Hey, remember that Miqo'te "child" in Idylshire? - Marisa - 08-01-2015

The one we were debating over whether or not she was possibly half lalafell?

Did y'all notice she doesn't have a tail?

There's a slot for a tail. But no tail. Illuminati cheesemake?

She does have a tail; it's a little bob-tail! Smile

She's still a Miqit'ten
And like real life kittens, their ears are oversized and tails stubbier compared to their adult counterparts' proportions.

You can see where the tail protrudes over the belt, and if you look at how it's textured, it's made to look furry. Big Grin

They most definitely have little stub tails. Probably just a childhood thing. They grow into their ears, and their tails grow out as they get older~

I see the point about the other girl also having a little stub for a tail, but in my defense, I want to point out that what you circled is part of the coat. It may have a tail under it, but all that's visible in that picture is the cover for the tail-hole.

As a lalafell with a eye-to-butt level view, I can assure you it is a little bob tail.

Wow, it is just a whole different world down there, huh? But yeah, I certainly can't argue with that. So many pieces of gear have that weird tail-cover, I guess I just mentally wrote it off upon seeing it.  

It looks like a hamster tail :<

x3 Bobtail kittens have cute fluff tails too.

Since we are on the subject of Miqo'te things, I realized something the other day that kinda blew my mind. Didn't feel it worth making a thread over, though.

Male Miqo'te's facial markings are based off Cheetahs. : o
Only took me like two years to come to that conclusion.

If you would like some even more cool information about cheetahs and the marks...

Which means the marks could be because of the heat Miqo'te often deal with. I'm not sure what their homelands were like however.

Meracydia's (the Miqo'te home continent) northern region is a desert. So it actually makes good sense.

Oh that's very interesting! I vaguely recalled the name but I couldn't remember what it's region was like. Thank you very much Sounsyy.
