Heike

HEIKE
- wolf wildkin
- 4'4"
- upper half of face is always pitch black, with circular eyes visible within. these eyes are off-bluish-white (see color palette 'eyes and inside of mouth'.
- their fur is mostly black, but their muzzle, the insides of their ears, and their pawpads are all white (see color palette 'body accent'). they are also countershaded the same shade of white on their stomach/chest.
- their head floats separately from their neck, their left arm floats severed in the middle of the forearm, and their left leg is severed at the knee. these limbs float in roughly the same place they normally would be if they were attached. where each limb is detached, an empty white light is visible in the same shade that their eyes are.
- their hair is black and tied into two buns on either side of their head. they have a straight fringe. think himiko toga from bnha (i don't go here leave me alone i just know about the character) but not as messy, nice and clean.
- they have a halo that hangs behind their head. it consists of a circle with four outward points, https://i.imgur.com/xhNCg0B.png like so, with their head in the center.
- the inside of heike's mouth glows the same color that their eyes do.
- one ear is missing a chunk out of the side.
- always levitating off the ground.
- their four front canine teeth are all gold.
- flat chested, obviously giant hips because it's me, bit chubby.

outfit:
- dress like so: https://i.imgur.com/Lk39mlW.png . enough of their neck remains to support the collar. the left arm is missing a sleeve past where it's severed, and the fabric is visibly frayed there.
- a few flowers, like the wisteria described in the lantern segment, are dotted throughout their hair, and especially their hair buns.
- bloodstone earrings like so: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0727/7667/products/bloodstoneearrings.jpg?v=1632190931

HEIKE'S LANTERN
appears to be a plain gas lantern like this one: https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1610109989495-833dee575a8c?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxzZWFyY2h8MXx8Z2FzJTIwbGFtcHxlbnwwfHwwfHw%3D&w=1000&q=80
but its light is choked by roots that have encased it and scale the lantern until they twist together into what resembles a small but flowering tree at the top, bearing large willows of wisteria flowers that glow white to match heike's eyes. the strange green light it casts almost resembles the way light shines on the bottom of a body of water. the fire burning within, heike's soul, changes often, but burns slowly with soft, rounded edges usually.

fun action pose notes:
- when heike is damaged or struggling to manifest, they become considerably more spectral, their body distorting, becoming translucent, and spectral green.
- when heike is engaging in combat or powerful spells, heike's halo spins. a third eye also opens, though is often hidden by their bangs, and is instead green rather than the white of their other two eyes.
- when heike is engaging in combat, their hair buns become like miniature torches and burn with spectral flame.
- when heike is enraged or experiencing other extreme emotions, their head will fully catch on spectral flame, but will remain visible under it somewhat.
- during some of their most powerful spell, wings of spectral energy become briefly visible behind them.
