Mere Existence (Sketch)

Description

Many witches are said to be shape-shifters. They can alternate their physical appearance to imitate that of whatever they desire, be it earthly, heavenly, or deathly.

(Apologies for bad quality, hopefully it'll become clearer when I CG it, but I'll explain in the description what each part means XD)

This is a gift for my Oneechan~! :iconmagicbats: :3 This description will also be included in the fully coloured one, IF I get that done XD

I basically wanted to thank her for everything she's done for me, I don't think I appreciate her enough so hopefully this'll say something!
Basically, since Ami is a witch, she can manipulate her form into anything, but since she isn't the best witch out there, this can only be things that symbolise or represent something that she has been through or reminds people of. Each "window" shows a variation of what Amilyn can change into, for various reasons.

The first one is a reference to a piece done by ~MagicBats, which depicts her character Light standing on a cliff overlooking a city with a rifle on her shoulder. A little violet butterfly rests on the tip of the rifle, obviously representing Ami. I chose a butterfly as one thing she can change into because butterflies are delicate, young and adore flowers. I absolutely love watching them flutter around. :heart:

The second window is represents Ami as a candle, a reference to a nickname that Oneechan gave me a while ago, after stating that although the fire I used to have inside was doused to a mere candle, that candle still flickers and glows, lighting up the dimmest of places. "Candle" is something that she calls me a lot, and this also references another piece done by ~MagicBats :)

The third window on the left shows Light falling through the sky (though it's hard to tell, my apologies ;_; ) with a magpie soaring next to her. This is quite a new idea that Ami could use, but I chose a magpie because magpies are supposed to symbolise witchcraft and are said to love collecting shiny things, which is also something I love doing. I frequently see magpies here and there where I live, and it is said that various numbers of magpies represent different messages :3

The window opposite that shows Light laying on her side with a tiny kitten next to her - this represents Ami's Mobius counterpart, but not when she's actually drawn in Sonic style XD Kittens are playful, curious and fragile, and since Light also draws herself as a lioness sometimes and says to me that she has a motherly instinct over me, I thought it would be nice to give Ami a kitten counterpart to represent the child that the great mother lioness watches over and protects!

The window below that (apologies if this is confusing XD) is pretty hard to make out, but ~MagicBats told me that she has a necklace with a sun and moon charm on it, and she told me that she thought of herself as the sun, and me as the moon, and as long as we both hang there on that chain, we won't be apart :) :heart:

The LAST window shows Light standing in a snow shower (there IS a little secret in this one and that apparent "shadow" isn't actually a shadow) and Ami's main power is the ability to manipulate snow and ice, which is basically what's going on in this part XD

Apologies for the long description, I just wanted to clear anyone of confusion if they weren't sure :)
I hope you like this Oneechan, hopefully it'll look a lot better when fully finished!
I love you, sis!

- Your little Mei~Mei :heart:
