⇀ Description

Tajira’s eyes and tongue are a bright orange. Her tail and tongue are both prehensile. It is unknown exactly how long her tongue can stretch out. Her neck mane is exceedingly fluffy. Her front and back claws are hard like diamonds and very sharp. While she lives mostly in the dream world, she can cross into the mortal realm and has set her size to be 5’5” at the shoulder. She is therefore taller all over then Mao, and can curl around her to make her feel safe.

⇀ Important Notes

• Not to be used in NSFW art ever.
• Obsessed with strawberries. They are her favorite food.
• Both her tongue and her tail are prehensile and fully controllable.

⇀ Background

I fell in love with the Oniron species, who were created by Karijn. I loved the idea of a creature born to be a protector. And since I have so many animals in real life, it made sense for me to have companion or pet animals. I waited until a design came out I really clicked with it and that’s how I found Tajira. Oniroi are creatures that prefer the world of dreams and rarely cross into the physical world. They are considered guardians against the nightmareish powers of the Barathroi. Oniroi are immortals and usually choose a lineage to protect. Each member of the family chooses a stone or a trinket that represents their inner peace and adds it to the ones already attached to the Oniron's tail.

She also keeps an eye on Shade Wildmane, as he is the adoptive “son” of Mao and under her protection, and therefore Tajira's. She also keeps a watchful eye over Jedala/Aladej and her daughter Zya, as they are the sister and niece of Mao. She is also very close friends with Barlin who is owned by Dracontiar.

⇀ Meeting Mao

Tajira is an immortal, but she finds herself quite fond of those mortals in the physical world. She often found herself watching them from the dream world, and stepping in every so often if she caught a Barathroi (creatures with nightmareish powers) bothering someone she considered too weak to stand up to them on their own. On one of these observations, she found herself watching Mao. She intervened when a Barathroi attempted to attack her on what seemed like pure instinct, she found herself acting without even thinking. She then found herself coming back again and again to watch Mao. She watched her struggle through her pain, dealing on a daily basis with fibromyalgia. One day, when it got particularly bad, she couldn't stand to just watch any more. She crossed over and curled herself around this fragile yet strong creature. She assured her it would be okay. And she promised to always stay by her side and watch over her. And that was the day she promised herself as Mao's guardian, and the guardian of any lineage in years to come.
