I love how you do the shadings and colors on body, mane, and tail.

Mariposa - a perfect name for a descendant of the Butterfly Prince!

Yes! What does Porphyro mean, and how do you pronounce Nereide?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Etymologically, the name “Porphyro” derives from “porphyra,” “purple” a precious dye for the garments of nobility. Also, a “porphyre” is a “purple-colored serpent” (867). There is also another strand of critical thought that links Porphyro’s name etymologically to the Greek for “fire-bearing” or “fire-beaerer” (See Garvin)
Nereide is actually from the French word/ship Néréide, and pronunication can be found here: [link]
English/American pronunciation would be NER-reid, with "reid" being pronounced like the surname "Reid".
Hopefully that helped! ^^

I felt it had something to do with butterflies, and I was very wrong. Oh well. It's still purty. You're a walking encyclopedia, woman.
God, can't get my throat, much less my tongue, around that asdfghjkl in Nereide.

Well...the top half was copied and pasted from Wikipedia.
Porphyro was also taken from the Moor hero in the poem "The Eve of St. Agnes".
Thanks, lol. That's actually a comment I get a lot - "walking encyclopedia".

Haha, probably because it's true. Regardless of wikipedia usage.

Oooh very pretty!
Also, both parents are Ayrintili, so its possible for her to have a twin

Hmm...I think I shall design said twin. I'm glad you like her!

I'm going to name her Mariposa, because I feel like the name Porphyro has something to do with butterflies and she is the Butterfly Prince's granddaughter. I think she's going to be more on the purple spectrum, but lighter in color like her mom and with lighter-still markings like her dad, and dark legs. mane and tail probably periwinkle. I be excited.
