This was a little impromptu collab between me and my best friend in the whole world, @koilada - I say "impromptu" because it really wasn't planned, I was just spamming her with sketches one day and she decided to give this one a ✨glow-up✨
The lovely lady with the poppy in her hair is mine, her name is Ludwika (Lulu, to most) and she's a phoenix in human form. The sharp-dressed cutie on the right is my friend's, his name is Koen, he's a mer-prince experiencing the world of humans up close for the first time.
Some time ago, my friend and I simultaneously got the idea to revive our old characters and give their stories a little much-needed updating. In the process, a joke was made about incorporating them into each other's stories, and uhhhh... a few months and several RPs later, they're now each other's best friend (and well on their way to being more, ehehe). They have a really fun, sweet, and playful dynamic that I just adore and have quickly taken hold of my heart. They're our babies. 💕
