on the topic of patting, batamon only accepts it from ribbon beyond the 5 second limit (i wonder why teehee!!). everyone else, mostly friends, get a quick 5 seconds of pats before they are promptly met with a slap to the hand or a grab where she slowly moves the hand away from her head. her greatness can only be revered by other great people in their standards!
batamon is more of a "loves to be mysterious but is probably not that mysterious" type of person to me. mainly because, if she's not acting as kirby for true arenas and other miscellaneous activities, they're usually doing their own thing.. or napping around somewhere. ribbon thinks her mysterious cat gimmick is pretty cool and actively praises it, feeding into batamon's ego which eventually turns into the leopard warming up to her. as they talk, ribbon notices she isn't really that mysterious.. just has a lot going on, so she helps in anyway she can! and in return, batamon does the same.. or more like she ends up doing it way more out of admiration and the fuzziness they feel in their heart...
back to the drawing, batamon does get slightly annoyed when her tough personality does stop working on ribbon. sometimes a cute leopard wants to look super duper cool in the moment.. and she can't because someone's cuteness is annihilating how awesome and mysterious they are :P. her annoyance ends up becoming a little tease they throw at ribbon just so they could get a quick compliment or two (as if they weren't already showered with compliments before so.. greedy ass smh)
bah, the two give me really bad cuteness aggression!!! i haven't gotten over the scarf doodle i did with batamon AT ALL!!! and my design for ribbon in general.. drives me mad sometimes!!! in a good way!!! ugh, they're so cute they make me shatter into 1 million pieces!!!!
