Just a cute little Late Halloween story with my oc Naira going trick or treating!

The nights were starting to get colder, crisp leaves falling in colorful array from the trees. Naira had spent the day looking for more blankets to add to her slowly growing pile, preparing for the cold winter snow. She finished folding them all and crawled out of her house, a makeshift lean-to of old boxes and scraps constructed in a back alley away from the road. Humming a tune she had heard while looking around the shops earlier, Naira straightened up her house. "The leg bone connect to..... hips bone..... hips bone connect to back bones.... back is connected to..... um.... to all bones! Shaky the skelety boooones!” She sang out happily, if off tune, then glanced up as a group walked past the alley entry, chatting and laughing. Naira fell silent and pulled back out of sight, poking her head out to watch. The people all had colorful clothes on and the many children held bags. What are they doing? Where are they all going? Maybe its a parade! I like parades. Naira’s curiosity won out, and she dropped what was in her hands, scurrying after the group that had disappeared around the corner.

Naira followed behind the gaggle of children for a while, stopping and waiting by the street as the group approached a house. The yard was all covered in graves, spiders, skeletons, and other spooky things that made Naira nervous and she didn't want to get to close. She had seen scary things showing up all over the place over the past few weeks, and it made her nervous to go out. But these people didn't seem worried or scared at all as they walked up and knocked on the door. “Trick or treat!!!” Naira jumped as the kids yelled out when the door swung open, but the big person that opened it just laughed and started handing things outs, dropping small items into eagerly raised bags and hands. What are those? Trick or treat? I like treats... But not tricks. Are they... Giving treats? Naira perked up at the thought, but hesitated. Treats cost money, and she didn't have that. Did the big people in the group give money? She couldn't remember seeing that, but she might have missed it.

Ducking behind a bush quickly, Naira hid from the group as they came down the walk to the side walk again. She watched from her hiding spot as the Children ran down to the next house. Just as she was about to step out to follow them she heard more talking from behind her, so Naira stayed hidden in her bush as they passed. There are more kids! Are... They going to do it too? Oooh! I can watch and see if they're money treats! Very pleased with her idea, Naira stayed hidden and watched the smaller group as they approached and completed the same steps. Knock. "Trick or treat!" Little things put in bags. Leave to next house. No money? She hadn't seen any. Which meant... “I can get some!” Naira squealed excitedly, then looked around to make sure no one had heard her. She waited a minute to make sure no one else walked by then scampered out of the bush and slowly made her way past the scary things in the yard, expecting them to jump out at her any moment, hugging herself protectively and ready to run any second. Only relaxing when she reached the porch, Naira tucked a lose strand of her thick wavy black hair behind her ear, raising a small hand to knock softly on the door. She nervously bit her lip as she tensly waited the few quiet moments before the door opened. In the door way was a middle aged couple, and Naira stared up at them with her mouth opening and closing like a little fish as she tried to remember what to say. “..........treat?” She finally squeaked out. The woman smiled and held out a bowl as the man chuckled, "Of course dear! Which would you like?" Naira’s eyes widened at the amount of little packages in the bowl, pointing to a larger red one. The man pulled it out and looked for a bag before just setting it in Nairas waiting hands. “There you go! Happy Halloween!" Naira stared with huge silver eyes at the candy she held protectively in both her hands, then looked up with an excited grin. "Thank you!” She waved at the two and scurried off the porch, practically running to the next house she had seen the groups go to. Again she snuck past the spooky things in the grass, then knocked a little more confidently on this door. When the young man opened it and looked out, Naira happily shouted out the password to get a treat. "Trick or treat!" He didn't say much, looking down at his phone as he grabbed a handful of candy from a basket and dropped them into her waiting hands. "There go. Have fun." With that he closed the door, missing Naira's elated expression. She happily giggled with her handful of candy, skipping down to the next house and doing it again. The small girl in a slightly raggedy sweater and all alone did get a few questioning looks, but all wished Naira a happy Halloween and got a smile out of her childish enthusiasm and excitement at each treat she received.

Her hands were starting to get full as she skipped up to the next house on the block, knocking and waiting patently for the door to open. A little girl stood there, witch hat balanced precariously on her head. Before Naira could say the words to get a treat, the girl spoke up. "What are you?" Naira looked at the girl, confused. "Uh... I'm Naira...?" They stared blankly at each other for a moment before the girl clarified. "What are you dressed up as? I'm a witch!" she claimed, pointing to her hat. Dressed up as? Am... I supposed to be? Thinking about it, maybe that's what all the others had been wearing! Costumes! Before Naira could answer, a woman came to the door and handed Naira a candy, quietly scolding her daughter about answering the door alone. Naira thanked them, and went back to the sidewalk. She walked slowly as she pondered what she had just learned. A costume? Should I find one? But what would I be? Maybe I can find one. Oh! I know! Naira turned and sped back to her alley, careful not to drop any of her precious treats. Crawling into her box fort, Naira tucked the candy under her pillow then dug around for a specific blanket she had found a few days ago. She tied two of the ends around her shoulders, grinning happily. She grabbed a smaller handkerchief to use as a Bag then hurried out to continue her trick or treating.

Naira skipped down the street, waving at those she saw and flapping the black blanket tied around her. Running up to a house she hadn't been to before, she knocked and waited, hopping excitedly and waving her “wings” when the door opened. "Trick or treat! I'm a bat!" Naira exclaimed to the slightly surprised old man standing there, happily flapping at him. He chuckled and nodded. "I can see. You make a very nice bat." Naira squeaked joyfully, holding her bag up as the gentleman waved her closer to get some treats, grinning excitedly at the chocolate he dropped in. "There you go little bat. Happy Halloween!" He waved to Naira as she pretended to fly down the path to the next house.

Naira spent the next while cheerfully getting free treats, suprised and over joyed at all the food she was getting in one day. She was starting to get tired as the sun began to set, night chill starting to settle in. Deciding she had plenty of treats from the surprising trick or treat game, Naira started back to her home, singing a made up song to herself again. "Happy Halloweens! Happy candies! Trick and treat gets me sweets! Yummy yummy treats! Bat bat go flap flap, wheeeeee!” Holding her blanket wings out to the side she zoomed down the sidewalk, but slowed when she saw a small figure sitting on the curb. It was a little boy, dressed like a turtle and hugging a purple pumpkin bucket. Naira slowly approached him, realizing that he was crying softly. She hesitantly sat next to him and spoke quietly. "Hi. Are you okay?" The boy looked up, sniffling and wiping at his runny nose. "I-I lost m-my m... M-mommy." He whimpered. “Oh. I' m sorry. But its okay! I'm sure she'll find you! I can wait with you if you want?" Naira offered. When the boy nodded quietly she scooted a little closer and put her blanket wings around him to keep him warm. “I'm Naira! Nice to meet you. Did you go trick or treating for candy to?” The boy nodded and showed her his bucket that had a few pieces of candy in it. “I'm Liam. I only got a-a little c-candy."

"Do you want some of mine?" Naira reached into her bag and pulled out a handful of her precious treats, dumping it in his bucket. Liam looked up in surprise and a smile crept over his face. "Thanks! I like your blanket. Its warm." Naira giggled, waving the half not wrapped around Liam. "Thanks! I'm a bat. What are you?" Liam held up his toy sword and swished it in the air. “I'm a ninja turtle!" “ Oh! That's cool! I like your sword, it looks fun." Liam was about to answer when they heard a call from a bit away. "Oh! That's mom!" Liam jumped up, grabbing Naira’s hand and tugging her along as he ran towards the voice. "Mommy! I'm here! I made a friend, she shared her candy with me!" Naira scurried after him, waving at the woman he ran to. "Liam! Where where you? I was worried, are you okay? Who's this?" She picked Liam up and looked at Naira with a smile. "Where are your parents dear? It's getting dark." Naira smiled at the nice lady and pointed down the street towards the alley she lived in. "I'm Naira! And its okay, I live over there, I'm going home now." Naira waved at her new friend Liam and turned to go now that he had found his mom. "Happy Halloween! bye bye Liam!"

Naira skipped home, happy she had been able to help her friend feel better and happy about the treats she had gotten. All the spooky stuff seemed less scary now, and she went past them with out any fear. She hugged her blanket close as the night chill crept in, crawling into her box fort and dumping the new treats with the others in her little stash. Crawling into her little pile of blankets Naira let out a yawn and curled up. She smiled to herself as she drifted off to sleep “Happy Halloweens." she mumbled before contentedly letting the warm blankets claim her.

Who Are Those Chibi Characters? [10 Anniversary Special]

So you’re now accustomed to the gallery and all its intricacies. But you’re probably wondering what those Chibi characters are adorning the header (and several other areas, like on Twitter, DeviantArt, Pixiv, and the 10 Anniversary Poster). I’ve already explained a little bit on both DeviantArt and Pixiv where they come from. But now I’ll give a full explanation as to when they were created, what they were associated with, what years they represent, and if they’ll still have any use in any projects or stories I create.

I should probably start with the fish, the odd-man out of the entire group. Finne is my mascot. He technically debuted in 2006 under a different name and part of a fan-game idea. However in 2009, I started drawing him more frequently among my friends and family, acting as something of a calling card whenever I was around and I wanted to leave behind a drawing. He was quick and easy to draw compared to other characters I’ve done. He soon became part of my “DeadPhoenX” logo in 2010. My gaming blog “The Wired Fish” was also named after him and incorporated into the site’s logo. Today, he’s still in almost everything I do. As a matter of fact, since 2015 he’s included as an Easter egg in all original art (not fanart) that I do. Think can you find him? He represents years 2010-2013. Artwork With Finne: He's everywhere! 

Chelsí is the next one, full name Chelsí Pleinair. Her creation is an interesting case and is something that almost every girl in this group has in common. She was created in 2004 as “Chelsea” and was a schoolgirl with a French Painter theme. Her design was inspired by a line of Lollipop Girls dolls that my sister was collecting. The story she was included in was actually a hentai story I had concepts of. However that went nowhere with the story being scrapped (but the characters being retained for repurposing in other stories). She was then (somewhat subconsciously) repurposed for a medieval fantasy story as a French-themed princess around late 2005. Like before, it too was hentai themed. However that story was scrapped too (with the characters being retained as well). So she was never drawn again until 2015. There was a ribbed sweater craze going on in the ecchi art community, and I was wondering how I could get in on it. Then I remembered having a French painter girl in my repertoire of characters that wore a sweater. So I brought her back with her old design and under a new name spelling, Chelsí, and made her sweater ribbed. Once uploaded, she became my postergirl for everything I do, representing the art side of things. Since she debuted in very late 2015 but had more art in 2016, she represents 2016. Artwork with Chelsí: What Am I Going to Draw Today (2015), No Valentine's Day Pic (2016), I'm Ready To Paint (2016), Chelsí's Summer Fashion (2016), Joyeuse Saint Valentin (2017), Zis Chandail, It'z So Low! [Virgin Killer Sweater] (2017) 

The catgirl, Rhapsody, was actually something of an error in both name and design. Starting with the name, she was actually a short-and-pink-haired catgirl. She debuted with a set of 5 catgirls and was part of a regular story idea I had. You can still find her tucked away in my DeviantArt gallery. All catgirls I’ve ever drawn had musically themed names. Here’s where the error part comes in. I had another catgirl under a different name that has the current white paws, pink stripes, and blonde hair look. She was part of a hentai story idea that saw all the catgirls from the normal story repurposed to here and completely naked. So she was a new addition to the group. When it came time to draw her and Lullaby together on DeviantArt, I realized too late that I accidentally named the new girl Rhapsody. So I pretty much gave her the Street Fighter II treatment. She would stay as Rhapsody while the old one would have whatever name the new girl originally had. She represents her online debut year, 2007. Artwork with Rhapsody: Wanna Play a Game (2007), Purrrfect Valentine's Day (2015) 

Belinda comes from the second hentai story idea that Chelsí once appeared in. All I could remember was that she was a witch, and that’s about it. Any details about her relevance to the story were all forgotten. In 2015, I wanted to get in on the Halloween art and had the perfect character I could use. So I brought back Belinda from the Scraps ghetto and gave her the full artwork treatment 10 years later (since the story she was in was conceived in 2005). She currently doesn’t have much of a story and is really only made for anything Halloween/spooky themed. Since she made her online debut in 2006, that’s the year she represents. Artwork with Belinda: Belinda's Halloween Rush (2015) Next is Harriette. She came from the same hentai story that Rhapsody came from. Talking more about that story, the theme of it was mythical fantasy-creature girls. Not necessarily monster girls, but things like Mermaids, wood nymphs, fairies, angels, catgirls, etc. Harriette (whose original name was simply Fluffy), was one of only two bunnygirls in that story. She never made her debut online and was never repurposed for any other story. When Easter 2015 was close by, I figured it was time I drew her again. However since Japanese artists and quite a bit of the ecchi/hentai community like it, I decided to make her a bit thicker this time, as well as give her a new name. Her name is actually a pun on “Hare”, which actually gave me a hard time sometimes when I would say her name out loud and trying to squeeze the “Hare” in there. I’ve since given up and just pronounce it like normal. Since someone already has 2015, Harriette’s online debut year, she instead represents 2005, the year before I joined DeviantArt (and having any online presence). Artwork with Harriette: Harriette Easter Surprise (2015), Please... Gimme That Chocolate Carrot (2017)

The No-Name Mermaid comes from the same hentai story as Harriette and Rhapsody. She actually had a name back then, however around that time naming things didn’t really work too well. I can’t remember her name right now, but it was probably something simple and dumb. So now she doesn’t have a name. She was paired with another mermaid in that story that I might draw in the future. I wanted to do something water themed in 2015 that would help me flex my background-making muscles at the time. In bringing her back, I changed up her tail fin design a bit, and also made the tied hair more straight instead of making it flow out like big strands. She represents her online debut year, 2015. Maybe she’ll finally have a name before the decade ends! Artwork with the No-Name Mermaid: Sailing Through The Sea (2015) 

Lola’s origin is actually kinda forgotten. I can’t quite remember if she came from either a hentai story or a different story. Regardless, she ended up getting repurposed for the only story idea to make it to DeviantArt, Devangie’s Fairy Tale. She herself made her debut in 2007 with a light counterpart. However I made the mistake of building up her individual story, as well as others, before building up the world she would inhabit. This is something that I did a lot during my highschool/pre-online days. This would result in a lot of stories getting the axe and the characters shelved or repurposed. This would also include Devangie’s Fairy Tale. That story has been abandoned with all the human characters (except one of them) getting shelved. The fairies that were in that story might get repurposed back into the hentai that they were once in. I currently have plans to repurpose Lola into a normal story, this time without her light half. She represents year 2007. Artwork with Lola: Hell Hath No Fury (2007), Darket of Lolitas (2007)

Lady Jess comes from a series of girls I drew in 2009 called the BladeLadies. At the time, I was really into rock and heavy metal, getting a metal poster calendar and got inspired by the music video Ghost Town by the group Shiny Toy Guns. I remember sketching out a more realistic semi-nude Heavy-Metal inspired woman in a small sketchbook I had. Right next to her I drew this tiny puppet like thing with a cartoonish blade, a helmet covering half her head, and very pointy torpedo-tits. I wondered what this would look like if it was drawn larger. So I did that on the next page. I then got the idea to draw more of them with different boob deformations and weapons. The end result was seven of them being made. Also around this time was when I would change programs right in the middle of the series, forcibly getting switched from Picture Publisher 7 to GIMP. This was when my artwork creating skills would improve with better hardware. Lady Jess represents 2009. Artwork with Lady Mimi: Bladeladies - Lady Jess (2009)

Lady Mimi is my newest creation, making her debut in 2014 with the series BladeLadies 2nd. She was actually conceived soon after the first wave of BladeLadies ended, most likely around 2009/2010. The old theme of BladeLadies 2nd was actually based on gore, building up from the first wave’s theme of rock and heavy metal. I had drawn some BladeLadies concepts, with a few catching on. One of them was Lady Mimi with the giant piecing in her tongue and the tongue length being much shorter than now. At this time however, I had really bad artist block as well as college work eating up a huge chunk of my time. On top of that, I ended up realizing how bad I actually was at drawing gore. Upon my return to making pics on DeviantArt, I decided to bring back the BladeLadies. The theme was switched from gore to a circus, and this some had something of a story unlike the first wave. But it’s very minimal right now so that I can build the world first. Lady Mimi represents 2014. Artwork with Lady Mimi: BladeLadies 2nd (2014).

Meet the newest girl to the chibi parade, Xiuying Gushan! Like many of the other girls, Xiuying had her start in a hentai story. And like the others, when that story folded, they were all shelved. Due to my lack of knowledge on the specifics of Chinese and Japanese culture and language back then, Xiuying's original name wasn't even Chinese, but Japanese. I had desires to bring her back for a while, but I didn't find a good time to do it. I finally had a chance during this year's Lunar New Year celebration. The release did something of a snag, but I was able to upload the pic close enough to the Lunar New Year Date to be relevent enough. Currently, Xiuying is being utuilized in a story as high-ranking general. The story details won't be known anytime soon however. Xiuying represent 2017.
