Completed pets:

• belleagio: Shadow Skeith. My spoiled princess. Started as a red Skeith. I was going to paint her transparent for the longest time, but finally decided on Shadow after much hemming and hawing once I had the NP.
• wunderking: Alien Aisha. Started as a male blue Aisha with the intention of reading him as many books as possible. Painted him striped after a while, then started working on his customization. At some point, his sideswept wig became part of it & I started zapping him, trying to change her color to Alien. His/her gender started changing fairly often, and I started thinking of her as genderfluid. Finally got to paint her Alien during the Faerie quest event this year & got a FFQ pass!
• suszahnn: Halloween Bori. Started as a green Kacheek, which was my childhood favorite pet. I was not attached to her at all for a long time and started morphing & painting her pretty regularly. She was an eventide Lenny for quite a bit before I finally decided on a Halloween Bori. She's my darling little goth gal now & I'm quite pleased with her.
• yeeeeeaaaaah: Cloud Gnorbu. Started as a male, blue Lupe. He was my first pet when I came back to Neopets & made saintpotter my main account. Morphed & painted him into a cloud Gnorbu at some point, then changed her gender much later. She's on a side right now while I zap starjumps on my main, so she usually has a complete outfit...
• sweetword: Jelly Skeith. A dreamy of mine for a while! During the Faerie quest event this year, I got a grey faerie quest that gave me a second FFQ pass! After having painted wunderking, I snatched up a green female Skeith from the pound and painted her jelly. She's raspberry flavored! :9
• Cheerest: Jelly Grarrl. Snatched him up from the pound recently, as he was!
• nojsj: Snot Kougra. Determined, at some point, that I needed a snot pet. Saw this guy in the pound a while back & adopted right away.
• sauront: Plushie Grarrl. I loved his name! I don't think he was a Grarrl when I adopted him, maybe he was a Moehog or something? I was really wanting a Plushie Grarrl at the time, and the name just inspired me. :o)
• Frankiemon: Rainbow Nimmo. I had seen a rainbow Nimmo a few days prior and became totally envious! I started looking for a Nimmo to adopt. I was drawn to him (originally a red Nimmo) because my friend has a character named Frankie. I saw that it was his birthday, so balloons were falling on his page & his crying portrait made me so sad, haha. I adopted him right away & painted him.
• Mirukuaisu: Spotted Kau. I wanted a Kau a while ago. Tried to adopt one with a nice name, but ultimately just made one (blue at first). Her name means Milk Ice I guess, pfft.

Unfinished pets:

• starjumps: Speckled Moehog. I'm hopping to zap her into a Royalgirl Elephante... I'm not very patient! I think she was a Halloween Moehog when I adopted her.
• bingit: Baby Korbat. Another dreamie! Made her as a red korbat. Her name is an inside joke between a few friends and I... Kind of dumb now, but oh well. Not done with her customization!
• snotnuts: Christmas Vandagyre. Made her shortly after Vandagyres were released. Named after something from HTTYD, haha. Not done with her customization.
• blueberrylychee: Christmas Aisha. One of my first pets on my side. I don't remember what she was when I first made her, but morphed & painted her into a Christmas Aisha a while back. Not done with her customization.
• littletangerine: Baby Pteri. I don't remember what she was at first, either. Fell in love with baby Pteris when I was helping a friend decide on her next baby pet. Not done with her customization.
• tunasandwiches: Halloween Grarrl. My first Grarrl! I just wanted a female Grarrl & didn't know what to do with her for a while. I think she was originally blue. Not done with her customization.
