TMP: Namibian 🇳🇦 (Himba)

So I made a bit of a mistake with the San "princess", I said they represent Namibia, while the tribe that seems to represent that country more is Himba. I changed up Namibia to Botswana for the previous girl and now I thought I'd make up for it :)

I’m guessing most people aren’t aware of many African ethnic groups, however it’s kinda extremely surprising to me that I’ve never seen a Knuckles the Echidna humanization that made him a member of the Himba people of Namibia, who are most well known for dying their braids and skin with an ochre-pigmented red paste called ojitze, which makes said braids look surprisingly similar to Knuckles’ spikes.

I know that traditionally only the women use ojitze, but I still think it would work incredibly well for a human Knuckles, and I’d adore to see an artist make an Omuhimba interpretation of him
