Oh and she would let them call her Zalli if they wanted to. 

I can confirm the jingle jangle markiplier clip is exactly how they became friends. Quetzalli would be too distracted by the bell to run.

You gave me diabetes. But for real, you didn't mischaracterize them at all! I love how each of them have different interactions, and their dynamics too! The jingle jangle markiplier clip is now confirmed to be how Quetzalli became friends with Runie. Thank you for the wonderful drawing ideas too, by the way. AND SPEAKING OF RUNIE AND KANRA, I drew them. I sincerely hope I did it right, but I might post it later when it's complete.  Also sorry about the yap and potential mischaracterize of your mcs, but here's how I think Xipil, Metztli, and Quetzalli would respond. Let me know if I  need to correct anything!

Xipil would actually think Runie was cool, and be a bit confused with Kanra. But she'd definitely give them rocks to be their friend.  She does eventually talk to him first, but she's so nervous it comes out soft. But once she realizes he's been bullied, she gets mad because she thinks he's a cool person and doesn't deserve it (he doesn't). For Kanra, Xipil would probably think Kanra likes rocks, so she'll constantly return with geodes and gems. But Xipil does dig holes in her front yard to find more. So it's like she's part mole too, because somehow she'll always find a way to dig deep. Sometimes it's awkward because she'll just pop out of a hole with rocks and covered in dirt with a blank look on her face.

Quetzalli would immediately try and get them hats too, explaining that they're very important crew mates. She'll make sure the crew mascot is a shark, and she definitely wouldn't mind if Runie got confused. She herself gets confused too, but she wouldn't notice Kanra being mean. Only when Runie points it out, but even then she forgives Kanra because despite going through so much, she can't hate Kanra. She doesn't think it's right, so she learns to sew shark plushes for her. She would consider them her best friends, because eventually she realizes that there's people who do like when she yaps. She would also ask Runie to teach her how to bake so she could give him stuff in return. 

Metztli would slightly look at Runie confused, but she definitely makes him bracelets. She hopes she can try and reassure that she's nice, but she would genuinely care (platonically). She would a hundred percent insult people mean to Runie and Kanra. Metztli would make Kanra jewelry, but huff a bit. She eventually gets a bit used to it.

I have another question, it's related to the mass mc drawing I'm doing. I want to draw my mcs interacting with yours, but, I don't want to mischaracterize them. Also I'm practicing more expressions, so yeah. 

You can yap, and how do you think your mcs would interact with mine?

For reference, Xipil will not talk to anyone. She can talk, and used to ramble, but due to past bullying incidents (the scar on her cheek, the bullies wanted to get her to shut up), she has opted to go mute. She is very polite, and shows it through actions. The only way she makes friends is with her special rock collection, dubbed "Frienship Rocks". She got this from penguins, since that's how they court. But she doesn't know this and thought that's how they made friends. So if she gives you a rock, she wants to be your friend. 

Metztli is very confident and is actually pretty serious. Befriending her is kind of hard because she's not used to people wanting to be her friend. She's very blunt too, and her need to be perfect gets in the way of her actually being nice. But if you're her friend, she will be very protective of you.

Quetzalli is very flighty. She will often run away or freeze, purely because she doesn't know how to speak to people. Like Xipil, she was made fun of for wanting to be a captain, and her rants on ships. It's worse if she finds someone pretty/handsome, because she knows she's awkward and doesn't want to embarrass herself in front of them. If you were to attempt to talk to her, just hand her something she can fidget with (like a stick), and she'll stay and let you talk to her. Just don't mind her slight stutter and frantic nods, she's trying her best to speak. She'll also squeak when caught off guard, but if you're friend, she'll refer to you as first mate.

IT'S GOOD TRUST. For me, at least. but I'm glad you like it!

I will do my best to do them justice.

Hey guys do I have permission to draw your mcs? I'm currently multitasking my homework and trying to improve my art style because I want to do my mcs justice, and I wanted to ask before I did. Im also probably going to take longer for them because I want them to look good.

THEY LOOK SO GOOD! Especially Fio! I like their design and the little fun fact about Fio. Keep up the good work! 💕💕

I'm glad you approve! I'll be trying the genderbend challenge, and hopefully it'll look good. I'll probably add some Xipil facts so she has more to her.

Also I edited this because I misspelled like five words.

THANK YOU! I had to mention my favorite anime. I have a lot, but Love Live is one of the top for me.

Love Live! All Stars. It's a game based off the different animes and it's a idol anime I grew up watching, though it was mostly Aqours since their anime was still going. And I'm glad you like it! I messed up somewhere on Metztli's, so I'm glad it looks good despite the mistake.

Yeah! I grew up more on Aqours than the first group, and this is one of the shows I still like watching. And thanks! I haven't seen Aikatsu, but I'll take a look. 

Sorry! I was going to check but then I had to go do something and I forgot to edit it to have your name.

I don't think the middle is taken, so sure. I don't recall anyone ever saying that they wanted it, and the bottom left someone claimed I think. 

I forgot Venti exists. Her hair is down though.

To be fair, I said I was done makings mcs. The ones you see in any future drawings are the other ones I have. Anyways, here's my part of the collab!

And I know horizons came out later. Let Quetzalli have her fun.

I love your mcs! I forgot to mention a while back, but they're amazing and I like their designs!

Also for the collab, to soothe it, she will be in a Sprigatito onesie.

Thanks! I usually take bits from different characters from shows I used to watch. Her love for ships actually come from me, and You Watanabe from Love Live! Sunshine. But I'm struggling with Milo and Bjørn's lore, so it's mostly going to be just Metztli, Xipil, and Quetzalli.

So I would suggest maybe taking some parts of characters, then using it as a frame for how you want your mc to be like. Obviously don't copy the personality, but taking some struggles or characteristics and adding to them or revising them helps. Like with Metztli. Metztli has the same perfection issue as Amity, but instead of it being ingrained, it's a direct result of how teachers can impact kids. Her teacher was a major jerk and often humiliated her everytime she asked a question or had trouble. So she begun to associate not knowing with being made fun of and hated, which then in turn begun to make her a perfectionist. If she's perfect, no one will make fun of her. No one will hate her if she's perfect. That's her mentality. She's not upholding a family name, she's preventing herself from being hurt.

Sorry for the yapping, I hope it helps break down how I make them, obviously I don't copy paste the characters, I just insert little references from characters that had a huge impact on me. And thank you for liking her!

Yeah I was watching horizons and really liked Liko's hair, then was like, yep. So now she's got that hair AND she likes Pokémon. She is basically part Liko reference which I love since I've been watching horizons a lot lately.

Hi, would it be okay if I joined? I have a mc I haven't drawn yet and would like to to draw her. If it's okay, could I have the spot above Runie?

I FORGOT TO REPLY WAY EARLIER BUT I LOVE YOUR NEW MC AND RUNIE! They're absolutely amazing and I love the animal onesies!

I honestly think it's super close, so your art study went well. Amazing job, nveons!

It's actually a fear influenced by a really mean teacher she had as a kid (basically made fun of her when she didn't understand something), and she hasn't told anyone. But I PROMISE she gets better and eventually gets out of the mindset! She also really loves hot chocolate.

Okay, it's yap session time. Feel free to skip the yaps, it's a long one since I already had an idea of how she'd be. Hope you enjoy!

May I present my new mc... Metztli Caballero! And she does have the symbol of the Aztec goddess as her tattoo in Step Three since her name is the same as the Aztec goddess of the moon, Metztli. Still experimenting with the art.

Step 1:

Metztli is a very polite and well mannered girl. A bit too much to the point where she forgets to speak normally. She's very confident and can speak her mind, and she will often do so. She enjoys making her own things, such as jewelry and her in progress sewing lessons. However, she's a perfectionist. Anyways, she didn't mind the move to Golden Grove. She was focused on doing good in school, so she didn't care to make friends. However, she does meet Qiu first. And immediately, she does not like him. Why? She's used to being nearly perfect and well mannered. Opal has no idea why, considering Metztli has just decided she'd be like that. So, upon meeting someone the opposite of her, it stirs up complex feelings. She's even more confused when he deny losing his paper and gets genuinely mad at him. So she's already off to a bad start here, and she swears she would never like him. Too bad she falls for him (literally) to help him win a race (she jumped off the bike).

Step 2:

As She's grown older, her want to be the best begins to overtake her.  Her friendship with Tamarack and Qiu remains the same on good terms. However, she's also become more mean when it's come to people she doesn't like. Particularly, bullies and jerks. Her sense of justice is very questionable considering she has dumped water on bullies and insulted them harshly after they talk ill of her friends. To be honest, that's as far as she goes before she ultimately chooses to ignore them. But she doesn't do it often, so normally she's very polite, and friendly, and will not be mean to innocent people. And she does really care about her friends, often reassuring them that they're doing just fine and that's she proud of them. She is insecure though, as she believes she isn't special, so her dresses and jewelry make her feel special. If they are ever destroyed, she will cry. However, to one very special neighbor, she is special to them. She just hasn't realized that there is one person who doesn't care if she's perfect or not.

Step 3: 

She's now more confident in her skills. After years, she's realized that even is shes not perfect, she's still loved, and she doesn't need to prove herself for it. And now, she wears her dresses even when it's cold outside. The cold doesn't bother her considering she always has a warm coat on hand, and she mostly only wears it outdoors. She is still mean, however, expect she only really says things to tourists who are mean or rude for no reason. And yes, she is very embarrassed that she said she would never fall for Qiu, and she still ended up falling for them in the end (She does like him. It's very easy to tell). If brought up, she will yell shut up and start dramatically walking away with a bright red blush on her face. 

She's not mean to Qiu. Just to clarify, she doesn't deny liking them, nor does she ever show "love" by being straight up rude. She's only embarrassed because she had a superiority complex where she thought she was better because she was perfect, and thought he wasn't at the time, and as such believed she would never love him as more than a friend. She does genuinely appreciate them, and she's happy she likes him. She's not a tsundere. She's meant to have a problem where she believed all love she receives has to be earned through perfection and hard work. At ten, she never talked to someone so carefree as Qiu, so it threw her off. Hence why she dislikes him at first. He was everything she wasn't (until the Step 1 wheels moment where she jumps off his bike to help him win), and she didn't know how to process it.

It looks absolutely amazing! I'm speechless, you literally make great art and now I've run out of things to say but it looks AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL!! The lighting is pretty too!

And I lost my dog, so it was horrible last week.

Like always, thanks! I love your style as well, especially with the details and lighting! You put a lot of work into Jude and Fio, and that's awesome!

Thank you! I got sick last week, then I lost my dog, then I got sick again. So it's been bad.

Thank you! I really love yours too!! I'm so sorry for the late reply, I got sick immediately after recovering.

Don't worry! I thought he was just there for cover up because other people had stuff covering theirs. Anyways, lovely art as always!

I can't go back to sleep, but thanks! For me, I like pretty much most of them. Haley is my favorite next to Leah. Idon't think I hate anyone, but it's been a while since I last played Stardew Valley.

Yes, actually! I did a quiz for him, and he ended up as Hufflepuff.

I finished my part of the collab. Here's Milo! 

Thank you! Xipil eventually becomes insecure about it in Step Two, so in Step Three, once she's become confident, she uses the tattoo to highlight it and makes it the last part.

I have returned with lore, yapping, and mediocre drawings, and again, yap warning. It's a long one, so buckle up and grab some food or something.

I did minor edits. Are they good? Who knows. This is a broken apart character sheet (I do not know how Qiu and Tamarack stop being friends, for this I'm imagining there was maybe a huge fight or something. It will change if that's not what happens, maybe the game stated it, maybe it didn't, I don't remember). 

Enjoy!

Step 1: Spark

Wonderful. Just great. Xipil was mad. Why must they keep moving? She's tired of her mom trying to get her to make friends. People are scary. Like, look at her cheek! Isn't that enough motivation to not want to socialize? What if people here do it again? Oh well. Guess she has to tough it out again. She's nervous, upset, scared and on edge. But then she meets a girl. Xipil had never seen someone so... pretty before. And she blurted it out. But instead of being met with a side eye or disgust...the girl compliments her back. She even smiles at her too, and offers to be friends. Huh. Maybe Golden Grove isn't so bad after all.

Step Two: Wildfire

After the fallout of the three neighbors, Xipil changed.  She had been there for the fight. She tried everything she could to keep the two from breaking apart and be the peacemaker. In the end, it didn't work. Is it dramatic to blame yourself? Xipil doesn't know. But she feels guilty. She blames herself for it. Qiu and Tamarack are important to her. Normally she wouldn't care, but these are two people who helped her, who were there for her when no one else was. So for them to get into a fight that she couldn't stop, it scared her. They were there for her, yet when they fought she couldn't be there for them. Now, she's cold. Blunt. Even aggressive at times. She's emotional, and she knows it. But sometimes, you'll see her walking to each house, ready to listen to their troubles. Though, you'll often see her with Tamarack.

Step 3: Fire of Golden Grove

Four years later, after a lot of struggle and problem solving, especially with Tamarack's help, Xipil has gotten better. She's more confident, friendly, outgoing, talkative, and now makes jokes. Luckily, Qiu, Tamarack, and Renee are all friends again, and Xipil's never been happier. She's also realized she is in love with Tamarack, and plans on confessing. Too bad she's very prone to freezing in previous attempts. It doesn't help that Renee and Qiu tease her for it.

If I mischaracterize Jude and Fio, I'm really sorry, I will fix it, just let me know. I'm not sure how they would interact with Xipil and Milo, so it's how Xipil and Milo would interact with them. It's also pretty lengthy, so I'm sorry.

Fio + Jude

For Step one, Xipil is terrified to talk to Fio and Jude. But then again, she's like this with everyone. Very nervously, she will compliment Fio and then overthink and believe she upset Fio. Xipil always has some geodes on hand, and will offer it to both of them. This is how she asks to be someone's friend, and she will not be upset if you don't take it. If you do, she will visibly brighten up and smile. If Fio becomes her friend, Xipil will always bring her any gem she wants. For Milo, he might be offended Step one. But he'll respect her space and give a friendly wave. He will leave her alone and go off to do his own thing. He'll offer her a shell and/or a shark tooth. He'll ask if he can be her friend, then will do his best to keep quiet. Xipil will always offer her jacket since she can stand the cold, so if they need another layer, she doesn't, mind.

For Step Two, Xipil will be polite and try to not mistake any interactions. She'll try to be friendly, but will back off if Fio tells her to. If they're friends, Xipil won't question why Fio is kinder to her since she is the same way.  Xipil completely understands Jude, so she won't question it. Both Xipil and Milo will offer advice for Jude. But Xipil will always have back up stuff ready in case Fio or Jude ever need another pencil or pen. Xipil always packs extra snacks too (she does this because this is how she shows she cares). She is also a great listener and will not interrupt them. If they're friends, Milo will note their favorite colors and preferences, so that when he makes bracelets, he knows how to do it right. If they don't want any, he'll ask if she has any design ideas. 

In Step Three, Xipil is more confident and outgoing. She'll be polite and kind to Fio, and wouldn't judge her (she does not pay attention). She'll talk to her, but it'll be more off a general kindness. But if they are friends, Xipil will makes tons of jokes. For Jude, she'd probably spend some quiet time and draw a bit. If Fio or Jude ever ask, Xipil will make one for them. Xipil will also offer to drive Fio and Jude to any location (if they want to). Xipil will wait, and will most likely be shopping while she waits. She is also the friend (for both Jude and Fio) who will ask for a wrong order to be made correct (only if they want her to). Milo, if they're friends, he will pay for any food or drinks. He doesn't want his friends to worry about being unable to afford it, so it's always free with him. He'll goof off with them, and he still continues to make jewelry. He will give her some if she ever asks. She'll often offer knowledge about rocks and geology to them, and Milo offers marine knowledge.

So sorry for the late reply! I had more work to do today, and I just checked my notifications. Anyways, here's Xipil! Feel free to use a different jacket if you want, she canonically has a lot.

Could I join? It would be my first collab, and I might use Milo for number six if that's okay.

Hey so I indeed posted her Sunset Shimmer cosplay, and I hope it's to your standards. I'm also considering making a thing where either I ask people if I can draw their ocs as any character from MLP they want, or whipping out the five other ocs I kept a secret.
