Amaterasu

Amaterasu is the white wolf goddess of the video game Okami, and one of the only cosplay characters I tend to get in adoptable form. Okami is my favorite video game and I especially love when I can get adoptables of Amaterasu with lineart edits to capture the unique art style of the video game.


Gender: Female
Body: White
Eyes: Black
Markings: Red marks on her body, black tail-tip as if dipped in ink
Mane/Tail/Hair: White

Other Okami adoptables

Beatrice

Beatrice is a young lady, shrewdly intelligent and plenty of spunk to stand up for herself. Her father is known for being a blue jay (in coloring at least). She is named after the leading female character in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing.


Gender: Female
Body: Black
Eyes: Blue
Markings: White undersides with blue separating from black body; blue mask on face with white stars
Mane/Tail/Hair: white with black horizontal stripes
Wings: Blue edged in black, with white and black bars

Bergsma

Bergsma is a teenager just entering adulthood with a snarly temper and a sarcastic remark always on her lips, but she does it to hide a soft heart that was taken advantage of in the past. She is fiercely protective of her younger sister and brother, being their guardian after their parents passed away. In adoptable form, all three of them are always depicted with wings.


Gender: Female
Body: Teal
Eyes: Pink
Markings: Pale teal leopard spots and pale teal undersides and muzzle
Mane/Tail/Hair: Pale teal, often with yellow/pink mixed in
Wings: Teal with yellow bars and pink along the upper edge

Bern

Bern is usually a canine adoptable, named after my favorite dog breed, a Bernese Mountain Dog. He doesn't speak, unlike most of my characters, but he is wise, protective, and looks out for those who need help.


Gender: Male
Body: Tri-color
Eyes: Brown or black
Markings: white muzzle, paws, tail tip and chest/belly on a black body, with rust-red separating white from black
Mane/Tail/Hair: usually black
Extra: usually no mutations

Cobalt Legacy

Cobalt is usually a small adoptable. He's quick and nimble, and quite a bit full of himself. He's the kind who will act first and think later (if at all). His original incarnation was a Rarrel, a squirrel-like creature.


Gender: Male
Body: cyan
Eyes: pale cyan
Markings: white muzzle, belly and socks (over stockings); dark teal stockings and mask, ears tipped with dark teal then white
Mane/Tail/Hair: horizontal stripes of cyan and dark teal, white tips

Dragonheart

One of my online names is Ryuukokoro, which means 'dragon heart' in Japanese. This lady represents me with her gold dragon scales and gold crystal symbol over her heart.

Gender: Female
Body: Bright red
Eyes: Gold
Markings: Gold scale markings over her back, shoulders, and down her legs. Two gold crystals on her chest
Mane/Tail/Hair: Bright red
Extras: Gold

Duskberry

Duskberry is an earnest and serious young man, despite his clownish looks. He was born with great magical talent, but at the moment he doesn't know how to use it. When he grows into his power, he will be a formidable figure.

Gender: Male
Body: Lavender
Eyes: Purple or teal
Markings: Pale cyan legs and underbelly, dark teal stripes on tail, white face with butterfly mask and 'tear drop', clusters of pale cyan 'duskberries on shoulders. Silver curled serpentine dragon on hip.
Mane/Tail/Hair: Purple with dark teal tips
Wings: Lavender darkening to purple, blending with dark teal and then lightening to pale cyan

Ebil

Ebil is a bad-tempered horse who pulls all the horse tricks in the book, like taking a deep breath when you're tightening his girth. But under that large intimidating exterior he's nothing but a little kitten who wants to run around and play (when no one is watching of course). He is very offended by the fact that Ryuu loves little mini-Ebils so she breeds his adoptables as often as she can!


Gender: Male
Coloring: Blue Corn Roan
Extras: Usually a draft horse. Occasionally has a unicorn horn.

Kohaku

Kohaku is a ten-year-old American short-hair cat, and is based on my baby who has been with me since I was in college. As a character, he worries about every single thing in life and suffers from a lot of medical conditions that keep him in and out of the hospital (much like real life, sigh).

Gender: Male
Body: Black and white
Eyes: Pale green
Mane/Tail/Hair: Narrow dark blue and pale blue stripes

L'arc

L'arc is known for being beautiful on the outside, but not on the inside. She's lethargic and haughty, never expending any energy if she doesn't have to. She is represented by any color combination of rainbows, pastel rainbows, and white.

Gender: Female
Semi Custom: rainbow, pastel rainbow, or white with rainbow markings

Luin

Being the younger brother of an overbearing sister and the middle child to boot, Luin is a bustling ball of energy who is always running around and getting into mischief. He sometimes drags his little sister along, causing his older sister Bergsma much frustration. In adoptable form, he is always depicted with wings.

Gender: Male
Body: Pale blue
Eyes: Pale blue
Markings: White undersides, tail and face with dark blue muzzle and paws
Mane/Tail/Hair: Pale blue fading to white
Wings: Pale blue with white bars
Extra: Often wearing bracers and an earring

Niji

Niji is my newest RP character, designed for me by a friend. He's a silly and high energy boy who never thinks and only cares about having fun. His innocence is his saving grace, though he knows he's pretty to look at and will try to use that to get what he wants.

Gender: Male
Body: Black
Eyes: Red
Markings: Specific rainbow-colored markings, mostly animal prints, all over body
Mane/Tail/Hair: Rainbow
Extras: Rainbow

Rainbow Dash

One of my few cosplay characters, this is Rainbow Dash the My Little Pony. Whether her third generation personality, a fashion-obsessed diva, or her fourth generation personality, an athletic tomboy, I love her looks.

Gender: Female
Body: Sky Blue
Markings: Cutie mark on hip, either a rainbow with two clouds or a cloud and a lightning bolt
Mane/Tail/Hair: Rainbow

Ront

Abandoned by his pack at a young age, Ront grew up alone but maintained his pure heart and optimism, as well as gaining a strong strength of character needed to survive in the wild alone.

Gender: Male
Body: Deep rust red
Eyes: Bright blue
Markings: Pale cream undersides, face, ears, and front legs. Black down his back.
Mane/Tail/Hair: Black

Ryuu and Kokoro

Two siblings who represent my two extremes: A down-to-earth youth without magic who is always colored a dark brown sable with minimum white, and a twin with bright colors and random blues and purples whose magic is always out of control. Only together are they in balance.

Sky Bridge

Sky Bridge was my original adoptable character, the first character that came to life in my head when I started collecting adoptables on PI. He's honest and hard working but still silly and loves to party. He'd go through hell and high water for his friends. By some coincidence, he is usually paired up with someone green in RP's, either as a best friend or love interest.


Gender: Male
Body: Sky Blue (#8EA8F6)
Eyes: Cyan (#37D9FF)
Markings: White stockings, sometimes a blue bridge between two clouds on his rump
Mane/Tail/Hair: Dark Blue (#1040BD)
Wings: Cyan (#34DAF3)

Tanaka Fukumori

Tanaka has been my constant RP character since I was a senior in college, six years ago. Surprisingly he doesn't have many adoptables, mostly because he's a human RP character who doesn't appreciate being stuck in weird animal shapes LOL. He's a blond emo boy who wears mostly black, so his adoptables are usually yellow with some sort of black teardrop motif.


Gender: Male
Body: Buttery yellow
Eyes: Black or green
Markings: Black anything, especially tear drop shapes
Mane/Tail/Hair: Black

Tigen

Tigen was an old RP character of mine from before my adoptable days. He was a green Aliroo (a kangaroo-like alien with wings) with purple markings on his body. He was a grumpy worrywart teenager, full of paranoia, who never wanted to make friends. Until he met a psychic girl and fell in loooove~


Gender: Male
Semi Custom: green body, purple and magenta markings

Tikaani (and Rontu)

Tikaani is one of my only villain RP characters. She's a shape-shifting goddess who has been worshiped across many planets.


Gender: Female
Body: Black
Eyes: Blue
Markings: White undersides with blue separating from black body; blue mask on face with white stars
Mane/Tail/Hair: white with black horizontal stripes
Wings: Bue edged in black, with white and black bars

Beatrice

Beatrice is a young lady, shrewdly intelligent and plenty of spunk to stand up for herself. Her father is known for being a blue jay (in coloring at least). She is named after the leading female character in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing.


Gender: Female
Body: Black
