Description

Ahaha, I did it! I drew all of Kenyas featherbrained friends!
When I first thought about Kenya with a dozen birds, I inwardly groaned. If I had to look after those birds, I'd probably pick a favourite and leave the rest at a nursery or something. But then I thought about Kenya and how she would react, and I was surprised. Kenya comes from a world where your family unit is the strongest force you have. She is used to living in a group where everyone has responsibilities and you mutually look out for one another. Having a flock of chocobos would be such a welcome gift to her. She would raise each from an egg and look after them. I imagine she also falls asleep in the stables frequently.
I then thought about Kenya with humans. When I first made her, she was aloof and quiet. I was originally trying to make one of those 'cool' characters, but now I like to think that that aloofness was her reaction to such a jarring experience. She is quiet because she still struggles with words and human mannerisms. I like to think this group of birds will warm her up. Perhaps I can show more of her familial tendencies along with it. I picture her being a bit of a mom to Ham, and perhaps cuddly with Harry (since he's a toy and she's used to feline forms of showing affection). I could see her starting to do it to Haero too, but I don't know how he'd react, haha.
I'd love to hear your guys' opinions on this too. :D

THIS IS SO STINKING COOL!!!!!!! AAAAAUGH the colors are so PRETTY and everything looks GREAT and the backstory makes sense and I LIKE THIS OKAY. 

Also the idea of Kenya cuddling with Harry is kind of adorable. XD I can see him beign totally down with it, since as a toy he's used to physical contact and doesn't have the human concerns about whether or not it's 'proper' to snuggle with a human friend. ....Oh my word I bet so many people would mistake them for a dating couple and they'd both be completely oblivious XD
