Creation
When I got 100 watchers on DeviantArt, I planned to give my main OC Erik a younger sister. I drew Erik, and made him more feminine. for why her hair is purple and green, the 2 colors were the closest colors to me.

Her first design was back in April 15, 2017. Back then, her hair was a bit messy and digitally added, due to forgetting to draw it traditionally. She was also drawn with smaller ears and tiny hands Instead of the boots she wears now, she had some normal sneakers.

For her second design, I fixed her hair so it was more traditionally, and enlarged her hands. Her ears were still small. Even her tail somehow got small as well.

For her third design, I gave her skirt some frills. Her tail was still small however, and her ears were now normal-sized.

For her current design, her sneakers now changed into boots, and her ears evolved from okapi ears into Sonic-like ears.
