Ha, no worries. I don't get mad at questions unless they're jerky ones.



No webbed hands because her "job" as a mermaid was to find pretty things (hence all those pearls and her obsession with shiny, beautiful objects) and she'd need separate fingers to manipulate objects. Besides, I doubt little tiny webs between her fingers would add much. She does however, have some stabilizer dorsal fins on her shoulders (you can see one there) and on the spine of her lower back.



I didn't think of the separate eyelid, but maybe? I query if her eyes and body can just handle the salt better. I try to keep a balance of what I think makes sense physically, and what makes sense to make her playable. ^^ I guess the comparison I was trying to make has a lot to do with the world she exists in. There are two types of mermaids (and really any mythical beings) - there are "magical" mermaids (which cannot be seen by mortals, are affected by disbelief and have "mortal" seemings like other Changeling do) and "real" mermaids (which are creatures left over from by-gone eras - they live, eat and breathe just like regular critters do. They are not affected by disbelief in thea, and can totally be seen by mortals). A could see a "magical" mermaid having a big, billowy tail that isn't practical for actual swimming because they rely on magic to do the "heavy lifting" of living. Kiki doesn't have that luxury - she needs that big thick tail to push herself along. So I mean, I'm not so neurotic that I've drawn out her internal organs or anything, but I try to keep reality in mind.



I hope I explained that better?
