Description
NOTICE:Anybody looking for an up-to-date Marii REF should use this:
This was with the goal of being her new overworld look. Basically, this a mock-up of the way she will look in an animation.
I feel obligated to start giving credit to all the people who got Marii to this point.
I will also say that I decided to give Marii three front toes instead of two because every artist ever draws her with three so I decided to eliminate the complaint altogether.
With that out of the way, there are 5 main artists to give credit to for the new design.
Her main hair was reshaped to look more like this trade from DorkLink :
However, the choice to extend her braid down the point it was dragging was because of this trade by alliekiitty :
(Even if that's not whats happening in the picture, that's how I see it.)
Her eyes and new braid pattern are pulled from a very oldschool-looking trade by Untraceablemystic :
Her beak is grabbed from trades with 00Hasha00 , along with many of the early redesigns for color, shapes, and other details:
Lastly, Her new sword is from UsaretamaSai :
This idea of using trades to perfect a design has been an intention from the start, even though I mostly do it because I like it. I love trading! TRADE WITH ME.
-Marii's Bio-
Age: 12 (The year is 1988. She was born in 1976.)
Height: 1 Meter
Marii is a small bird girl who was meant to be raised in an orphanage with other abandoned eggs, but her dad screwed up the address and she got raised by a family of Chinese-styled warrior tigers who immediately moved to another country. They were completely fine with raising a bird, but she had to be as strong as all the tigers in her age group out of tradition. Her mother compensated her lack of raw strength with extra fighting styles based around speed and using outside weapons. Her upbringing also included consistent lessons in Chinese cooking, language in both Chinese and English for the new country, learning to have the spirits fight with her rather than against her, maintaining bodily balance, and even a bit of farming. This caused her to enjoy doing most of these things, even periodically yelling into the air about how the spirits were being extremely rude.
The sword she uses is a special chemical blend that hardened in a mold. Her friend, Jars, has named it Furui.
Her Jade broach has beliefs of representing Benevolence, Honesty, Wisdom, Integrity, and Bravery. It's made for each member of the family, but she had to earn hers by beating at least one real family member in a fair fight. When making decisions, she tends to rub in in her hands.
Her favorite things to do is run around her extensive backyard looking for secrets and playing the two first Zelda games.
Her least favorite things to do are try and please the most hard-headed spirits. This includes her grandpa (Still alive, very stingy).

It's a great custom to get inspiration from wherever you can. This reflects it! If I may ask, what's the difference between the design in the middle and on the right?

The middle is the final stage of the redesign, as well as the preffered viewing angle for her new game sprite. It isn't actually the sprite itself, just a mockup. The right one was in the position of the old game sprite, which had problems of not feeling integrated in the game environment.

I see! What about the Western/Japanese thing? Are you going to design another look for her or is this just a place she'll travel to at one point?

That's the location of the game. Marii doesn't have any Mexican ties herself.
