Body Features

Koi is rather plump with well-built thighs and strong arms, as she can adjust her body to her needs she is constantly in a state of flux, but she usually will drift towards a rounded bodytype as that's what aesthetically pleases her.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

It took alot of time for Dream Koi to adjust to her resonspiblities within the Dreamrealms, deciding that she could better continue her work of protecting the balance of the souls of Namdia. She figured if she could find a way to interact with the people indirectly, then she could better solve her problems. That's when she found writings upon the Oristellae practices of Dreamwalking and transmitting into the dream realm.

Koi didn't originally adjust her appearance to blend in with the humanoid population, staying close to how she looked in the waking realms, but after struggling to get people to trust her or let her help them, she morphed to a more human-like visage. She kept her earfins and tail as it would've taken more energy in the long run to change and she found it simpler to apply a friendly gradient and be done with it.

Once she was properly accostomed to Dreamwalking and actually interacting with people, Koi began to experiment with what types of interactions were possible. Unlike the awake realms, in the Dreamrealms the world is mostly controlled, shaped and formed by the people in it, and dense population's emotional states can cause serious effects upon both the landscape and local wildlife.

Author's Notes

I cannot understate how much I adore my babygirl. She's my favourite character I've ever made and I want to get everything made of her. I made the choice to seperate her from her 'awake' form as I think there's enough to say on both forms and it may prove easier to properly seperate the Dreaming Realms from the Awake ones especially in terms of linking.

As I said on the article for Koi, this OC is both my mascot character and a character I'm actively working on worldbuilding out and making a comic for, which means that some of the art displayed in her gallery, especially comissioned art or art not by me (FeelingKoi) might not line up perfectly with the lore.

Dream Koi first came to me as a concept after I was struggling with how I wanted to present my mascot character and I was feeling rather limited by her alien appearance, so after a friend told me to 'just make an indulgent version and then make it work afterwards' I came up with this. Alot of her personality and presentation is highly inspired by Charli XCX's brat, Kesha's Joyride, The Barbie Movie and other summer-themed or pink themed pop culture icons. I really wanted to convey that strong feminine girls-girl extrovert energy. I use her as my PNGTuber and as my mascot for summer events such as Artfight, although I would never depict Koi with actual weapons I really liked showing her off with supersoakers and I really wanted to feast on a whole candy-world of pastel goodness which drove me to make a world. Maybe one day I'll make that comic and give her the limelight she deserves.

I may never have kids, so this might be the closest I'll ever get, but I adore her as if she was my own daughter, and I hope you all learn to love her and care for her, too.
