I didn’t have the time to do Inktober. So I decided to go for OCtober instead and taking the opportunity to draw some characters from my original story that I haven’t gotten to yet. First up is Farfalla’s girlfriend, Kalamoi. To see this picture in higher resolution, click HERE. Also, here’s a bio:
Name: Kalamoi (No last Name) Age: 19 Hair: Brown (Male side), Red (Female side) Eye Color: Grey (Male side), Green (Female side) Skin-color: Mid-Pale Occupation: Researcher & Homemaker Family: Parents (Unknown), Farfalla (Boyfriend) Favorite Food: Lukmo Sugar Water (Lukmo has a peach-like flavor)
Additional Information: Kalamoi first met Farfalla when she happened to run into one of his siblings, who got lost. Grateful for helping find him, Farfalla invites her to his home, where they get to know each other more. As time goes on, they bond over their mutual interests (mainly in cooking and handcrafts). She eventually gets a stay-at-home job as a researcher (A lot of Terah’s history was destroyed a long time ago and she tries to piece things together.). Whenever new information is found, it’s sent to her to be analyzed. She has a somewhat timid personality but isn’t afraid to lash out when pushed to it.
Kalamoi is a Gynandromorph, called “Rarities” in the Chou Kingdom. Kalamoi, like most Rarities, was sent to a facility as a child where she and others like her were living in a place where they were displayed to everyone, as a means of respect (Despite how strange that sounds, it’s a sign of high regard among the Chou.) Once she was old enough to live on her own, she was given the means to live a life of luxury but decided to live in a standard home, using her earnings for other purposes. Despite being more masculine in appearance, by Chou standards, she embraces her female side more. While it was a struggle at first, she eventually learns to accept both sides of herself. She also admires Farfalla’s gentle nature (He was also the first person to call both sides of her “Beautiful”.). When pretty much the whole Chou Kingdom was against Farfalla for joining Irio’s cause, she and Farfalla’s siblings were the only ones to support him.
Trivia: Kalamoi’s name means “Half and Half”. She was one of the hardest characters for me to draw, due to her asymmetrical design (the arms and legs especially).
