Older Piper

A request from who wanted to see older versions of Piper, the baby I gave Axel and Larxene in my story. Which is great, cause I've always wanted to draw her older; I like the idea of fleshing her out, even if the fic will end not long after she's born. Like pretty much any time I draw them as animals, this is just a visual representation. The more fox or cat like sides of her are to show her personality (though I actually tried to make her a pretty balanced mix of both her parents.) I'm still not really sure what her human form would look like.

The first one is a few years older than I drew her here [link] which was mostly toddler-ish. Here it's more like grade school age. Next to that is teenager-ish, where she's slightly more cat-like. (Oh, and her hair style was Marluxia's idea; but she decided to keep it as she got older.) I'm extremely tempted to make her a lesbian, if only because everything about this story is supposed to turn the idea of "normal" on its head; Axel and Roxas are really the only fully straight characters.

Then Larxene and Axel show off their parenting. I don't think Larxene would ever read Piper's diary, but she'd probably keep her on the edge and pretend she would. (This one's my favorite; every about it is so cute.) And Axel's may-or-may-not-be-a-diary is actually a big part of his character, and is one of my favorite little pieces of trivia.

I see Piper as, ehh... somewhere between 10 and 12 in the mini comic. Young enough to fear punishment, but old enough to not take shit from people talking smack about her family. I also established while drawing this that Larxene would most likely be the one who deals out the punishment, cause... it's Larxene, she just gets angry more often. Unless of course she thinks the action was justified x3

This was pretty good practice for drawing with my new monitor. I also could have add a few more doodles, but my tablet decided it wanted to poop out on me, so I was like, eh, I'll stop here.
