like her asking you where the farm is and mentioning looking for a job, with an image of her being milked for later, to make the whole thing more consistent.
I'd still have to ask you to either donate 25$ or join that tier on patreon, since it wouldn't be fair to the others who donated to get something specific added to the game. I'd understand if you weren't looking forward to spending that money on top of commissioning the art (not that any of this is mandatory).
What would she look like, and do you have a name in mind?
If you just want me to name this NPC how you want, and that's it, I can do that, no need for donations. It seems like a little scene that would fit the cowgirl path anyway.
Oh, I had assumed there'd be a cost anyway; I did open by asking how much it would cost.
I'll see about getting the art and funds. My memory is terrible, so I may need to be poked to be reminded. Hopefully I'll have the money around Christmas. (My family celebrates it, and sometimes instead of getting gifts, I just get money.)
Sadly, I don't have a Job, so money income is rather slow. I will try to get art that matches the current art in your game.
--------------------
As for her appearance; she's a fairly young-looking woman, with pale skin, ankle-length white hair, and red eyes. This is because she is albino.
I will attempt to get sprites made for her aswell, both for the initial encounter and the milking sprite.
Would the Zanti cut her hair after acquiring her?
----------------------------
Aside from the above topics, I'd like to discuss finer details privately, if at all possible.
It's your money, so you are free to do what you want with it, but I'd recommend being careful, if you don't have too much of it. Art can be quite expensive, and there is a lot you can buy with that money. An adult game is hardly very important in the grand scheme of things.
Take your time, it's not like work will start before I get the money and the art anyway, so there is no rush.
Since the art will have to be in my game, I'd like to get a look as the sketches get made (it would be bad if you spent money and then we found out I don't like it and don't want it in the game). Unless you want me to put you in contact with my artist (that way we'd know for sure the art would be similar, although that would depend on whether he is available for commissions or not).
I don't think the Zanti would care about cutting her hair.
What kind of details would there be left to discuss? What's your preferred way of communication?
There's not much left to discuss, except for a few details about the character that may ultimately change how or if she is included.
As for someone to do the art, I'm in touch with a few artists, since I am also making a game and they are on my art team. I will be sure to show you each step. Once I have an artist working on it.
I will need to find someone that can do the map sprites, though…
I prefer Discord DMs, if you have Discord.
