Chimera Aya Design -color-

While working on another pic, I was struck by a sudden urge to color this. So I did, rather quickly. I'll put the old one into scraps.

A character design work for Aya Florentine, Post-Chimera after the events of COA:New World Order. Her new outfit and design are supposed to be a mix of both human and kitsune features.

At the end of COA:A Chosen One, she agreed to serve under Miles, and she played a pivotal role in the defeat of the Eggman and Perfect Defense Fortress Helios. Seeing her rising popularity as a threat to their own more extreme ambitions, Aya was tricked (largely by her own sister Mya) by her comrades and superiors into leading a peace party into kitsune territory. However, the delegation was in fact part of an exchange of experimental subjects, and Aya and her subordinates were seized by Clans Tukaido and Jel'Arah who then, in secrecy, turned them into half-human half-kitsune Chimeras for breeding purposes. At the end of NWO, Aya had just escaped from her cell...
