WA is having a Trick or Treat Fest and I'm SO HYPED
Pretty much people who want to participate create a Halloween version of a character, and people draw/write about the spooky version of the character.
Here's a quick first draft of Spooky!Mica:
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
In case you can't read my atrocious handwriting, allow me to briefly explain her design.
-All feathers have been replaced with bloody teeth.
-Her fur is scruffier
-Her tail is longer and the fur sticks up more
-Her eyes are inverse—the very dark green that was once her pupils has been replaced with the very pale green of her irises, and vice-versa
-Her "pupils" (now light green) are always slitted
-Her eyes glow green
-She is much more lanky
-Her ribs are clearly visible and have been pushed out of place, to tear through her stomach rather than protect her lungs and heart (this part is OPTIONAL but, oddly enough, does carry great personal meaning to me and her as a character)
-She can create black ice (p much just ice that's black, but also that horrible stuff that coats the roads in the winter that I always slip on because I can't see it—)
The last part in particular warrants further explanation.
First of all, why black ice? Well..Because I always slip on it and Spooky!Mica is a bit of a prankster.
But why ice in general?
Mica actually has/had ice powers ^^ I don't include them much and they aren't even mentioned in her favorite, but the first draft of her (back when she had eMO HAIR) had ice powers to contrast with my best friend Sparrowhawk's sona Ashe, who has fire powers. I never officially deemed her powerless, but I've sort of shifted my views on the subject.
She can't conjure ice like she used to be able to, and she can't control it. But she does love cold weather wholeheartedly and has spent so long in the snow and ice that she knows how to manipulate and "read" it. She knows when it's going to snow, and sometimes even how much it's going to snow. She knows when it's cold enough for water to freeze over, and when it's getting warm enough to the point where traveling over ice—like her tribe often does—becomes dangerous. She can hear ice cracking and becoming unstable before any other cat. She knows how to skid on the ice to distract an enemy with a spray of tiny ice shards. She has pretty much broken her internal thermometer and can sit silently in the snow, camouflaged, notably longer than the rest of her tribe. She can manipulate it in any way it can be manipulated without supernatural powers. (She's even been known to carve images into it for fun)
This skill does not carry over into any other weather—she can't predict rain or wind or anything. She knows snow, but she's not a weatherman.
On the contrary, Spooky!Mica does have supernatural ice powers! She can summon black ice, manipulate in supernaturally, and convert regular ice into black ice to prank everyone and steal their candy when they fall on it only to give it back later because she's still a little weakling at heart.
