BLAABR- Da Girls

Updated design to Nekane's friends Taki and Cara. Minor design tweaks to Taki but Cara I totally redid. Goal was to kinda make them seem more alt or punk-lite when compared to Ayoka and her crew that are more classic punk aesthetic.

Bad Luck and a Bank Robber- Taki and Cara

Nekane's best (and only) friends are Naia Aritza and Carmen Salcedo, or Cara for short. Neither attend Zaldun like Nekane instead having met one another while stopping by the Quote Cafe and their loud chatting about their graffiti exploits catching Nekane’s curiousity. Given her own aerosol inclinations it was a rare moment of her opening up to strangers and the girls quickly brought her in on their hobbies.

 Cara is an avid skateboarder and drummer who introduced the other two to the Spade's Park, a rundown skate park which has since become their main hangout spot while Naia is a bass player with a love for punk music and graffiti hence her nickname "Taki". Given Nekane’s own affinity for such things, the trio were quick to like each other, skating and tagging across the quarter and occasionally performing small musical stints though Nekane stuck back during these instances. Despite being separated by different schools, they still spend most of their time together and both Taki and Cara have taken a liking to Marko and his bestfriend Ghost; Taki even has a secret crush on Marko. They are little more than rebellious teenagers and unlike many other youth in the city, they have no criminal alter ego or inclination beyond graffiti and the occasional noise complaint and they conversely have no knowledge of Nekane or Marko's own secret lives.
