Upgrades: Youth I

💫 1: > Blob deposit - Fakekey only - Youth
This imitation of chubby forms a pouch with a visible seam on the body. Usually, it goes on the belly to imitate keke, but it doesn't have to. Although a bit cumbersome, this stores nutrients so that a Fake doesn't have to hunt or eat as much as usual
💫 2: > Eye scales - Fakekey only - Youth
In imitation of drowsiness made up of scales just like those on the cheeks. These surround the eyes and aid in amplifying (just slightly) a fake's mind-altering powers. Scales can be any color
💫 3: > Full fangs - Fakekey only - Youth
This is an imitation of missing teeth that usually proves pretty beneficial to a Fake. Instead of losing teeth, they grow a few more fangs that protrude from their mouths. These leave natural gaps, forming the illusion of having lost a handful. But nay! Your are fiercer than ever!! Fangs should not pass jaw. All fangs should be the accent color unless upgraded otherwise

💫 1: > Glowing tick marks - Fakekey only - Youth
An imitation of blotches, except Fakes don't have scales. Instead, a light layer of fur is grown on the face. The tips of the fur will then change to the accent color and begin to glow lightly
💫 2: > Puff crest - Fakekey only - Youth
Oh no. My horrible, awful hair is so unruly. Whatever shall I do? This is an imitation of bedhead that's literally no big deal. It can change up the fluff crest a Fake already has into something a bit more unique. The crest shouldn't go past the base of the neck, though
💫 3: > Smaller paws - Fakekey only - Youth
The large, monster-y paws are shrunk down to a more keke size. It should keep your from stomping on their very tiny and annoying items

💫 1: > Bad eyesight - Wyrm only - Youth
Instead of opening all of the way, the eyes remain squished and squinty looking
💫 2: > Fused blindness - Wyrm only - Youth
The eyes work, they're just kinda....stuck shut and can't open
💫3: > Mini munchkin - Wyrm only - Youth
The second set of arms ends up even more shrunken than they're supposed to be

💫 1: > Sticky arms - Wyrm only - Youth
The little arms are a bit stuck to the big ones... Oh, wait, they decided to fuse. That's cool
💫 2: > Warped eye - Wyrm only - Youth
The third eye is having a bit of a bad day. The edges of it look sorta wobbly

💫 1: > Candy fangs - Spiced and Cece only - Youth

💫 2: > Cookie mane - Spiced only - Youth
A bumpy, rounded mane that looks like a cookie cutout to match the ears. Should be about regular keke length unless upgraded otherwise
💫 3: > Drizzle points - Spiced only - Youth
The baby drizzle returns and it can now be any color. Can be on the tips of the paws, tail tip, and/or ears only. The pattern is slightly more lenient as well, but should remain the same general shape (one large blob surrounded by a thinner line)

💫 1: > Frosted fluff - Spiced only - Youth
A head tuft except it's made of whipped cream, frosting, or something like that. Can be any color. Max. length is to the lower jaw unless upgraded otherwise
💫 2: > Sprinkles - Spiced and Cece only - Youth
Sprinkles spotted all over like freckles! Can be any color and come in any amount

💫 1: > Arm molt - Exoskeletal only - Youth

💫 2: > Boa - Exoskeletal only - Youth
The mane puffs up and appears to almost ring the lower portion of the neck. Also allows the fur to be any color
💫 3: > Fake feelers - Exoskeletal only - Youth
Growths that look like a smaller version of the ears. Go on the forehead area. Can be one or two pair. May appear to have the same banding as the ears, but they're not real bands, just imitations. Can be any color

💫 1: > Pyrus joints - Exoskeletal only - Youth
Large, knobby joints in the arms. This is usually a sign of an oncoming morph that has more joints than the keke would have in other phases. Can be a bit wobbly and give a weak ankle feel with limbs sometimes buckling under the wrong kind of pressure. However, it doesn't usually cause any pain (other than like...because they fell over)
💫 2: > Sticky molt - Exoskeletal only - Youth
Patches of molted skin are left behind in tattered shreds and refuse to come off. This is usually the result of poor dietary or sleep-related choices, but you can...try to play it off like you did this on purpose? Can be any color

💫 1: > Bighorn - Gribbon only - Youth

The pouch becomes cleft, forming a slight point and two distinct sections. One section can be a slightly darker or lighter version of the accent color while the other should stay the original accent color
💫 2: > Upside down drizzle - Cece only - Youth
The drizzle seems to have forgotten how gravity works and now drips...up?

💫 1: > Fruit salad - Jellied only - Youth
Or...meat salad depending on what you're made up of...? Add more food bits anywhere inside the jelly. Food does not have to match the existing type and you can become a horrible flavor abomination if you so desire. However, it does still have to be a natural-occurring food item and not like cake or stromboli or something
💫 2: > Purée - Jellied only - Youth
The food inside the jelly seems to have been blended to a pulp...! Can affect all of the food or just parts. Can also be used to move the blended food to places it would normally not be

A set of imposing horns that can appear above or below the skin and be any color. These can curl in any direction, have small spikes jutting off of them, and have carvings in the surface

Shaped scales that surround the eye and may branch off across the face for short distances. Can be any color. Should cover less than half of each side of the face

💫 1: > Disappearing tail - Elver only - Youth
The end portion of the naga tail seems to be made up of the tail fin more than the base color now! It "disappears" into the fin color
💫 2: > Extended arms - Elver only - Youth
The arms remain visible much further down. The fin can cover anywhere between the elbow and the wrist. A paw should not be visible, as Elvers do not have paws (unless upgraded otherwise)
💫 3: > Fading skin - Elver/Glowis Maxima only - Youth
The skin that makes up the fins is so light...you can sort of see through it! Adds a little bit of transparency to fins (In species with the absence of fins, this works on other membranes such as wings)

💫 1: > Gap closer - Elver only - Youth

Flaps like on the back, except they're on your arms! These aid in camouflage, but can also get kinda in the way...

Dark, blurry spots that look like bruised or overripe fruit. Can be any dark color and go on the body and/or cheek pouches
💫 3: > Extra twigs - Furnan only - Youth
Extra bundles of sticks form on the body. They can be any length and color. Unfortunately, this upgrade is uh....kind of embarrassing for Furnans. It's like you...just got really hairy all of the sudden, so erm......yea

💫 1: > Sandy blood - Furnan only - Youth
The blood takes on a texture like the inside of a summer berry, which is to say...sorta wet sand-y. The initial change can make a keke lethargic, but they'll soon adapt to it and act as usual

Add more scales like on the muzzle/forearms to other places on the body. This allows added scales to be any color
💫 2: > Smooth - Aida only - Youth

Patches of the invisible tail become visible here and there. Can't be used to make the whole tail visible

Oh no!!! The paws return to a more hatchling-like size, this is an absolute tragedy
💫 2: > Bumper snoot - Arboreal only - Youth

More creases like the one that connects the eye to the tip of the muzzle. These can go anywhere on the body. Should remain thin, appearing as only lines

💫 2: > Superfluff Ears - Arboreal only - Youth
The ears elongate...just because they feel like it? Doesn't change the general shape

💫 1: > Elbow tufts - Pantan only - Youth

The baby spots return or appear for the first time and can now be any color. They must still be small, simple spots. Can go anywhere on the base
💫 2: > Patchy mane - Leopurr and Pantan only - Youth

The line that separates the nose from the whimsy pad on the face blurs or disappears completely. This can give the nose a sort of deer or cow look

💫 2: > Whimsy shimmer - Quillrend only - Youth

💫 2: > Elemental vents - Equinox and Enchanted only - Youth
Small openings in the skin that display a Nox's breed's element in any way that makes sense (ie fire can have flames, smoke, sparks...). Vents will not emit a significant of output. So, a wind-elemental will not put out so much wind that it blows others away. Output may be any color
