New character! Haven’t made a name for her yet, but I did for her cat lol. More under da cut.

The cats name is Missus Baubles and I love it.

I wanted to give her a secretary-esque and art-deco look while adorning classy accessories. Unlike Alicia, she cannot breath the surrounding air very well, hence her ventilation mask.

I've wanted to introduce these fellas for a very long time, but here's my automaton band! I love them alot, they mean alot to me, and I hope you like them too! They used to reside at a fairground decades ago, and nowadays they are retired at the Clarkston Historical Museum. (There's a whole crazy story with what happened between then and now, but that's to be told another time)
