My character was drawn this way is show a great deal of curiosity, fun-loving, without a care in the world, naughty, mischievous yet good hearted at the same time.


Thus, this character is greatly referenced by a cat.


Research(Inspiration):



The eyes of the cat represent the eyes of my character, mischievous and street smart.




The bandana she wears emphasizes the poverty she is facing and that is most probably why she left to do this business(of stealing).

Name: Phoebe
Story:
Long time ago, in a small town located far northwest of the Great City, a bunch of haughty thieves wreck havoc once again. Phoebe, the first female leader of her band of mischievous thieves. With witty tactics and lightning fast reflexes, they are able to evade local guards and steal merchandise with ease from stores. However, another worthy adversary arrives. Lina, who is Phoebe's childhood friend, leads a band of thugs to plunder and torment Phoebe.



Driving force:
Phoebe only seeks for fun. Being playful and mischievous, she might be willing to steal - but her motto is to never physically harm people. When her childhood friend Lina showed up, Lina plundered and harmed people for the sake of greed and power. Phoebe chose to stop Lina and her evil ways of stealing by helping the people get rid of Lina from the town.

Appearance:

1) Phoebe's key feature is the eyes and mouth. It resembles a cat's features. The slit eyes and curvy mouth. These features makes Phoebe look nimble and mischievous like a cat.

2) Phoebe wears a hat wrapped with a bandana and a collar around her neck that is given by her mother. This shows that she comes from a poor family.

3) She wears slightly revealing clothing with bright and cheerful colours. This reflects her mischievous and playful personality.

Behaviour:

1)Phoebe is playful and mischievous. She can steal from people in a flash.

2) When Phoebe walks down the street, she takes big strides swings her arms back and forth in a wide arc like a small child. She always wears a cheeky smile on her face.

3) As much as Phoebe steals, she lives by the motto to not hurt anyone physically.
