Jijoi! Symbolism explanation below cut
First, design. Jijoi’s face is partially based on a possible bust of Smenkhare, who is part of a fringe theory that Nefertiti became pharaoh and adopted a male presentation later in life, maybe being trans. I haven't decided on a default hairstyle for him, just that it's popular for people in his sect to wear top knots as a cultural miscommunication of some images that got brought over. The hairstyle is loosely based on Egyptian hairstyles from late Antiquity- I've seen a few half up hairstyles like this, and the corkscrew curls seem to have been characteristic of local Egyptian hairdressing. This is possible with styling on curly hair, these days people use flexirods for this affect and I've seen Northeast Africans wear their hair like this as a cultural style. The cap is referenced from a Coptic sprang cap.
The tendrils by his ears are a reference to grey herons, black crowned night herons, and demoiselle cranes, all of which have a trailing feather by their eyes leading off the back of their heads. All three of these birds are seen in Egypt and are known to engage in homosexual activity.
Jijoi’s name comes from an older name meaning "bearer of the side lock", and epithet for Horus in the form of a child, worshipped under the name Harpocrates. Harpocrates gained an association as the god of secrets dye to a miscommunication of a visual pun by Greeks and Romans, and in Rome was associated with roses (see the term "sub rosa"). Wether the Ancient Egyptians adopted these signifers as well isn't something I can state, but I combined the roses here with eyes, which are natively associated with Horus.
