The One Where They’re Human (and Also Magical Warriors)

My first AU (alternate universe)!

Felino is now Felipe, aka Crimson Puma. He’s Latino and a trans man, previously a butch lesbian. He can’t grow facial hair and he’s annoyed by it. He’s always ready to fight. He took a while to figure out his new name, so different groups of friends know him as different things. When people need something, he always knows a guy. He like punk music and fashion.

Mya is now Miyako, aka Saffron Lioness. She’s still cute and sweet, and likes to cook especially pastries, but now she’s Japanese-American. She’s very femme, and no, she doesn’t know martial arts.

Silvercat is now Sky, aka Indigo Tiger. Their gender is somewhere between “gender? I don’t know her” and “BUTCH.” They’re always tired. They’re white. They’re introverted and would really just like to be left alone to read and write. Her style is best described as comfortable. They do know martial arts.

The three of them were friends in high school. Now that they’re in their 20s, they’ve started a coffee, tea, and ice cream shop together, until one day a chocolate-brown, and rather chunky, talking cat strolled into their lives and told them they were destined Magical Warriors, and gave them each a transformation talisman.

Crimson Puma’s is a friendship bracelet. As Crimson Puma, he has the most raw power, and can fit in anywhere. (because mountain lion’s have the largest range of almost any animal)

Saffron Lioness’ is a barrette. Her power is the power of teamwork, cooperation, and charm. And also the magical pride of lions she can call up.

Indigo Tiger’s is a pen. They are a master of camouflage, stealth, and disguise. And also can claw through almost anything.

They all grow a couple of inches when they transform, which makes Sky and Felipe very happy. The hoods on their uniforms can hide their faces. And they can transform into their cat, a housecat sized version, or a magical energy version.

Up at Silvercat’s vignettes

I posted these on Rainbowfic, so now I’m posting them here.

(I haven’t completely decided how I’m handling the Tynthna honorifics that apply to Mya/Maa) (Maa is how it’s spelled, Mya is how it’s pronounced)

(I’m also not decided on how high off the ground the Pub is)


Just Another Morning At Work

When I came in Felino was squatting on the floor, one knife held ready to throw, and Mya-chama was perched on a table, her skirt bunched up around her knees, tail swishing. They were both glancing intently around the room.

“What in Taill’s name are you doing?”

“Hunting,” Felino said flatly.

“There’s a mouse.”

“How the heck is there a mouse?! We’re four stories up a tree!” I protested.

“Dunno,” Felino said. “Mice are like that.”

“There!” Mya-chama leapt off the table, claws out, and pounced like a pastel meteor. “Got it!” The little grey pest flailed as much as it could with Mya-chama holding its tail.

“Great,” I said wearily. “Now get rid of it. We open in half an hour.”


Felino Insisted He Could Set Up the Holographic Playground

“Are you sure you know what you’re doing?”
“Absolutely!”
“Um… I don’t think it’s supposed to be glowing like that…”
“It’s fine. I’ve set up displays before.”
“Uh… this isn’t a screen.”
“It’s fine! It’s basically the same…….. ooops.”
“Uh huh. Let me go find a flashlight. And the manual.”


Adventures Building the Treehouse Pub

The tree was hollow but it had to be stablilized and lined so it’d wouldn’t drop sap or splinters; that was the first unexpected expense.

Silvercat hadn’t actually planned much and certainly hadn’t budgeted.

What with there being no roads it shouldn’t have been a surprise when the first truck full of building materials got stuck by the river but somehow it was.

The arboreal wildlife loved the cables the contractors strung from the branches for the purpose of bringing up materials and supporting scaffolding.

It certainly wasn’t the first time the company had put in a resin floor and bar top, but it was the first time they’d done it 100 feet up a tree.

Pretty much nobody thought the bar was a good idea – for oh so many reasons – but they all admitted it had style.

Maa in snow gear sketch

(took me awhile to get around to scanning this)

Cold weather means layers. The layers she’s wearing are:

  • chemise
  • fur-lined trousers
  • heavy-weight tunic with fur-lined sleeves
  • fur-lined boots with ice cleats
  • mittens
  • tail sleeve
  • belted poncho
  • fur hat with drape/scarf (the hat isn’t transparent, I just wanted to make sure it had room for her ears)

Sketch of Maa

Aka, Mya, aka Mya-chama. Her name has changed as I’ve worked on her language, Tynthna

But here she is in some of her native clothing:

I haven’t drawn her as a non-chibi in ages and never in correct clothes (since I just came up with those this year)
