Yulma (profile update 2021)

Nov 11, 2021

A bit out of the blue on this update! I had the sudden desire to see Yulma updated, and happily, that was a process that only took a day to finish up, so here she is! Luckily, the last time she got updated was kinda recent (start of last year), and while that was just prior to when I started my new rendering style and a few changes to my design standards, it was close enough to make bringing her up-to-date a lot easier.

Yulma's another of my older characters, and while she did get a little intro in her last update, there's a bunch of her personality that's remained fuzzy/outdated, so I'll try to flesh things out a bit more today. ^^ As a demon/elf mixture, she's particularly powerful magic-wise, and in particular she's very good at retrieving swallowed tinies, a little trick that others often come to her for (undoing accidental gulps of friends, etc). Of course, it's something she can do for her own prey as well, just to get more time playing with them, or in some rarer cases, so she can eat someone and then let them go; she's pretty casual about it, after all Paeratopa has innate respawns, so it doesn't really matter if she keeps or releases. Mostly depends on whether she caught someone because she's hungry or just a little bored. Tinies she teleports out of friends' stomachs on request may likewise find themselves taking a trip to her stomach afterwards, though she'll still return them after, of course. All in all, she's a friendly person; playful like most Paerans, but not inclined to tease, at least not intentionally. Certainly plenty of unintended teases come from that casualness of hers, but also from the fact that she cares very little for the concept of personal space, she just doesn't see the point of it; politeness is one thing, but there's nothing rude about being extra-close to someone, or even just blithely licking someone's cheek, providing it's not interrupting anything of course. I mean, it hurts no-one and they often taste good, so why shouldn't she? :P

Yulma (profile update 2020)

Feb 4, 2020

An update for one of my oldest designs, Yulma! And a happy birthday to her as well; I only just realized her birthday was yesterday. :D

Yulma is a long time coming for an update like this, a full refresh of her design. She's still the same Yulma, but now she actually looks the way I've imagined her; a little more mature, a striking set of horns and tail, slightly enigmatic - but still friendly - look...

Despite how long she's been in my roster, I don't think she's gotten much introduction before. Nothing remotely up-to-date, at least. Yulma is a demon/elf mixture, naturally of the Paeran variety. Besides the horns and tail and ears, what that means for her is that she's particularly powerful, magically; Paeran demons are not so much demonic, but have a lot of magical strength, while Paeran elves tend to have a bit more ability to shape their magics into more than just the usual size manipulation. Beyond that, Yulma is relatively quiet and doesn't aim to draw attentions to herself. She enjoys walking, and makes a habit of strolling the city each day, mentally mapping out all the bits and districts that might have rearranged themselves overnight. She likes hearty, meaty meals, just as much as she enjoys finding a nice sweets shop and loading up on pastries. And of course, she loves snacking on tiny humans, but you probably could have guessed that. :3 There's always plenty of opportunity to find new snacks when she's wandering the city so often.
