Citlali Paloma Saraí🌊🪸🪼

From the tropical coastline of Central America, now a Support course student at UA. She specializes in practical and fashion design.

She strictly breathes water and constantly needs her gills to be wet when above water. In places that are less humid of where she can’t constantly take a dip in a lake, she uses a device that covers her gills, keeping water on them. (includes a mouthpiece)

Her hair holds a story. Mainly showing her mental state and status of independence. When she leaves home to study abroad, she has no one to do her hair which results in simplistic and messy hairstyles. She only lets close family and friends do her hair. Thus showing she is somewhat alone and doesn’t have close and trustworthy friends yet. Not ones that she considers family.

When she’s an adult, she learns how to do her own hair and even includes more decorative aspects like beads, cloth, seaweed, pearls, etc. expressing herself and showing how independent Citlali has become.

I took inspiration from Mexico and Guatemala in her design. And other mermaid-like sources like the water Na’vi, sea people from Luca, and the people of Talokan.

Her story and design will change over time as I continue to develop her character. Things aren’t set in stone :)
