Cassidy was a vagabond and a skilled one at that. The people in her troupe would often come to her to mend clothes and other trinkets. She was discovered by a man who spied one of her creations, a top hat fashioned out of old cans, and hired her on the spot. She was a hard worker and climbed the corporate ladder quite fast. She topped the fashion industry with her clothes being sold in every store across the country and, although she was busy, she didn't forget the people who helped her get to where she was now. She donated to build homes for them and helped them get jobs. In her newest design, she manage to incorporate her past and her present. She said quote, This way, I'll always have a piece of home with me. Let's hope she doesn't mean that literally.

This avatar stood out with its coloring, but the green on top threw of its color scheme. The story was a nice touch.

I really like this avatar, but the green bow on the head doesn't really match anything, so I think it'd probably be better without it. Also, some of the blacks are off, but as I said, I do like it

Min was born into a family of weavers and to being born into such a family meant being born a weaver. Life was not well, as Min grew up, she and her family noticed her lack of skill in embroidering and the works. She was clumsy, made big, sloppy stitches, and pricked herself quite often. As a last ditch effort, her parents sent her of the best seamstress in town, Mistress Chui.

Mistress Chui no longer worked but taught. Although, old, she was wise and graceful; walking with the poise of a young lady. She had an all-knowing smile which she wore wherever she went. At their first meeting, Min greeted Mistress Chui and in response Mistress Chui took Min’s hands and held them up for inspection. “These hands aren’t made for embroidering”, she said which shocked Min. What would she tell her parents? “But, Mistress Chui stated, smiling, these are hands made for fighting.”

Through the years they trained hard, Min became an excellent fighter in a strain of karate that focused on kicks. Mistress Chui had taught her everything there was to know and more but there was one last thing, one final task that needed to be done. Min needed a weapon.

Mistress Chui had a pair of special gloves, one that held needles between her knuckles and with these she would manipulate twine and strings to bind her opponent and force them into submission. She thought it would be appropriate for Min to have a weapon similar to her class. She asked Min to make a whip woven from the finest silks. Min thought it was impossible. She could barely stitch or sew!

Miraculously, after many sleepless nights with help, she had managed to make one. There were many cuts all over her hands and arms which she hid with bandages. It was softer than sheep’s wool but tougher than steel. She presented it to Mistress Chui who simply smiled and whispered, “You’ve passed.”

Adiya was no god but she was just as important. She held the keys to the afterlife. After the appropriate rituals were held she would then escort the dead to their final destinations.

Score: Style 9 + 9 + 7 + 6 = 31/40
Technique: 9 + 8 + 7 + 9 = 33/40
Execution: 5 + 8 + 3 + 7 = 23/40
Feedback: Gosh, this is just really cool looking. I love the contrast of the dark colors and the bright gold. I do have to say though, that your head is really heavy compared to the body. I can see that you tried to balance it out with the tail, but it just sticks out and is kind of awkward.
Feedback:This is really pretty and kind of scary at the same time. I'm not fond of the feet.
Feedback: This one wasn't really my thing. High ratings for technique, but the wild gold colors sticking out don't make sense to me; I don't see what you're going for. It's kinda shaman-y, kinda royal, kinda Egyptian, kinda valkyrie.
Total: 23 + 25 + 17 + 22 = 87/120
