Request Details

Redtail ears and a tail on an Amalgana.

Reason why you are making this request (if applicable):

I'm porting a character over from other mediums and I've decided this race/appearance combination fits the best for them.

First, for the character. The character in general works the absolute best when her outside appearance is adorable/cute as it allows her internal issues and freakish nature to become more of a contrast than it would otherwise. The redtail ear and tails (as well as her fennec nature outside of SL2) allowed some semblance of small/weakness which gives that contrast in a really strong manner. The other character justification is simply that she was always a fennec fox in other incarnations of the character and it simply makes it easier for her continuity to be at least partially one here as well.

For the RP, I think it's rather easy to imagine that a homonculi creator would make their creation look like something they find visually pleasing. That would be a very easy in character justification for the confusion, that being that her creator had their own preferences and made her look that way for their own reasons. In world, she would have been made to be a pencil pusher, so it would have been left up to the scientist quite a bit rather than having them be a big strong salamander or something similar.

Roleplay & Lore supporting your request:

The reasons that I listed above I think answer this question as well. The contrast, the scientist doing what they wish, those sort of things would explain the character sort of easily.
