Another little creature I've made for the tatsukoi lore event!

*"Vinxes are rare, small mammals of rational and sophisticated intelligence that present characteristics of multiple creatures, including canidae, felidae, and even tatsukoi.

While their bodies are quadrupedal, their faces seem to relate somewhat to your regular tatsukoi, even if on a smaller scale, and Vinxes tend to present whiskers similarly so. They are long-lived creatures that don't reproduce very often, instead opting to aggregate themselves with other groups, preferably of similar cognitive abilities, so that they may share in bonding and familial connections. It is more common to see these creatures overseeing a family, clan, or institution as assistants and councilors, keeping track of records from past occurrences and historical facts, and even taking a nurturing role over the members of said group. They do not accept being treated as pets, but won't refuse chin scratches from their favorite people.

In contrast, upon first meeting, they tend not to get along with each other, measuring their personalities from a distance and exchanging very subtle communications, but may eventually come to associate in time. That stems from the fact that Vinxes seem to be rather competitive, especially when talking about their abilities, families, and work, and may initiate a turf war if both sides don't see eye to eye.

They can be extremely loyal companions, dotting on their favorite people and acting as secretaries, coordinators, and even nannies, but they do require a certain level of pampering to keep doing so, and might even stubbornly refuse to help if their demands are not met."*

These two are mine - Rose and Tropicael - but I'm hoping to make more in the future!
